Povzetek Članek skuša predstaviti relativno celovit pregled dejavnikov, ki so pripeljali do Stalnega strukturnega sodelovanja, dejanski politični postopek, vključno s pravnimi določili, ki so omogočili notifikacijo v EU in v Sloveniji ter pogoji, ki bodo morali biti izpolnjeni, da bo PESCO uspešen. Decembra 2017 so članice EU, po več kot šestih desetletjih usklajevanja in dogovarjanja, naredile korak naprej in aktivirale manj vidne člene Lizbonske pogodbe ter s tem vzpostavile strukturno sodelovanje na obrambnem področju. Glavni namen PESCA je nadaljnja integracija in poglobitev sodelovanja na varnostnem in obrambnem področju. S priključitvijo PESCU so države članice potrdile svojo pravno zavezujočo odločitev da bodo izboljšale učinkovitost na področju koordinacije in sodelovanja, obrambnih investicij, izgradnje zmogljivosti in operativne pripravljenosti. Ključni dejavniki, ki bodo prispevali k uspešnosti PESCA so ohranjanje obrambnih in varnostnih vprašanj visoko na evropski politični agendi in izpolnjevanje prevzetih obveznosti. Ključne besede: Stalno strukturno sodelovanje, Evropska unija, Slovenija, obrambna industrija, obrambni proračuni Abstract This article aims at providing the reader with a fairly comprehensive overview of the conditions that had lead to PESCO, actual political process, including legal provisions, of getting PESCO notified in the EU and in the Republic of Slovenia. Also, the authors analyse conditions that need to be met for PESCO to be successful. Ever since the Second World War, the European Community has been struggling to form closer ties in the area of defence. One of the major breakthroughs took place in December 2017 when Member States activated one of the less publicized articles of the Lisbon Treaty and established a permanent structure in the area of defence. The main purpose of PESCO is further integration and strengthening of cooperation in the field of security and defence. By joining PESCO, Member States have confirmed their legally binding commitment to improve efficiency in regard to coordination and cooperation, military investment, capability development and operational readiness. For PESCO to be successful, it is crucial that the EU keeps defence issues at the top of the European political agenda as well as that Member States carry out their commitments.

The EU F-gas regulation of 2006 and the recast of 2014 are forcing the market to reduce the use of refrigerants with high global warming potential (GWP). As a result, the production of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants with higher GWP decreased, making the prices of all HFC gases to increase. Any maintenance problem in a refrigeration system asks to evaluate the retrofitting of the gas making necessary to know the expected behaviour of the system. This paper aims to discuss the gases that can substitute the now-a-days HFCs, and the impact the retrofit will cause in a real air-conditioning systems. Many studies on retrofit address the behaviour of the refrigeration cycle, but usually, do not take into account the behaviour of the system as a whole. This paper models a water-to-water air-conditioning system taking into consideration the evaporator and condenser heat exchangers, the refrigeration cycle, the air-conditioning loop and the heat exchanger to the acclimatized area. Moreover, the paper studies the performance of the system when subjected to high condensing temperatures. The paper concludes that all possible retrofit solutions need to use flammable gases that make the refrigeration power of the equipment to reduce.

The paper presents an inside evaluation of the EuroPsyT project, funded by the EU Leonardo Program in 1999-2001. While standard research usually neglects to reflect on the internal and external constraints and opportunities under which research results are achieved, the paper stresses exactly those aspects: starting from a brief description of the overall objectives of the 11 countries project, the paper proceeds to describe the macro-context and the internal strengths and weaknesses of the project team, the internal procedures of cooperation,. and obstacles encountered during the research process. It winds up in noting some of the project's achievements and with a look towards future research.
