La coopération réglementaire dans l’Accord Canada-Europe : vers une éventuelle convergence des normes?Momcilovic, Nadja 05 1900 (has links)
Les divergences réglementaires entre les États constituent aujourd’hui l’un des obstacles majeurs à l’échange de biens et de services à travers le monde et nuisent à la compétitivité sur le marché international.
Cette étude vise à analyser les nouvelles tendances dans le domaine des traités de libre-échange et à étudier le concept de la coopération réglementaire à laquelle font référence certains instruments juridiques de régulation économique modernes. Nous nous concentrerons sur le cas de l’Accord économique et commercial global (AECG) étant donné sa contemporanéité et son entrée en vigueur progressive.
La première section considèrera le cadre réglementaire établi par le l’Accord Général sur les Tarifs Douaniers et le Commerce (GATT) et l’Organisation mondiale du commerce (OMC).
La deuxième section se penchera sur l’étude du concept de la coopération réglementaire et des mécanismes juridiques qui sont généralement employés afin d’atteindre une convergence normative.
La troisième section examinera de près l’AECG, en passant par l’historique des négociations entourant sa mise en œuvre ainsi qu’une analyse détaillée de ses chapitres et dispositions les plus pertinents à notre étude.
Dans la quatrième et finale section, nous chercherons à élucider l’apport des accords de libre-échange de troisième génération, et plus particulièrement du vent de changement qu’ils ont insufflé aux relations commerciales contemporaines, avec leur apport en matière d’intégration réglementaire. / Regulatory divergence between States represents one of the major barriers to the exchange of goods and services across the world and undermines competitiveness in the international market.
The goal of this research is to examine emerging developments in the field of free trade treaties (FTAs) and to study the principle of regulatory cooperation, as set out in a number of modern economic regulatory instruments. We will focus on the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) given its novelty and gradual coming into effect.
The first section will consider the regulatory framework established by the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and the World Trade Organization (WTO).
The second section will examine the concept of regulatory cooperation and the legal mechanisms that are commonly used to achieve normative convergence.
The third section will take a closer look at CETA, including an analysis of the history surrounding its implementation, as well as a thorough review of the chapters and provisions most relevant to our study.
In the fourth and final section, we will aim to explain the contribution of third generation free trade agreements, particularly in regard to their contribution in terms of regulatory integration.

...And Reconcile Us With Evil : A Critical Investigation of the Imagery of Good and Evil in Western Religion, Film and PoliticsGellrich, Arne L January 2016 (has links)
With an eye on the current social and political situation in Europe, and with regards to the so-termed refugee crisis, this study aims to map the discourse on assumed good and evil shared among Western cultures, as represented by Sweden, Germany and the United States. The thesis takes its point of departure from essayistic reflections of the philosophical tradition and theological and religious analytical positions respectively. These are then followed by two investigative main chapters, designed along the lines of Norman Fairclough’s approach to critical discourse analysis (CDA). The first of these chapters studies the narratives of good and evil employed in the mainstream cinema of the past ten years in the mentioned countries. The second analysis is made up of three case studies, in turn looking at similar narratives in the campaigns of the two main competitors in the 2016 presidential race, a German protest movement against free trade agreements, and the everyday political communication of Swedish Facebook users. In a final chapter, findings from all four preceding chapters are brought together in an attempt to sketch an image of the congruences and discrepancies of narratives on good and evil in the overall discursive field. The thesis finds that the discursive field shared by the three investigated societies is largely homogenous, with certain imagery permeating all analysed orders of discourse. Many of the reoccurring images are however likely rooted in the human psyche and therefore less dependent on discourse practice. Furthermore, certain principles are agreed upon in theory while not reproduced in social practice. Themes assigned to either good or evil often seem to take on secondary functions next to assumed fixed identities of in- and out-groups. Being a qualitative study, this thesis aims at giving an overview and delivering a base for further investigations rather than providing definitive answers.

Appeal mechanisms and Investment Court Systems in Investor-State Dispute Settlement : An analysis of AM and ICS suggestions, in light of contemporary reformDrakopoulos, David January 2021 (has links)
We begin with a short analysis of the history of Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS). We then discuss the merits and demerits of the regime, such as the arguments between finality, speediness, and correctness. Following from this, historical reforms are discussed, and whether those issues have gotten worse or better since these discussions. The modern problems are discussed, leading to the explanation of the “legitimacy crisis”. As Appellate Mechanisms (AM) and Investment Court Systems (ICS) both propose multi layered systems, we argue whether ISDS must be a “one bite at the apple” system. We expand on the issues of regulatory chill, before showing the contradictions in the granting of awards. From this, a discussion is raised on the advantages of a tenured system of adjudicators, particularly in reference to their apparent bias. We delve deeper into the direct consequences of the perceived issues of ISDS, in the context of human rights, the environment, and other issues of sovereignty.As more reforms are suggested, the question of “what makes arbitration, arbitration?” is raised. From here, we may begin to suggest reforms based on which key factors are to be preserved. Firstly, we discuss current reform options, such as the Mauritius Convention. We take inspiration from existing AM, and prior discussions on the implementation of such a system across the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) and United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) frameworks. We analyse whether these discussions have led to change by comparing trends in drafting.Thereon, we offer suggestions of reform. ICS and how this would be implemented, what it would look like structurally, and its positive and negative effects. Using the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) and other contemporary ICS reform suggestions, we gain some knowledge of what an ICS regime could and should look like, the implementation of AM previously discussed in this regime, and other. Finally, we offer a different solution to the problems, yet less pragmatic, the termination of arbitration.

Ochrana investic v Evropské unii / Investment Protection in the European UnionOlík, Miloš January 2017 (has links)
1 Abstract This dissertation deals with investment protection in the European Union from several points of view. The first part deals with the history of investment protection and its main basis and grounds for current legislation and proposals for future regulation, particularly within the EU. In subsequent parts, current legislation and intra-European Union investment protection is analysed in detail, including the question of validity and applicability of Intra-EU BITs, i.e. bilateral treaties concluded between two EU Member States. The analysis is made from the perspective of EU law, as well as from the point of view of public international law. The dissertation further deals with their relationship and demonstrates contradictions between them in two crucial cases, Eureko/Achmea and Micula. Additional themes of this dissertation are the powers of the European Union regarding investment protection and the conclusion of international treaties such as CETA and TTIP. This dissertation further deals with the status, jurisdiction and functioning of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), demonstrating the relatively smooth and widely accepted investment dispute settlement mechanism. In this regard, the proposed EU Multilateral Investment Court project in analysed, including a...

Mezinárodní dohody o ochraně investic a právo Evropské unie / International Investment Agreements and European Union LawFecák, Tomáš January 2015 (has links)
The relationship between international investment agreements and EU law has attracted increased attention in past few years. The aim of this thesis is to bring a detailed analysis of various aspects of this complicated relationship. In attainment of this aim it proceeds in the following steps. After a short introduction (Chapter I.), Chapter II. briefly overviews typical content of bilateral investment treaties, following with a more detailed analysis of relevant EU law rules concerning foreign investment and subsequent comparison of both sets of rules. Chapter III. deals with investment agreements to be concluded by the EU, in particular with questions of external competence for foreign investment, responsibility for breaches of investment agreements concluded by the EU and the future shape of EU investment policy. The status of existing bilateral investment treaties concluded between EU member states and third countries is analyzed in Chapter IV. Chapter V. tackles various issues related to investment treaties concluded between member states (so called intra-EU BITs).

Investiční politika Evropské unie - ochrana přímých zahraničních investic / Investment Policy of the European Union - protection of foreign direct investmentŠtamberk, David January 2017 (has links)
Investment Policy of the European Union - protection of foreign direct investment Abstract One of the changes brought about by the Lisbon Treaty is the explicit inclusion of foreign direct investment and its protection in the common commercial policy of the European Union. This is one of the areas of exclusive competence of the EU. The European Union has subsequently stated negotiating bilateral agreements governing, inter alia, investment issues. However, it has not been spared from controversy and negative publicity that has been accompanying especially the TTIP and the CETA. This work aims to analyse the investment policy of the EU and mutual interaction of its institutions with the Member States and third parties. After general introduction to the topic of international investment law and EU law (chapters II. and III.), it is devoted to the issue of protection of foreign investment in the internal market. Its regime is then compared with the BIT regime (chapter IV.). Attention is then focussed towards the EU's external relations in the field of investment protection. Its competence is subjected to further analysis (chapter V.) and current results of efforts of the Commission and the EU as such are also discussed (chapter VI.). It is so in the light of possible impacts of foreign investment in terms of...
