一周要聞

歐盟、美國將對金融體系實施更嚴格的政府監管

歐盟和美國已著手制定針對金融市場的更為嚴格的政府監管法律。為4月在倫敦舉行的G20首腦會議做準備，歐盟領導人提出一項計劃旨在創建一個包含金融市場、金融產品和參與者，以及對沖基金的綜合的監管體系。該計劃要求設立兩個金融體系，從收集和分析金融穩定性的信息兩個角度監督有關國家的機構。在美國，奧巴馬政府宣布將針對全美最大的20家銀行開展財務狀況審查，以確定在經濟形勢進一步惡化的情況下的應變能力。有傳聞認為這一“壓力測試”將導致一些銀行的國有化，與此相反，美國政府表示，這是“確保銀行具有相應的資本和流動性??以恢復經濟增長，”而且，任何投資將采取優先股形式，并將在財務狀況有所改善之時轉換成普通股并出售。

全球領導人提出應對汞使用的方案

140多個國家已經同意進行談判以簽訂具有法律約束力的條約以逐步停止使用汞——人一旦暴露在這種毒素環境中，將產生阻礙大腦發育、肝臟損傷、記憶喪失和視覺損害的影響。這項協議在聯合國環境部長會議上提出。在美國宣布其改變立場、將出臺汞排放的強制性法令后，中國、印度和其他國家也已同意支持制定一項強制性的條約。

食品丑聞催生更嚴格的監管

對一系列全球食品丑聞的回應——包括美國最近爆發的沙門氏菌污染花生醬事件和中國的三聚氰胺污染奶粉事件——世界上最大的糧食生產商都在嚴格控制其生產過程。“食品安全已經成為一個政治議題，”糧食和農業組織的食品和營養司負責食品質量的行政長官表示，“沒有政府能夠接受因為食品安全問題而不能保護本國人民。”美國國會提議設立一個食品安全管理行政部門，相當于歐洲食品安全局。目前還沒有全球性的食品安全標準，雀巢等公司正在實施ISO的標準。

富裕國家未能兌現氣候承諾

據英國報紙Guardian分析發現，在過去7年中，富裕國家承諾用近180億美元來幫助發展中國家應對氣候變化，但是兌現的不到9億美元。分析還顯示，在過去4年里，非洲這一最貧窮的大陸——使用的資金不到基金的12％；且這些國家需要花3年的時間才能取得資金；同時，用于應對氣候變化的資金屬于官方援助預算，很少用于衛生保健、教育和扶貧。到目前為止，世界銀行的兩個氣候投資基金還沒有資金進入，7.6億美元的大部分是通過聯合國全球環境機制用于中國、印度和巴西，而余下不到1億美元用于49個最貧窮的國家。

This Week's Top Headlines

EU, U.S. Push for Stricter Government Oversight of Financial System

The European Union and the United States have moved to enact tighter government control over financial markets. In preparation for the April Group of 20 summit in London, European leaders proposed a plan to create a comprehensive regulatory framework covering financial markets, products, and participants, including hedge funds. In the United States, the Obama administration announced plans to scrutinize the financial conditions of the 20 biggest U.S. banks to determine their resiliency to worsening conditions. Contrary to rumors that these “stress tests” would result in the nationalization of some banks, the U.S. government said it would “ensure that banks have the capital and liquidity they need … to restore economic growth,” and that any investment would take the form of preferred shares that would be converted to common shares and sold as financial conditions improve.

Global Leaders Tackle Mercury

More than 140 nations have agreed to negotiate a legally binding treaty to phase out the use of mercury—a toxin that hampers brain development and causes liver damage, memory loss, and vision impairment when humans are exposed. The agreement—made at a UN meeting of environmental ministers—followed the announcement that the United States has reversed its stance on mercury emissions and now favors a legal ban. Based on that change, China, India, and other nations have agreed to endorse a mandatory treaty as well.

Food Scandals Prompt Tighter Control

In response to a series of global food scandals—including the recent U.S. salmonella outbreak in peanuts and Chinas melamine-tainted milk episode—the worlds largest food producers are tightening control of their manufacturing operations. “Food safety has become a political agenda,” chief of food quality in the Food and Agriculture Organizations food and nutrition division. The U.S. Congress proposed creating a Food Safety Administration, equivalent to the European Food Safety Authority. While there are currently no global food safety standards, companies such as Nestlé have implemented ISO standards.

Wealthy Countries Coming Up Short on

Climate Commitments

An analysis by the Guardian found that while rich nations have pledged nearly US$18 billion in the last seven years to help developing countries adapt to climate change, they have dispersed less than US$0.9 billion. The analysis also revealed that Africa—the poorest continent—has received less than 12 percent of climate fund money spent in the last 4 years; it can take countries three years to access the money; and money pledged for climate change comes from official aid budgets, leaving less for health, education, and poverty alleviation. So far, no money has been deposited in the two World Bank climate investment funds, and most of the US$760 million distributed through the UNs Global Environment Facility has gone to China, India, and Brazil, leaving less than US$100 million for the 49 poorest countries.
