Question: Apache helicopters from the country which recently voted to leave the EU are based in this country. What was the position of the minister to that country who negotiated a treaty in 1795?

in the midst of the european sovereign-debt crisis, radek sikorski, poland's foreign minister, stated in november 2011, "i will probably be the first polish foreign minister in history to say so, but here it is: i fear german power less than i am beginning to fear german inactivity. you have become europe's indispensable nation." according to jacob heilbrunn, a senior editor at the national interest, such a statement is unprecedented when taking into consideration germany's history. "this was an extraordinary statement from a top official of a nation that was ravaged by germany during world war ii. and it reflects a profound shift taking place throughout germany and europe about berlin's position at the center of the continent." heilbrunn believes that the adage, "what was good for germany was bad for the european union" has been supplanted by a new mentality—what is in the interest of germany is also in the interest of its neighbors. the evolution in germany's national identity stems from focusing less on its nazi past and more on its prussian history, which many germans believe was betrayed—and not represented—by nazism. the evolution is further precipitated by germany's conspicuous position as europe's strongest economy. indeed, this german sphere of influence has been welcomed by the countries that border it, as demonstrated by polish foreign minister radek sikorski's effusive praise for his country's western neighbor. this shift in thinking is boosted by a newer generation of germans who see world war ii as a distant memory. <SEP> He directed U.S. foreign policy for much of the 1780s and was an important leader of the Federalist Party after the ratification of the United States Constitution in 1788. John Jay (December 23, 1745 – May 17, 1829) was an American statesman, patriot, diplomat, Founding Father of the United States, negotiator and signatory of the Treaty of Paris of 1783, second Governor of New York, and the first Chief Justice of the United States (1789–1795). <SEP> In a referendum on 23 June 2016, 51.9% of the participating UK electorate voted to leave the EU, out of a turnout of 72.2%. On 29 March 2017, the UK government invoked Article 50 of the Treaty on the European Union. The UK is thus due to leave the EU on 29 March 2019. <SEP> The Army Air Corps (AAC) is a component of the British Army, first formed in 1942 during the Second World War by grouping the various airborne units of the British Army (which are no longer part of the AAC). They are located in Britain, Brunei, Canada, and Germany. Today, there are eight regiments (7 Regular Army and 1 Reserve) of the AAC as well as four Independent Flights and two Independent Squadrons deployed in support of British Army operations across the world. Some AAC squadrons provide the offensive and air assault elements of 16 Air Assault Brigade through Joint Helicopter Command. <SEP> Jay Treaty Treaty of Amity, Commerce, and Navigation, Between His Britannic Majesty and The United States of America First page of the Jay Treaty Context To relieve post-war tension between Britain and the United States Signed November 19, 1794 (1794 - 11 - 19) Location London Effective February 29, 1796 (1796 - 02 - 29) Negotiators William Grenville, 1st Baron Grenville John Jay Signatories Kingdom of Great Britain United States Jay's Treaty at Wikisource <SEP> switzerland voted against membership in the european economic area in a referendum in december 1992 and has since maintained and developed its relationships with the european union (eu) and european countries through bilateral agreements. in march 2001, the swiss people refused in a popular vote to start accession negotiations with the eu. in recent years, the swiss have brought their economic practices largely into conformity with those of the eu in many ways, in an effort to enhance their international competitiveness. the economy grew at 3% in 2010, 1.9% in 2011, and 1% in 2012. full eu membership is a long-term objective of some in the swiss government, but there is considerable popular sentiment against this supported by the conservative svp party. the western french-speaking areas and the urban regions of the rest of the country tend to be more pro-eu, however with far from any significant share of the population.
