RECLASSIFICATION OF HANDPHONES

EURO-PEAN UNION ON HAND PHONE

The European Union (EU) intention to reclassify or set the criteria for certain types of "multifunction" products, of hand phones with GPS function, of certain size, etc.

The EU has been actively working to lower the telecommunication costs for consumers, by lowering roaming costs.

If mobile phones with the additional mobile broadcasting features are reclassified as TVs with attached 14% EU import duty, this would increase the costs to customers.

The European Communities have signed up to the 1996 Information Technology Agreement (ITA). The ITA guarantees a duty free import for all mobile phones under heading 8517.

"Mobile phones” defining as "Cellular or mobile phones are wireless communication devices that simultaneously send and receive voice, data or other mobile communication transmissions via radio waves.

Mobile phones are capable of converting user's voice, into radio waves, and radio waves back into voice. The radio waves from a cellular or mobile phone travel to a cellular base station. Subsequently, they are forwarded to the base station situated closest available to the destination cellular or mobile phone."

"Mobile phones generally have the following characteristics".

• They are "pocket-sized" i.e. have dimensions, which do not exceed 170 mm x 100 mm x 45 mm. The size in which it is actually carried by the consumer is the most compact, smallest form.

Mobile phones can also consist of separate parts forming a mobile phone kit, such as, a wrist mobile phone with a detachable headset.

Devices are becoming increasingly larger, due to consumer expectations for larger screens and keypads that provide increased usability.

The needs of special user groups, such as, growing market segment for elderly people.

• It has a dialing sector of the push-button or touch screen type.

"User interface" instead of "a dialing sector and "voice input.

• It is capable of operating without an external source of electric power;

• It have a microphone and an earphone, either in the same unit or in the form of a detachable headset for the transmission and reception of voice enabling voice communication when the apparatus is held to the ear.

• It incorporate other components, such as, an amplifier and an antenna for telephony, which provide for dual-way short-range transmission of voice within a network consisting of base stations and using mobile telephony frequency bands.

• It can be used as a telephony communication device equipped with a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card that has been activated.

Hand phones also have other features, such as, sending and receiving SMS (Short Message Service) and MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) messages, emails; packet switching for access to the Internet; sending and receiving positioning signals; gaming; receiving radio or television signals; capturing, recording and reproducing sound and images.

Access to the Internet, sending and receiving positioning signals, navigating, routing, maps, gaming, Bluetooth, NFC Near Field Communication, receiving radio or television programs.

Additional features, such as, clocks, calculators, address books, PDAs, caller IDs, games, MP3 players, cameras, FM-radios, Mobile TVs or GPS locators.

Able to send or receive data, video, images, audio signals, i.e. supporting communication to the internet and thereby enabling web browsing, e-mail or “information management use” via the cellular or other wireless network.

This subheading excludes apparatus with a wireless telephony function incorporating:

• Personal digital assistant incorporating an alphanumerical keypad.

There is a suggestion on an inbuilt memory to have exceeding 16 Gigabytes.

However, based on EC data, Malaysia’s exports of hand phones under CN85171200 (telephones for cellular networks or for other wireless networks), totaled Euro 443.8 million in 2007 (RM2.067 billion). Are we going to effect by these measures?

Survival.

“Survival” Dalam Takrif Yang Mudah

Apa yang kita dapati sesuatu yang menarik kepada sesaorang pemimpin ialah apabila kita dapati sesaorang pemimpin itu sudi secara sukarela, mendengar apa yang hendak kita sampaikan kepadanya. Apabila kita bercakap kepada dia, dia selalunya menunggu untuk kita menyatakan sesuatu, iaitu sesuatu pekara yang dia (pemimpin) tidak tahu lagi dan ingin tahu. Orang yang mendengar (pemimpin) itu, ingin untuk belajar sesuatu yang baru yang dia tidak tahu.

Didalam soal ini kita semua perlu menjana untuk mengatasi masalah untuk bagaimana “survival”, khususnya dalam berniaga, terutama didalam keadaan krisis kewangan yang melanda ekonomi dunia sekarang.

Berbagai artikel kita boleh baca..... tetapi saya perturunkan dibawah ini, antaranya:

Disini dinyatakan bagaimana sesaorang itu untuk “survive” – Sesaorang ahli perniagaan bersama isterinya berniaga barang kemas/emas batu permata wanita, dimana mereka menjual barang kemas batu permata wanita yang bermutu tinggi. Kebanyakan pelanggan-pelanggan mereka adalah kaum hawa yang terdiri dari wanita dewasa dan wanita remaja. Pandangan mereka adalah selagi ada wanita yang mempunyai telinga, leher, tangan, jari tangan dan kaki, mereka berfikir, mereka boleh menjual sebahagian dari barang kemas – emas, batu permata wanita tersebut kepada pelanggan mereka.

Disinilah bermulanya bagaimana mereka memulakan perniagaan mereka tersebut.

Kebanyakan wanita amat menyukai jika dilihat diri mereka sangat cantik dan menawan apabila memakai barangan kemas bermutu tinggi tersebut.

Selain dari itu, sudah menjadi pengetahuan umum bahawa membeli emas, permata, berlian adalah dianggap sebagai salah satu pelaburan yang bagus dan tidak merugikan.

Kalau dibaca ini, ianya mungkin berbunyi/nampak mudah sahaja, tetapi mengapa ianya perlu terlalu menyusahkan atau bermasalah?.

Dinyatakan juga, pada suatu ketika seorang usahawan industri terkemuka dari Afrika Selatan bernama Ernest Oppenheimer, pengasas “the Anglo American Corporation dan De Beers Diamonds ada menyatakan pekara yang sama juga.

Diperingkat awal sejarahnya, Oppenheimer berada dipersimpangan dalam menentukan bentuk perniagaan beliau. Dengan mempunyai modal yang kurang, Oppenheimer telah membuat keputusan samada ingin pergi secara besar-besaran kearah industri perkilangan dan pembuatan produk besi keluli, atau, melabur secara besar-besaran di lombong berlian beliau di Afrika Selatan.

Oppenheimer telah memilih untuk berlian, kerana beliau memikirkan beliau mempunyai kepercayaan terhadap berlian, disebabkan oleh jangkaan yang tepat terhadap kehendak dan naluri wanita yang ada yang mempunyai elemen-elemen ego, banggakan diri, hidung tinggi, bila memakai barangan kemas yang bernilai tinggi dibadan mereka, berbanding jangkaan terhadap permintaan bagi barangan industri di pasaran.

Selagi ada manusia di dunia ini, disitulah adanya permintaan yang memberangsangkan untuk barangan dan perkhidmatan yang diperlukan oleh mereka.

Melihat terhadap penjualan barangan yang kita promosikan, kita sebagai peniaga, perlu:

· membuat dan menyediakan produk/barangan yang berkualiti tinggi;

· meletakkan harga yang amat berpatutan;

· mengeluar, mempunyai rekaan dan mempamerkan barangan yang begitu/amat menarik di mata pelanggan;

· menjadi sejujur-jujurnya dalam didalam menyampai/menyerahkan barangan yang dikehendaki oleh pelanggan tersebut;

· Memberi khidmat kepada pelanggan dengan dengan senyuman yang sejujur-jujurnya;

· Akhirnya, perlu sesungguh-sungguhnya menumpukan perhatian kepada “core-business” perniagaan yang ada sepenuhnya dan jangan terjadi peralihan tumpuan kepada pekara-pekara yang lain (don’t get side tracked).

Ini akan menjadikan kita dapat melalui perjalanan perniagaan kita secara lancar dan perniagaan kita akan dapat berkembang dengan baik – diharapkan.......

Kalau pun kita “apply” ianya di dalam politik (sekirnya kita seorang ahli politik) juga adalah mempunyai pekara dan cara yang lebih kurang sama sahaja.

Barrier To Trade

Bringing Down the Trade Barriers

Helping small exporters in developing countries adapt to new global trade condition. How to overcome the difficulties of small to medium-size enterprises (SMEs) taking up global market opportunities on the WTO issues, where two key messages emerged.

The first was the need for the WTO to engage the private sector by keeping pace with the evolution of business practises; the second was the critical role the WTO can play in providing transparency, predictability and legal certainty to SMEs in developing countries.

Views from the private sectors of developing countries and the WTO Secretariat were obtained on the WTO’s role in dealing with emerging issues, in particular the many private standards and non-tariff measures, facilitating trade in services, as well as, growing regionalism and bilateralism.

Buyers’ Market

The market has changed drastically over the years, from a suppliers’ market to an extreme buyers’ market. Suppliers are under increasing pressure from large retailers to meet various private and highly stringent standards while at the same time being forced to accept restrictive commercial terms. While lead times are being reduced, penalties for late deliveries are getting har-sher. Furthermore, it is increasingly common for payment options to include 90 days’ open-credit terms, and insurance cover is getting higher and more difficult for SMEs to obtain. While the proliferation of private standards is difficult to address, the WTO – through the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade – provides a good basis for raising the issues and resolving disputes. In addition, Aid for Trade can assist the development and expansion of productive capacities and the reduction of trade costs. Regional development banks can also work with SMEs to upscale their certification, packaging and labelling standards. But it was agreed that the mounting market dominance of large retail chains may need to be addressed through effective cooperation and implementation of competition and anti-trust regulations.

Trade in Services

Liberalizing trade in services was also a major issue, characterized by a recent survey in the developing countries that identified the need for domestic policy reform to create the right regulatory framework. Some of the Chamber of Commerce in developing countries emphasized, ‘We are already open but we are not ready to open’, meaning some developing countries are open to foreign service-providers but are reluctant to make legally binding multilateral, regional and bilateral commitments, because it lacks the enabling regulation, as well as, the awareness, expertise, public prioritizing and private sector willingness to engage in the WTO process. Many other key and typical challenges were identified in the developing countries. Four of these – difficulties in obtaining travel documents; regulatory and licensing barriers in foreign markets; market access barriers in foreign markets; and lack of market information – can be addressed within the WTO.

Responding to Regionalism

Also reviewed was the role of the WTO in the face of growing regionalism, following debate about whether bilateral and regional agreements serve as ‘building blocks’ or ‘stumbling blocks’ for an open international trading system. The plethora of regional agreements establishes a patchwork of commitments and creates systemic frictions between the bilateral/regional agreements and the WTO agreements. It was accepted that the scope of the WTO dispute-settlement mechanism (DSM) should be strengthened to apply its rules to regional agreements; that, in the face of this growing regionalism, the WTO had a critical role in building analytical capabilities and negotiating skills in developing countries; and that the WTO could establish an advisory centre to provide direct assistance and training on bilateral and regional negotiations.

Under a new transparency mechanism adopted, the WTO Secretariat has a mandate to prepare factual reports on all bilateral and regional trade agreements. While these reports cannot form value judgements, they alert other WTO members of the rules and practices in bilateral and regional trade agreements that adversely affect non-parties to the agreements. It was acknowledged, however, that the WTO might need to take a more proactive approach in future in addressing these issues.
