Ce chapitre s’intéresse à plusieurs pays de l’UE et souligne les principaux aspects de leur cadre institutionnel respectif concernant les activités d’appro-visionnement en eau et d’assainissement. Il fournit également des exemples de cas où la participation du secteur privé dans le domaine de l’eau a posé un pro-blème, et d’autres où le secteur public est en charge du réseau de distribution. Le choix des pays évoqués vise à présenter diverses expériences et divers contextes géopolitiques, de l’Europe méditerranéenne à l’Europe du Nord en passant par les pays d’Europe centrale et orientale. En outre, les pays choisis comptent à la fois d’anciens membres de l’Europe des 15 et des membres plus récents. La dernière partie du chapitre traite de l’infuence de la législation européenne sur la gestion et la fourniture de services de distribution en eau. [Introductory paragraph to paper - see Additional Information].

A growing number of consumers are choosing to wear sporting merchandise, from an‘other’ nation – whom they have no geographic or ethnic affiliation with. In addition, nation sports branding appears to have scaled pandemic heights; by reaching fever pitch, when actively carrying its message across boarders. Consumer preferences are being driven past simple behavioural characteristics; towards more transient psychographic and emotional constructs. In short, nation branded sporting uniform is no longer viewed as demanding restrictivemonogamous loyalty. Ownership of a uniform largely suggests exclusivity and encouraged competition. However, manufactures, national teams, athletes and sponsors are entering symbiotic brand relationships - where they are actively seeking publics, open to multiple adopted nationalities. This phenomenon draws consumers towards embracing temporal national identities, which are converted into an over-arching cross-border identity; ultimately gifting sports brands more significance. The following paper explores consumers’ entry into relationships with another nation, in preference to their own - in manner that has been likened to a form of surrogacy; by the authors. The aim is to stimulate further thinking in a field; which transcends national and cultural boundaries - in the interests of developing new insight, and to provide a platform for marketers to develop more effective communications.
