Grants reduce the probability of poor countries experiencing debt distress. As we are seeing in the cases of Niger and Ethiopia, countries’ debt levels remain at unsustainable levels, despite HIPC [Heavily Indebted Poor Countries] debt relief and additional "topping-up" assistance. Grants free up scarce public resources, which would otherwise have been used to pay off outstanding loan commitments. These resources can be used to fund the kind of productive investments... such as infrastructure improvements and agricultural programs, which contribute to economic growth and poverty reduction. 2, record 2, English, - topping%2Dup%20debt%20relief

Pour les pays qui ont atteint le point d'achèvement, mais continuent d'être surendettés en raison de facteurs exogènes, la communauté internationale peut envisager d'accorder un allègement de dette complémentaire («topping-up») à titre exceptionnel, au-delà du montant engagé au point de décision. 5, record 2, French, - all%C3%A8gement%20de%20dette%20compl%C3%A9mentaire

Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Fish and fish products imported into Canada are inspected to prevent the marketing of unsafe, unwholesome or mislabled products. Increased inspection effort is directed at foreign processors which have demonstrated a history of poor compliance with Canadian standards. The costs of the Import Inspection Program are partially recovered. Importers must obtain an import licence and are also required to pay an inspection services fee for each shipment of fish imported plus examination fees for products that have a history of non-compliance. 1, record 7, English, - Import%20Inspection%20Program

Pêches et Océans Canada. Le poisson et les produits du poisson importés au Canada sont inspectés afin de prévenir la commercialisation de produits malsains, présentant des dangers pour la santé ou étiquetés incorrectement. Aux Services d'inspection, on oriente une plus grande partie des efforts sur les transformateurs étrangers qui ont déjà enfreint les normes canadiennes. Le recouvrement des coûts du Programme d'inspection des importations est assuré en partie. Les importateurs doivent obtenir un permis d'importation et ils sont également tenus de payer les coûts des services d'inspection pour chaque envoi de poisson importé, auxquels s'ajoutent les frais d'examen des produits qui ont déjà posé un problème. 1, record 7, French, - Programme%20d%27inspection%20des%20importations
