The Impact

Abstract The paper focuses on the very topical issue of conclusion of the membership of the State, namely the United Kingdom, in European integration structures. The ques­tion of termination of membership in European Communities and European Union has not been tackled for a long time in the sources of European law. With the adop­tion of the Treaty of Lisbon (2009), the institute of 'unilateral' withdrawal was intro­duced. It´s worth to say that exit clause was intended as symbolic in its nature, in fact underlining the status of Member States as sovereign entities. That is why this institute is very general and the legal regulation of the exercise of withdrawal contains many gaps. One of them is a question of absolute or relative nature of exiting from integration structures. Today’s “exit clause” (Art. 50 of Treaty on European Union) regulates only the termination of membership in the European Union and is silent on the impact of such a step on membership in the European Atomic Energy Community. The presented paper offers an analysis of different variations of the interpretation and solution of the problem. It´s based on the independent solution thesis and therefore rejects an automa­tism approach. The paper and topic is important and original especially because in the multitude of scholarly writings devoted to Brexit questions, vast majority of them deals with institutional questions, the interpretation of Art. 50 of Treaty on European Union; the constitutional matters at national UK level; future relation between EU and UK and political bargaining behind such as all that. The question of impact on withdrawal on Euratom membership is somehow underrepresented. Present paper attempts to fill this gap and accelerate the scholarly debate on this matter globally, because all consequences of Brexit already have and will definitely give rise to more world-wide effects.

Almost All

In all EU Member States the status of people employed on job platforms is not fully legally regulated. It is necessary to consider the sources of the contemporary phenomenon of electronic employment, which is not amenable to legal regulation in the Union constituting an “area of freedom, security and justice with respect for fundamental rights” (Art. 67 (1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union). The right to work in decent conditions, with adequate remuneration, belongs to this category of rights. In the discussion on employment platforms state authorities are more inclined to consider issues related to new technologies, processes and changes caused by the development and application of modern digital technologies (digitization) in almost all areas. The headquarters of trade unions mainly discuss the legal position of employees and the role of employment platforms in employment relations in the post-industrial era. Entrepreneurs and their organizations, including private institutions and employment platforms, are interested in equal treatment by national legislators in local labour markets. They are afraid of the breach of the balance favorable to their own economic interests, caused by the public interest in the possibility of using employment in atypical forms of employment. Services consisting in employment provided under employment platforms are incomparably cheaper than identical work performed by employees employed under employment contracts.

The paper explores the issues of export control, their regulation in the law of the European Union; considerable attention is given to differences in the status of military and dual-use goods. Approaches to the harmonization of export of weapons regulation, as well as to the unification of legal provisions on the export of dual-use goods are considered. An analysis of acts of primary and secondary law governing both the movement of military and dual-use goods within the European Union and their export to third countries is carried out. The authors conclude that the European legislator uses similar mechanisms, which allows us to speak about the formation of a unified model of legal regulation in the areas under consideration. Particular attention is given to the procedure for obtaining licenses and permits within the framework of export control to the EU. The paper scrutinizes the characteristic features of customs declaration for military and dual-use goods export, and specifically analyses the procedure and grounds for the suspension of the release of such goods. The paper also discusses the features of checking permits and licenses when exporting military and dual-use goods.

The article analyzes the main provisions of the current Russian Bankruptcy Act, as well as discusses the discussion issues related to its further improvement. In addition, there is a general critical assessment of some changes in the bankruptcy law of the European Union and Germany, as well as the Russian bill on the upcoming changes to the current Bankruptcy Act. The position is to be defended that the principles on which bankruptcy law should be based are: (a) the maximum possible simplification, leading to a reduction in the time frame for bankruptcy proceedings and, consequently, the preservation of the competitive mass and the fullest satisfaction of creditors’ claims; b) Ensuring the protection of creditors’ rights and interests in a bankruptcy case on the basis of the beginning of the equality of competing creditors (of course, with exceptions).

Joint investment institutes, in particular, venture capital funds, constitute a significant part of the economies of developing countries, as they stimulate the investment of individuals and legal entities and play an essential role in the development of young companies that are building their business on the basis of innovations and innovative technologies (start-ups). In addition, the use of venture capital funds for legitimate tax optimization or as financial intermediaries within the group of companies is a very common phenomenon on the market of goods and services, in particular, in Ukraine. The activities of the venture capital funds in Ukraine as a whole are constructed in accordance with the European model, but there are still some differences and imperfect legal regulation, which is a problem in understanding the approximation of Ukrainian legislation to unified EU regulations. The subject of the article (study) is the analysis and comparison of the venture capital funds as joint investment institutes in Ukraine and EU law on the basis of the national legislation of Ukraine and the relevant EU directives. Similar studies in Ukraine are practically absent, with the exception of the thesis by Polianska I.Y. "Investors 'Rights in Joint Investments: Comparison with European Legal Models", devoted to the study of the nature of investors' rights in the implementation of joint investments and the determination of the laws of legal regulation of the status of joint investment institutes under the legislation of Ukraine and legislation of foreign countries, in particular Western European States, scientific publications Hlibko S. V. and Sydorenko YU. V. "Issues of legal regulation of investment funds in the EU", Svikhrov S.O. and Schastlyvtseva R.V. "On the necessity to bring commitments on the activity of institutional investors in Ukraine to the legislation of the European Union", Inna Lobas "Foreign experience of state support of venture investment of innovation activity". The purpose of the publication is to study the general legal regulation of activities of venture capital funds and joint investment institutes in the EU countries, to compare it with such regulation in Ukraine and to bring proposals to improve the specified legal regulation in Ukraine.

The constitutional regulation of the status of trade unions in Ukraine has incorporated all international standards and, in comparison with some constitutions of the states of the European Union, contains detailed regulation of this right. The effective functioning of the institution of trade unions can have a significant impact not only on the protection of the social and economic rights of workers in the process of interaction with employers, but also influence the public authorities in order to optimize the implementation of social policy at the national level and reduce social tension.

THE status of anti-suit injunctions in Europe has long given rise to controversy. The decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union in Case C-536/13, Gazprom OAO [2015] All E.R. (EC) 711 sheds a new light on the relationship between anti-suit injunctions and the European jurisdiction regime embodied in the Brussels Regulation (Regulation No. 44/2001 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters). In this much anticipated judgment, the Court of Justice confirmed that, by virtue of the arbitration exclusion in Article 1(2)(d) of the Brussels Regulation, Member State courts are not precluded from enforcing anti-suit injunctions issued by arbitration tribunals and aimed at restraining the proceedings before Member State courts. Although the decision was given before the Recast Brussels Regulation came into force (Regulation No. 1215/2012 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters, effective from 10 January 2015), it can be assumed that the same conclusion would have been reached under the new law.

Important Objective

This article makes a contribution to discussion on the neo-liberal reshaping of education in Western Europe. It argues for a greater attentiveness on the part of education researchers to collective social actors such as trade unions and social movements. Making use of concepts from Gramsci and from Poulantzas, it suggests that such actors had a formative role in the making of post-war education systems, and that reducing their influence is now an important objective of governments across the European Union. Focusing on educational conflict in England, France and Italy, it explores the extent to which traditions associated with post-war reform continue to possess political vitality.
