AbstractThe Once-Only Principle requires the public administrations to ensure that citizens and businesses supply the same information only once to the Public Administration as a whole. Widespread use of the Once-Only Principle has the potential to simplify citizens’ life, make businesses more efficient, and reduce administrative burden in the European Union. The Once-Only Principle project (TOOP) is an initiative, financed by the EU Program Horizon 2020, to explore the possibility to enable the cross-border application of the Once-Only Principle by demonstrating it in practice, through the development of selected piloting applications for specific real-world use cases, enabling the connection of different registries and architectures in different countries for better exchange of information across public administrations. These piloting ICT systems are designed as a result of a pan-European collaboration and they adopt a federated model, to allow for a high degree of independence between the participating parties in the development of their own solutions. The main challenge in the implementation of an OOP solution is the diversity of organizations, procedures, data, and services on all four main levels of interoperability: legal, organizational, semantic, and technical. To address this challenge, TOOP is developing and testing the TOOP Reference Architecture (TOOPRA) to assist organizations in the cross-border implementation of the OOP. The paper outlines the TOOPRA users, principles, and requirements, presents an overview of the architecture development, describes the main views of TOOPRA, discusses architecture profiling, and analyses the TOOPRA sustainability issues.

Border Areas

The objective of the European territorial cooperation programme INTERREG has been financing joint projects of cross-border areas ever since 1990. Since many projects, financed in the past, did not provide longterm effects, the European Union decided to introduce the “result-driven approach” to these programmes. The realization of results will be consequently monitored during the project financing and after completion of selected projects. If one wishes to ensure sustainability also after the end of financing, the public and target groups must be actively involved in preparation and implementation of projects from the very beginning. The purpose of this paper is to present possibilities of public participation in different phases of the project. A comprehensive model of public participation was developed on the basis of research, involving the public into the sustainable life-cycle of a cross-border project.

The article examines the attraction of foreign investment in the Transcarpathian region within the cross-border region. Investment cooperation with the territories bordering the countries of the European Union - Poland, Romania, and Hungary - is analyzed. Slovakia. It is established that the most intensive cooperation is carried out in the Ukrainian-Hungarian cross-border region. In addition to foreign direct investment, Hungary provides both lending assistance and through Egan Ede's Economic Development Program, strengthening economic, cultural, and historical ties with its border areas. Using statistical methods, the inflow of foreign direct investment in the Transcarpathian region is analyzed. It is established that the total volume of foreign direct investment is 243 million US dollars, including from the countries of the European Union 225.3 million US dollars, which is 92.7% of the total. It is determined that the greatest interest among foreign investors by type of economic activity is as follows: industry - 77.3% (total), wholesale and retail trade - 5.2%, then - transport, agriculture, forestry and fisheries, construction, real estate transactions. The share of Hungarian investments in the Transcarpathian region is most significant among neighboring countries. The possibilities of using the experience of Hungary in the administrative-territorial and land reform and the possibility of applying it in territorial communities are considered. It is proposed to create an association of agricultural producers in the united communities with the participation of farmers, private farms, and foreign investors. The methodology and principles of creating the association are laid down. The study identified factors that hinder the process of investing and improving the investment climate in the cross-border region. The most important is the insufficient development of border infrastructure, inadequate institutional support for investment activities, low quality of human capital, the inertia of border business.

This article examines the extent to which the fundamental freedom of the internal market to receive trade union services in a different Member State could be relied on to enhance labour protection within the European Union. Arguing that Article 56 TFEU and the 2006 Services Directive in theory can at least play a basic role in this regard, the article offers an overview of the scope and limits of the freedom to receive services in this context. The analysis also assesses the extent to which the cross-border receiving of trade union services could be exploited further as an additional means further to contribute to the realisation of a more social Europe

When Covid-19 was acknowledged to have arrived in Europe in February-March 2020, politicians and public health authorities scrabbled to find appropriate and effective responses to the challenges. The EU obligation contained in Article 9 Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) requiring the EU (including the Member States to achieve a common protection on human health, however, seems to have been missing from the responses.) Instead, borders and their control became a site of substantial political debate across Europe as a possible venue for effective measures to limit the spread of the pandemic. While the most invasive Covid-19 measures have been within EU states, lockdown, closure of businesses etc., the cross-border aspects (limitations on cross border movement) have been important. In the European Union this had important consequences for EU law on border controls, in particular free movement of persons and the absence of controls among Schengen states. It also implicated border controls with third countries, including European Free Trade Area (EFTA and Switzerland) all states neighboring the EU, the UK (having left the EU on 1 January 2020) the Western Balkans and Turkey. While EU law distinguishes between Schengen borders where no control takes place on persons, non-Schengen EU borders, where controls take place but are limited to identity checks and border controls with third countries and external borders with third countries (non-EFTA or Swiss) the responses of many Member States and the EU institutions abandoned many aspects of these distinctions. Indeed, the difference between border controls between states (inside Schengen, the EU, EFTA, or outside) and internal restrictions on movement became increasingly blurred. Two approaches—public health and public policy—were applied simultaneously and not always in ways which were mutually coherent, or in any way consistent with the Article 9 TFEU commitment. While the public health approach to movement of persons is based on ensuring identification of those in need of treatment or possibly carrying the disease, providing treatment as quickly as possible or quarantine, the public policy approach is based on refusing entry to persons who are a risk irrespective of what that may mean in terms of propagating the pandemic in neighboring states or states of origin. I will examine here the ways in which the two approaches were applied in the EU from the perspective of EU law on border controls.

Jelen kutatás célja, hogy megvizsgálja azoknak a határ menti turisztikai projekteknek az eredményeit és hatásait, amelyek szerb–magyar viszonylatban valósultak meg a 2014 és 2020 közötti európai uniós támogatási időszakban. A vizsgálatokat részben szakirodalmi kutatással, részben pedig azoknak az interjúknak a segítségével végeztük el, amelyeket a térségre jellemző turisztikai termékekhez kapcsolódó jelentősebb projektek vezetőivel készítettünk. A vizsgálatok során azt tártuk fel, hogy a fenti projektek által kitűzött célok és eredmények hogyan és milyen mértékben segítik a Vajdaság turisztikai fejlődését. A kutatás megmutatta, hogy a projektek által érintett településeken kiugró fejlődés ugyan nem történt, azonban az uniós források nélkül ez a fejlődés kisebb mértékű lenne. Elmondható, hogy a turisztikai források mindenképpen fejlődési alternatívát jelentettek a kisebb méretű települések számára, és hogy a támogatott projektek jelentős hatást gyakoroltak egy-egy település mikroközösségének életére, a szorosabb együttműködések kialakítására. The aim of the present research is to examine the results and impacts of the cross-border tourism projects that were implemented under the Serbian-Hungarian relationship within the period of the European Union support between 2014 and 2020. Our research was carried out partly with the help of literature research and partly with that of interviews with the managers of major projects related to the tourism products of the region. The research revealed how and to what extent the goals and results set by these projects help the tourism development of Vojvodina. The research showed that although there was no outstanding development in the settlements affected by the projects, without EU funds development would have been smaller. For smaller settlements, tourism resources were definitely an alternative for development, and the supported projects had a significant impact on the life of the micro-community of each settlement, on the establishment of closer cooperation.

The complexity of borders and border area in terms of European Union, cohesion policy, implementation of cross-border program 2007-2013 in urban and rural areas of Hungary and Croatia, monitoring the impact of invested funds and their comprehensiveness, the attitude of beneficiaries of infrastructural and human resources development projects are discussed in this paper. All in the light of given possibilities and untapped opportunities that can bring significant benefits to this area. The primary survey is conducted in the observed area after the implementation of all approved cross-border projects. Besides, available data sources and implemented research in the cross-border area of Hungary and Croatia are also discussed. The paper seeks to contribute to the discourse on the subject of monitoring the overall impact of the implemented activities in the cross-border area because there are no similar studies that comprehensively approach this complex problem for areas of cross-border cooperation in the European Union.

In this communication, the effects of the economical, moreover the technical growth on the contract law is presented comprehensively. The traditional framework of the civil law contracts has been broken by the development and phenomena of market economy in our country. Furthermore the legal milieu has to go by the changed demands of the economic operators. As results of the business-like management, the large investments as well as the cross-border transactions formed more and more novel, the so-called atypical contracts in the Hungarian law. New contracting methods are linked with the technological evolution. At first, the pre-prepared model contracts came into view by the development of the mass production, additionally the digital environment vivified the possibilities of electronically created contracts. The contract law legislation of the European Union had a significant effect on the discussed field also.
