Eastern Europe and Central Asia saw reform in 10 economies. Six reduced the running-around time for entrepreneurs by creating one-stop shops. Albania took registration out of the courts and merged company, social security, labor and tax registrations. Before, entrepreneurs had to wait more than a month to start doing business; now it's just 8 days. Azerbaijan's one-stop shop reduced delays by 2 weeks, Slovenia's by 6. Bulgaria, the Kyrgyz Republic and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia undertook reforms similar to Azerbaijan's. And while Czech entrepreneurs still have to obtain multiple documents, the new "Project Czech Point" allows them to do so at one place. Lebanon and Oman improved the efficiency of their one-stop shops. What used to take 46 days in Lebanon now takes 11. Tun...

Kyrgyz reformers didn't stop there. A presidential decree eliminated the location permit, which had required the signature of Bishkek's mayor and took 60 days to obtain. "It used to be a nightmare. You never knew what additional papers would be required," says Bekbolot, owner of a medium-size construction company. The mayor's office no longer handles occupancy permits either. "It took me 6 months before the reforms, and I still could not obtain the mayor's signature. After the reforms, it took me just over a week to get my occupancy permit signed and sealed. Burkina Faso, once among the bottom 10 on the ease of , was the second fastest reformer. A multifaceted reform program cut 12 days and reduced the cost by 25%. To start, a government decree limited ...

This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding to the Entity List two persons who have been determined by the U.S. Government to be acting contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States. These persons will be listed on the Entity List under the country of France. This rule also amends the Entity List on the basis of the annual review of the Entity List conducted by the End-User Review Committee (ERC). The ERC conducts the annual review to determine if any entries on the Entity List should be removed or modified. This rule reflects the results of the ERC's annual review of fifteen countries, i.e. Armenia, Belarus, Egypt, Germany, Iran, Ireland, Israel, Kuwait, Lebanon, Norway, Russia, South Korea, Syria, the United Arab Emirates...

The power of social media tools like Twitter and Facebook to fan the flames of upheaval along the Nile must keep potential dictators up late at night. The Mubarak government's ham-fisted order to cut off Egypt's electronic access to the outside world on Jan. 27 is a potent reminder of how deeply strongmen resent the freedom of speech the Internet embodies. Although service was restored Wednesday, Egypt's response to troublesome tweets is not so foreign. A number of schemes are in the works to grant U.S. leaders similar powers in the name of fairness and safety. Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, Connecticut Independent, introduced legislation last session that would have given a White House cyberczar Mubarak-like power to declare an emergency and issue directives to any private companies deemed ...

Rankings on the ease of doing business do not tell the whole story about an economy's business environment. Lhe indicator does not account for all factors important for doing business- for example, macroeconomic conditions, infrastructure, workforce skills or security. But improvement in an economy's ranking does indicate that its government is creating a regulatory environment more conducive to operating a business. In Eastern Europe and Central Asia many economies continue to do so- and economies in the region once again dominate the list of top Doing Business reformers in 2007/08. New this year: reforms in the region are moving eastward as 4 newcomers join the top 10 list of reformers: Azerbaijan, Albania, the Kyrgyz Republic and Belarus (table 1.1).

The top performers on the ease of continually consult export businesses on how to make trading easier (table 9.1). In Denmark, for example, 3 main trade documents (bill of lading, commercial invoice and customs declaration) suffice to cover most trade transactions. And these are transmitted online. Traders can begin the clearance process before goods arrive at the port. Because risk-based inspections apply, only about 2% of cargo is physically inspected. It takes only 5 days for goods to leave the factory, clear customs and be on a vessel heading to its destination. Botswana licensed more customs brokers, spurring competition and leading to lower customs brokerage fees. Liberia cut the customs administrative fee from 3% of the cargo value to 1.5%. Kenya extended p...
