The formation of Disinfection By-Products (DBPs) in drinking water results from the reaction of chlorine or other disinfectants added to the water with naturally occurring organic materials, and has raised concerns during the last decades because these compounds are harmful for human health. During the present work, the formation of different categories of DBPs was investigated in four water treatment plants (WTP) using chlorine as disinfectant, and in selected points of the distribution network of Athens, Greece, which is supplied from these four WTP, during a period of ten years. The concentrations of DBPs were generally low and the annual mean concentrations always well below the regulatory limit of the European Union (EU) for the total trihalomethanes (TTHMs). The haloacetic acids (HAAs) have not been regulated in the EU, but during this investigation they often occurred in significant levels, sometimes exceeding the levels of TTHMs, which highlights the importance of their monitoring in drinking water. Apart from THMs and HAAs, several other DBPs species were detected at much lower concentrations in the chlorinated waters: chloral hydrate, haloketones and, in a limited number of cases, haloacetonitriles.

The coffee plant Coffea spp. offers much more than the well-known drink made from the roasted coffee bean. During its cultivation and production, a wide variety of by-products are accrued, most of which are currently unused, thermally recycled, or used as animal feed. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of novel coffee products in the food sector and their current legal classification in the European Union (EU). For this purpose, we have reviewed the literature on the composition and safety of coffee flowers, leaves, pulp, husk, parchment, green coffee, silver skin, and spent coffee grounds. Some of these products have a history of consumption in Europe (green coffee), while others have already been used as traditional food in non-EU-member countries (coffee leaves, notification currently pending), or an application for authorization as novel food has already been submitted (husks, flour from spent coffee grounds). For the other products, toxicity and/or safety data appear to be lacking, necessitating further studies to fulfill the requirements of novel food applications.

The bioeconomy is widely understood as an economic system that combines in a synergic way both natural resources and technologies, together with markets, people and policies. There are established links between old industries traditionally based on natural resources and new ones those previously had no direct relations. As a result, one industry utilizes the by-products of another very often closing the loop of circularity. The paper describes this system in a dynamic perspective, as a complex adaptive system. Complexity results from the inter-relationship and inter-action of system’s elements and between a system and its environment. Based on the empirical evidences from the European Union it is argued that bioeconomy as a platform networking several branches of economy could adapt to the changes that take place in the environment.

Interpretation Of Change

The objective of “sustainable development” has institutional implications that deserve to be better understood. It conveys a transformative ambition that has gradually contributed to equating change with a collective purpose ideally adopted and accompanied by the relevant institutions. Focusing on the activities of government that have begun to carry out this goal, this article analyzes how rationalities, devices, and procedural arrangements merge, making change management a renewed stake in the institutional sphere. In order to understand its logics and directions, this study gives an account of this process in the initiatives of French public authorities and European Union institutions. Considering this new interpretation of “change,” it reviews the range of both programmatic and instrumental by-products that take the form of documents presented as “strategies” and the procedural bases that begin to provide support. By capturing how institutional protagonists and their potential partners have taken into consideration the issues linked with sustainable development, this article shows how this renewed form of change management contributes to an evolution in the work of public institutions and the devices they use. What is at stake is a collective relationship to change. The institutional takeover of this issue is carried out in such a way that it also induces a process of governmentalization of change.

The authors of the paper discuss the use of a legal institute of trademark in a franchise business concept. Besides addressing the economic aspects, the relevant institute is mostly analysed from the perspective of the needs of the EU Single Market and in the light of Brexit. In the article is devoted special place to the European Union Trademark (EUTM), where the author examines the most appropriate means of designation of goods and services in franchising within the territory of the EU.
