TOKYO, Feb. 27 (Xinhua) -- Members of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) began talks on Monday on a variety of issues including the possibility of creating a substantial regional free trade economic zone, in the first such talks since the United States ditched the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) under President Donald Trump.
The latest meeting held in Japan's port city of Kobe, on the north shore of Osaka Bay, brought together 16 Asia-Pacific nations, comprising the 10 Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) members, as well as Australia, China, India, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea, with agreements already made on economic and technological cooperation.
With the United States looking to direct itself toward securing more bilateral rather than multilateral or free trade deals, the senior RCEP officials are keen to come to a general consensus on issues of tariffs in the new economic zone, as well as how major economies can support developing ones.
Other issues tabled for discussion between the senior officials in talks here through Friday, include the "13 Fields," which comprise universal rules on investment and e-commerce, as well as the elimination or significant reduction of certain trade tariffs.
Iman Pambagyo, director general of international trade negotiations at Indonesia's Trade Ministry, in his role as chair of the meeting in Kobe, said that the current talks are key to establishing free trade deals in the region and boosting broader global growth.
If RCEP's fundamental premise comes to fruition, economists believe that the new economic zone could account for about 30 percent of the world's gross domestic product, even without the support of the United States.
RCEP member countries, as pointed out by proponents of the initiative, collectively, have a significant economic clout, with member countries accounting for almost 20 percent of U.S. goods imports in 2016.
While there remains some issues regarding the scope of the tariffs to be reduced or eliminated between some member countries, the talks are garnering a great deal of attention since the U.S. abruptly ditched the TPP, with major economies in this region keen to secure fair and balanced, high-level trade liberalization that benefits all member nations.
"Like the TPP, Japan is aiming for high quality agreements in the RCEP talks," Economy, Trade and Industry Minister Hiroshige Seko said on Monday, with regard to tariffs and arriving at agreeable solutions on a number of rules including, for example, on intellectual property protection.
The first round of RCEP negotiations took place in 2013, yet while the negotiations have hit some stumbling blocks in the past, the 16 nations' senior officials, this time around, have resolved to conclude the talks as soon as possible.
While most hunters tend to think the biggest bucks are to be found in the farthest reaches of the wilderness areas Raphael Varane World Cup Jersey , many are realizing that the deer they were after might have been right there at home all along.
Of course it is true that unhunted places harboring really big bucks do exist in some of the less accessible, out country areas. These places become less and less of a haven each season as the motorized hunter enters the wilderness.
Many a buck has crouched low to watch the ATV go by and gone back to the normal routine after the noisy intrusion passed by.
A stand of pines, a blackberry thicket, or a honeysuckle thicket right behind a house which is cut off from the rest of the woodlands by a cow field or other fields is ideal for deer.
You might find big bucks next to urban areas in the most unexpected places. These bucks have chosen these places to hide from hunters. There are fewer natural predators here also. Here they feel safer. The sounds of farm activity intrigue them. They like to keep tabs on the enemy. Regular activity is unalarming. Some like music and will take up residence near a regularly played radio. Although dogs can be a formidable enemy to deer, deer might feel more at ease bedded down near dogs they know won t bother them. These dogs will keep other dogs away.
Campfire stories at any deer camp will eventually include some story about a deer being encountered in an unsuspected, nearby place. An example is one I heard about a farmer who headed off in early morning to the wilderness in search of a buck. When he returned worn out and empty handed, his wife said, You should have stayed at home; that old buck got his horns stuck in the cow feeder.
WATERHOLES
During periods of drought, watering places are choice places to hunt. They are not the best selection when water is plentiful. Wounded or sick deer will go to water often, but healthy deer can do without it awhile, finding needed moisture in vegetation or snow.
Deer have definite water preferences and are quite choosy about what they drink when they can be. A mineral spring is the choice type of water source. A valley spring is ideal for a stand. The minerals found in these sources make the antlers large and firm, a fact which the bucks seem to instinctively know. Big bucks will frequent such places just as body builders go for protein supplements to health food stores. Deer prefer sulphurous water to clear water. Water can be quite dingy in appearance yet be delightful to deer.
Deer do not hang around ponds, lakes, streams, or waterholes long because of the steady animal traffic to these locations. Does searching for bucks or vice versa may prove an exception to this rule, but if they do hang around they will be concealed and on the alert with choice escape routes handy. Generally they just drink and leave. All the predators frequent the water, so any deer here exhibit an unmistakable wariness. Their ears move endlessly, and they spend several mi.
