<\/p>
The Commission has the power to grant equivalence to third countries for their system of reporting payments to governments regarding the logging and mining activities of undertakings. There is no Parliamentary process built into the Commission\u2019s decision. However there are specific criteria that the Commission must consider when exercising those powers.<\/p>
<\/p>
These Regulations transfer the power to the Secretary of State, to be exercised using the same criteria. The detailed criteria for forming the basis for granting equivalence are set out in paragraph 37 of Schedule 3 to the Regulations.<\/p>

Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) are development-focused trade agreements which aim to promote increased trade and investment and thereby contribute to sustainable development and poverty reduction.<\/p>

I am satisfied that criticism raised during the negotiation of the EPAs is addressed in the agreements.

The Government recently consulted on draft amendments to regulations that would enable the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) to charge companies for the cost of developing technology appraisal and highly specialised technology evaluation recommendations relating to their products and to allow NICE to recruit appeal panel members representing the National Health Service from the devolved administrations.<\/p>
<\/p>
The consultation included a draft Impact Assessment and sought views on allowing NICE to charge small companies less and permit small companies to pay in instalments. The charging model in the consultation document proposed a 25% discount for small companies.
