Elemente de cultură juridică norvegiană

Author(s): Cosmin Dariescu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 2/2019

In a global society, legal cultures of different nations constitute a fertile field of research.

From the legal sources point of view, Norwegian Law is at the border between the Romano-Germanic Family and the Common Law Family. Courts are organized in a three layered system that deals with civil, criminal, administrative and constitutional cases. Judges are both professionals and laymen. The judicial procedure is oral, public, adversial and transparent, with some limitations on the right to appeal in civil cases.

INVESTMENT COURT SYSTEM OF CETA: ADVERSE EFFECTS ON THE AUTONOMY OF EU LAW AND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

Author(s): Simas Grigonis / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2019

The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has recently assessed the compatibility of the reformatory Investment Court System (ICS) of the EU’s trade agreement with Canada (CETA). In the Opinion 1/17, the CJEU ruled the ICS mechanism to be compatible with EU law. This article provides a comprehensive critical assessment of the ICS mechanism and its potential adverse effects on uniform interpretation of EU law. It is proposed that, despite the favourable assessment of the CJEU, the ICS mechanism could result in indirect negative effects on the uniform interpretation of EU law and the autonomy of EU legal order. Involvement of the CJEU in the proceedings of the ICS mechanism is suggested as a possible option to resolve all the incompatibilities of the ICS with the autonomy of the EU legal order, and to ensure the CJEU’s exclusive right to interpret EU law.

Author(s): Nicolae Voiculescu / Language(s): English Issue: XVIII/2019

Rule of law is one of the fundamental values upon which the European Union is based on.

Social rights, an essential component of fundamental human rights, are thus directly related to the rule of law principle. European Pillar of Social Rights contains principles and rights essential to the existence of fair and functional labour markets and social protection systems in 21st century Europe. The author advocates for understanding the concept of rule of law at European Union and national level by raising awareness and taking social values into account.

Competenţele Uniunii Europene stabilite pe baza principiului de atribuire prin tratate

Author(s): Ion M. Anghel / Language(s): Romanian Issue: I/2013

Once EU objectives have been established (the reason for the creation of the EU), the manner in which they had to be accomplished also had to be established; in other words, what are the powers of the Union and its institutions. Therefore, in order to illustrate the legal capacity of the EU, the rules on which it will operate were formulated – what competences does it possess. As a result, the general principles for determining the competencies of the EU and its institutions were formulated in the TEU; these rules have been developed and explained in the TFEU and then in the annexed Protocols. But the question of competencies arises whenever it comes to EU policies, and it must be made clear who is acting and within what limits, since we can say that the competencies are ubiquitous. Given the multiple directions of competence, the issue of EU competences will be addressed from three angles, depending on its basis: the constitutive acts of the EU (treaties) - the main path and the normal form, unquestionable, desirable; the quality of a subject of international law of the EU – the competences being the intrinsic consequence of its conferred legal personality; the objectives of the EU – from which it is claimed the unnamed competences stem from; adding other sources to these.

The European Union and its eastern neighbourhood: building a crucial relationship

Author(s): Belén Sánchez RAMOS / Language(s): English Issue: I/2013

The European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) is a fundamental instrument for the relations with the Southern Mediterranean and Eastern Europe. Since its inception în 2004, the ENP has promoted a variety of important initiatives, particularly on the trade and economic front, which have allowed the EU and its neighbours to develop stronger relationships în virtually all policy fields, from energy to education, from transport to research. The ENP is guided by the principles of differentiation and conditionality and universal values as human rights, democracy and the rule of law. This paper will focus on the implementation of the ENP, paying a special attention to the changes of the new European Neighbourhood Policy as a consequence of several factors such as the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty or the changes în the Southern Mediterranean. în this sense, our main interest will be the strengthening of the bilateral and multilateral cooperation with the Eastern Neighbourhood through the ENP and the Eastern Partnership Summit în Warsaw (29-30 September 2011) that calls for closer political association and deeper economic integration with the EU.

The Twentieth Anniversary of the European Union’s Internal Market: Strengths and Weaknesses of the Freedom to Provide Services

Author(s): Gabriela-Alexandra Oanţă / Language(s): English Issue: I/2013

On January 1st, 2013, twenty years have been met since the creation of the European Union’s internal market. The freedom to provide services is one of the most relevant manifestations of this internal market, which, în the last two decades, has deeply marked the process of the European integration. în this paper we analyze this fundamental freedom of the internal market as an invaluable tool of the European Union for a greater integration among its Members States and also to improve the options that the ordinary European citizen has available within his grasp. Undoubtedly, during this period of time the services have had a significant impact on the economy of the European Union’s Member States, generating nearly three quarters of the Gross Domestic Product of these States. Taking into account all these considerations, this paper will be divided into two parts. în the first part, it will be studied from a legal point of view the evolution of the freedom to provide services în the European Union framework. And în the second part, especially all the strengths and weaknesses of the freedom to provide services în the framework of the European Union will be presented.

Ministerul public european. Mize, realizări şi perspective

Author(s): Pavel Palcu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: I/2013

The concept of a European Public Prosecutor is certainly not new, it was born since the mid-1970s as a necessity to most effectively protect the financial interests of the European Community, which already attributed to its own resources. Following the adoption of the Lisbon Treaty created the legal basis for the establishment of a European Department of Public Prosecution. The novel mention of a European Prosecution Department seems pretty bold, especially as according to Article 86 of the Treaty (TFEU) it is not expected to restrict their activities only to offenses that threaten the Union's financial interests, but provides that the Council can decide "at once or thereafter" extension of the competence for criminal investigations of serious crimes with a cross-border dimension.Since the road apparently leads towards a public action, we will analyze the stakes, the achievements and none the less the prospects.

Eforturile Uniunii Europene de a reglementa pieţele financiare ale statelor membre

Author(s): Ana Gabriela Atanasiu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: I/2013

The current EU legislative framework is based on minimum harmonization and mutual recognition. More so, because of the sensitivity of the field of the financial markets – the trigger of the crisis of 2008 – the member states are reluctant to give to the EU the power to regulate with regulations instead of directives.The most important measure, the act that had deep implications in the entire financial sector was the MiFID directive. But the implementation of this measure was very difficult and resulted in a continuous struggle of the Commission with the member states for the complete implementation of the measures taken at EU level in the financial services field. The term”subsidiarity” is often the main excuse invoked by the member states to oppose the desire of the EU governing bodies to deeply regulate the financial markets. As a result the intervention of the EU so far is made through the way of directives, not regulations, thus giving some space to the member states.Subsidiarity means that what can be achieved at a lower level of competence must not be realised at a higher level.The European subsidiarity is a term often defined in connection to the notions of Proportionality and Necessity. Any action by the EU should not go beyond what is necessary to achieve the objectives of the Treaty. The novelty brought by Lisbon is the Protocol on the application of the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality.

Incursiune în sistemul românesc şi european. Deontologia funcţiei publice

Author(s): PAULINA DINA / Language(s): Romanian Issue: I/2013

Deontology, through its specific object of research lies at the boundary between law and morality. It represents a set of rules outlining a certain professional or private behaviour. Some of these rules are established in terms of legal intervention and may be imposed by the coercive force of the state; others are only sanctioned by public opinion, following the ethical category. Deontology can be considered a bridge between legal sciences (law) and ethics and it can be examined from two perspectives: that of the regulations issued under the "principle of legality" in conjunction with the morals. The second aspect refers to the fact that it represents "all the legal and moral standards related to the public office as an intrinsic of public service objectively stated by the society at a time, in order to improve public service by those called to act as public officers. To get the best combination of hierarchical structure and administrative capacity with management effectiveness and efficiency and the ability to deliver results and performance, it is necessary to reform the public administration including all aspects of state organization. Thus, in the government’s reality, not everything that is legal is also ethical. Whether we like it or not, civil servants are working with certain legal rules that are not necessarily ethical as a general criterion.

Common Law şi Equity - apariţia şi dezvoltarea sistemului de drept anglo-saxon

Author(s): Anemari OPRIŢOIU / Language(s): Romanian Issue: I/2013

The Anglo-Saxon law system is one of the most widely known and widespread law systems in the world, together with the Romanian-German law system. Although the emergence and evolution of this system of law has been concomitant with the immediate proximity of the European law system, the two systems have totally different ways of approaching what is meant by understanding and administering justice. The Anglo-Saxon system of law is primarily a dualist system, having a single dichotomy, namely that between common law and equity, as opposed to Roman-Germanic law, which has several divisions on branches of law according to logical and rational schemes. , the most important and known of these being that between private and public law. This paper intends to make an inroad into the history of the Anglo-Saxon law system, as this system can only be explained and analyzed from a historical perspective, the Anglo-Saxon law being stubbornly related to its history.

THE EU COMMISSION'S PROPOSAL TO REVISE THE BRUSSELS IIa REGULATION: SHORTCOMINGS OF THE “OVERRIDING RULE”

Author(s): Sanja Marjanović / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2019

As the procedure for the revision of the Brussels IIa Regulation is currently pending in the European Union, this paper focuses on the two issues which are correlated through the so-called “overriding rule” mechanism. The first problem concerns the proceeding on the return of the wrongfully removed or retained child involving two EU Member States – the State of refuge and the State where the child was habitually resident immediately before the abduction. The second one tackles the proceeding, currently regulated in the Brussels IIa, on the rights of custody (parental responsibility) when the return of the child was refused in the EU State on the grounds of Art. 13 of the Hague Child Abduction Convention. The proposals for the revision of the Brussels IIa Regulation heavily involve these issues. In that respect, the author indicates certain shortcomings and inconsistencies of the amendments proposed by the European Commission in the Proposal to Revise the Brussels IIa Regulation (2016) and the latest compromise solutions suggested by the Presidency to the Council in the General Approach to the Recast of Brussels IIa (2018). At the same time, the paper suggests two possible ways in which the balance between the principle of mutual trust between the EU Member States and the principle of the child's best interest could be better balanced. From the perspective of Private International Law of the Republic of Serbia, the revision of the Brussels IIa Regulation is important in view of Serbia’s candidate status for EU membership and the need to keep an eye on changes to the secondary EU legislation.
