We are also, both at state and Federal levels, dismantling the legal and regulatory structures that have maintained the monopoly power of yesterday s electricity sector. Twenty four states have already implemented some form of deregulation Industry and the states are taking the lead and moving forward, as they should. But federal legislation is still critical. 

Although the US is one of the few countries to have a formal system for monitoring adverse reactions from food additives as part of its regulatory structure, other countries also periodically review additives. In addition, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO) also monitors food additives. Since 1956, the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives has developed specifications for the purity of additives, evaluated toxicological data, and recommended safe levels of use.

Before deseribing the seope of the study, it is important to understand the historical context in whieh Hateh-Waxman arose. Moreover, the generie approval process Hatch-Waxman implemented demands an understanding of the interaction of the patent system and the regulatory structure governing the approval of brand-name drugs. 

Although much work needs to be done in developing organic regulatory structures at an international level that are truly sensitive to the needs of producers and the local realities that they face, a harmonised standards architecture based on general baseline standards upon which local or regional standards can be fleshed out, along with an allowance for justified variations, offer useful models and tools that can be built upon. 

The role of zinc in the enzymes listed in Table 12 is very often that of a strong Lewis acid, in which substrates are coordinated, polarized and hence activated. In other cases, zinc may play a regulatory, structural or template role. Zinc may also have a structural function in other biological molecules, for example in the unwinding and subsequent rewinding of the double-stranded polymers involved in replication and transcriptional processes. There is also evidence for a role for zinc in the stabilization of membranes and cell walls.463 The high concentrations of zinc in certain snake venoms reflect the presence in the venom of proteolytic enzymes and hemorrhagic toxins that all require zinc for activity.464... 

In addition to the unique regulatory structure in the European Union and the specific guidelines referred to above, there are a few other comments and issues relating to the interpretation and application of the ICH guidance. 

Actors may otherwise not have been included due to (1) their lack of scientific or technical expertise or (11) the decentralised parts of its regulatory structure.

It should be noted that the obligation undertaken imder sub-paragraph (b) in particular is very broad. The use of the term measures in the chapeau of the provision, combined with the breadth of the obligation to ensure that prohibited activities do not occur, indicates that a State Party may have to take a variety of actions. For example, it could be read to require a State Party to have in place a regulatory structure that ensures that the provisions of the CWC are not violated, as well as to require that a State Party enforce any legislation that it already has in place.
