Crisis Situations

The article comprises the overview of the essential legal, administrative and financial means that the EU has at its disposal in case of rapid influx of immigrants, as well as a selection of major obstacles to the use of these tools, based on observation of the activities of the EU and its member states taken up to deal with the aforementioned situation which took place in 2015. Using the abovementioned observation and an analysis of relevant documents, it is argued that the refugee crisis of 2015 has revealed the necessity of a profound institutionalisation of the European immigration policy as the most effective way to overcome difficulties in response to such situations. The analysis leads also to the conclusion that the EU is caught in a dilemma of either suspending the Dublin system in crisis situations or creating a new system of intensive support for border member states.

Abstract Distilling industry is among the traditional sectors of the food industry. It is a significant producers of agricultural primary production and the most stable component of demand in the labour market. Among all the sectors of the food industry, however, it is subject to the greatest extent of the regulation of the business by state, when a crucial component of regulation is the legal regulation of the selection of the excise tax on alcohol. Given the considerable degree of regulation of excise taxes on alcoholic beverages by one of the secondary law of the EU, it is considered appropriate to assess the level of transposition of basic elements of excise tax on alcohol, as defined by literature, into the legal order of the Slovak Republic.

The inability of the European Union (EU) to grow has raised questions regarding the effectiveness of competitiveness and growth policies. To increase efficacy, the EU has determined that regions must undergo an exercise in smart specialization and devise a strategy for the same. However, particularly in follower regions facing severe locked-in problems and structural bottlenecks, the application of smart specialization may require adjustments and a more dynamic vision, especially with regard to the follower regions. Furthermore, many operational issues arise in the programming and policy-devising stages. This article aims to contribute to this debate by proposing a framework to guide the selection of priorities and by applying the proposed framework to the Portuguese North region.

The prescribing cascade is a risk-based algorithm that is applied on a case-by-case basis when selecting medicines that are not authorised in a given clinical scenario. It allows for the use of other veterinary medicines, whether authorised in the horse or other species, the use of human medicines from the UK and veterinary medicines from the EU or the use of specials (compounded or medicines produced extemporaneously). Its application brings with it several professional obligations and responsibilities, including the need to obtain written consent. Given the potential food-producing status of the horse, equine veterinary surgeons have additional considerations compared to those working with other species (whether farm animal or companion). Medicine selection under the Cascade must be based on valid justifications for not using authorised medicines (where available) and for the selection of subsequent steps in the Cascade. These justifications should be based on clinical need and a robust evidence base. Given that the Cascade exists to improve animal welfare, cost should not normally be considered as a reason for selecting medicines in the horse.

The objective of the paper is to present and compare the results of several international projects and to identify pedagogical and project success elements. The generic projects are few examples that had in common the several objectives: to identify the training needs; to develop an evaluation tool to transform actual and current training offered by corporate /occupational further training institutes ; to improve quality of education to meet the needs of working life. In projects, the training needs were identified involving universities, educational institutions, training and consulting companies from countries across Europe.The selection of the study cases is not random. The intent is to emphasis the consequences-by using similar approach-into distinct project methodologies: one is promoted largely by sponsors from US; the other three are according to the EU rules, regulations, and procedures.

On January 13, 1958, a special committee which had been created to draw up the general policy to be followed in carrying out a proposed fellowship program of the Organization of American States (OAS), in addition to the regular fellowships already offered by the organization and the individual governments, presented a report and draft resolution to the Council for consideration. In accordance with the temporary provision of a resolution on the general policy for the fellowship program approved by the Council of OAS on January 15, Secretary-General Mora prepared the regulations for the award and administration of the fellowships and presented them to the Council at a meeting held on June 4, 1958. At that time it was agreed that the representatives on the Council would forward the regulations to their governments and that they would also be transmitted to the Committee on the Fellowship Program for its information. The regulations stated that the Secretary-General of OAS should be assisted in the administration of the program by the Executive Director of Technical Cooperation, the Technical Secretary, and an Advisory Board. According to the regulations, an OAS fellowship was one to be granted by the organization, after consideration of the applicant's study plans, to a person with advanced training in the branch of knowledge in which he had specialized, so that he might have an opportunity to study abroad. The regulations included sections on the selection of candidates and the processing of applications, and forfeiture, renunciation, and cancellation of fellowships.

The comparative quality evaluation of sides and meat was performed after several years of selection of Large Yorkshire (LY) and Swedish Landrace (SL) pigs. The quality of carcass sides e.g. meat yield in sides, was determined in-vivo, using the PIGLOG 105, on the slaughter-line according to Regulation and using the FOM device on a number of pig carcass sides of LY and SL breed(n: LY = 48; SL = 39), and after cooling, partial dissection of left sides was applied according to procedure recommended in the EU, on a smaller number of pure breed sides (n: LY = 18; SL = 17). The investigated selection model in pure breed animals yielded rather good results regarding halves quality of both races (% of meat determined by partial dissection: LY = 57,9; SL = 57,4), while the average meat quality (M. semimembranosus) on the basis of technological characteristics (pHi, pHu, WHCu and colouru) of both investigated races was somewhat poorer and corresponded to RSE quality.
