The tendency toward unification of EU countries’ national legal orders is a natural and necessary part of integration processes within the European Union. However, due to the diversity and differences of legal systems and cultures in the European states, the question of establishing a complete uniformity of material legal norms, first of all, in the field of private law, seems to be the one of a remote future. In this regard, a milestone development has been the unification of EU countries’ legal norms of private international law concerning non-contractual obligations, i. e. the adoption and entry into force of the EU Regulation (Rome II). One of the main novelties introduced therein is the principle of parties’ autonomy according to which parties to a non-contractual obligation have the right to choose the law to be applied to their relationship. The author analyzes and systemizes the limits of such a choice contained in the EU Regulation (Rome II). Parties to non-contractual obligations through the choice of applicable law can build their relationships in a way that corresponds to their goals and wishes. However, at the same time they should carefully consider all limitations of their choice of law and possible legal implications of it which are contained in the EU Regulation (Rome II).

In this article, one of the most urgent topics of the development of legislation on consumer rights protection in the UK is being considered. UK legislation on the protection of consumer rights, especially in connection with the forthcoming withdrawal of Britain from the European Union has a number of features. The law "On the Rights of Consumers", adopted in 2015, made it possible to analyze and highlight a number of features in the field of consumer protection in the UK, namely, the allocation of absolutely new standards applicable to the new type of services-digital content. By researching this topic, the author shows the emerging contradictions between the legislation of the European Union and the United Kingdom in the field of consumer protection, where the UK, against the backdrop of Brexit, analyzing the new Directives adopted by the European Union to retain a single legal space tends to unify the norms of the law "On the Rights of Consumers".

Citizenship as a Commodity – of Golden Passports and the European Union “Golden passport” schemes are increasingly gaining popularity around the world. Meanwhile, this trend has also reached the European Union. It now threatens to lead to a partial commercialisation of both national citizenship and the European citizenship. This contribution examines the evolution of national citizenship law through “golden passports” and addresses the question of the compatibility of such programs with the law of the European Union. It thereby reveals the difficulty of reconciling the sovereignty of member states in matters of nationality with the principle of sincere cooperation in the EU.

Chapter 3 shows that the confluence of the law of the European Union and of the European Convention on Human Rights is a European legal order worthy of the name. It outlines the law of the European Union after the Lisbon Treaty, setting out its principles and the ways in which competences are shared in the EU post Lisbon, between the European Council, the Council, the Commission, the European Parliament, and the Court of Justice of the European Union. The chapter further sets out the outline of the system of rules of the European Union. Then the chapter turns to the characteristics of what has been termed a Europe of human rights, and how the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), in conjunction with domestic courts, police the law of the European Convention on Human Rights. Finally, the chapter brings together the law of the European Union and the ECHR.

Evaluation of changes in the value and structure of public aid in Poland and EU during the years 2007-2012 was the objective of the paper. The data from reports by the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection as well as data from the State Aid Scoreboard published by the European Commission based on the information provided by the Member States concerning that aid was used. In Poland, evident increasing trends of the horizontal aid value can be observed. In 2012, as compared to 2007, it increased by 0.5 billion euro to the level of 1.64 billion euro. Its share in the total value of support oscillates within 55-60% range. In the European Union that share is generally at the level of 70-74%. In Poland, the sectoral aid is limited gradually although its magnitude still differs from the Union standards. In 2012, the share of that aid was relatively small at ca. 14% while in the EU it was 12.9%. The regional aid is at the similar level both in Poland and in the EU oscillating around 20%. However, in 2012, the share of regional aid in Poland increased to the level of 26% and it was higher by 8 pp than the share of that aid in the EU. Significant differences are characteristic for the share of the aid in the GDP. During the period covered by the study the largest differences occurred in 2010 when the share of support in Poland was 1.7% of the GDP and in the EU 0.6% of the GDP. In 2012, a half of the public aid in Poland was allocated to large enterprises.
