    Prevention of terrorism and compliance with fundamental legal rights and principles of law - the Dutch antiterrorism legislation
    Book | 1st edition 2011 | World | Karin Veegens

It analyses criminal liability for terrorist offences and discuses in particular the level of suspicion that is required to apply state powers to prevent acts of terrorism in light of the relevant fundamental legal rights.

  3. European Company Law, 2nd edition

    European Company Law, 2nd edition

    Organization, Finance and Capital Markets
    Book | 2nd edition 2011 | Europe | Stefan Grundmann
    Over the last decade, European company law has been re-written completely. Virtually no EU measure remained unchanged and most of them have undergone fundamental reform. This book discusses the EC/EU law first including all instruments through which it is transposed into the national law systems. However, where no EC/EU law exists, a comparative law discussion and policy aspects, namely law and economics, fill the gaps. The whole organism of (limited liability) company law is thus covered.

  4. The social security position of irregular migrant workers

    The social security position of irregular migrant workers

    New insights from national social security law and international law
    Book | 1st edition 2011 | Europe | Klaus Kapuy
    How should a State treat an irregular migrant worker who is confronted with the realisation of a social risk such as becoming incapacitated for work due to a labour accident? Should he be treated like any other worker and qualify for income replacement benefits, medical benefits and labour-market reintegration measures? Or should he be denied these benefits? This book addresses these questions and sets out proposals on how irregular migrant workers should be treated in national social security law.

  5. International Social Security Standards in the European Union

    International Social Security Standards in the European Union

    The Cases of the Czech Republic and Estonia
    Book | 1st edition 2011 | Europe | Tineke Dijkhoff
    Within the European Union, social security basically remains a national field of competence. The lack of common norms has paved the way for a large disparity in social protection between EU Member States, which is not conducive to the European single market. Moreover, it may lead to an increase in poverty and social exclusion and intensify economic competition between Member States. At the same time, almost all EU Member States are bound by one or more international social security instruments developed by the ILO and by the Council of Europe. This book analyses the international standards, followed by the case studies of the Czech Republic and Estonia.

  7. Law and Economics in the RIA World

    Law and Economics in the RIA World

    Improving the use of economic analysis in public policy and legislation
    Book | 1st edition 2011 | Europe | Andrea Renda
    The use of economics in public policy, in the form of ex ante Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA), is strongly advocated by international organizations such as the OECD and the World Bank. In the US and the EU, hundreds of RIAs are produced every year to justify public intervention in the form of regulation. But reality shows that in many other countries the adoption and implementation of this tool has been patchy at best.

  8. The Costanzo Obligation

    The Costanzo Obligation

    The obligations of national administrative authorities in the case of incompatibility between national law and European law
    Book | 1st edition 2011 | Europe | Maartje Verhoeven
    National administrative authorities are obliged to leave provisions of national law unapplied when these are incompatible with EU law. Irrespective of their position and powers under national law, national administrative authorities are supposed to comply with this so-called ‘Costanzo obligation’ as established by the Court of Justice. This raises questions of both European Union law and national constitutional law, particularly with regard to the principle of legality.

  10. International Criminal Law from a Swedish Perspective

    International Criminal Law from a Swedish Perspective

    Book | 1st edition 2011 | World | Iain Cameron, Malin Thunberg Schunke, Karin Påle-Bartes, Christoffer Wong, Petter Asp
    This book describes and analyses the Swedish legal rules and practices regarding jurisdiction, mutual legal assistance in criminal matters, extradition and the EU arrest warrant. The Swedish law and practice in international criminal law is particularly significant for two main reasons. It is a system which is both logical and coherent. It displays a considerable Germanic theoretical influence, but its sophistication is tempered by pragmatism, designed to facilitate “user-friendliness”. Secondly, the Nordic countries, because of a common history, and shared language and cultural factors, have long had a very high and effective degree of cooperation in international criminal law matters.

    The Implementation of the European Arrest Warrant in the European Union: law, policy and practice

    Book | 1st edition 2011 | World | Massimo Fichera
    This book provides a critical analysis of the principle of mutual recognition of judicial decisions in criminal matters in the EU, through a detailed assessment of its most prominent instrument, the European Arrest Warrant (EAW). It conceptualises and contextualises the lack of clear vision in the building up of the area of freedom, security and justice from an EU constitutional law, as well as a comparative and international criminal law standpoint.

  12. Social Federalism: The Creation of a Layered Welfare State

    Social Federalism: The Creation of a Layered Welfare State

    The Belgian case
    Book | 1st edition 2011 | Europe | Bea Cantillon, Ninke Mussche, Patricia Popelier
    The authors of this book critically assess the current stage of social federalism in Belgium and ask how against the background of the major challenge of an ageing population an effective social policy can be shaped. The book considers at which level the bulk of an effective social policy is best situated, what the role of the sub-national entities can be, and which limitations are imposed by the constitutional and European framework. The various forms of power allocation are considered for social federalism in Belgium.

  14. Competition and Innovation in the EU Regulation of Pharmaceuticals

    Competition and Innovation in the EU Regulation of Pharmaceuticals

    The Case of Parallel Trade
    Book | 1st edition 2010 | Europe | Claudia Desogus
    This book deals with parallel trade of pharmaceuticals from a Law & Economics perspective. In recent judgments (Bayer, Glaxo and Syfait), EU Courts questioned some of the legal principles underpinning the EU policy on parallel trade in the field of pharmaceuticals. Through the analysis of the impact that parallel trade of pharmaceuticals has on consumer welfare, both in a static and in a dynamic sense, this work examines whether the current legal approach to parallel trade of pharmaceuticals reflects the findings of economic theory, whether it should change, and, if so, on what basis this adjustment should take place.

  15. An EU-Wide Letter of Rights

    An EU-Wide Letter of Rights

    Towards Best Practice
    Book | 1st edition 2010 | World | Taru Spronken
    Everybody who is arrested or questioned by the police on suspicion of involvement in a criminal activity has certain rights, such as the right to remain silent or to consult a lawyer. This book gathers information on the way suspects in the EU Member States are informed in writing of their rights in criminal proceedings. Subsequently a normative framework has been developed based on the jurisprudence of the ECtHR to establish standards and a legal basis for information that should be given to the suspect in the initial phase of police investigations. Finally a model has been developed for an EU-wide Letter of Rights.

    A multidisciplinary inquiry into the foundations of the regulatory welfare state
    Book | 1st edition 2010 | World | Gijsbert Vonk, Albertjan Tollenaar
    Our social security systems face many challenges. Economic crises, the ageing of the population and changing employment patterns call for a reorientation of policies.
