Concession agreement and concession procedure The aim of this thesis is to analyse the valid legal regulations concerning the concession procedure and concession agreements that form the legal framework of the PPP projects in the strict sense, and to identify its key issues. The first chapter of this thesis concerns both the European and Czech sources of law relating to the concession procedure. On the European level, the role of primary law is being considered, followed by the sources of secondary law and the influence of decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Union. On the domestic level, the thesis is focused on the regulation contained in the Concession Act, specific kinds of concessions regulated in special acts and on explanation of the relation between the Concessions Act and Public Procurement Act. Chapter two examines the relevant concepts of law, which determine the personal and substantive scope of the concession procedure with accent on the definition of the concept of "concession", resp. concession agreement, and basic principles which originate from the European primary law and apply both to the concession procedure pursuant to part II of the Concessions Act as well as awarding concessions that are not subject to the regulation in the Concessions Act. Chapter three analyses...

En milieu vodoun, l’espace et son contenu appartiennent à Dieu et aux dieux, avantles hommes. Le vodoun est dans la nature et les marqueurs végétaux, les dieux-objets, lesterritoires aquatiques et autres en font un marqueur spatial prégnant.Les concessions ouvertes et fermées en milieu urbain comme en milieu rural constituent desterritoires non corruptibles et des hauts-lieux imprégnés d’identité, d’histoire et de religion.Cette collusion d’hommes, de territoire et de sacré fait aussi de la concession familiale uneforteresse imprenable. Il se pose alors en matière d’aménagement, le problème des espacesbloqués, inviolables et inaliénables. Le vodoun influence véritablement l’occupation del’espace et se pose comme un facteur incontournable dans les actions qui visent à donner uneautre configuration à des espaces déterminés. Le mode de production de l’espace en milieuvodoun est spécifique et reste lié au sacré. On comprend alors pourquoi les conflits mondemoderne et milieu traditionnel, de même les raisons pour lesquelles les acteurs de lagouvernance s’activent pour des relations et une collaboration apaisées entre les différentsacteurs de la société. Le vodoun est aujourd’hui une culture à la croisée des chemins, prêtcomme toujours à s’adapter, mais pas à tout céder. Les remparts mis en place pour assurer sesarrières sont énormes et l’un des plus sûrs et des plus solides est l’Homme. L’Homme prisdans un rapport social de communication au point de s’aliéner totalement et de se confondreau territoire qui l’a vu naître. / Space and its components belong to God and gods before men in “vodoun” beliefareas. “Vodoun” exists in nature such as in plants, in god-objects, in watery spaces and others,thus testifying of spatial resonances.Opened and closed family houses in urban and rural areas are non- corrupt territories and highspots carrying a strong sense of identity, history and religious belief. Due to the collusion ofmen, the space they live in and the sacral, the place in which the family inhabits is like anunbreakable fortress. Therefore, environmental planning in “vodoun” belief areas isconfronted to a problem as far as those locked, sacral and inalienable spaces are concerned.“Vodoun” practice has a real impact on how space and places are being designed, and itcannot be ignored by those who plan on modifying a designated area. The way space is dealtwith by “vodoun” is specific and remains linked to the sacral. This explains the conflictsbetween modern and traditional ways of life, and it is also the reason why leaders strive tomaintain peaceful relationships and collaboration among the main organized forces in society.Today, “vodoun” culture is at a crossroads ; it is willing to adapt but it is not ready to give upon everything. The ramparts built to secure “vodoun” practices are huge and one of the mostreliable and strong is Man. Being caught in public relation exercises, Man totally trappeshimself and cannot distinguish himself from the place he was born.

The goal is to identify the forms of termination, the mechanisms established by law to do so, as well as the consequences that present themselves right after the extinction of the contract. It also intends to present and organize all the possibilities that are available to the Public Administration at the conclusion of a concession pact, in order to maintain the provision of an adequate public service, as defined by constitutional force. Therefore, first it s necessary to verify all the details of the concession contract, defining its purpose and its fundamental clauses, without which it s inconceivable to have complete comprehension of the subject. Afterwards, aware of the contractual assumptions, it s feasible to discriminate the ways that the contract can be extinct and its causes, with the respective reflection in the rights of the service provider, as well as the granting authority. Finally, knowing the forms of contract termination, it´s mandatory to analyze how the provision of public services might continue; from the possibility of extending the same contract already in place, to the transfer of this obligation to agencies or government entities or, even, the event of a new process of selection of a concessionaire, through bidding, which is the instrument able to provide the specific choice of best proposal and best bidder. / Esta dissertação tem como objetivo o estudo e o aprofundamento de todo o arcabouço jurídico pertinente à extinção dos contratos de concessão de serviço público, bem como a viabilidade de prorrogação desses mesmos contratos. Busca-se verificar as formas de extinção, os mecanismos criados por lei para tanto e as consequências que se apresentam no momento posterior a extinção do contrato. Também visa apresentar e organizar todas as alternativas que são postas à Administração Pública quando do encerramento do contrato de concessão como meio de manter a prestação dos serviços públicos de forma adequada, mister definido por força Constitucional. Para tanto primeiro é preciso verificar as minúcias do próprio contrato de concessão, definindo seu objeto e suas cláusulas fundamentais, sem o que não é possível a compreensão completa do tema. Após, já conhecendo das premissas contratuais, é necessário passar à verificação das formas que pode se dar sua extinção e quais as causas delas, com os respectivos reflexos nos direitos do prestador dos serviços, bem como do Poder Concedente. Finalmente, conhecendo as formas de extinção do contrato, é preciso realizar a análise da forma de continuidade da prestação dos serviços públicos, passando pelas hipóteses de prorrogação do próprio contrato já firmado, até o repasse dessa obrigação para órgãos ou entidades da Administração Pública ou através da realização de nova seleção de concessionária por via licitatória, qual o instrumento apto a propiciar a seleção da melhor proposta e a escolha do melhor proponente.

Este trabalho compreende a análise e avaliação dos critérios de adjudicação de portos e terminais introduzidos pelo novo marco regulatório do setor portuário brasileiro. O objetivo principal consiste em avaliar se a aplicação na prática desses critérios deverá levar ao alcance dos objetivos da alteração do marco regulatório, a partir da MP 595/2012, depois convertida na Lei 12.815/2013: o aumento da oferta de capacidade e a redução dos custos portuários. A metodologia empregada consiste principalmente na revisão bibliográfica e na análise documental dos instrumentos legais e infralegais que regem o tema, bem como das minutas de editais e contratos dos primeiros arrendamentos de instalações que se prevê licitar sob os novos critérios de adjudicação. Dada a previsão de adoção de regulação econômica em parte significativa dos novos arrendamentos, discutem-se também aspectos da competição portuária e formas de regulação. Aborda-se ainda, resumidamente, outros aspectos que foram alterados a partir da MP 595/2012, especialmente a flexibilização dos requisitos para a outorga de autorização a terminais de uso privado e a centralização dos processos de arrendamentos nos órgãos setoriais (SEP e ANTAQ), em detrimento das autoridades portuárias. Conclui-se que os critérios de seleção a serem utilizados na prática em novos arrendamentos, a maior capacidade efetiva de movimentação e a menor tarifa, embora alinhados com os objetivos iniciais do novo marco regulatório, apresentam riscos à efetiva consecução desses objetivos. Enxerga-se um risco maior no caso das licitações com base na menor tarifa, em que a ausência de pisos para as tarifas nos leilões torna operadores verticalizados os vencedores naturais do processo nesse caso, a menor tarifa ofertada não deverá, na prática, resultar em menores custos aos usuários, já que a redução do valor no leilão pode ser repassada a outro elo da cadeia. / This study comprises the analysis of the criteria to be used in the concession of seaports and seaport terminals under the new Brazilian ports law. The studys main objective is to analyze if the application of these criteria will lead to the objectives that governed the change in the ports law, introduced by the Provisional Measure 595/2012, after converted in Law 12.815/2013: the increase of port capacity and the reduction of port costs. The methodology applied was mainly the research of the bibliography of the subject and the documental analysis of legal and infralegal instruments that govern the issue in Brazil, as well as the drafts of the bid documents of the first seaport terminals to be conceded under the new criteria. Aspects of port competition and regulation are also discussed, given the forecasted adoption of tariff regulation in a relevant part of the new port terminals concessions. The study also approaches other aspects that the Provisional Measure 595/2012 has changed, especially the reduction of the requirements for private terminals to be authorized and the centralization of seaport terminals concession procedures, which were former responsibilities from the Port Authorities, in federal bodies (SEP and ANTAQ). The conclusion of the study is that, despite being aligned with government initial objectives, the criteria to be applied highest throughput commitment or lowest tariff offer risks to the effective achievement of these objectives. The risk is higher in the bids based on the lower tariff, in which the absence of floors for the tariffs make vertically integrated players the natural winners of the bidding process in this case, the lower tariff offered will probably not result in lower costs for port users, once the reduction in the port tariff can be passed on to other links of the chain.

Companhia, publicada originalmente em inglês no ano de 1980, é uma narrativa construída na fronteira entre imaginação e enunciação por um sujeito solitário que, deitado de costas no escuro, fabula continuadamente em busca de companhia. Ela se inclui entre as narrativas de Samuel Beckett cuja trama se passa no espaço mental de seus protagonistas, na região comumente chamada de manicômio do crânio. Conhecida por características que a mantêm distante dos esquemas teóricos universais, apresenta uma abundância de programas narrativos que se anulam uns aos outros, resultando num forte clima de incerteza implicado na situação desse homem deitado de costas no escuro, protagonista da história. Contribuem para esse efeito, também, o emprego de anáforas, que não remetem a nenhuma referência segura; a hipóstase dos papéis actanciais, em que actantes se fazem passar por atores; a estruturação dos parágrafos, distribuídos sem relação lógica explícita que os articule uns aos outros; a articulação de determinados eixos semânticos (como luminosidade, solidão, subjetividade, silêncio, entre outros) sob ótica de uma sublógica da língua, que estabelece o primado das relações complexas sobre as articulações da significação pautadas em dicotomias. Com base na teoria semiótica francesa, a presente pesquisa procura demonstrar que esses elementos, que em Companhia promovem o efeito de incerteza, são decorrentes de operações sintáxicas meticulosamente organizadas pelo enunciador beckettiano. Constituem, portanto, procedimentos discursivos que, apesar do forte clima de incerteza vi mencionado, podem ser descritos por meio de análise, especialmente na articulação de sua dimensão figurativa com a dimensão profunda, a figuralidade. Ao longo da análise (desenvolvida na Segunda Parte da tese), procuramos acompanhar o contraponto das diferentes vozes entrelaçadas na trama, sem deixar de considerar os conteúdos dos episódios narrados pela voz na segunda pessoa gramatical. Desse modo, o conflito das vozes responsáveis por estabelecer o ritmo e a tensividade na narrativa está diretamente relacionado com o conteúdo desses episódios, formulados pela voz na segunda pessoa, na forma de fragmentos biográficos desarticulados uns dos outros. Por fim, ao investigar algumas questões de ordem fenomenológica envolvendo o protagonista de Companhia, apresentamos uma possível perspectiva do enfoque figural em outras obras representativas do discurso literário do século XX. / Originally published in English in 1980, Company is a narrative built on the border between imagination and enunciation by a loner who, lying on his back in the dark, continuously fables in search of companionship. It is among the narratives by Samuel Beckett whose plot takes place in its protagonists mental space, in the region commonly referred to as the madhouse of the skull. Known for features that keep it distant from universal theoretical frameworks, it presents an abundance of narrative programs which nullify one other, resulting in a strong atmosphere of uncertainty involved in the situation of the man lying on his back in the dark, who is the protagonist of the story. Also contributing to this effect, there is the use of anaphoras, which do not refer to any secure reference; the hypostasis of actancial roles, in which actants pose as actors; paragraph structure, distributed without explicit logical connection that articulates one in relation to the other; the articulation of certain semantic axis (such as luminosity, loneliness, subjectivity, silence, among others) under the light of a language sublogics, which establishes the primacy of complex relationships in opposite to the articulations of signification based on dichotomies. Based on the French semiotics theory, this research seeks to demonstrate that those elements, which in Company promote the effect of uncertainty, result from syntactic operations meticulously organized by the Beckettian enunciator. They, therefore, constitute discursive procedures which, despite the strong atmosphere of uncertainty mentioned, can viii be described by means of analysis, especially in the articulation of their figurative dimension with the in-depth dimension, that is, figurality. Throughout the analysis (developed in Part II of the thesis), the attempt was to follow the counterpoint of different voices intertwined in the plot, while considering the content of the episodes narrated by the voice in the second grammatical person. Thus, the conflict of the voices responsible for setting the narratives pace and tensiveness is directly related to the content of these episodes, formulated by the voice in the second person, in the form of disjointed biographical fragments. Finally, in order to investigate some phenomenological issues involving the protagonist of Company, a possible perspective of the figural focus on other works representative of the literary discourse of the 20th century is introduced.

1 Název diplomové práce v anglickém jazyce, abstrakt v anglickém jazyce a 3 klíčová slova v anglickém jazyce Legal aspects of PPP projects realization Abstract The aim of this diploma thesis is to investigate the legal area of PPP projects regulation and their potential use in the construction of highway infrastructure in the Czech Republic. The inadequate state of Czech highways and search for new financial resources opened again the topic of private capital use through PPP. PPP is an abbreviation for public-private partnership where a public service or specific infrastructure is provided by a private partner. The first part explains the characteristics of PPP projects and their possible advantages and disadvantages as well as a brief description of historical development and distribution of public- private partnerships into the common types used. The second part illuminates the legal aspects of realization by the individual phases of implementation. It starts with a selection process, deciding on what the project will be financed from. Furthermore, it is necessary to specify in the contract the rights and obligations of the parties. This is also associated with risk allocation. The next stage its the actual realization with which the treatment of risks, that have already occurred, is related. In addition,...
