Causes For The Irregular Migration Crises Case Of Kosovo - Final Paper Pdf.Pdf, Xhevdet Halili

Xhevdet Halili

Based on Eurostat’s data, the number of asylum seekers in EU member states from Republic of Kosovo (RKS) was 66,885 citizens during 2015, ranking Kosovo as the fourth highest in the world (following Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq). Consequently, these data are considered to be noticeably worrisome for the country. The purpose of this article is to determine the causes of this major flux of migrating asylum seekers from RKS to EU countries. Within this context, the research includes analysis of relevant statistics which monitor this situation, including the applicable laws that result in this unfavorable occurrence.

Competition And Regulation In The Insurance Sector: Reassessing The Mccarran-Ferguson Act, Susan Beth Farmer Mar 2016

Competition And Regulation In The Insurance Sector: Reassessing The Mccarran-Ferguson Act, Susan Beth Farmer

Susan Beth Farmer

This article was presented at a symposium entitled “Public and Private: Are the Boundaries in Transition?” sponsored by the American Antitrust Institute on June 24, 2010. It proposes a different paradigm, which more precisely describes regulation and competition in the insurance sector. This relationship is the shifting boundary between state and federal regulation instead of a boundary between the public and private sectors. The McCarran-Ferguson Act was adopted to protect firms acting in the business of insurance from federal antitrust scrutiny, but its language and impact goes far beyond federal competition law. So broad is the exemption that the modern …

National Legal Traditions At Work In The Jurisprudence Of The Court Of Justice Of The European Union: Symposium: Foreign Law In Constitutional Courts, Fernanda Nicola Dec 2015

National Legal Traditions At Work In The Jurisprudence Of The Court Of Justice Of The European Union: Symposium: Foreign Law In Constitutional Courts, Fernanda Nicola

Fernanda G. Nicola

Numerous scholars have commented on the judicial style of the Court of Justice of the European Union and its non-Herculean judges, generally disapproving of its minimalist reasoning, lack of transparency, and failure to draw openly on comparative legal sources to avoid inconsistencies and weaknesses in its legal reasoning. In a debate where both historians and sociologists have provided new avenues of research, the paucity of comparative lawyers is surprising because European law is a quintessential example of a transnational legal order. Since its inception, European judges, advocates general, and lawyers in Luxembourg have drawn inspiration from the different national legal …

Supranationalism And Foreign Law At The Court Of Justice Of The Eu Symposium: Foreign Law In Constitutional Courts: Introduction, Fernanda Nicola Dec 2015

Supranationalism And Foreign Law At The Court Of Justice Of The Eu Symposium: Foreign Law In Constitutional Courts: Introduction, Fernanda Nicola

Fernanda G. Nicola

By virtue of its peculiar position as the world’s first supranational court, the comparative legal method and the use of foreign law hold a particular significance for the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU, or “the Court”). This supranational characteristic, however, places the Court under an intense and unique set of judicial and political pressures. The Court must ensure the autonomy, exclusivity, and functioning of the EU’s legal order, while remaining sensitive to the fact that it is positioned as a central node in a network of national, international, and foreign courts that are profoundly affected by its …

Nutritional Labelling In France - Causes And Implications Of Consumer Confusion, Luis González Vaqué Jul 2015

Nutritional Labelling In France - Causes And Implications Of Consumer Confusion, Luis González Vaqué

Luis González Vaqué

This article discusses the controversial and heavily debated initiatives aimed at introducing nutritional labelling in France – initiatives which have exploited the ambiguity of the Art. 35 of the Regulation (EU ) No 1169/2011 on the provision of food information to consumers and have also perhaps misappropriated the provisions of Art. 34.

Trademark Exhaustion In The European Union: Community-Wide Or International? The Saga Continues, Irene Calboli Jul 2015

Trademark Exhaustion In The European Union: Community-Wide Or International? The Saga Continues, Irene Calboli

Irene Calboli

Dr. Calboli discusses trademark exhaustion in the European Union. She proposes an international exhaustion standard to replace the community-wide exhaustion standard. In an international system, a trademark owner would exhaust his rights in other national jurisdictions when trademarked goods are placed on the market in any national jurisdiction where the trademark owner enjoys protection. Accordingly, the trademark owner will not be free to prevent international importation of genuine products bearing his trademark. Dr. Calboli describes the development of the community-wide exhaustion standard and its interpretative problems as part of the Trademark Directive. She then proposes changing to an international exhaustion …

El Desperdicio De Alimentos En La Unión Europea: ¿Un Nuevo Desafío Para El Derecho Agroalimentario?, Luis González Vaqué Apr 2015

El Desperdicio De Alimentos En La Unión Europea: ¿Un Nuevo Desafío Para El Derecho Agroalimentario?, Luis González Vaqué

Luis González Vaqué

Resumen

La pérdida o el desperdicio de alimentos se producen a lo largo de toda la cadena alimentaria, desde la producción agrícola inicial hasta el consumo final en los hogares. En la Unión Europea (UE), los alimentos se desperdician de manera significativa en la etapa del consumo, lo que significa que se desechan (se tiran) incluso si todavía son adecuados para el consumo humano. También se detectan pérdidas importantes al principio de las cadenas de suministro de alimentos. En los países de ingresos bajos, los alimentos se pierden principalmente durante las primeras etapas y las etapas intermedias de la cadena …

El Retraso En La Adopción De La Directiva Relativa A Los Secretos Comerciales: ¿Quién Gana… Quién Pierde?, Luis González Vaqué

Luis González Vaqué

Mientras el desarrollo y la gestión de los conocimientos y la información son cada vez más cruciales de cara al buen funcionamiento de la economía de la UE, la exposición del saber hacer y la información de valor no divulgados (secretos comerciales) al robo, el espionaje u otras técnicas de apropiación indebida ha aumentado y sigue aumentando (globalización, externalización, cadenas de abastecimiento más largas, mayor utilización de las TIC, etc.). También aumenta el riesgo de que secretos comerciales robados sean utilizados en terceros países para producir bienes infractores que posteriormente podrían entrar en competencia en el territorio de la UE …

A Comparison Of The Jurisprudence Of The Ecj And The Efta Court On The Free Movement Of Goods In The Eea: Is There An Intolerable Separation Of Article 34 Of The Tfeu And Article Of 11 Of The Eea?, Jarrod Tudor Apr 2015

A Comparison Of The Jurisprudence Of The Ecj And The Efta Court On The Free Movement Of Goods In The Eea: Is There An Intolerable Separation Of Article 34 Of The Tfeu And Article Of 11 Of The Eea?, Jarrod Tudor

Jarrod Tudor

Article 11 of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and Article 34 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (“TFEU”) prohibit quantitative restrictions on the free movement of goods. The EEA is monitored by the European Free Trade Area Court (“EFTA Court”) and the TFEU is monitored by the European Court of Justice (“ECJ”). In theory, the EFTA Court and the ECJ should interpret Article 11 and Article 34 in the same manner in order to promote harmonization of the law on the free movement of goods and allow for further economic integration between EFTA and the EU. …

The Free Movement Of Capital In Europe: Is The European Court Of Justice Living Up To Its Framers' Intent And Setting An Example For The World?, Jarrod Tudor Apr 2015

The Free Movement Of Capital In Europe: Is The European Court Of Justice Living Up To Its Framers' Intent And Setting An Example For The World?, Jarrod Tudor

Jarrod Tudor

The benefits to free movement of international financial flows are numerous but include an efficient asset market and the opportunity for economic growth and development for countries engaged in an agreement allowing for such freedom. The free movement of capital is one of the four pillars of the Treaty on the Function of the European Union (TFEU) along with the free movement of goods, services, and labor. Article 63 of the TFEU prohibits limitations on the free movement of capital while Article 65 of the TFEU allows for some exceptions. Not only does the free movement of capital doctrine suppose …

Discriminatory Internal Taxation In The European Union: The Power Of The European Court Of Justice To Limit The Tax Sovereignty Of Member-States Under Article 110 Of The Tfeu, Jarrod Tudor Apr 2015

Discriminatory Internal Taxation In The European Union: The Power Of The European Court Of Justice To Limit The Tax Sovereignty Of Member-States Under Article 110 Of The Tfeu, Jarrod Tudor

Jarrod Tudor

Protectionism can come in a variety of methods including the use of internal taxation policies that discriminate against imports making those imports more expensive on the domestic market and thus favoring domestically-produced goods. Discriminatory taxation policies have been developed by member-states to mask protectionism by distinguishing products based on import status, product similarity, product life cycle, consumption, tax collection practices, transportation charges, and state aid. The Framers of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) wrote Article 110 with the objective in mind to prohibit internal taxation policies from discriminating against goods in made in other member-states. …

The New Tobacco Products Directive And Wto Law: Much Ado About Nothing?, Lukasz A. Gruszczynski Mar 2015

The New Tobacco Products Directive And Wto Law: Much Ado About Nothing?, Lukasz A. Gruszczynski

Lukasz A Gruszczynski

The article analyses the compatibility of various regulatory mechanisms provided by the new Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) with the requirements of WTO law, in particular those included in the TBT and TRIPS Agreements. After introducing basic provisions of the directive and summarizing the concerns raised by some WTO Members during meetings of the TBT Committee and the TRIPS Council, the article discusses in more detail the merits of those claims. It finds that concerns expressed by the WTO Members are generally overstated, as most TPD provisions, except for the temporal menthol exception, are WTO compatible. The article also notes that …

Equity Crowdfunding: All Regulated But Not Equal, Garry A. Gabison Jan 2015

Equity Crowdfunding: All Regulated But Not Equal, Garry A. Gabison

Garry A. Gabison

This paper describes how different countries have approached equity crowdfunding. This paper focuses on countries or regulatory authorities that either expressed their awareness of the phenomenon but decided to adopt a holding pattern (monitoring and investigating) or that decided to adopt new laws and regulations. Countries like Australia have opted to reaffirm how their current set of regulations applies to crowdfunding whereas others like the United States, Italy, the United Kingdom, and France have elected to create new exemptions in an effort to facilitate equity crowdfunding. This paper compares how each country decided to regulate the different participants in the …

Assent In Cloud Computing Contracts: Old Wine In New Bottles, Enas Qutieshat, Ola G. Abassi Jan 2015

Assent In Cloud Computing Contracts: Old Wine In New Bottles, Enas Qutieshat, Ola G. Abassi

Enas Qutieshat

Cloud computing is sometimes called software as a service. It appears set to revolutionise the computer industry over the next few years due to globalization. Hence, enterprise governance of cloud projects requires acknowledgment of regulatory compliance requirements at both where the data are sourced and where the data are stored. New legal issues are already arising relative to the cloud. Detailed due diligence, an understanding of expected cloud client responsibilities, and review and negotiation or candidate CSP SLAs and contracts are needed by both users as well as providers. Hence, this paper will highlight how mutual assent can be understood …
