In accordance with Article 2 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3974/86 of 22 December 1986 relating to the rationalization and improvement of hygiene conditions in the slaughterhouse sector in Belgium (3), an amount of ECU 20 million is available for three years. In the 1989 budget for these two Regulations, a total of ECU 320 million are provided, of which ECU 288,6 million are for agricultural projects to which has been added an amount of ECU 31 million of recovered monies. The Commission has awarded, in the first tranche 1989, to 511 requests for assistance (4) a sum of around ECU 176,2 million. In accordance with Article 13 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77, 2 399 agricultural projects applications have been made before the 1 May 1989 by the intermediary of Member States, or carried over from 1988; 33 have been withdrawn or cancelled. Of the 2366 requests for granting remaining, four have been considered as not being eligible for an award as they did not meet the form of requirements of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 for one or other of the following reasons: — the products were not included in Annex II of the Treaty, — the projects did not contribute to the improvement of market structures for agricultural products, — the projects did not enter the field of application of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77. These facts have been notified to the respective applicants, and to the relevant Member States. Of the 2 362 requests considered as eligible, the Commission has decided not to consider for award of grant from the fund six projects which were the object of one application because they did not conform with the selection criteria of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77. The Commission decisions of refusal have been notified to the respective Member States and also to the applicants.

The remaining 1 845 applications represent a total request for aid of about ECU 820 million. (*) OJ No L 51, 23. 2. 1977, p. 1. (2) OJ No L 374, 31. 12. 1988, p. 25.

  • Inscribed Silver Plate from Tomb Ii at Vergina 337
    hesperia yy (2008) INSCRIBED SILVER PLATE p*ges 335~358 FROM TOMB II AT VERGINA Chronological Implications ABSTRACT Five items of silver plate from tomb II at Vergina are inscribed with their ancient weights. The inscriptions, using the acrophonic and alphabetic systems, suggest that the pieces were made to a drachmaweight of ca. 4.2 g. This weight of drachmawas introducedto Macedoniaby Alexanderthe Great and does not appearto have been used by Philip II. The inscriptions on the silver add to the cumulative evidence provided by the cremated remains, black-gloss saltcellars,and iconographyof the lion-hunt frieze that tomb II was the final resting place not of Philip II, but of Philip III Arrhidaios and Adea Eurydike. The excavationsby Manolis Andronikosat Vergina,the likely site of Aigai, have providedsubstantial evidence for the burialsof membersof the Macedonianroyal family.1The wealth that has emergedfrom the excavationof tomb II, the so-calledTomb of Philip II that lay beneath the GreatTumulus at Vergina,has been awe-inspiring.The gold larnax, ivory-decoratedcouch, gold-decorated purple cloth, and silverplate point - - to the burialof an individualof high and surelyroyal statusin Mace- doniansociety.

Los términos municipales implicados en el área, delimitada en la introducción, se relacionan en la tabla 1. En el mapa 1 se localiza la zona, señalando una serie de municipios de referencia. Las flechas muestran la procedencia del ganado desde las zonas de agostada al invernadero de Sierra Morena Oriental. 2.1.2. Relieve y geología Sierra Morena constituye el reborde meridional erosionado del zócalo de la penillanura central. Su formación fue consecuencia del hundimiento del zócalo de la Meseta en la Depresión Bética a partir del Mesozoico. Más tarde, durante el Plioceno, hubo un levantamiento del viejo macizo hercínico que puso en marcha una acusada erosión fluvial y, con ella, la desaparición de los materiales del Triásico y del Mioceno. En algunos lugares, este levantamiento motivó la aparición de grandes fallas como la del Guadalquivir, que ocasionaron la captura de afluentes antes pertenecientes a la cuenca del Guadiana (Grupo ERA, 1980). Los materiales que aparecen en Sierra Morena son fundamentalmente cuarcitas, con intercataciones de gneises y pizarras del Cámbrico, y algunos restos devónicos y carboníferos.

  • Figuera De Martos”: Historia Y Fuentes
    LOS ORÍGENES MEDIEVALES DEL LUGAR DE LA “FIGUERA DE MARTOS”: HISTORIA Y FUENTES José Carlos Gutiérrez Pérez* Resumen: La actual población de Higuera de Calatrava (antaño llamada Figuera de Martos) es uno de los lugares de la provincia de Jaén históricamente más desconocidos. Ese desconocimiento arranca desde el propio origen del pueblo que sigue siendo una incógnita. En el presente trabajo intentaremos ofrecer una hipótesis sobre cuál pudo ser su origen bajomedieval y cómo funcionaban los ámbitos político, social, económico, etc., en esta población de la Campiña de Jaén. Abstract: Actually, Higuera de Calatrava (in olden times Figuera de Martos) is a town of the province of Jaen, historically, more unknowns. This ignorance begins since the origin of this town whose past is unknown. In this article I offer a hypothesis about which was its medieval origin and how the fields political, social, economic, etc., worked in this village of the countryside of Jaen. 1. LA ORDEN DE CALATRAVA EN MARTOS Tras la batalla de las Navas de Tolosa (1212), la expansión del reino de Castilla por el Valle del Guadalquivir fue muy rápida. Esa rapidez se debió al clima de conflictos internos dentro del califato almohade. Unos conflictos que fueron aprovechados por el rey de Castilla para expandir sus territorios por tierras andaluzas. * Licenciado en Humanidades y DEA en Historia Medieval.

    Advance press kit Exhibition From October 13, 2011 to January 16, 2012 Napoleon Hall In the Kingdom of Alexander the Great Ancient Macedonia Contents Press release page 3 Map of main sites page 9 Exhibition walk-through page 10 Images available for the press page 12 Press release In the Kingdom of Alexander the Great Exhibition Ancient Macedonia October 13, 2011–January 16, 2012 Napoleon Hall This exhibition curated by a Greek and French team of specialists brings together five hundred works tracing the history of ancient Macedonia from the fifteenth century B.C. up to the Roman Empire. Visitors are invited to explore the rich artistic heritage of northern Greece, many of whose treasures are still little known to the general public, due to the relatively recent nature of archaeological discoveries in this area. It was not until 1977, when several royal sepulchral monuments were unearthed at Vergina, among them the unopened tomb of Philip II, Alexander the Great’s father, that the full archaeological potential of this region was realized. Further excavations at this prestigious site, now identified with Aegae, the first capital of ancient Macedonia, resulted in a number of other important discoveries, including a puzzling burial site revealed in 2008, which will in all likelihood entail revisions in our knowledge of ancient history. With shrewd political skill, ancient Macedonia’s rulers, of whom Alexander the Great remains the best known, orchestrated the rise of Macedon from a small kingdom into one which came to dominate the entire Hellenic world, before defeating the Persian Empire and conquering lands as far away as India.
