In its scope as well as its approach, the research “Mapping of the Public Services” is the first of its kind; SGIs have not been studied at such a level before. This research aims to provide up-to-date key information on enterprises providing SGIs in Europe. As such, this report is an important source of information for the development of knowledge of industrial relations in Europe. With this report, we provide an overview of key information such as the size of the various “sectors” or their contribution in the total economy. We also answer questions relating to the structure of SGIs, their market and ownership at national level, etc. This research “Mapping of the Public Services” cannot be treated as an evaluation of SGIs’ performance or of the public polices of Europeanisation or liberalisation impact2. Such an evaluation is based on specific objectives and methodologies. A good knowledge of the situation is no doubt a prerequisite for a scientifically based evaluation. Already in the title of our research, we are confronted with one of the key issues. As our study covers the European Union as a whole and its 27 Member States, we must begin by clarifying the question of the meaning and scope of the expression “Public services”. Firstly, the title uses the English language and should therefore be considered first from the perspective of its meaning in the United Kingdom. First difficulty: the British use the expression either as singular concept – “Public service” equivalent to the concept of “Civil Service”, which means essentially the administration and the civil servants, or as a plural concept “Public Services”, which refers to the various services provided to citizens by local authorities, cen- tral government, health care, education, policing, etc. The British also use the expression “Public Utilities”, which corresponds to the major network services (gas, electricity, water and wastewater, post and telecom- munications), but does not have a genuine explanatory value [Moderne-Marcou, 2001]. The concept of “public (1) In this research, we use the concept of Europeanisation as the progressive transition from the national traditional framework of definition and organisation of SGIs/Public Services to the Community level. (2) See the CEEP and CIRIEC Report for European Commission, Performance Evaluation of Services of General Economic Interest , in Services of General Economic Interest in Europe, November 2000. 8 services” is well developed at political level and in administrative sciences but legally “it is almost the legal vacuum” [Bell-Kennedy, 2001; Moderne-Marcou, 2001], in the sense that this concept is not a transversal notion which aims to structure the law and jurisprudence. It is the legislator’s competence to recognise in concrete terms the activities concerned, their creation and their regulation [Mangenot, 2005]. The law tries to ensure the quality of the service and the protection of the consumers. Other Common law countries, the countries of Northern Europe (Sweden, Finland, Denmark) and the Nether- lands, have not adopted a legal definition of “Public Services”, based on the legislative intervention [Mangenot, 2005]. There is no equivalent concept of “Public Services” in Sweden and Finland, even if these countries are considered as typical examples of Welfare State thanks to a very active social policy and a relative autonomy of public law developed in both countries [Modeen, 2001]. The second challenge we faced is the fact that we cannot establish a univocal glossary seting up the exact equivalent of “Public Services” in all 23 official languages of the EU and each Member State. In this field, each language refers to national histories, cultures, traditions, identities, etc., on the basis of which a national vocabulary, sometimes a specific doctrine has been developed: “public services”, “public service”, “public utilities”, “service public”, “öffentliche Dienstleistungen”, “öffentlicher Dienst”3, “Daseinsvorsorge”, etc., terms that cover various concepts

    KA1 – MOBILITY OF YOUTH WORKERS 2019-2-EL02-KA105-005118 TRAINING COURSE “European Values Equalizers” Trikala, Greece 25 Aug – 3 Sep 2021 ABOUT THE PROJECT The project "European Values Equalizers" is a residential Training Course that will take place in the city of Trikala, Greece, between 25 August to 3 September 2021, with the participation of 10 partner organizations from Greece, Croatia, Italy, North Macedonia, Serbia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Belarus, Armenia, Georgia and Ukraine. The project will include 30 youth workers and youth leaders (3 participants per country), 2 trainers and 2 support staff. SUMMARY In today’s society very often we are dealing with the discussions about what are European values, what defines us as Europeans, do we talk about values which are practiced and respected only in European Union or in Europe in general? As this is the topic which is very often and which very often confuse young people but also about which we don’t care enough, especially today in time of globalization. If we take a look in knowledge which young people are gaining through the formal education in their schools and universities, mostly they don’t even mention European values as something on what we should pay attention and something what we should promote and use in our everyday life. On the other side, if we open media articles today, we will find a lot of significant titles related with discrimination, radicalization and violence of human rights all around the world. If we start to work with young people on education about European values and promotion of European values such as tolerance, respect of human rights, antidiscrimination, equality, democracy and rule of law, we are sure that we can prevent youth radicalization, discrimination and violence of human rights but also we can take part in creation of better future of our common European society.

  • 1869.] Local Government Acts Extension. 97 Rick Were Last Year
    1869.] Local Government Acts Extension. 97 rick were last year successfully brought under its operations, and as its provisions are better understood, I am confident they will be more generally applied. I do not see any very important distinction between the deepening of a lengthened river course and the construc- tion of a tramway or a railway extension, as far as parliamentary powers are concerned. I have been one of those who confidently asserted many years ago, as I do now, that railways should, in the advance of civilization and scientific improvement, be regarded as nothing more than common highways, differing from them only in cost and carefulness of construction, and the exclusive purposes to which their peculiar characteristics require them to be applied. For these peculiar features the legislature can easily provide, and 1 hope in our time to see their civilizing influences more easily attain- able by the removal of those barriers which now render their adop- tion so costly and so difficult, and that this desirable result will be attained by the total abolition of the present tedious and expensive ordeal of Private Bill Legislation. The limits which the rules of this Society, and regard for the feel- ings of my auditory, impose upon me, have prevented me from going at greater length into this branch of the subject, but I hope I have not trespassed too much on your patience, in attracting your atten- tion to a subject which I feel to be one of the greatest possible im- portance to this part of the United Kingdom.

Introduction None of the early Corporation records survive among the present documents, all of which date from after 1855 when the Town Commissioners were established.Some of these earlier records may be included amongst the Lismore and Chatsworth papers. When the Old Narket House in Lower Main Street was sold by the Duke of Devonshire in 1861 other records may have been destroyed as the first floor of this building housed the Corporation rooms. A note in the Minutes dated April 1885 records that Edmond Keohan and and other Commissioners were to 'examine and class the papers in the office, to take proper steps for their preservationf.It is not clear whether these papers included any pre 1855 documents. There are several references throughout the minutes to the Letter Books, unfortunately these have not survived which is a great pity as they included letters from notable personalities and political figures. It is thought that other records were destroyed in the 1950s during an over enthusiastic clean out of the Town Hall in Friary Street. However some documents may have escaped destruction over the years and are now in private hands.
