The paper presents the results of the empirical researches of public opinion in Russia, Byelorussia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan about the creation of the new state community ("Slavic Alliance"), that is the creation of the "common economic area". The analysis of the acquired results reveals a certain feeling of self-sufficiency among the inhabitants of Russia who were not ready for new integrations, but also the existence of the dilemma with whom to integrate. Among the inhabitants of Byelorussia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan three variants were obtained: the first - with Russia, the second - with the European Union, and the third option advocates non-integrated behaviour, that is maintenance of state independence.

During the past nine years, co-operation in criminal matters within the European Union has developed in a rather fascinating way. Before the Maastricht Treaty, which entered into force in 1993, there was not much co-operation in this area at all.During the time before Maastricht, the focus was on the creation of the internal market, on the rules on competition etc. and criminal law did not fall within the scope of the Treaties. Thus, although Community law had (and has) some implications for national criminal law and despite the fact that some conventions were agreed upon within the European Political Co-operation one cannot really say that criminal law questions were formally on the agenda before Maastricht.

In this article, the author presents established models of association of the European Union (EU) with European third countries. She shows their different strategic perspectives, outlines benefits and problems, and examines the potential for developing these relations. Basically, these can go in the direction of expanding or dismantling partial sectoral integration. In addition, new basic forms of EU neighbourhood relations are discussed: the introduction of a new status of partial membership in the EU and - inspired by the European Economic Area - the creation of a European political and economic area.

Abstract In the territory of the Slovak Republic, the transportation of goods from east to west is carried out in Eastern Slovak Trasnsshipment. The transportation of goods in direct international rail transport between the Slovak Republic, the Russian Federation, and Ukraine is carried out through the border crossing points Čierna nad Tisou – Čop and Maťovce – Užhorod. These border crossing points are places on a broad-gauge and standard-gauge railway, wherer loading, unloading, and reloading of goods from wider gauge wagons to narrower gauge wagons shall be carried out. There is also a shift of transport mode from SMGS to CIM and other services associated with this transport. An important document affecting the functioning of the single railway market is the Customs Code of the European Union and its provisions. It should be noted that the Common Economic Area of the European Union is also the common customs area of all the Member States. In the case of the cross-border international rail transport organisation, there are no control services due to the customs clearance of the goods. For carriers and customers, this means easier process organisation thanks to the provisions of the Customs Code.

The article discusses the issues of creating a common economic zone with the countries of the Common Economic Space by comparing this economic area to the area of the European Union. Analysis of contracts for its establishment is for consideration, as well as the pluses and minus of the implementation of the grant agreement on the CES industrial countries. A comparison of these two economic zones with similar economic problems will enable the future of their cooperation.

This article discusses whether IAS/IFRS should be used as a starting point in the context of the Common Corporate Tax Base in the European Union. Non-European countries may also have an interest in the analysis on the use of IFRS to compute the corporate tax base, as well. After a background discussion on the application of IAS/IFRS as the start point for a tax base, some principles of tax bases are analyzed. Additionally, the disadvantages and advantages of using IAS/IFRS as the start point are presented. In the end, the creation of an independent tax accounting framework is recommended, which should have as the primary purpose taxation, and taxpayers and governments as the users of the information. In this new arena, the IAS/IFRS should be a valuable toolbox of concepts that can be adjusted for a tax perspective.

This chapter examines the creation of the customs union to ensure free movement of goods within the European Union (EU), discusses the relevant provisions of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). The chapter considers the significance of the common customs tariff applicable to all imported goods from outside the EU and explains the prohibition on customs duties and on discriminatory taxation. It also explains that the prohibition on discriminatory taxation serves to prevent Member States from circumventing the prohibition on customs duties by discriminating against imports via their internal taxation system. The chapter also highlights criticisms of the Court of Justice’s (CJ) approach to customs duties and measures having an equivalent effect.

Promoting values of the European Union has been on the EU’s external trade agenda since the 1990s. The Treaty of Lisbon established a general framework for values and principles, requiring the Union to pursue these concepts in the whole range of EU external relations, including the Common Commercial Policy (CCP). Therefore, the operation of CCP is governed not only by traderelated concepts such as progressive liberalisation, but it also reflects on non-trade concerns – e.g. protection of human rights, fair trade, or sustainable development – as well. This inclusive character of CCP is anchored also in the new external trade strategy of the European Union (‘Trade for all’), which stresses the importance of trade agreements concluded by EU in promotion of values towards third countries. The paper aims at addressing a conceptual and a procedural question related to this context: First, what kind of values of the European Union integrated in trade agreements can lead to the Europeanisation of domestic legal order of the third countries; and second, how these concepts can be implemented, i.e. how the process of Europeanisation is taking place using the example of the human rights promotion.
