United Kingdom investment

The acquisition of the rights to the viscose process became one of the most profitable investments of aU time. Interest in the new fiber was intense, and growth of production capacity was exponential. By 1907, the Courtauld company was selling aU the artificial sHk it could produce and proceeded to expand into the U.S. market. In 1910 they formed the American Viscose Co. and in 1911 started the first U.S. viscose factory at Marcus Hook. By 1939, Courtaulds had six factories in the United States, seven in the United Kingdom, one in Erance, one in Canada, and joint ventures in Germany and Italy. [Pg.344]

Thus it will be necessary to exploit other more abundant resources of hydrocarbons. In the United Kingdom there are large reserves of coal which could satisfy demand for at least two hundred and fifty years. The National Coal Board currently mines approximately 120 million tons of coal per annum of which 65% is used for generating electricity (JO. (Combustion of the low sulphur British coals does not result in excessive atmospheric pollution.) To satisfy the increased demand for coal the National Coal Board has undertaken an investment programme which includes the development of a mining complex at Selby in Yorkshire which, it is estimated, will produce in excess of 10-million tons when full production is reached in 1988. [Pg.115]

The LA had 35 days to respond to the notification to proceed with a clinical trial but could in exceptional circumstances require a further 28 days to consider the notification, if the CTX was refused, the applicant could apply for a CTC, in which case complete data had to be filed, if the CTC application was refused the statutory appeal procedures came into play if the applicant company wished to avail itself of this provision. These appeal procedures were identical with those applying to marketing applications. The CTX scheme proved highly successful in encouraging inward investment into research in the United Kingdom, in a sample of 42 companies, an increase in research investment of 10% or more was attributed to the scheme by 23 of them. its implementation was criticised by consumer groups and its effect was carefully monitored every 6 months to ensure that no added risk to patients had been introduced. [Pg.476]

The prices of medicines sold to the NHS are controlled in the United Kingdom by the PPRS, negotiated periodically every 5 to 6 years by the DoH with the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI), for example in 1979, 1986, 1993 and 1999. The PPRS controls the maximum - but not guaranteed - profits that pharmaceutical companies make on the capital they have invested in plant for research, development and manufacturing for sales made to the NHS. (Capital employed by the individual companies... [Pg.705]

A number of non-UK European-based companies have criticised the rate of return on capital (ROC) on the basis that it favours companies with a large capital base in the United Kingdom and could therefore be regarded as an incentive to invest in the United Kingdom, which is contrary to European Union legislation. [Pg.709]

The same group of companies have regarded the PPRS as discriminatory, as companies with a significant capital investment in the United Kingdom have their profits determined as return on capital base, whereas others that have a large investment in the European Union as a whole may operate in the United Kingdom as sales companies only. In this situation, these companies are treated on a percentage profit on sales, which are less favourable terms. [Pg.709]

Some European countries have supported the most significant Russian project for the near future. This was announced during president Putin s visit to the United Kingdom (2003) as was stated that the UK is ready to invest some US 6 billion for the development of the North-European pipeline system to take gas from Russian Barents Sea to Europe via the Baltic Sea. [Pg.12]

There were probably no better-equipped forces in respect of anti-gas defence than those of the United Kingdom in the late 1930s. Britain had emerged from the First World War with a primitive respirator and basic techniques for gas-proofing dugouts, and little else. At the end of the 1930s, superior-quality anti-gas equipment was available to the armed forces to cater for all known hazards and a cheap, but efficient, respirator had also been developed for the civilian population.48 However, as far as offensive capabilities were concerned, investment had been limited and production had been minimal in terms of agents and weapons due to political unease and uncertainties. By 1938 the international situation was such that offensive research and development and the production of war reserve stocks of mustard gas were authorised by the British Cabinet, albeit that it was realised that a useful production output could not be obtained for at least 12-18 months. [Pg.54]

Speirs and Griffin (1983) described the effect of the CTX scheme in attracting clinical studies on NCE in the first year of operation of the scheme. In 1980, there were 87 applications for CTC in 1981, the first year of the CTX scheme, there were 210 applications for CTX, of which 79 were for NCEs. Speirs et al. (1984) studied the effects of the CTX in encouraging inward investment into research in the United Kingdom 23 companies had increased their research investment by 100%. [Pg.427]

Foreign direct investment in chemicals and allied products in the United States has increased more than sixfold from 1980 through 1994, as shown in Table 9.12. New investment outlays by foreign companies amounted to about 80 billion in 1996 but declined to about 70 billion in 1997. European companies in the United Kingdom and Germany are the heaviest investors. Japanese... [Pg.370]

In addition, any investments in R D facilities and equipment in the United Kingdom are added to the estimated capital employed. [Pg.260]

Certain companies in the United Kingdom are participating in a scheme known as Investors in People (IIP), a systematic approach to staff training based on formal methods that mirrors ISO 9000. Its intention is to provide a framework of standards that ensure that the training provided for each member of staff is formally geared to the needs of the business. In this way, it becomes possible to demonstrate that the firm is deriving the maximum benefit from all training investment. [Pg.421]
