In the case of the seller withdrawing instructions to the Auctioneer to sell any lot or lots, the Auctioneer may charge the seller a fee of 12. Since becoming a member in 1973, the United Kingdom has negotiated opt-outs on key parts of EU legislation, and a sizeable rebate from the EU annual budget. These results are evidence that views about the future of the EU are not simply based on affective feelings, but are shaped independently in ways that deserve further analysis in the final part of this chapter. Unlike other companies in the sector, we work with the latest digital printing technology and produce on demand, that is, each product is produced especially for you when you ask for it, which allows us to maintain a quality standard far superior to mass printing. The UK is not the only country to which EU legislation selectively applies, but – with exceptions in four key areas – it is the member state with the most opt-outs.

This combination means that your Map is guaranteed to pass or exceed museum quality standards, thus representing a genuine investment to grace your home or office, that you can rest assured will be admired and enjoyed long into the future. The maps in the Map Collections materials were either published prior to 1922, produced by the United States government, or both (see catalogue records that accompany each map for information regarding date of publication and source). A somewhat more indirect way to assess how national elites view the supranational polity is to examine their perceptions of the potential impact upon the cohesion of Europe of a number of challenges that the Union is facing from different directions (Table 2.With regard to four possible directions of evolution of the EU (‘greater aid to regions in difficulty’, ‘a single foreign policy’, ‘a common system of social security’, and a ‘unified tax system’) answers are positive for the majority of both political and economic elites (Table 2. This now quite rare process produces a beautiful randomly textured sheet of paper that imparts the very feel of an old document.

Is this somewhat sceptical (but fundamentally realistic) reading of the effects of the European representative process matched by a position of distrust vis-à-vis European institutions? In the survey instrument, this question was worded somewhat differently from the others and the choice offered to respondents was only between a purely national, a purely European, and a mixed solution. Vuillemin's most important work is his detailed, highly decorative large format Atlas de Géographie Commerciale et Industrielle, which this map is a part of. Using the highest levels of precision available, the process delivers a fine stream of ink in 12 separate colours to saturate the fibres of our specially sourced 190gsm paper.

The other threats mentioned, which are linked to external factors, were important for a more limited number of politicians. Behind the averages, however, one can detect a somewhat more polarized distribution in their views about national institutions: the levels of distrust for national parliament and national government are considerably higher than those for the corresponding European institutions. When we shift from the national to the European landscape, the citizenship system and its dynamics are necessarily more complex. In the case of miscellaneous books, maps and other items, the Auctioneer reserves the right to extract and dispose of items that, in the opinion of the Auctioneer at his absolute discretion, have no saleable value and, therefore, might detract from the saleability of the rest of the lot and the Auctioneer shall incur no liability to the seller in respect of the items disposed of.

We invest in the finest quality inks which result in colours remaining accurate (the archival period) for some 100 years or more. Die folgenden Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen gelten für alle Geschäftsbeziehungen zwischen uns und unseren Kunden. Frobisher believed he had found the Friesland of the Zeno Brothers, but Blaeu has depicted it as a separate entity. To help us with this matter, there are a number of questions in the IntUne survey that can provide detailed information about how national elites would prefer to allocate some of the crucial policy fields between the different levels of authority existing in Europe. The second aspect related to the position of national elites on the horizontal dimension of citizenship concerns the meanings that national elites assign to European citizenship as a ‘community bond’.We must now explore what is the (accepted/preferred) scope of activity of this supranational level of ‘membership’ which parallels and complements the national one. Ireland, Denmark and the Czech Republic have received opt-outs, sometimes de facto and not de jure," he said. Nevertheless, they are slightly more in favour of a unified tax system (probably perceived as an instrument of economic simplification) and of a common foreign policy (with obvious spillover into trade matters). If we enquire about the extent to which threat perceptions are linked to one another, a principal component analysis (Table 2.
