The principle that matters that can be organised on a national scale more efficiently, should regulated by a country itself.
Slide 21 - Tekstslide
Slide 22 - Tekstslide
Northwest, south and east
- physical geographical characteristics
- human geographical characteristics
- contributing to the EU
- profiting from the EU
Figure 5.15
Slide 23 - Tekstslide
Northwest: physical
Moderate maritime climate, with cool summers, mild winters and rainfall throughout the year.
Landscape is dominated by relatively flat lowlands, but there are hilly areas and mountain ranges.
Slide 24 - Tekstslide
Northwest: human
An urbanised area.
Tertiary (services) sector.
The primary (agriculture) sector is small in size, but large in output > capital intensive farms.
HDI and GDP/capita are very high.
Slide 25 - Tekstslide
Northwest: benefits/contributes
All northwestern EU countries (except for Ireland) are net contributors: they pay more than they receive.
The two major items on which EU money is spent are agriculture (mainly subsidies for farmers) e.g. in France and regional development.
Slide 26 - Tekstslide
Slide 27 - Tekstslide
South: physical
Mediterranean climate. Summers are warm
and dry, winters are mild and wet.
More relief, plateaus and mountain ranges.
Near the plate boundary of the Eurasian and African plates, earthquakes and volcanic activity is quite common.
Slide 28 - Tekstslide
South: human
Less densely populated.
Tertiary sector > tourism
Secondary sector > e.g. clothing industry, car manufacture
Primary sector > e.g. olives, wine
HDI and GDP/capita are lower
Romance languages and Catholicism
Slide 29 - Tekstslide
South: benefits/contributes
European subsidies to stimulate GDP/capita (agriculture).
Subsidies for infrastructural works.
Net receivers: they receive more
than they pay (exept for Italy).
Slide 30 - Tekstslide
Slide 31 - Tekstslide
East: physical
Transition: the maritime climate in the northwestern EU to a continental climate in the most eastern part.
Continental climates > warm summers and cold winters.
Flat, highlands, important rivers.
Slide 32 - Tekstslide
East: human
Less urbanised and less densely populated.
Poorest region in the EU. Globally very highly developed (HDI)
Economic development strongly linked to its communist past > vulnerable
Slide 33 - Tekstslide
East: benefits/contributes
Net receiver.
Most EU money is spent on agriculture and development of backward regions > cohesion funds.
