SWANSEA law firm JCP Solicitors has become the first law firm in Wales to provide a fixed price service for farmers appealing against deductions to their Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) subsidies. The Rural Practice Team at JCP Solicitors, who are also a legal panel firm of the NFU for South Wales, successfully secured Welsh farmers in excess of Pounds 700,000 in 2009 and 2010 through their specialist representation of clients disputing their CAP allowance.
On Wednesday, May 26, I was greatly saddened and alarmed to read in the WMN of the declining cod stocks in the angling article by Mike Millman. We also appear to have yet another case in front of the courts regarding alleged illegal fishing by a local skipper. What on earth is going on? Over-fishing has been a problem for some years - remember the "Cod War" with Iceland? Remember Ted Heath telling us that the ending of our 12-mile exclusion zone was a "small price to pay" for joining the EEC? Some small price! The Common Fisheries Policy has been absolutely disastrous for our fish stocks. It has been absolutely disastrous for our fishing fleet and all of the people who work(ed) in it. But if you think that we have it bad, then just consider the following gems gleaned from an IPS article...
ELIN Jones last night rejected calls by Westminster to scrap EU farm subsidies as a way of damping down food price increases. The Welsh rural affairs minister said the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) sustained farming in many parts of rural Wales and was a force for public good.
DESPITE the dairy sector suffering huge changes as a result of Common Agricultural Policy reforms and price pressure from cuts in intervention support, the industry will face a greater challenge as the World Trade Organisation presses for the end of import levies and export subsidies. Jim Begg, director general of UK Dairy, the industrywide body formed in October 2004, yesterday argued that the European Union must secure the continuation of "meaningful tariff protection" to avoid a collapse in prices.
We investigate the joint effects of dividend propensity (i.e. whether a firm pays cash dividends) and voluntary disclosure on the relationship between current stock returns and future earnings. We examine whether dividend propensity and voluntary disclosure act as substitutes or complements in the financial communication process. We also examine whether the effects of dividend propensity and voluntary disclosure vary between high- and low-growth firms. Consistent with prior studies, we find that share price anticipation of earnings improves with increasing levels of annual report narrative disclosure, and that firms that pay dividends exhibit higher levels of share price anticipation of earnings than non-dividend-paying firms. The paper adds to the literature on share price anticipation...

In this paper, Granger Causality test and Johansen Cointegration Technique have been employed to investigate the causality between stock and currency markets of five Asian economies namely Pakistan, India, Indonesia, Korea and Sri Lanka. Nature of short run causality between stock and currency markets has been found different in different countries. In Pakistan, India and Indonesia, it runs from exchange rate to stock market, while feed back relationship has been found in case of Korea and Sri Lanka. However, Johansen's cointegration negates the existence of any long run causality between stock and currency markets in all the sample economies. Our findings support traditional approach in the short run and asset market approach in the long run. Results have implications for policy makers...

A price hike too far Dutiful duchess OF ALL THE politicians, pundits and pop stars now pledging themselves to changing the fortunes of Africa, there are few more apparently committed than the Chancellor, Gordon Brown. Yesterday, in a speech to Unicef, he took the European Union to task for its "hypocrisy" in respect of Africa: it simultaneously gives aid and yet, through subsidies to its own farmers, it skews the market for agricultural produce against African producers. One of the best ways of relieving poverty in Africa is indeed to allow groups such as the continent's sugar growers fair access to world markets. The EU has already acted to reduce some of its support for sugar producers. It is unhelpful, however, to suggest there is a simple link between helping Africa and cutting supp...
The European Commission has finally unveiled its long-awaited "Health Check" of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Contrary to popular opinion, this was scheduled for nearly five years, after being mandated as part of the 2003/04 Reforms of the CAP and is not a response to the recent food-price rise.
Consumer price inflation fell back sharply to a lower than expected 3.9% in May from 4.6% in April and a seven-year high of 4.8% in March when a fuel price rise hit hard. As in April, falling food price inflation offset the impact of high transport costs. The result was welcome news for the authorities but all eyes are now on June when an average increase of 12% in power tariffs will show through. Mainly because of this hike, independent forecasts for 2006 inflation have been nudged up towards 4.1%, against a 3.9% rise over the first five months, and the official view may be similar although forecasts are not quite at that level. A few days earlier, central bank governor Zeti Akhtar Aziz said that interest rates should not be the only way to deal with inflation, apparently endorsing wha...
