This chapter discusses three primary roles of comparative law in EU law. First, comparative law is used in the making and application of European law: for example, in the crafting and interpretation of European legislation and in the case law of the European Court of Justice. Second, European law has exerted a significant influence on other legal systems. A third role of comparative law relates to questions about the very nature of European law: how it is to be classified, or whether it is a novel form of ‘transnational law’. Civil and common law systems are also considered in relation to comparative law, along with the ‘components’ or ‘sources’ of European law: treaty provisions and constitutional principles, EU legislation, general principles of law, international law, and case law of the Court. The chapter concludes with an overview of the distinction between private law and public law, a comparison of EU and federal systems, and a survey of other transnational systems inspired by the European Union model.

This chapter examines the internal composition, internal powers, and internal procedures of the European Parliament, the European Council, and the Council of Ministers. It begins by looking at the role of the separation-of-powers principle in the European Union. Unlike the US Constitution, the EU Treaties do not discuss each institution within the context of one governmental function. Instead, each institution has ‘its’ article in the Treaty on European Union, whose first section then describes the combination of governmental functions in which it partakes. The European Treaties have thus ‘set up a system for distributing powers among different [Union] institutions’. And it is this conception of the separation-of-powers principle that informs Article 13(2) TEU. The provision is thus known as the principle of interinstitutional balance.

The use of dogmatic-legal, empirical and linguistic semantics methodology is focused on sharing for better understanding of the law. Therefore, views on European jurisprudence have been presented in the paper. Without a doubt, the law-making nature of European Union law takes into account the field of environmental protection. Articles in law define the tasks that are important from the point of view of European legislation. The written nature of these determinants of the reasoning of the possibilities of environmental protection plays an important role in the interpretation of environmental law.

LABURPENA: Trantsizio energetikoa gaur egun dugun erronka nagusienetako bat da; beraz, ikatzik gabeko sektore elektrikoa garatzeaz gain, sistema energetikoa aldatu behar da, eredu demokratikoago baten alde, non energia-sorkuntza banatuak paper garrantzitsuagoa izango duen. Ikerketaren helburua da aztertzea nola dagoen gaur egun, Espainian, energia banatuaren eta autokontsumoarenarloko araudia, zeina etengabe aldatzen baita, eta konparatzea Europak proposatutako erregulazioarekin (Energiari eta klimari buruzko “Neguko Paketea”). Europar Batasunak dagoeneko ekin dio autokontsumoa eta sorkuntza banatua bultzatuko duen trantsizio energetiko jasangarri eta justurako bideari. Espainiako indarreko araudia, berriz, alderantzizko norabidean joan da orain arte; baina, izapidetze-fasean dagoen erregulazio berriak aldaketa garrantzitsu bat dakar: kendu egin dira autokontsumoari ezarritako karga ekonomikoak eta oztopo administratiboak. Sorkuntza banatua gehiago garatzetik datozen abantailek erakusten dute beharrezkoa dela Espainiako legeriak autokontsumoa bultzatzea. ABSTRACT: The energy transition is one of the greatest challenges of our time and it means, besides the necessary decabornification by the electric sector, to change from an energy model to a more democratic one characterized by a more assertive role of the generation of energy distributed. The objective of this study is to analyze the current state, and the continuous evolution of the Spanish regulaton in terms of distributed generation and energy self-supply and to compare it with the European regulatory proposal adjusted in the “Winter package” about energy and climate. The European Union has undertaken a path towards a sustainable and fair energy transition which helps the self-supply and distributed generation. The Spanish normative up until now moved in the opposite direction; nevertheless, the new regulation, at this time under consideration, takes an important new route by removing the provision of economic burdens and administrative hurdles to self-supply. The advantages that emanate from the promotion of a greater development of distributed generation confirm the need to bolster self-consum in the Spanish legislation. RESUMEN: La transición energética es uno de los mayores desafíos de nuestro tiempo y supone, además de la necesaria descarbonificación del sector eléctrico, el cambio del sistema energético hacia un modelo más democrático, caracterizado por un rol más incisivo de la generación de energía distribuida. El objetivo del estudio es analizar el estado actual, y en continua evolución, de la normativa española en materia de generación distribuida y autoconsumo energético y compararlo con la propuesta regulatoria europea modelada en el «Paquete de invierno» sobre energía y clima. La Unión Europea ha emprendido un camino hacia una transición energética sostenible y justa que favorezca el autoconsumo y la generación distribuida. La normativa española hasta ahora vigente iba en sentido contrario; sin embargo, la nueva regulación, actualmente en fase de tramitación, realiza un importante cambio de ruta, eliminando la previsión de gravámenes económicos y trabas administrativas al autoconsumo. Las ventajas que proceden del fomento de un mayor desarrollo de generación distribuida confirman que es necesario un impulso del autoconsumo en la legislación española.

The aim of the contribution is to analyse the current state of the supporting sectors within the creative industries, to identify and quantify the role of the supporting sectors in the Slovak economy. In the European union, there are huge expectations associated with the creative industries. Based on the following findings, we can conclude that the low level of external investments is caused by the low possibility to get the loans. There is no relation between the regional density of supporting sectors’ enterprises and the economic results reached by these regions.

Strained judicial interpretation of British discrimination law is not new;some of the leading House of Lords cases on the European Union law doctrine ofIndirect Effect have concerned discrimination law. The interpretative obligation, toread national law in line with EU law, has seen words read in and like being treatedwith like according to changing mores. However, the disability discrimination caseof EBR Attridge Law v Coleman [2010] I.C.R. 242 saw an entire sub-section beingread in by an Employment Appeal Tribunal. This article briefly reviews the Houseof Lords’ approach in earlier cases, primarily through the prism of discriminationlaw, and then asks, following more recent Employment Appeal Tribunal casesconcerning pregnancy discrimination and the protection from victimisation withinthe Equality Act 2010, whether the high-water mark for judicial re-writing has beenreached in Britain and whether compliance with European law can better be attainedin other ways.
