Repatriation

Where the process is a labor intensive, low-cost workers are required in numbers (for example, textiles and clothing). The cost of capital has little effect on the choice of location as capital sources can be from anywhere. The ability, however, to repatriate profits and the proceeds from the sales of assets and exposure to foreign exchange risk are important if the location options are abroad.

Some of you may wonder how it was possible to bring a manuscript of 750 pages from Stalin s Soviet Russia to Austria. It s a remarkable story. When Lorenz learned that he was about to be repatriated, he announced that he had this manuscript and that he wanted to take it back. He was immediately transferred to another camp, prompting him to think that he had spoiled his chances for a return. But to his surprise he was given a typewriter and ordered to copy the manuscript word for word. This done he was sent to report in Moscow, accompanied by a guardian of course.

Australia is evident from information published by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW). Expenditure on benefit-paid items under the PBS is the largest single component of total expenditure on pharmaceuticals. In 2001-2 the cost to government under the PBS, not including expenditure under the Repatriation Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (RPBS) was AUD 4181 million. This increased to an estimated AUD 4572 million in 2002-3 with the share of total cost of the PBS met by the Commonwealth being 84.2%. 

In 2002-3 there were 158.5 million community PBS prescriptions -132.7 million (83.7%) to concessional patients (pensioners, seniors, repatriation health beneficiaries) and 25.9 million to general patients. In addition, about 42.1 million prescriptions did not attract a subsidy - 26 million below the co-pa)unent threshold and about 16.1 million private prescriptions, that is, prescriptions for drugs not listed on the PBSorRPBS, for which the consumer pays the full cost of the medicine. Thus 79.0% of prescriptions were for items subsidised through the PBS. 

Extraction from ancient remains is a completely destructive process and, as such, this process might not be permitted, for example, on extremely rare samples. Likewise, in the United States, Native American human remains that are to be repatriated to their descendants (Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, or NAGPRA) may be unavailable for study. 

But in 1957 new regulations came into effect that not only guaranteed a 12 percent dividend investment, against a normal 8 percent dividend in ordinary mixed companies. The Peking government also made provision for repatriation of part of the profits to the overseas Chinese investor.

After World War I, a dramatic rise in hashish usage occurred in Greece prompted by the return of Greek soldiers and the repatriation of about half a million Greek citizens from Asia Minor. These soldiers and citizens had been living in areas where hashish was accepted and cultivation was a normal part of life. When these people returned to the Greek mainland, they brought their acquired habits and familiarity with hashish with them.

For the merchant auxiliaries that survived, World War I had ended none too soon. For some, national service continued for many months more with repatriation duties but at least they no longer had to contend with the insidious wartime hazards of torpedo and mine. W hen this work was completed the ships were demobbed one by one and returned to their normal employment sparkling company colours to hide drab grey or psychedelic dazzle extravagance and luxury to replace austerity and discomfort and cheerful travellers replacing the hundreds of impersonal brown uniforms.
