Waanders, Zwolle 1995 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_van012199501_01/colofon.php © 2012 dbnl / Rijksmuseum Vincent Van Gogh 6 Director's Foreword The Van Gogh Museum shortly after its opening in 1973 For those of us who experienced the foundation of the Van Gogh Museum at first hand, it may come as a shock to discover that over 20 years have passed since Her Majesty Queen Juliana officially opened the Museum on 2 June 1973. For a younger generation, it is perhaps surprising to discover that the institution is in fact so young. Indeed, it is remarkable that in such a short period of time the Museum has been able to create its own specific niche in both the Dutch and international art worlds. This first issue of the Van Gogh Museum Journal marks the passage of the Rijksmuseum (National Museum) Vincent van Gogh to its new status as Stichting Van Gogh Museum (Foundation Van Gogh Museum). The publication is designed to both report on the Museum's activities and, more particularly, to be a motor and repository for the scholarship on the work of Van Gogh and aspects of the permanent collection in broader context. Besides articles on individual works or groups of objects from both the Van Gogh Museum's collection and the collection of the Museum Mesdag, the Journal will publish the acquisitions of the previous year. Scholars not only from the Museum but from all over the world are and will be invited to submit their contributions.

    Politics and Governance (ISSN: 2183–2463) 2018, Volume 6, Issue 4, Pages 159–167 DOI: 10.17645/pag.v6i4.1556 Article Loyalty and Secret Intelligence: Anglo–Dutch Cooperation during World War II Eleni Braat Department of History and Art History, Utrecht University, 3512 BS Utrecht, The Netherlands; E-Mail: [email protected] Submitted: 25 April 2018 | Accepted: 21 June 2018 | Published: 28 December 2018 Abstract Secrecy and informal organisation produce, sustain, and reinforce feelings of loyalty within intelligence and security ser- vices. This article demonstrates that loyalty is needed for cooperation between intelligence partners as well as within and between services. Under many circumstances, loyalty plays a larger role in the level of internal and external collaboration than formal work processes along hierarchical lines. These findings are empirically based on the case study of Anglo–Dutch intelligence cooperation during World War II. By demonstrating that ‘loyalty’ critically affects the work of intelligence com- munities, this article contributes to current and future research that integrates history, intelligence studies, and research on emotions.

  • Joint Recommendation of the Scheveningen Group Discard Plan for Demersal Fisheries in the North Sea
    Ref. Ares(2018)3458869Ares(2019)2387732 - 29/06/201804/04/2019 Joint Recommendation of the Scheveningen Group Discard Plan for Demersal Fisheries in the North Sea 1. Background One of the main elements of the reform of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) applying from 1 January 2014 is the gradual introduction of landing obligations for all catches taken from stocks subject to catch limits. To this end, Regulation (EU) no. 1380/2013 (the “Basic Regulation”) sets out the timeframes for the relevant fisheries as well as provisions for possible exemptions. At the same time this regulation defines the general framework for regional cooperation on conservation measures. In Article 15(6) of Regulation (EU) no. 1380/2013 the Commission is empowered to adopt Delegated Acts in accordance with Article 18 of that Regulation concerning specific provisions regarding fisheries or species covered by the landing obligation, exemptions for high survivability and de minimis, provisions, on the documentation of catches and the fixing of minimum conservation reference sizes. According to Article 18 of the Basic Regulation Member States having a direct management interest may submit joint recommendation (JR) for discard plans. These are to contain details of the implementation of the landing obligation. Upon agreeing a JR the Member States may propose to the Commission to translate it into a delegated act. Where no measures have been adopted for the purpose of specifying the de minimis exemption the Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts containing only provisions for de minimis exemptions. At the time of submitting this JR to the Commission a multiannual plan for demersal stocks in the North Sea was in the final stage of its adoption.

    Sientje Mesdag-van Houten, Foral Still Life Saint-Josse-ten-Noode 1847 – 1943 Brussels oil on panel 16 ¾ by 14 ¾ inches (43 by 37.5 cm.) signed lower right: ‘S M.vH’ provenance: Brabantse KunstJaleriJ, Oirshot, The Netherlands; Private collection, The Netherlands note: SientJe van Houten married Hendrik Willem Mesdag in April 1856 and seven years later in 1863 their only child, Klaas was born. In 1864, her father died and left her a substantial inheritance. This change in her financial situation allowed Hendrik to leave his father’s bank where he had been working for siXteen years and concentrate on his painting and eventually become a professional artist. SientJe accompanied her husband when he went to Brussels to study under Willem Roelofs. Their house in Rue Van de Weyer was often the focal point for Dutch and Belgian painters, and it could well have been the conversations on art at these soirées that stimulated SientJe’s mind and enhanced her artistic talent. She, like her husband, not only received instruction from Roelofs but also from Hendrik’s cousin the professional artist, Lawrence Alma-Tadema. SientJe van Houten accompanied her husband when he spent the summer of 1866 at the Oosterbeek artist colony and again in the summer of 1868 on the island of Nordeney where she, like Hendrik, spent time painting and sketching seascapes. The couple moved to The Hague in 1869, where they lived in a house on Anna Paulownastraat and later in a house on Laan van Meerdervoort. Her husband, who wanted to concentrate on seascapes, later hired a studio room facing the sea at the Villa Elba in Scheveningen where he and Sientje would spend hours painting and sketching.
