This work traces the contours of the legal status of the members of the Governing Council of the ECB using the example of the President of the Bundesbank. The study focuses on the prerequisites and the structure of the office of the President of the Bundesbank at the national and European Union level. In addition, the legal provisions governing the appointment, dismissal, and structure of the office are analyzed, detached from the substantive activities. In addition to these technical legal issues, the impact of the independence requirement on the legal status is also focused on. As a result, the unique legal status of the President of the Bundesbank is confirmed by the fact that it is anchored in two legal systems.

This chapter examines the impact of previous decisions in competition litigation, and more specifically the extent to which previous determinations on factual and legal issues are admissible, persuasive, or binding in subsequent proceedings. It begins with a discussion of prior judicial decisions, focusing on how questions relating to the application of Articles 101(1) and Article 102 of the TFEU should be interpreted with the principles laid down by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). It then considers prior infringement decisions adopted by the competition authorities, taking into account the binding nature of such decisions as well as their personal scope. It also describes the scope and extent of the infringement that is said to be binding, findings of fact and whether they are binding or not, the decisions of other national competition authorities, and the issue of penalties and the principle of double jeopardy.

”The global approach in matters of migration and mobility”, adopted by the Commission in 2011, sets out a general framework for the relations of the European Union with the third countries in matters of migration. This approach is based on four pillars: legal immigration and mobility, illegal immigration and human trafficking, international protection and asylum policy, as well as maximization of the impact of migration and of mobility on development.On 13th May 2015, the Commission presented”The European Agenda on migration” proposing immediate measures and actions to perform in the following years for a better management of migration under all its aspects. Within it, the Commission proposes orientations in four directions: reduction of factors encouraging clandestine migration; a border management aiming at lifesaving and border security; development of a sounder asylum common policy; and establishment of a new policy in matter of legal migration by modernising and revising the ”blue card” regime, by establishing some new priorities of the integration policies and by optimising the advantages of the migration policy for the aimed persons and the countries of origin. In September 2018, the Commission published a report on the progress made in the implementation of the European Agenda on migration, examining the progress and deficiencies in its implementation.

This commentary evaluates the problem in assessing the role of a causal connection between damage and the use of a defective medical product, specifically a vaccine. The judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in the Sanofi Pasteur Case, which allowed the possibility of recognizing damage claims, even in cases where the prevailing scientific theory claims that there is no scientific evidence of a causal link between a vaccination and the disease, became a base for consideration. Consequently, procedural solutions (such as the standard of proof required, the admissibility of prima facie evidence reasoning and other solutions in cases of an uncertain causation) remain to be decided by national law. The authors assessed two legal systems: the French and Polish legal systems in the context of how to resolve these dilemmas and to describe the impact of the above-mentioned judgment on the case-law of French and Polish courts as regards the application of Directive 85/374/EEC. As a result, they concluded that the most important interpretative motive has become the individual interest of the vaccination’s victim as a consumer of medical services. It seems to be in accordance with Directive 85/374/EEC, which is motivated by the necessity of approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning the liability of the producer for damage caused by the defectiveness of his products. However, since the existing divergences may distort competition and affect the movement of goods within the common market and entail a differing degree of protection of the consumer against damage caused by a defective product to his health or property, in countries belonging to the European Union, the authors wonder how the commented judgment will affect the further development of consumers protection against defective vaccines.

La construcción de la Unión Europea ha interactuado sistemáticamente con los ordenamientos jurídicos nacionales, de los que procede. El conjunto de reglas que vienen del Derecho de la UE ha desafiado las nociones básicas y las viejas categorías jurídicas construidas por los sistemas jurídicos nacionales. Este artículo analiza el impacto de la legislación de la UE sobre la importante noción de la soberanía-consustancial, en Francia, a la noción de Estado y, en segundo lugar, se examinan las consecuencias que la legislación de la UE podría producir sobre la situación de los nacionales franceses, que se han convertido, desde el Tratado de Maastricht, en ciudadanos de la Unión Europea. Los dos términos de la importante relación política, Estado y ciudadanos, se encuentran sin duda bajo la influencia del Derecho de la Unión Europea.The construction of the European Union has consistently interacted with national legal orders which it proceeds. The set of rules coming from EU Law has challenged the basic notions and the old legal categories built by national legal systems. This article considers the impact of EU law on the important notion of sovereignty - consubstantial, in France, to the notion of State and, secondly, examines what consequences the EU law could produce regarding the status of French nationals, which have become, since the Treaty of Maastricht, citizens of the European Union. The two terms of the major political relation: State and citizen, are definitely under EU Law influence.

The author comes to the conclusion that the essence of any punishment is the deprivation of certain benefits, which means the difference between the status of a person who did not conflict with the criminal law and those who entered into such a conflict. The magnitude of the difference depends on the severity of the crime.

In recent years, the law on environmental damage compensation has been a burning issue in many countries around the world, especially in developing nations where the dilemma concerns the balance between economic development and environmental protection. The issue of liability for environmental damage can be considered from many perspectives, and the focus of this study will be civil liability compensation. Learning and studying the regulations of developed countries like the European Union plays an important role in the development and improvement of environmental laws in general and the law on environmental compensation in particular for Vietnam. In this article, the authors provide insights on some legal provisions on compensation for environmental damage based on comparison with the laws of the European Union to determine how to develop legal regulations in the field of environmental damage compensation. This creates a foundation that contributes to the introduction of solutions to improve the efficiency of the law on environmental damage compensation in Vietnam.

This report concerns the activities developed by the Mental Health and Social Exclusion (MHSE) Network, an initiative supported by the Mental Health Europe (World Federation of Mental Health). We report some data from the preliminary survey done in five capital cities of the European Union (Madrid, Copenhagen, Brussels, Lisbon, and Rome). The main aim of this survey was to investigate, from a mostly qualitative point of view, the causal and supportive factors implicated in the situation of the homeless mentally ill in Europe. The results point out the familial and childhood roots of homelessness, the perceived causes of the situation, the relationships with the support services, and the expectations of future of the homeless mentally ill. The analysis of results has helped to identify the different variables implicated in the social rupture process that influences homelessness in major European cities. The results were used as the basis for the design of a more ambitious current research project about the impact of the medical and psychosocial interventions in the homeless. This project is being developed in 10 capital cities of the European Union with a focus on the program and outcome evaluation of the health and psychosocial services for the disadvantaged.
