Eu Regulation

The new EU regulation is aimed at fighting terroristic content online. Of particular importance are its provisions on special measures and assessment thereof in the light of the directive’s provisions on hosting providers’ liability for online content. EC’s radical proposals in this respect raised serious doubts in the legislation procedure. The European Parliament and the Council intended to ensure the compliance of a regulation blueprint with the directive 2000/31/WE, therefore they proposed a variety of amendments to provisions on special measures. It is, however, doubtful that these guarantee a full coherence with the regime of hosting providers’ liability. In order to tackle terroristic content effectively, it is necessary to transform the existing regime of hosting providers’ liability that was established in the directive almost 20 years ago and does not respond to problems that we currently face.

Subject Proposed reform of the EU comitology procedure. Significance The little-known ‘comitology’ procedure plays a key role in EU regulation. In recent years, this process has been breaking down as member-state expert representatives in comitology committees often abstain from voting, forcing the European Commission to take controversial decisions on its own (and accept any blame for them). In response, the Commission has proposed reforms that would pressure member states to take a position on (and hence political ownership of) controversial regulatory decisions. Impacts Government representatives, interest-group representatives and corporate lobbyists will be most affected by comitology reform. Despite adding transparency and avoiding blame-shifting to Brussels, the reforms would probably not help the EU’s image with citizens. The European Parliament might demand -- as part of any final reform package -- an increase in its involvement in the comitology process.

The Eu

Abstract At the end of May 2018, the European Commission published a proposal for a Regulation amending the SPC Regulation to introduce a specific new exception that has been called the manufacturing waiver. The objective of this Regulation is to boost the European generic and biosimilar industry and make it competitive in relation to third-country competitors and in other markets. There were three aspects of the initial proposal that could have jeopardised the objective of the new legislation: its application was deferred for up to 15 years, the exception to manufacturing was only for export and not to enter the EU market after the expiry of the SPC, and the existence of safeguards that would have forced the maker to provide sensitive confidential business information. The European Parliament and the Council were sensitive to all these limitations and proposed an important revision of the text which was finally approved as Regulation (EU) 2019/933. This article explains the rationale behind the legislation and the modifications that have been introduced in the final text, which was approved on 20 May 2019 and entered into force on 1 July 2019, to achieve the objectives pursued.

Methods Of Suicide

Abstract. Background: Information on methods of suicide is available online, and access to information on methods of suicide appears to contribute to a small but significant proportion of suicides. There is limited documentation of how methods of suicide are being profiled, as well as what content exists in other languages than English. Aim: We aimed to analyze and compare how methods of suicide are profiled on Danish and English-language websites. Method: We applied a categorization and content analysis of websites describing methods of suicide. Sites were retrieved by applying widely used Danish and English-language search terms. Results: A total of 136 English-language websites and 106 Danish-language websites were included for analysis. Websites were more often categorized as prevention or support sites, academic or policy sites, and against suicide sites than dedicated suicide sites (i.e., pro-suicide sites), or information sites. However, information on methods of suicide was available, and 20.1% and 8.9% of the English and Danish-language sites, respectively, suggested that a particular method of suicide was quick, easy, painless, or certain to result in death. Limitations: Only one author coded and analyzed all websites. A further operationalization of the content analysis checklist is warranted to increase reliability. Conclusion: The websites primarily had a prevention or anti-suicide focus, but information on methods of suicide was available, requiring an increased focus on how to diminish the negative effects of harmful online content.

Discourses are mostly used by the elites as a means of controlling public discourse and hence, the public mind. In this way, they try to legitimate their ideology, values and norms in the society, which may result in social power abuse, dominance or inequality. The role of a critical discourse analyst is to understand and expose such abuses and inequalities. To this end, this paper is aimed at understanding and exposing the discursive construction of an anti-immigration Europe by the elites in the European Parliament (EP), through the example of Kristina Winberg, a member of the Sweden Democrats political party in Sweden and the political group of Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy in the EP. In the theoretical and methodological framework, the premises and strategies of van Dijk’s socio-cognitive approach of critical discourse analysis make it possible to achieve the aim of the paper.
