Re: [ubuntu-uk] Fw: EU rules for member States and more!

2009-03-05 Thread Angelos Chatzikostas
There is no VAT in intra EU transaction. But the importer has to pay the VAT
in customs. That is ofcourse applied to companies and not individuals...

I think UK has to see more friendly the EU ...


Thanks

I was educated before we bacame part of the EU.
 The EU allows all member States to use their own system of measurement and
 currency!
 Interesting that a contributor wants computer weights stated in kilos!
 Some years ago, trading standards prosecuted traders for selling goods in
 pounds and ounces instead of kilos.
 Are UK speed limmits defined in miles/hour or kilometers/hour?
 Also, the EU rules state that items manufactured in an EU state and sent
 from, are liable to the VAT rate of that State, so when Dell transfer
 production to Poland later this year, the VAT rate should be 22.5%?
 It will be interesting to see if the increased VAT rate is passed on as
 increased product prices.
 I am sure that many of you will have already seen how VAT rates vary,
 according to what State items are purchased from?
 Why does the building industry use the millimetre as the standard of
 measurement, and businesses such as Maplin think that the unit of current is
 the milliamp.
 A 1000 millimetre worktop or a 2200 milliamp battery are incorrect
 expressions of measurement.
 If imperial measurements present problems. a Kilo is 2.2 lbs!
 and we still dont get paid in Euros in the UK!

 It actually is a shame you have to pay for 3 years of extra warranty. In
 Europe the minimum warranty from the manufacturer is 2 years and not the
 12 months we get. We want two years warranty!



I thought UK is part of EU .. :)
Well according to EU laws anyone who sells equipment in EU must offer 2
years warranty..

Re: [ubuntu-uk] run Windows XP in Ubuntu

Hi,
I prefer to run my windows applications under Vmware (or any other
virtualization software).
I find it very reliable (and trendy)



Thanks

 I want to run a windows application, which will not run under wine, in
 Ubuntu 8.04. There appear to be a number of techniques and I would be
 grateful for suggestions as to the most reliable, in your opinion.

 Thank you.

 Norman
