to be submitted July 14. The guidelines, developed by the Federal Trade Commission, Agriculture Department, Food and Drug Administration and the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, are designed to encourage more self-regulation in the food industry, and also to support parents' own efforts to enforce a healthier lifestyle among their children, the FTC said. Congress ordered the agencies to begin working on these guidelines in 2009, led by former Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Ks.) and Sen. Tom Harking (D-Iowa). The guidelines state that advertising and marketing should encourage the kids they are targeting to choose foods that include vegetables, fruit, whole grains, fat-free or low-fat milk products, fish, extra lean meat and poultry, eggs, nuts, seeds and beans, according to the FTC. The guidelines should be met over the next five years, the commission said. Dr. Glen Kashurba, of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, said that while the move may be well-meaning, it may not have much impact on the younger group it is targeting. "I don't think six-year-olds have a tremendous amount of impact on what their moms and dads buy them," Kashurba said. "The biggest impact is on teens that have discretionary income and can go buy what they want." Less advertising doesn't necessarily mean less desire for the children eithquipment makers gained sharply as investors anticipated the accelerated nuclear phase-out will result in faster expansion of alternative and greener energy sources. Shares in solar cell makers Q-Cells SE (QCE.XE) and SolarWorld AG (SWV.XE), as well as wind turbine maker Nordex SE (NDX1.XE), closed the trading session sharply higher, posting gains of 8.5%, 8.8% and 13.3% respectively On Sunday night, Environment Minister Norbert Roettgen announced to reporters following a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel that Germany would end the use of nuclear energy by 2022 at the very latest. The country's seven oldest nuclear reactors, which have been shut down since mid-March, will never resume power generation, the government said. An eighth power plant--the 1.4-gigawatt reactor Kruemmel that has been glitch-prone and offline for the best part of three years--will also be shut down permanently. In 2010, nuclear reactors accounted for around 23% of Germany's power production, making them the second largest contributor to overall output behind lignite-fired power plants. Roettgen also said the government plans to keep the new tax on nuclear fuel rods that was introduced at the beginning of the year. The tax is expected to generate proceeds of around EUR2.3 billion per year and was officially introduced to help plug public budget holes. Many observers, however, have also linked the tax to the extension of reactor operating lives, for which the power plant operators had to make several concessions. RWE and E.ON have threatened in recent weeks that they are considering to sue the government over the levy, particularly if the extension of reactor lives were to be retracted while the tax remains untouched. In a separate a case, RWE
