Gee Vaucher is a visual artist, born in 1945 in Dagenham, England. Vaucher met her long-lasting creative partner Penny Rimbaud in the early 1960s when both were attending the South-East Essex Technical College and School of Art. In 1967, inspired by the film Inn of the Sixth Happiness, they set up the anarchist/pacifist open house Dial House in Essex, UK, which has now become established as a'centre for radical creativity', her work with anarcho-punk band Crass was seminal to the'protest art' of the 1980s. Vaucher has always seen her work as a tool for social change, has expressed her strong anarcho-pacifist and feminist views in her paintings and collages. Vaucher uses surrealist styles and methods. Vaucher is vegetarian. In her second book, Animal Rites, she gives a commentary on the relationship between animals and humans, centered on the quote "All humans are animal, but some animals are more human than others." In the foreword to her 1999 retrospective collection Crass Art and Other Pre Post-Modernist Monsters, Ian Dury writes: "In its original form, Gee's work is intricate and tactile, while the imagery is sometimes overwhelming, the primary concerns are those of a painter.

Mere newsprint would hardly do justice to its subtle tones. When the work is printed, the space becomes more simple and the graphic images take on a different life; the concerns are those of delivery, the message is clear." She continues to design sleeves for Babel Label, designed the sleeve for The Charlatans' Who We Touch album. Vaucher has exhibited at the 96 Gillespie gallery in London. In 2007 and 2008 the Jack Hanley Gallery in San Francisco and Track 16 in Santa Monica ran exhibitions entitled "Gee Vaucher: Introspective", showing a wide selection of Vaucher's work. Vaucher's film Gower Boy, made in collaboration with pianist Huw Warren, debuted at the 14th Raindance Film Festival in London in October 2006. In 2016, Vaucher was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Essex; the day after Donald Trump's election victory in November 2016, the British Daily Mirror newspaper featured Vaucher's 1989 painting Oh America on its front page. Vaucher has kept her real name a secret.

The Department of Industry and Commerce was an Australian government department that existed between December 1984 and March 1993. The Department was created by the Hawke Government in December 1984, a substantial expansion of the previous Department of Industry and Commerce. Hawke reasoned that including responsibility for technology and civil offsets in the new Department would enable better integration of Australia's industry and technology policies and would increase the competitiveness of Australian industry stimulating growth and employment opportunities. Information about the department's functions and/or government funding allocation could be found in the Administrative Arrangements Orders, the annual Portfolio Budget Statements and in the Department's annual reports. According to the Administrative Arrangements Order made on 13 December 1984, the Department dealt with: Manufacturing and Commerce Technology and industrial research and development Small business Duties of customs and excise Bounties on the production or export of goods Offsets, to the extent not dealt with by the Department of Defence The Department was an Australian Public Service department, staffed by officials who were responsible to the Minister for Industry and Commerce.

The Minister was John Button. From 13 December 1984 to 12 March 1985, the Secretary of the Department was Tom Hayes. Hayes left the department in 1985 to become Comptroller-General of the Australian Customs Service, taken out of the department and established as a separate statutory authority. From 13 March 1985 to 30 June 1990, the Secretary was David Charles; the third Secretary of the department was Malcolm McIntosh, from 1 July 1990 to 22 December 1990. Neville Stevens was appointed the department's fourth and final secretary in December 1990

Iran submitted an application to join the World Trade Organization on 19 July 1996. From July 1996 to May 2001, Iran’s application had not been considered as a result of US objections and the US veto power in the WTO Council. From May 2001 Iran’s application for WTO membership has been brought up 22 times. At the 22nd time, on 26 May 2005, Iran’s application for WTO membership was approved unanimously by the organization’s members, thus the process of Iran’s membership in the WTO started. Once Iran’s application was accepted and examined by WTO General Council, Iran became WTO observer member and started the process of full membership in the organization. In November 2009 Iran submitted the Foreign Trade Regime Memorandum as the process of accession entered a new phase; the Ministry of Commerce is in charge of managing the process of accession to the WTO. The next step includes setting-up and meetings of the WTO working party, which include protracted negotiations on a range of economic issues.

Iran will join WTO as a full member only at the conclusion of this multi-year process and the implementation of the Iranian Economic Reform Plan. 1 New updated memorandum to be submitted by 2017. Iran has an observer status at the World Trade Organization since 2005; the United States has blocked Iran's bid to join the WTO since Tehran first asked for membership several years ago. Iran has allocated $20 billion in loans to launch 20 trade centers in other countries. Iran had trade ties with 150 countries in 2011 with 80 countries transiting their products through Iran; the WTO in its report "World Trade 2011" has praised Iran’s export growth in 2011, noting that while world trade expanded in 2011 by only 5 percent, Iran’s exports raised more than 30 percent. According to the report, Iran exported more than 131 billion dollars of merchandise in 2011, ranking as the 23rd biggest exporter in the world; the country’s exports in 2010 stood at 101 billion dollars, the report further said. In 2011, Iran’s non-oil exports stood at USD 48.5 billion and are expected to reach USD 70 billion by 2013.

Iran's non-oil exports increased over 500% in between 2005 and 2011. Iran's main non-oil exports are petroleum gases, liquefied gas hydrocarbons, liquefied propane, mineral fuels, chemical products, fruits, nuts and carpets. Iran is hoping to attract billions of dollars' worth of foreign investment while creating a more favorable investment climate, such as reduced restrictions and duties on imports and the creation of free trade zones like in Qeshm and Kish Island; the lack of financial transparency and accountability into Iran’s inner economic workings empowers and supports the IRGC’s many illicit activities, as well as its control of a shadow economy. But there are arguments that the IRGC should harness, rather than resist, with the question of World Trade Organization accession emerging as a key point of debate in Iran. Iran's government has not agreed to be bound by WTO copyright laws, endorsing the free distribution of unlicensed software in massive quantities. Linux reproducible in countries with strong Intellectual Property laws, is growing in popularity within Iran, however.

Iran may change this status if and when it becomes a full member of WTO, as WTO members are encouraged to abide by WTO copyright regulations. However, the United States has vetoed Iran's ascension to the WTO 22 times, as of 2007 refuses to support Iran's full membership in the WTO. Thus, as a matter of reciprocity, Iran has determined that its interests are not served by observing WTO copyright treaties, has thus exercised its sovereign right not to alter its laws, thereby making certain foreign copyrights unenforced by Iranian authorities, in theory, or in practice. Yet, if Iran does gain membership status in the WTO, among other prerequisites, copyright laws will have to be obeyed in Iran; this would require a major overhaul of trade operations in Iran. Iranian pharmaceutical manufacturers are disadvantaged by the government's poor intellectual property protection regime. Developing a molecule for combination therapies may qualify for patent protection in other countries. However, while weak patent law adherence continues in Iran, it is expected this will create significant barriers for Iranian companies prospecting trade on the global market.
