by Allegra Canepa, Federico Ferretti e Francesca Mattassoglio

~~145,75€~~ 131,18€ 10% OFF

 As digital technologies and models propel data to the centre of economic and social experience, new EU directives, regulations, legislative proposals, and policy strategies attempt to deal with the unprecedented challenges that come in the wake of digital expansion.

For practitioners, policymakers, and academics concerned with the legal impact of technology, this comprehensive description of the policies, regulatory techniques, and key features of EU digital markets law will greatly facilitate their approach to the emergence of digital markets with awareness of applicable rules and procedures.

Digital Bouncers - A European Roadmap To Navigate Access Rights And Moderation Issues On Social Media Platforms

by Berdien B. E. Van Der Donk

~~117,93€~~ 106,14€ 10% OFF

 Online content moderation is a well-known phenomenon. However, no consistent pattern exists on how it is done or how it is legally dealt with. This book addresses the complex issue of questionable content removals and account suspensions on social media platforms in the European Union, solving the existing legal ambiguity with a powerful roadmap designed to guide decision-makers in navigating online access rights and moderation issues.The roadmap s elements are deduced from a technology-neutral comparative case law study of four Member States (Denmark, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands) based on rigorous selection criteria that highlight the most salient distinctions that characterise legal approaches to social media access and moderation. The layers of the roadmap focus on such central issues as the following:the legal basis for social media platforms to impose restrictions;platform operators right to shape access, including limitations to the platform s right to exclude users;the validity and enforceability of terms of service; andusers and platforms remedies for breaches of the terms of service, including the procedural obligations in the Digital Services Act.Unlike previous work on the topic, this book does not focus on one field of law but touches upon and combines European law, constitutional and fundamental rights law, competition law, equality law, property law, and contract law, all reflected on and assessed through both a European and a national lens. By addressing these multifaceted legal aspects, it offers a holistic approach to resolving content moderation challenges and demonstrates which problems are most effectively addressed by which fields of law.The book s roadmap can be used within the European Union to address and/or resolve any access and moderation problems on social media platforms. It will serve as a valuable resource for judges, social media platforms, and dispute resolution bodies, providing practical insights and guidance in navigating this complex landscape and streamlining decision-making processes. It will prove of immeasurable value in fostering a balanced and fair approach to content moderation in the EU that will ensure that all European users have equal opportunities for redress.

Fixing The Euro Within The National Constitutional Guardrails - A Comparative Assessment Of The National Constitutional Space For Eu (Fiscal) Integration

by Frederik Behre

144,43€ + 10% CARD

 EU fiscal integration is indispensable to establishing a stable single currency in the long run. However, this integration is proving ever more difficult in light of increasing national constitutional opposition. The author of this groundbreaking book shows that this dilemma between EU fiscal integration and national constitutional limits can be refuted. He provides a structured, comparative overview and outlook on how the available national constitutional space can be adapted to the political aspirations aiming at implementing EU fiscal integration steps while at the same time effectively protecting the national constitutional values at stake.Beginning with a macro-comparative assessment of Finland and Germany - two countries which have comprehensively dealt with Eurocrisis-issues in largely contrasting constitutional ways - and continuing with a comparative assessment of the specific French, German, Polish, and Spanish constitutional (identity) limits, EU fiscal integration steps are tested against the charted national constitutional space to determine their attainability. The resulting overview identifies best practices that can be employed to locate constitutional space for EU fiscal integration while enhancing the protection of core constitutional principles. The analysis addresses such specific areas as the following:<ul><li>constitutional red-line limits vs. flexible or mutable constitutional approaches to EU fiscal integration;</li><li>strict constitutional identity limits that formulate obstacles to the attainment of EU fiscal integration;</li><li>how national constitutional authorities perceive and portray the EU in their respective approaches;</li><li>integration measures as an increase in the impact of sovereign powers vs. loss of autonomous decision-making;</li><li>application of national constitutional frameworks during the Eurocrisis;</li><li>ex ante constitutional review and ex post judicial scrutiny in representative Member States;</li><li>national budgetary responsibility and fiscal autonomy;</li><li>emergency budgetary instruments; and</li><li>funding options for fiscal integration.</li></ul>The analysis throughout highlights the important role EU integration plays in stabilizing core national constitutional values in light of such complex challenges as the COVID-19 pandemic, the current Russian war of aggression against Ukraine and the required common defence strategies, but also climate change and digitalization.In its innovative response to the urgent challenge of feasible EMU reforms to stabilize the euro, this book displays how national constitutional systems can address EU (fiscal) integration in a more flexible and yet more effective manner, how EU integration steps can engage with national constitutional concerns in a more structured manner, as well as specifically hownational parliaments can be integrated and play a decisive role even when budgetary and fiscal powers are conferred at the EU level, thereby identifying a future model for EU cooperation in politically important competence areas. It thus offers a constructive outlook on achievable fiscal integration steps which will prove of inestimable value to lawyers, judges, and policymakers at the national and EU levels.

Public Law In A Troubled Era - A Tribute To Professor Patrick Birkinshaw

164,30€ + 10% CARD

 Public law, which examines relations between governments and institutions and individuals, has, in recent years, become deeply disturbed by an erosion of the rule of law, notably in some of the world’s most professedly democratic nations. In this book of edited essays, many of the world’s leading public lawyers draw on examples from the United Kingdom, European States, and the European Union (EU) to explore the alarming tensions unleashed as Europe is rocked by Brexit, the war between nations on the EU border, and the worldwide phenomenon of populist resistance to globalised forces and liberal democratic aspirations.The book is dedicated to Professor Patrick Birkinshaw, who until his retirement was Director of the Institute of European Public Law and Professor of Public Law at the University of Hull and widely respected as a leading authority on public law. With a focus on public law and European public law jurisprudence with hugely important global ramifications, the contributions continue his work and crucially deal with the new and troubling shape of the law-politics relationship. The essays examine these developments under four headings:<ul><li>Law in a World Turned Upside/Down, with essays on (e.g.) Brexit, the denial of human rights and the rule of law in Hungary, climate change governance;</li><li>Law and Politics: A Shifting Boundary?, showing how advances in the courts have prompted reaction to curtail judicial review and human rights protection, especially evident in the fading mirage of fair trial rights and administration on the EU periphery;</li><li>Law’s Promise, specifying real achievements in the way of reform and higher levels of security for individuals; and</li><li>New Bearings, exploring initiatives and emerging problems, including reform of judicial review, the European Banking Law, digitalization of public administration, and institutional interactions with the Chinese 1982 Constitution.</li></ul> The book brings together leading university professors, public officials and judges, all experts in their respective fields. All are concerned with a central role for law in the process of governance. This unrivalled volume penetrates the contradictions, uncertainties, and insecurities that plague this topic of worldwide interest and debate, and will prove invaluable to practitioners, public administrators, jurists, judges and legal academics everywhere. It will also be of interest to political scientists and politicians. In its completely original and innovative discussions of the changes taking place at the interface of law and politics, and of how law can enhance certainty and reliability in governance, this book provides a most detailed and insightful analysis of the new bearings in public law in Europe and worldwide.

Solidarity: A Normative Principle

by Guido Alpa

113,95€ + 10% CARD

 The term solidarity has acquired a commendable meaning of mutual responsibility, yet remains suspect because it has been invoked in too broad a spectrum of cultural contexts, ranging from fascist ideology to human rights. This essential book shows how solidarity may be - should be - conceived as a normative principle with pressing legal content, instrumental to the realisation of the social ends of today’s democratic polities. The author, for the first time in such depth, documents the interweaving of legal norms with social ideas and values, focusing on the use of the principle of solidarity in the European Union’s bodies and in its Member States. There are detailed examinations of how the principle appears in such realms as the following:<ul><li> national constitutions;</li><li>welfare systems;</li><li>regulation of contracts;</li><li>social effects of legal rules;</li><li>women’s rights;</li><li>the social market economy;</li><li>the social doctrine of the Catholic Church;</li><li>affirmation of corporate social responsibility; and</li><li>sustainability and corporate governance.</li></ul> The author describes how each context contributes to a meaningful elaboration of the concept of solidarity, thus synthesising and extending prior work on the subject. Following Kant’s dictum that the solidarity of mankind is a ‘to be or not to be; a matter of life or death’, in today''s difficult and calamitous times it is appropriate to rethink the principle of solidarity as the reason for living, living fully and not just surviving, in a social agglomeration we call a community. Decoding solidarity, in order to fully understand its potentialities, misrepresentations, and mystifications has therefore become a task entrusted to jurists. For this reason, this matchless book will prove invaluable for lawyers, judges, and policymakers, all of whose professions demand authoritative knowledge of the legal relations among individuals and among legal entities.

Gdpr: Personal Data Protection In The European Union

by Mariusz Krzysztofek

176,23€ + 10% CARD

 GDPR: Personal Data Protection in the European Union Mariusz Krzysztofek Personal data protection has become one of the central issues in any understanding of the current world system. In this connection, the European Union (EU) has created the most sophisticated regime currently in force with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679. Following the GDPR’s recent reform - the most extensive since the first EU laws in this area were adopted and implemented into the legal orders of the Member States - this book offers a comprehensive discussion of all principles of personal data processing, obligations of data controllers, and rights of data subjects, providing a thorough, up-to-date account of the legal and practical aspects of personal data protection in the EU. Coverage includes the recent Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) judgment on data transfers and new or updated data protection authorities’ guidelines in the EU Member States. Among the broad spectrum of aspects of the subject covered are the following: - right to privacy judgments of the CJEU and the European Court of Human Rights; - scope of the GDPR and its key definitions, key principles of personal data processing; - legal bases for the processing of personal data; - direct and digital marketing, cookies, and online behavioural advertising; - processing of personal data of employees; - sensitive data and criminal records; - information obligation & privacy notices; - data subjects rights; - data controller, joint controllers, and processors; - data protection by design and by default, data security measures, risk-based approach, records of personal data processing activities, notification of a personal data breach to the supervisory authority and communication to the data subject, data protection impact assessment, codes of conduct and certification; - Data Protection Officer; - transfers of personal data to non-EU/EEA countries; and - privacy in the Internet and surveillance age. Because the global scale and evolution of information technologies have changed the data processing environment and brought new challenges, and because many non-EU jurisdictions have adopted equivalent regimes or largely analogous regulations, the book will be of great usefulness worldwide. Multinational corporations and their customers and contractors will benefit enormously from consulting and using this book, especially in conducting case law, guidelines and best practices formulated by European data protection authorities. For lawyers and academics researching or advising clients on this area, this book provides an indispensable source of practical guidance and information for many years to come.

 GDPR: Personal Data Protection in the European Union Mariusz Krzysztofek Personal data protection has become one of the central issues in any understanding of the current world system. In this connection, the European Union (EU) has created the most sophisticated regime currently in force with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679. Following the GDPR’s recent reform - the most extensive since the first EU laws in this area were adopted and implemented into the legal orders of the Member States - this book offers a comprehensive discussion of all principles of personal data processing, obligations of data controllers, and rights of data subjects, providing a thorough, up-to-date account of the legal and practical aspects of personal data protection in the EU. Coverage includes the recent Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) judgment on data transfers and new or updated data protection authorities’ guidelines in the EU Member States. Among the broad spectrum of aspects of the subject covered are the following: - right to privacy judgments of the CJEU and the European Court of Human Rights; - scope of the GDPR and its key definitions, key principles of personal data processing; - legal bases for the processing of personal data; - direct and digital marketing, cookies, and online behavioural advertising; - processing of personal data of employees; - sensitive data and criminal records; - information obligation & privacy notices; - data subjects rights; - data controller, joint controllers, and processors; - data protection by design and by default, data security measures, risk-based approach, records of personal data processing activities, notification of a personal data breach to the supervisory authority and communication to the data subject, data protection impact assessment, codes of conduct and certification; - Data Protection Officer; - transfers of personal data to non-EU/EEA countries; and - privacy in the Internet and surveillance age. Because the global scale and evolution of information technologies have changed the data processing environment and brought new challenges, and because many non-EU jurisdictions have adopted equivalent regimes or largely analogous regulations, the book will be of great usefulness worldwide. Multinational corporations and their customers and contractors will benefit enormously from consulting and using this book, especially in conducting case law, guidelines and best practices formulated by European data protection authorities. For lawyers and academics researching or advising clients on this area, this book provides an indispensable source of practical guidance and information for many years to come.

General Principles Of European Community Law

229,23€ + 10% CARD

 This book is based on a selection of papers presented at the Conference in Malmu, Sweden, which was organized by the Swedish Network for European Legal Studies in cooperation with the Faculty of Law of the University of Lund. The purpose of the conference was to analyze general principles and their scope in the EU legal order with special emphasis on their role in the creation of a "jus commune europaeum". The impact of the general principles of Community Law at the national level was analyzed and also how these principles have been transformed into the national legal systems. Also discussed was the creative process behind the shaping and further development of the general principles and their application. Due to their complex nature, the general principles offer a more or less unlimited field for theoretical legal studies. At the same time, the general principles play a very important role in legal practice, not least when used as instruments for the protection of individuals and firms against too far-reaching measures taken by the European institutions or Member States.

Communications In Eu Antitrust Law - Market Power And Public Interest

by Antonio Bavasso

280,90€ + 10% CARD

 Approaching the theme from an antitrust perspective and focusing on telecommunications and television broadcasting, this volume examines how traditional European competition law doctrines and principles can be applied to this converging sector. The application of antitrust rules to the communications sector is often one of the most controversial areas of law and policy. The shift towards a more competition law oriented form of regulation is one of the main principles inspiring the recent reform of European sectorial regulation enshrined in the 2002 Electronic Communication Package. The Package was adopted in 2002 and is in the process of being implemented throughout the Union. This monograph provides a detailed description of the new regulatory package and highlights the interplay between regulatory provisions and EC competition law. It then follows the pattern of a typical antitrust analysis containing chapters on the definition of relevant market in the sector and various forms of abuses of market power. The book also critically examines the Commission''s practice and policy in the field of merger control and considers its relationship with wider regulatory policies. Finally it analyses the sector from the perspective of the ''European'' public interest and the changed nature of communications as a public service.

Nationality Discrimination In The European Internal Market

by Gareth Davies

169,60€ + 10% CARD

 Despite the high-flown rhetoric of civil society in recent decades, it cannot be denied that discrimination is still with us; it has merely gone ''underground''. In the European project, and particularly in the etiology of the EC Treaty''s commitment to the free movement of persons, defenders of national sovereignty are often also defenders of inequality.Here is an utterly fresh approach to this all-important issue that exposes, in rigorous and well-informed detail, a polity that defines discrimination correctly but then refuses to see it where it occurs. Nationality Discrimination in the European Internal Market approaches the law of free movement from a point of view that is regrettably uncommon: neither that of market integration, nor that of Member State sovereignty within the Union, but that of the individual dignity subsumed in the state-citizen relationship.</ul>Focusing on the relevant caselaw of the European Court of Justice Gareth Davies shows that the law of cross-border movement in Europe can and should be guided by the principle of non-discrimination; that, despite inconsistencies in its judgments, and a tendency to retreat to the neutral language of economics, the Court is ''haunted'' by the discriminatory principles inherent in formalistic European legal systems. Its jurisprudence will ultimately restructure them to impose respect for difference and equality before the law.</ul>Specific issues treated in depth include the following:<li class=copymedium>the definition and use of discrimination by the Court of Justice<li class=copymedium>implications of free movement law for welfare provision, including health care and education<li class=copymedium>the application of Community law to internal situations, resulting in ¿reverse discrimination<li class=copymedium>the legality of privately created obstacles to free movement.</ul>Practitioners, policymakers, academics, lawyers and political scientists interested in the larger, longer-term purposes of the European Union¿to change and open up in order to avoid repeating the past destructive patterns of behaviour of the Member States¿will find in this insightful and well-researched study a source of inspiration and a well-positioned foundation for an energetic and prosperous Europe based on individual freedom through equal rights.Review(s)''It is rare for a book to go over a well-trodden theme and yet manage to remain fresh and inspiring. This should definitely be on the reading list of anybody with an interest in the internal market.''Nick Bernard, European Law Review''The book is a well-researched in-depth study on the prohibition of discrimination; while the author builds on a well-established body of black letter law, he succeeds in adding appreciably to the standard corpus of free movement law.''Common Market Law Review

Optimal Enforcement Of Ec Antitrust Law - Essays In Law &Amp; Economics

by Wouter P.J. Wils

225,25€ + 10% CARD

 The enforcement of the EC antitrust rules is currently the subject of much discussion. The existing system for the enforcement of Articles 81 and 82 EC has been widely criticised as inadequate. Several changes have been introduced recently, and further reforms have been proposed, but the search for a coherent and effective enforcement regime remains unfinished.Combining an in-depth examination of the law with a systematic economic analysis, Wouter Wils provides clear and illuminating answers to the major questions concerning the modernisation of EC antitrust enforcement: <li class=copymedium>Should a notification system be maintained, or should the antitrust rules be enforced exclusively through deterrence? <li class=copymedium>What are the respective roles of the European Commission, the national competition authorities and the national courts? <li class=copymedium>At what level should fines be set? <li class=copymedium>And is there a need to criminalise EC antitrust law by introducing individual penalties, in particular imprisonment?Practitioners, officials and academics will find in this timely book a wealth of information on the existing enforcement practice and on the pending proposals for reform, as well as a rigorous intellectual framework that will structure and clarify current and future debate on the modernisation of EC antitrust enforcement.

Police And Justice Co-Operation And The New European Borders

by Joanna Apap

261,03€ + 10% CARD

 When we consider the ideal of the `family'' of nations implied by the European Union, it seems unnatural to deal with the question of where Europe''s borders lie. Yet the question is urgently raised by grave issues of internal and external security. As the European Union''s imminent eastward and southern expansion becomes reality--side by side with the evolving new emphasis on security spawned by the events of September 11, 2001--we must be sure that the Schengen norms remain viable. It is also crucial to take full account of the impact of the enlarged European Union on the non-candidate countries of Eastern Europe.This important book takes the position that trust is the essential ingredient. Fourteen distinguished authors reveal various ways of achieving a level of trust among the members of the enlarged European Union adequate to the need for full freedom, security, and justice. The contexts in which trust must be established include police and judicial cooperation; the fight against terrorism, organized crime, and human trafficking: the latent threats to freedom of movement posed by national responses to increased immigration; and the transparent extension of EU Justice and Home Affairs measures to the candidate countries.The authors include political actors, policymakers, advisers, experts, and researchers from all parts of Europe. Their individual and collective contributions, in each case built solidly on thorough analysis of the relevant issues, bring a wide range of profound and wide-reaching insights to a vital subject. The book is of great significance not only for those charged with law enforcement and security, but also to all academics and policymakers concerned with the future of Europe.

Regulating Content - European Regulatory Framework For The Media And Related Creative Sectors

170,93€ + 10% CARD

 A complex network of regulatory systems has arisen around the provision of media in Europe. In this connection regulating content is a focal point, as content is not only of economic but of vital cultural importance. At Community level a wide variety of measures have been taken to promote this branch of industry, especially in fields in which new and innovative digital technologies are used to enhance the market potential of content and creative products and services.This important book focuses on regulatory interventions in the content industry under Community law. It offers an in-depth perspective on the functioning of the European legal framework for the content industry, its guiding principles, and its explicit and sometimes more fluid interface with policy areas falling largely into Member States competences. In this aspect the book can also be read as an analysis of the impact of the cooperation between European and Member State regulation when economic as well as social, democratic, and cultural policy goals are at stake.Among the areas of content regulation covered are:<li class=copymedium>legal definitions related to the content industry; <li class=copymedium>branches of the content industry broken down according to content category and distribution system; <li class=copymedium>the division of competences between the EC and the Member States in cultural affairs;<li class=copymedium>Community projects relevant to the content industry; <li class=copymedium>competition rules relating to distribution; <li class=copymedium>market entry and access regulation in the electronic communication markets; <li class=copymedium>specific regulation for such considerations as the protection of minors, protection of health, protection of consumers, and protection of personal rights; <li class=copymedium>ensuring and safeguarding functioning market structures in the content markets; and <li class=copymedium>harmonization and coordination measures. </ul>The basis of this book was a research project commissioned by the Austrian Federal Chancellery in preparation for a seminar supported by the European Commission in connection with Austria¿s Council Presidency in the first half of 2006. As a systematic overview and analysis of the legal bases of European content regulation, this book will be of extraordinary value to practitioners, policymakers, officials, and academics in the fields of media and communications law. Beyond that, the work sheds a clear and defining light on an area that has an important role to play in the future economic growth and the development of a competitive business environment in Europe.

Regulation Of Subsidies And State Aids In Wto And Ec Law - Conflicts In International Trade Law

by Gustavo E. Luengo HernáNdez De Madrid

321,98€ + 10% CARD

 Regulating subsidies in international trade is crucial to the efficient and equitable allocation of resources and ultimately to global welfare. Much of the serious instability that persists in today''s interdependent world may be traced to government interventions that dilute or defy such regulation. In this in-depth analysis of subsidies and State aids, Gustavo Luengo details the regulatory elements that reveal how governments undertake the granting of support to their national industries. Although in theory such support is aimed at two overriding economic objectives - the elimination of harmful distortions, and the correction of market failures - he shows that in practice it is political contexts that determine the principles and objectives of the regulation of subsidies. The analysis focuses on two mature regulatory systems, those of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the European Communities (EC). The author describes both legal frameworks, and then proceeds to examine the differences and conflicts between the two systems, along with their reasons, consequences, and possible solutions. Significant aspects of the regulation of subsidies that emerge from the analysis include the following: <li class=copymedium>the role of ''countervailing measures''<li class=copymedium> the EC notion of ''State aid'' as developed by the European Commission and the European Court of Justice <li class=copymedium>procedures for controlling subsidies under both systems and the consequences of granting subsidies in violation of applicable rules<li class=copymedium>the elements of ''financial contribution'' and ''benefit'' under the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (ASCM) <li class=copymedium>actionable and non-actionable subsidies <li class=copymedium>agricultural subsidies in both systems<li class=copymedium>the role of WTO dispute settlement procedures Both for its clear and comprehensive overview of the regulation of subsidies and State aids and for its insightful recommendations, this book will be welcomed as a major contribution to the field of international economic law. Practitioners, policymakers, officials, and academics will all find it enormously valuable for its analytic depth and its direct applicability to the need to develop fair and enforceable regulation of subsidies and State aids.

Takeover Law In The Eu And The Usa - A Comparative Analysis

by Christin M. Forstinger

190,80€ + 10% CARD

 The societal benefits of takeovers-in the form of enhanced competition and productivity-have been well documented. Moreover, many scholars believe that the very possibility of a hostile takeover urges incumbent management to be more productive, thus ultimately enhancing shareholder welfare. Starting from such premises as these, Dr. Forstinger offers an in-depth comparative analysis of takeover law as it exists in the United States and as it is currently developing in Europe. The latter emphasizes the failed takeover directive of 2001, as its content is already determining new proposals currently in preparation.Among the salient topics that arise in the course of the discussion are the following:<li class=copymedium>the conflicting interests of the various stakeholders-shareholders, managers, employees, creditors, governments, ''raiders'', and others; <li class=copymedium>the state competition question from the U.S. perspective and the prospects of a market for incorporations in the EU; <li class=copymedium>the tension between harmonization and regulatory competition in context with takeover laws; and <li class=copymedium>the focus on current takeover regulation in the UK, Germany and Austria. The study concludes with recommendations for reflexive harmonization of takeover law in the European Union responding to the complex needs of the diverse corporate law systems of the member states. All company lawyers and corresponding regulators--especially but not exclusively in Europe--will appreciate the clear scholarship and thought that are apparent in this very current book.
