schestowitz" First of all, let us give a big thank you to all those who voted in the Staff Rep elections in June. We appreciate your support and were impressed by the high turnout in the election of 69% of staff in The Hague! We would like to thank all the candidates that stood in the elections and extend a special thank you to the election committee who took on the task of organising the whole process."Mar 03 02:51
schestowitz" We will now continue with our priority as staff representatives: supporting our colleagues and protecting the rights of staff. We will do our best to channel all our efforts into this goal."Mar 03 02:51
schestowitz"Dear colleagues,Mar 03 02:52
schestowitzHome leave is regulated by the CODEX in Art 60 ServRegs, with the reimbursement of costs done according to Art 77(3) and Art 80(1)(c) ServRegs. In principle, this means that the actual costs for the journey should be reimbursed:Mar 03 02:52
schestowitz“Travel expenses, actually incurred for the outward and return journey between the place of employment and his home, for such leave shall be reimbursed to the employee concerned”Mar 03 02:52
schestowitzThe implementation of these reimbursements are regulated by Circ. 22, Rule 10:Mar 03 02:52
schestowitz    For pragmatic reasons, the administration proposes a lump-sum approach in Rule 10(c)(i).Mar 03 02:52
schestowitz    However, it is also possible to request reimbursement of the actual expenses incurred, in line with Rule 10(c)(ii). Such a request should be made before the home leave (except in cases of force majeure).Mar 03 02:52
schestowitzIt makes sense to request reimbursement of the actual expenses one incurs to travel to & from their place of home leave (with their family), if these exceed the lump-sum calculation.Mar 03 02:52
schestowitzWhen requesting home leave, the administration will provide you with a calculation for your expenses. If the calculation comprises a total sum of travel expenses that is lower than the actual expenses you incurred for the travel, we encourage you to request the reimbursement of your actual costs – and to do so before the actual journey. (Bear in mind you’ll of course need the invoices/tickets/proof of payment to establish your actuaMar 03 02:52

schestowitz">The authors say that &quot;definitional confusion&quot; feeds rationalisations of deviant behaviour. I don't think they have evidence for any such thing. They asked participants to define what they think &quot;counterfeit&quot; means and, not surprisingly, the people who gave it the broadest definition (&quot;products which are designer inspired but are clearly different&quot;) were more likely to confess to purchasing counterfeits. NMar 03 22:34
schestowitzobody is rationalising their deviant behaviour - the respondents who believe in different definitions are just admitting (or not) to completely different things.<br /><br />Sure, in between the question about defining &quot;counterfeit&quot; and the question about how many counterfeits you buy came the authors' definition to &quot;guide the respondents&quot;. That definition said:<br /><br />Counterfeits are items that look identical toMar 03 22:34
schestowitz a genuine product with or without the official branding/logo, but are not made by the brand and may be of lower quality, for example, sneakers of an identical design to Nike Sneakers with or without the Nike logo.<br /><br />Crystal clear then. It might seek to mislead the consumer by use of the official logo, but then again it might not. It might be of lower quality, it might not. It might infringe some IP, but it might not. Hard to sMar 03 22:34
schestowitzee why any respondent would just give up and revert to their intuitive understanding of what a counterfeit is, regardless of the definition that is there to &quot;guide&quot; them.<br /><br />What a load of rubbish.<br /><br />Patent attorney and deviant who sometimes shops in Aldi.<br /><br />"Mar 03 22:34
