All radioactive substances for which no other use is envisaged and whose properties make them unsuitable for the authorised release, use or release before official control must be treated as radioactive waste. The management of radioactive waste must be based on compliance with the characteristics of the waste and the requirements arising from the different stages of its management (pre-treatment, treatment, conditioning, transport, storage and disposal). Waste packaging must be designed and manufactured in such a way that radioactive material is adequately contained both in normal operation and under accidental conditions which may occur during the handling, storage, transport and disposal of the waste. The indicators of the legal and regulatory framework largely follow the results published in the annual report “Women, Economy and Law” and aim to collect information on women`s legal rights in a country. The indicators examine national laws regarding conditions inside and outside the home, including a woman`s ability to inherit and hold assets, access credit and sign contracts, and obtain legal protection against sexual harassment and other forms of discrimination. Taken together, the legal and regulatory indicators provide information on the value and visibility of women in a society in relation to men and on the progress made by women in terms of gender equality. This information may indicate where further legal and policy measures are needed. The matrix is organized according to the four main categories of constraints in the toolbox (legal and regulatory factors; access to finance; education, skills and information; Market access). For each category, the barriers faced by women entrepreneurs are listed. These obstacles are economic and social factors that can affect the population in general, the business community or women as a group and, as such, represent obstacles that stagnate the growth of WMSME, such as pressure on the processes of creation and formalization of enterprises, obstruction of access to the resources necessary to promote growth, and/or restrict the flow of information and communication between stakeholders. It is important that project teams use diagnostic information to determine which obstacles to consider most critically in project planning.

The Legal and Regulatory Framework Matrix category covers general issues related to laws, regulations and policies adopted by governments, including stakeholder participation and input into the decision-making process. the impact or absence of these government efforts on citizens; and mechanisms for citizens to provide feedback. Operators` organizations have primary responsibility for safety and are required to conduct safety assessments and develop a safety case to demonstrate safety. They must also ensure that activities necessary for site selection, planning, construction, commissioning, operation, shutdown and decommissioning are carried out in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements. The interdependencies between all stages of pre-disposal management of RAW and the impact of the planned disposal option must be duly taken into account, and regulators must ensure that different operators` organisations are responsible for different aspects of waste management such as treatment, transport, storage and disposal. An integrated approach must also be taken in terms of safety and security when disposing of RAW prior to disposal. The quality of all work affecting safety must be of a high standard and, in this regard, appropriate management systems must be applied at all stages and elements of the work performed. This publication sets out the requirements for the state, legal and regulatory security framework. It covers key aspects of the framework for the establishment of a regulatory body and the adoption of other measures necessary to ensure effective regulatory control of facilities and activities used for peaceful purposes.

Other responsibilities and functions, such as liaison within the global security regime and security support services (including radiation protection), emergency preparedness and response, nuclear safety, and the government`s nuclear material accountancy and control system, are also addressed. Following the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan, a review of the literature on safety requirements began in 2011. The review found no significant weaknesses and resulted in only a small number of changes to strengthen the requirements and facilitate their implementation, which are included in this publication. In some countries, legal frameworks and practices can already enable inclusive and reliable identification systems. In many other cases, however, there are no important laws and regulations, are not enforced, are not compliant with international law, or are older than the use of digital ID systems and trust services such as electronic signatures. An in-depth assessment (e.g. using IDEAE) during the planning phase will help identify areas where the legal framework may need to be amended or updated. In order to create the necessary legal and regulatory framework conditions for the next phases of the energy transition, the federal government adopted three laws in particular in the summer of 2016. In view of the current lack of grid infrastructure and the huge investments that will have to be made to implement all the measures outlined in the network development plan, as well as the increasing costs of integrating renewable energy, the publication of the Law on Renewable Energy Sources in 2017 aims to increase more closely the expansion of renewable energy sources and the expansion of the grid and to submit calls offers for renewable energy projects at the lowest cost (instead of fixed tariffs per renewable energy technology).

The new electricity market law not only introduces the above-mentioned capacity reserve as a contribution to system adequacy, but also aims to initiate competition between flexible generation, flexible demand and storage. In addition, current spot price limits will be removed to allow for a business case for new advanced technologies. Finally, a new law on digitalisation has framed the (still limited) deployment of smart meters for variable electricity tariffs as well as for data security [2]. In order to have an impact on programme outcomes, public procurement needs to be coherent with other key functions, in particular the programme responsible for resource mobilisation and service delivery, as well as the regulatory role of health care (NRA) and bodies responsible for financing health activities (MoF). Each of these functions will operate within a framework that will determine (1) the principles followed, (2) the necessary policies and regulations, (3) the guidelines provided to institutions and individuals, (4) the standard documents and SOPs applicable at the operational level, and (5) the human resources competencies required at all levels. As an assessment methodology, the Global CCS Institute indicator uses a comparison between different models and contrasts national circumstances to determine the scope of a single structural legal and regulatory responsibility for the implementation of CCUS projects. The WHO GBT aims to assess how regulatory systems compare to WHO standards for regulatory functions and covers the range of activities and governance framework. The GBT assessment easily addresses the integration of regulatory functions into other sectoral activities (such as public procurement) and refers to the alignment of pharmaceutical policy with health policy and dependence on regulatory decisions. The above requirements apply to new facilities, but some existing facilities have not been developed to such standards and, in such cases, their safety must be verified to verify compliance with the requirements.

Safety-related upgrades shall be carried out by the operator in accordance with national guidelines and the requirements of the regulatory authority. Legal frameworks provide the basis for credible elections and the protection of individual political rights. However, electoral laws and rules are often unclear, contradictory, outdated, unworkable in practice or politically manipulable. IFES supports the development of clear, coherent and accessible legal frameworks for elections, while promoting effective law enforcement and enforcement. Australia`s 2010/2011 legal and regulatory framework for onshore and offshore CCS is one of the most comprehensive. He defined the state and federal agency for managing CCS activities and established the CCS Working Group as an interstate body to ensure regulatory consistency among state governments. As the legal framework for elections includes a wide range of international instruments, laws, regulations, regulations, procedures, decrees and national court decisions, IFES has developed a robust approach that can quickly and holistically identify gaps and inconsistencies in legal and regulatory frameworks and their implementation. Even the best electoral legal framework will be of little use in promoting democratic governance if it is not properly implemented and enforced. IFES`s tools and expertise provide legislators, governments, electoral management bodies and other stakeholders with options for clear and effective constitutional and legal reforms, as well as to improve the impartiality, transparency, accountability and integrity of elections – and the institutions that run them.
