...1. In the Central Hudson Case, Judge Powell summarized that this case presents the question whether a regulation of the Public Service Commission of the State of New York violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments because it completely bans promotional advertising by an electrical utility, 447 U.S. 557, which is closely related to the tobacco cases. Several opinions presented by Judge Powell can apply in these cases. First, in applying the First Amendment to this area, Judge Powell rejected the “highly paternalistic” view that government has complete power to suppress or regulate commercial speech. Second, the Judge also believed that if the communication is neither misleading nor related to unlawful activity, the government’s power is more restricted. The government agency must assert a substantial interest to be achieved by restrictions on commercial speech. Moreover, the regulatory technique must be in proportion to that interest. Furthermore, the Central Hudson case set the standards as for whether a governmental restriction on speech is constitutionally admissible. It also provided several tests as for whether the restriction is constitutionally admissible. The Central Hudson case, as a key precedent, also developed a four-part analysis for similar cases. a) Determine whether the expression is protected by the First Amendment. For commercial speech to come within that provision, it at least must concern lawful activity and not be misleading. b) Examine whether the...

...US Senators' veiled threat over GSP makes BD exporters edgy The exporters enjoying GSP facilities from the US market have expressed their worries over the recent move by the US Senators to review the special facilities for Bangladesh on grounds of labour related 'disagreements'. Not only the GSP beneficiaries, other exporters have also found the US lawmakers' plea alarming for the country's overall export sector. The GSP (Generalised System of Preferences) is the facility that allows duty-free export from a country. The US is the single-largest destination for the Bangladesh-made products. The country exported products worth $4.87 billion in 2011, while its export under GSP was $26.3 million led by tobacco products, frozen fish, furniture, ceramic and plastic products. About 95 per cent of Bangladeshi products being exported to the US market now enjoy duty-free access, less than one per cent of the country's total exports, that exclude RMG, leather and jute and jute goods. "Though the volume of plastic products' export to the US market is not very high, it is a potential market for us," president of Bangladesh Plastic Goods Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BPGMEA) Md Jashim Uddin told the FE. The US is one of the targeted markets for plastic products' export, which is also gradually increasing, he said adding the retail stores are showing interest in Bangladesh-made plastic products, especially the household ones. "If Bangladesh is taken out of...
