Mechanisms To Control The Fulfillment Of The Eu Sustainability Criteria For Transport Biofuels In Directive 2009/28/Ec, Evgenia Pavlovskaia
Evgenia Pavlovskaia
To function efficiently, a framework in environmental law should contain certain mechanisms or supplementary elements that facilitate the implementation and enforcement of environmental regulations, for example such mechanisms and elements that answer for the control and supervision of the legislated requirements. Appropriately organized control mechanisms are important for a legal framework to function as it has been aimed for and to fulfill its purposes. The present article is focused on the analysis of the mechanisms chosen to control the fulfillment of the European Union (EU) sustainability criteria for transport biofuels, which have been presented in Directive 2009/28/EC. The analysis is …

The Eu Policy For Sustainable Transport Biofuels And Directive 2009/28/Ec From A Legal Perspective, Evgenia Pavlovskaia
Evgenia Pavlovskaia
The enforcement and implementation of separate aspects of sustainable development and environmental sustainability can be challenging and innovative due to the complexity of this task. Appropriate policy and legal approaches and tools can be needed for this purpose.

The central legal acts in this area, including Directive 2003/30/EC, Directive 2009/30/EC and Directive 2009/28/EC are explored. Advantages and disadvantages of the EU approach to sustainable transport biofuels are discussed. Suggestions for the future development …

The Illusion Of Interchangeability: The Benefits And Dangers Of Guidance-Plus Rulemaking In The Fda's Biosimilar Approval Process, Jonathan Stroud
Jonathan R. K. Stroud
On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed into law the ambitious Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. While media attention focused largely on the sweeping changes the bill makes to the nation’s healthcare system, there was also a less-noticed rider to the bill, the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009 (Biosimilars Act). The Biosimilars Act grants the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) broad new authority to create an accelerated premarket approval pathway for generic competition to biologics in an attempt to drive biologic drug prices down and reduce the overall costs of health care. Traditionally, inventors of medical …
"Law's Outsiders": An Interview With Alex Sharpe, Linnéa Wegerstad, Niklas Selberg
"Law's Outsiders": An Interview With Alex Sharpe, Linnéa Wegerstad, Niklas Selberg
Linnéa Wegerstad
In May 2012 Alex Sharpe, Professor of Law at Keele University, UK, visited Lund University where she participated in a series of seminars and workshops organised around a central motif in her work: the legal outsider. As part of her visit she presented a version of a paper recently published in the Modern Law Review titled “Transgender Marriage and the Legal Obligation to Disclose Gender History.” The paper focused on and challenged the legal and wider cultural framing of non-disclosure of gender history as harmful and as unethical. The paper is her latest intervention and forms part of a substantial …
The Targeted Killing Judgment Of The Israeli Supreme Court And The Critique Of Legal Violence, Markus Gunneflo
The Targeted Killing Judgment Of The Israeli Supreme Court And The Critique Of Legal Violence, Markus Gunneflo
Markus Gunneflo
The targeted killing judgment of the Israeli Supreme Court has, since it was handed down in December 2006, received a significant amount of attention: praise as well as criticism. Offering neither praise nor criticism, the present article is instead an attempt at a ‘critique’ of the judgment drawing on the German-Jewish philosopher Walter Benjamin’s famous essay from 1921, ‘Critique of Violence’. The article focuses on a key aspect of Benjamin’s critique: the distinction between the two modalities of ‘legal violence’ – lawmaking or foundational violence and law-preserving or administrative violence. Analysing the fact that the Court exercises jurisdiction over these …
Technological Convergence And Competition On The Edge - „Emerging Markets“ And Their Regulation, Andrea Stazi
Technological Convergence And Competition On The Edge - „Emerging Markets“ And Their Regulation, Andrea Stazi
Andrea Stazi
Technological convergence, on the one hand, tends to point out new roles - and sometimes also markets - for the players in the communications industry, producing the segmentation of different functions and phases in the value chain. On the other hand, technological convergence could bring forth numerous specific antitrust issues, such as an increase in the market power of the suppliers of more appealing services or contents, or a premature foreclosure of the new market due to leveraging of the power maintained by a company in another market. A topic of particular interest, till now quite neglected by legal doctrine, …
