The relative liquidity of the Eurobond market compared to the United States is a hotly debated question. The general impression is that the Eurobond market is less liquid than the US corporate sector. The average transaction size is greater in the United States, reflecting the market s larger size ( 1,679 billion versus 651 billion) and the concentrated structure of the investor base. Other obvious liquidity metrics, such as bid/offer spreads are hard to track consistently. What is true is that secondary market trading conventions have converged over time.

Highly saturated nitrile elastomers (HSN) have become available. These mbbers are prepared by (nearly complete) hydrogenation of the nitrile mbber copolymer. The resulting product has better heat and oxidation resistance than conventional nitrile mbber but still retains some double bonds for vulcanization. Trade names for HSN are Zetpol (Nippon Zeon), Therbar (Bayer), and Tormac (Polysar). HSN has been used, and is being developed, for oil field chemical, automotive, power station, aerospace, military, and industrial appHcations (66).

Fair trade exploited the mainstream channels by focusing on selling to institutional outlets. In 1988, the first fair trade label, Max Havelaar, was established in The Netherlands. This seal of approval was awarded to conventional businesses that respected fair trade standards that were open to external monitoring. Other labels such as Transfair International (co-founded by EFTA) and the Fairtrade Foundation, have also evolved. The International Fair Trade Labelling Organisation (FLO) has coordinated all fair trade labelling since April 1997 (EFTA, 1998).
