Právní aspekty spolupráce Evropské unie se zeměmi skupiny AKT / Legal aspects of cooperation between the EU and ACP countriesPšenka, Lubomír January 2011 (has links)
Legal aspects of cooperation between the EU and ACP countries The origins of the EU cooperation with the group of Sub-saharan African, Caribbean and Pacific countries (ACP Group) date back to the very beginnings of the European integration with Part IV of the Treaty of Rome establishing association of the former colonies of the several founding member states to the European Economic Community. After the colonies gained their independence, their association to the EEC was given a basis of the international law by means of the conventions from Yaoundé (1963, 1969) and Lomé (1975, 1980, 1985, 1990 - revised in 1995). The cooperation between the EC/EU and ACP countries has progressively evolved into a comprehensive partnership encompassing the political, development and economic cooperation. The relations between the EU and 78 ACP countries are actually ruled by the Cotonou Partnership Agreement (2000, revised in 2005 and 2010) which is to be in force until 2020. The EU-ACP partnership constitutes a specific system of international law and probably can be described as the most comprehensive relationship between developed and developing countries. In many ways, the cooperation with the ACP countries represents a special case in the field of the EU external relations and, due to a specific historical...

Role rozpočtu EU v kontextu probíhajících reforem / The role of the EU budget in the context of the ongoing reformsFialková, Veronika January 2009 (has links)
The diploma thesis The role of the EU budget in the context of the ongoing reforms assesses the functioning of the EU budget and considers the question of what changes should bring the ongoing budgetary reform. The thesis analyses the problems of functioning of the existing budget, both on the expenditure and revenue side, and also within the budgetary procedures. The main problem is seen in the discrepancy between the structure of the expenditure and the priorities of the EU. Among other problems are listed the fragmentation of expenditure to a large number of goals, unsuitable character of revenue resources, insufficient flexibility and inadequate setting of some of the decision processes linked to the budget. The thesis focuses on the budgetary reform and debates its possible outcomes, which will shape the financial perspective for the period after 2013. The thesis examines different reform options from a complex point of view. It considers the reform proposals from the European Commission, independent academics, research centers and think tanks, and also from the point of view of the Member States' governments. The thesis assesses these proposals in the context of the EU's present priorities, to which belong above all the goals set in the Europe 2020 strategy, and in the context of the effectiveness of public spending in a multilevel government structure. The thesis concludes that the reform should transform the budget into a flexible instrument for achieving EU's priorities financed from autonomous EU revenue resources.

In the Yugoslav Mirror: The EU Disintegration CrisisBecker, Joachim January 2017 (has links) (PDF)
The Yugoslav and the present EU integration crisis display several parallels. In both cases, the integration models have proved to be unable to attenuate the uneven
development patterns, and the state has been characterised by strong confederal elements.
Deep economic crisis strengthened in both cases the centrifugal tendencies. The political discourse became increasingly dominated by the question "who exploits whom?". While central authorities pursued policies of neo-liberal structural adjustment eroding its legitimacy
among the popular classes, the republican authorities in Yugoslavia, respectively, the national governments in the EU tried to shift the burden of the crises to the others and
strengthened their role during the crisis management. With the deepening of the crisis, constitutional reform became an issue in Yugoslavia. In the Yugoslav case, the various
proposals proved to be irreconcilable. In the EU, a debate on its future shape has begun as well. This issue is highly controversial. In the EU, a key problem is the relationship between euro zone and non-euro zone states. Such an institutional divide did not exist in Yugoslavia.
It is significant that the leading state of the non-euro zone group, the UK, is the first state to exit the EU. A key question is whether the EU has already passed the critical point where a deep reform is still possible.

Europa från två horizonter : En komparativ studie av två länders EU bevakningGustafsson, Robert, Dintica, Raluca January 2009 (has links)
<p>Abstract</p><p>The study examines the European Union coverage in a Swedish and a Romanian newspaper during three different weeks. The aim is to answer the question of how the different countries portray EU and what quality there is on the information the readers or users receive from the papers. How the media portrays the European Union is an important topic to study when it comes to democracy. The European Union makes a lot of national decisions and controls a lot of our daily politics so it is important that the people get relevant and good information.</p><p>Sweden joined the European Union in 1995 after a referendum where only 52, 3 percent of the Swedish population wanted to join and then only if the European Union acknowledged Sweden’s wish to remain neutral. Romania’s on the other hand joined the European Union in 2007 after long negotiations. The country had to improve a lot of social and economical problems before they were aloud to join. When they finally did join the European Union together with Bulgaria they did so under the strict conditions that they would fight the corruption and other problems harder.</p><p>The theories we used was: normative theory, media effect theories, framing, medialogic, gatekeeping and europeaness. The previous studies we were inspired by was Vanni Tjenströms “Europa Norrifrån” (2001), Ulf Wallin´s “ Vad vi fick veta” (1994) and Göran Palm´s “I marknadens och nationens namn” (2002).</p><p>With this study we could discover that the Swedes view the European Union mostly like a profit organization and the economical part of the membership was very important. The view the Swedes had of themselves was a very positive one. They thought that their living standards were much better than that of other citizens in other countries in the EU. The Romanian people see the union more like a hope for the future but they see themselves as failures.</p>

Is a Delaware effect developing within the European Community?Sandberg, Roger, Abramsson, John January 2008 (has links)
The inner market of the European Community is developing and as a part of this company law and the freedom of establishment are doing the same. Some of this development is carried out through case law from the European Court of Justice as well as through Community harmonisations. As this has happened some worried voices has been raised arguing that a development similar to that in the USA, known as the Delaware effect, might occur. There has been some development indicating such development; companies have made use of the freedom of establishment to seek a more favorable legislation and Member States have changed and adapted their legislations. An example is the lowering of the minimum paid-up capital for limited liability companies that has oc-curred. In this paper the Delaware effect is investigated in order to clarify what it is and how it has developed. This knowledge is vital to be able to se if a Delaware effect might be developing within the European Community. There has been a large discussion on the Delaware effect in the USA and it is evident from that discussion that there are scholars arguing in several directions and that it is in-conclusive whether or not the Delaware effect is detrimental to shareholders, companies and others. In this paper it is argued that, as it is questionable what the Delaware effect en-tails in the USA it is even more questionable to talk about a Delaware effect within the European Community. The Member States are to some extent re-stricted, due to Community harmonisations, as to what they can do in order to compete for incorporations. Companies are also hampered in their attempts to make use of the freedom of establishment, especially companies already incor-porated in a MS. It is also argued that there is a lack of incentives and possibili-ties for both Member States and companies to facilitate a competition for company law. Adding these components together, the preconditions within the European Community are not suitable for a Delaware effect or a European Community Delaware to emerge. The continued development of the freedom of establish-ment along with the companies increased understanding of its benefits might create incentives to seek more favorable legislations, but it is highly unlikely that a Member State will emerge to be as successful as Delaware.
