Commission facilitates activities of cross-border associations in the EU

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:42:51 GMT

The Commission has adopted a proposal to facilitate the cross-border activities of non-profit associations in the EU. The proposal will improve the functioning of the internal market by removing legal and administrative obstacles for non-profit associations which operate or wish to operate in several member states. This proposal promotes the role of non-profit associations in creating economic and societal value in the EU and enables a level playing field between associations. The Commission's proposal introduces an additional legal form of European Cross-Border Association (ECBA) into the national legal systems of member states, which is specifically designed for cross-border purposes and will reduce the legal and administrative burden regarding the recognition and creation of non-profit associations carrying out activities in another member state. Once established in a member state, an ECBA will be automatically recognized and able to carry out activities in all member states, inc...

In a penny game, North was the dreaded Grapefruit, my club member who is as ornery as a bunkhouse cook and makes his partners miserable.At 3NT, dummy’s ace won the first diamond, and Grapefruit played the deuce. When dummy led a club next, Grapefruit contributed the deuce of spades.Declarer played the nine, letting West take his queen. West then resolutely led another diamond, South took four clubs, three diamonds and two spades, and Grapefruit boiled over like a pot of unwatched spaghetti.SWITCH“Partner,” he snarled, “were my deuces not low enough for you? Shift to the deuce of hearts.”“I can’t lead away from the ace,” West said indignantly. “Declarer might have the king.”Grapefruit told the kibitzers that if somebody gave West a penny for his thoughts, they should get change back.When West takes the queen of clubs, he can count nine tricks for declarer. Moreover, West should treat East’s deuces in diamonds and spade...

Ask Amy: Why this inappropriate question from people I barely know?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:42:51 GMT

Dear Amy: Often when I meet someone new, they’ll ask me if I have children. When I say no, they will then ask if I have pets.I’m always tempted to ask them why they think a dog or cat can replace a child, but since I know that would be rude, I keep my mouth shut.Do you have any suggestions for something I can say to them that would indicate their question is inappropriate, without sounding rude?– Childless, Petless, and HappyDear Childless: Like you, I do wonder about the great leap from raising children to raising animals, but, unlike you, I don’t necessarily think this is a rude query.The overall category here is: “Living Things: Sharing Space With.”It sounds as if these new people are trying to find some common ground as a way to try to get to know you.Approximately two-thirds of Americans do have pets in their homes, and so there is a likelihood that this question would lead to a conversation, instead of you thinking their interest or curiosity is inappropriate.One w...
