The main aim of the paper is a comparative analysis of sustainable city logistics among capital cities in the EU. In order to conduct the study the Electre III/IV method has been applied. The author has developed indicators on the basis of European statistics, national statistics of EU countries, various reports and projects. Due to the lack of data this analysis is limited to a certain extent. The Electre III/IV method allowed the author to develop the ranking of capital cities in terms of selected economic, environmental and social aspects of city logistics.

As políticas migratórias da UE são caracterizadas como estratégicas, nas quais os interesses securitários da Comunidade são priorizados. A lógica de tais políticas consiste na regulação a partir das fronteiras sob dois mecanismos dispostos em normativas comunitárias: o Acordo de Schengen e o Tratado de Amsterdã. No decorrer da Primavera Árabe, em especial, o fluxo de refugiados somou-se ao de imigrantes irregulares, denunciando as lacunas existentes na gestão das fronteiras europeias em termos estratégicos e também humanitários. O aporte metodológico utilizado da análise comparada nos permite identificar as distorções entre documento e prática no que se refere ao Tratado de Amsterdã e o Acordo de Schengen na gestão de fronteiras. Nossa hipótese é de que o aumento do fluxo de refugiados geraria uma crise institucional na qual o poder soberano se sobreporia ao poder supranacional.Abstract: EU migration policies are characterized as strategic, in which the securitization interests of the Community are prioritized. The logic of such policies is to regulate from the borders under two mechanisms set out in Community legislation: the Schengen Agreement and the Treaty of Amsterdam. During the Arab Spring, in particular, the influx of refugees added to irregular migrants, stressing the shortcomings in the management of European borders in strategic and humanitarian terms. The methodological approach used in the comparative analysis allows us to identify the distortions between document and practice regarding the Treaty of Amsterdam and the Schengen Agreement on border management. Our hypothesis is that increasing the flow of refugees would create an institutional crisis in which sovereign power would replace supranational power.Palavras-chave: União Europeia, fluxo de refugiados, gestão de fronteiras.Keywords: European Union, Refugee flows, border management. Recebido em 30 de Janeiro de 2018 | Aceito em 05 de Maio de 2018.Received on January 30, 2018 | Accepted on May 5, 2018.

Research and teaching on Europe and on the European Union (EU) have grown exponentially in recent years, both within Europe and throughout the world. There has been increased breadth and depth of conceptual development and theorising. This article considers some challenges related to teaching and researching about the EU. It attempts to elaborate some agendas for scholars, in examining possible future directions for the study of Europe, both internationally and within Australia. The article examines the development of study of the EU and discusses the development of European Studies in Australia. It argues that the study of the EU and of Europe is increasingly dynamic, drawing on a variety of disciplines and sub-disciplines, within Australia and throughout the world.

The article deals with the features of the Russian policy of agriculture support in comparison with the EU and the US policies. Comparative analysis is held considering the scales and levels of collective agriculture support, sources of supporting means, levels and mechanisms of support of agricultural production manufacturers, its consumers, agrarian infrastructure establishments, manufacturers and consumers of each of the principal types of agriculture production. The author makes an attempt to estimate the consequences of Russia’s accession to the World Trade Organization based on a hypothesis that this will result in unification of the manufacturers and consumers’ protection levels in Russia with the countries that have long been WTO members.


Objective. The purpose of the article is to compare the levels and mechanisms of food security management in Ukraine and Poland, to identify the main factors influencing the processes of its formation and to determine the directions of increasing the level of Ukraine food security. Methods. The scientific results of the study were obtained using the following methods: theoretical generalization and comparison (for the study of meaningful aspects of the definition of «food security»), analysis and synthesis (for comparative analysis of Ukraine and Poland food security levels), abstract-logical method (for establishing the links between the level of economic development of countries and the levels of their food security and determining the directions of increasing the Ukraine level of food security). Results. On the basis of a comparative analysis of Ukraine and Poland food security levels, a significant gap in Ukraine’s provision of food security has been identified. Thus, with respect to all food security components identified by FAO, except for the «use» of sanitary and safe drinking water, Poland has reached far ahead of Ukraine. It has been found that for the period 2012–2018, the value of the Global Food Security Index for Ukraine decreased by 2.1 due to a decrease in the level of affordability and availability of food, while the Polish side increased its position on GFSI by 2.8 due to the increase in affordability and availability of food in the country. It has been found that the decisive influence on the level of food security in Poland, as well as high ranking in the ranking is carried out by the EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), the implementation of the Polish Rural Development Program and significant public spending on agriculture. It has been determined that the main directions for improving the level of food security of Ukraine should be: lifting the moratorium on the sale of agricultural land; financing the agri-food sector not only through public spending but also through EU programs; creation and implementation of the National Rural Development Program; full and unconditional implementation of Government programs on EU integration; adaptation to the EU Common Agricultural Policy standards.

Since becoming mandatory in the EU in 1992, the patient information leaflet (PIL) has been the subject of an on-going discussion regarding its ability to provide easily understandable information. This study examines whether the lay-friendliness of Danish PILs has improved from 2000 to 2012 according to the Danish consumers. A reproduction of a questionnaire study from 2000 was carried out. The responses of the 2012 survey were compared to those of the 2000 survey and the analysis showed that Danes are less inclined to read the PIL in 2012 compared to 2000 and that the general interest in PILs has decreased. The number of respondents who deem the PIL easy to read has gone down. According to Danish consumers, the lay-friendliness of PILs has not improved from 2000 to 2012 and a very likely explanation could be that the PIL as a genre has become far too regulated and complex to live up to its original intentions. On the basis of the empirical results the article furthermore offers suggestions for practice changes.
