<p> In recent years, community interest groups have played an integral role in conflict situations. This paper focuses on community response to locational conflict and the community's role in the process of conflict resolution. A conceptual model of locational conflict is developed. The model includes three essential elements. These are (i) community perceptions of a facility, (ii) the formation of a community group and (iii) a cycle of conflict. This framework leads to a hypothesis that there exists a cycle of conflict between community response to locational conflict and conflict resolution. Specifically, as a conflict evolves there exists a cyclical repetition of stages which lead to a cycle of conflict. As an empirical example of locational conflict, the Upper Ottawa Street Landfill is used to evaluate the validity of the model. Illegal chemical dumping in the past has created an environmental conflict for the surrounding community. The analysis illuminated the hypothesis that a cycle of conflict exists between community response to locational conflict and conflict resolution. </p> / Thesis / Bachelor of Arts (BA)

The issue that prompted the study: a) How the Labor Court understands, conceptualizes, and interprets the social dumping collective moral damage? b) What foundation do you use? c) How the Labour Court is judging social dumping and collective moral damage? What criteria are used in these trials? d) What are the situations that cause the condemnation of social dumping and collective moral damage? e) How the Labor Court awoke to social dumping and collective moral damage? Doctrines that have caused attention to the subject? The study aims to analyze decisions of the Labour Court and doctrines of social dumping and collective moral damage in order to understand the process of trial and conviction of employers who flout labor laws and mass repeatedly. The study was conducted in two distinct and complementary moments. In the first, he took advantage of literature in order to seek greater theoretical depth and conceptual background. In the second, we focused on the research field characterized by data collection and case law on the subject under study. The research result is that the configuration of social dumping and collective moral damages in employment law is at the stage of study and discussion, because the concepts are not consolidated. / O tema em estudo versa sobre a configuração jurídica do dano moral coletivo e dumping social nas relações de trabalho, como instrumento de combate as violações reiteradas dos direitos trabalhistas, no Brasil. A problemática que instigou o estudo: a) Como a Justiça do Trabalho entende, conceitua, interpreta o dumping social e dano moral coletivo? b) Qual embasamento utiliza? c) Como a Justiça do Trabalho está julgando o dumping social e dano moral coletivo? Quais critérios são utilizados nesses julgamentos? d) Quais são as situações que ensejam a condenação por dumping social e dano moral coletivo? e) Como a Justiça do Trabalho despertou-se para o dumping social e dano moral coletivo? Que doutrinas provocaram a atenção para o assunto? O estudo objetiva analisar decisões da Justiça do Trabalho e doutrinas sobre o dumping social e dano moral coletivo a fim de compreender o processo de julgamento e condenação de empregadores que desrespeitam a legislação trabalhista em massa e de forma reiterada. O trabalho foi realizado em dois momentos distintos e complementares. No primeiro, valeu-se da pesquisa bibliográfica com a finalidade de buscar maior aprofundamento teórico e embasamento conceitual. No segundo, privilegiou-se a pesquisa de campo caracterizada pelo levantamento de dados e jurisprudências sobre o tema em estudo. O resultado da pesquisa é de que a configuração do dumping social e dano moral coletivo no direito do trabalho está no estágio de estudos e discussão, pois os conceitos não estão consolidados.

This summary gives the theme of this final Master thesis, goal and objectives, methods, structure, findings. The theme „Tariffic goods classification and anti-dumping duty“ is analyzed in this final Master thesis. The goal of this thesis is to analyze the theoretical and legal application foundations of anti-dumping measures, the rules and principles for classifying goods and display the potential cases of classifying goods incorrectly, seeking to bypass duty of anti-dumping. To reach the goals the main objectives were stated: 1. To analyze the literature about theoretical and legal foundations of application of anti-dumping duty as means of security for trade; 2. To overview rules and principles of tariffical classification; 3. To provide the possible cases of bypassing duty of anti-dumping when classifying goods incorrectly; 4. To give suggestions how to reduce possible cases of bypassing duty of anti-dumping because of incorrect declaration of the code of goods. These methods had the significance to implement the objectives of the particular thesis: the analysis of the sources of literature and documents, methods or linguistic and logical analysis. The thesis consists of introduction, part of enunciation, which consists of 3 parts, inferences and suggestions, summary (in Lithuanian and in English) and references. In the first section of the thesis reasons and outcomes in economic sense are discussed, statistics of application of anti-dumping duty is briefly overviewed... [to full text]

Magister Legum - LLM (Mercantile and Labour Law) / The establishment of an anti-dumping regime has become commonplace for many a government that seeks to protect and promote its local industries. One reason which appears to be dominant by its proponents is the need to curb predatory pricing. Another reason given by the proponents of anti-dumping is the need to maintain a level playing field for players in any particular industry. With these reasons and probably many others, anti-dumping legislation began to find its way into present-day trade. Canada, with its anti-dumping statute of 1904 [An Act to Amend the Customs Tariff 1897, 4 Edw VIII, 1 Canada Statutes 111 (1904)] is credited with the first modern anti-dumping legislation. New Zealand followed in 1905 with the Agricultural Implement Manufacture, Importation and Sale Act 1905, which was primarily meant to protect New Zealand's manufacturers of agricultural implements. The Industries Preservation Act 1906 which Australia enacted was to deal with market monopoly by manufacturers but it also contained provisions on anti-dumping. The first decade of the 20th century will thus qualify to be called the introductory decade of anti-dumping legislation.

In the twenty-first century environmental issues gained momentum and importance in these terms, which was seen as a mere fallacy given the concern of governments of various countries, after all, environmental protection shows up as the only means of bringing about the maintenance of life at planet. Indeed, it is essential to halt the drastic effects of climate change, and think fast and efficient solutions. Undoubtedly, the contemporary requirements that resulted in the transition to a new economy brings with it the duty of enterprise search for sustainability, and this behavior can not be passive, otherwise it is imperative to work hard and incessant economic agents, even if initially costs are high, this step will ensure a production accountable, transparent and free from accusations of environmental degradation. It is also intended to study the importance of the sector not only as a source of economic growth, but mainly, its contribution to national development, without forgetting that this is devoted in the Constitution of 1988 as one of the objectives of the Federative Republic of Brazil. In fact, the criticism most common perceptions about the production of biofuels, said the interests of the countries producing them in large scale, will eventually generate a exhaustion of soil and a significant increase in food prices. However, the ethanol produced in Brazil is unique in that it is produced from cane sugar, a product is not intended for human or animal, not to mention that the recovery of land just to the rotation with the planting other cultures. It is expected that environmental certifications are useful to demonstrate the quality of ethanol for export and to refute unfounded criticism. Finally, this study will be analyzed further solutions for the plants to develop an economic activity without damaging the environment and in compliance with Brazilian law / O objetivo deste trabalho ? investigar acerca da exist?ncia ou inexist?ncia do dumping ambiental na produ??o de etanol combust?vel no Brasil, bem como, identificar as raz?es pelas quais a figura do dumping ecol?gico ? perniciosa aos princ?pios elencados na ordem econ?mica constitucional, em especial, o princ?pio da livre concorr?ncia. No s?culo XXI as tem?ticas ambientais ganharam for?a e import?ncia, nestes termos, o que era visto como mera fal?cia recebeu a preocupa??o de governantes de v?rios pa?ses, afinal, a prote??o ambiental mostra-se como o ?nico meio de propiciar a manuten??o da vida humana no planeta. Com efeito, ? indispens?vel frear os efeitos dr?sticos das mudan?as clim?ticas, al?m de pensar em solu??es r?pidas e eficientes. Sem d?vida, as exig?ncias contempor?neas que implicaram na transi??o para uma nova economia, trazem consigo o dever da busca empresarial pela sustentabilidade, e esse comportamento n?o pode ser passivo, do contr?rio, ? imperioso um trabalho ?rduo e incessante dos agentes econ?micos, mesmo que inicialmente os custos sejam elevados, este passo garantir? uma produ??o respons?vel, transparente e livre de acusa??es de degrada??o ambiental. Tem-se ainda por finalidade, estudar a import?ncia do setor n?o apenas como fonte de crescimento econ?mico, mas principalmente, a sua contribui??o para o desenvolvimento nacional, sem esquecer que este est? consagrado na Constitui??o Federal de 1988 como um dos objetivos da Rep?blica Federativa do Brasil. De fato, as cr?ticas mais corriqueiras sobre a produ??o dos biocombust?veis, afirmam que o interesse dos pa?ses em produzi-los em larga escala, terminar? por gerar um empobrecimento do solo e um relevante aumento no pre?o dos alimentos. Contudo, o etanol produzido no Brasil ? singular, na medida em que ? produzido a partir da cana-de-a??car, produto que n?o ? destinado ? alimenta??o humana ou animal, sem contar que para a recupera??o do solo basta ? rota??o do plantio com outras culturas. Espera-se que as certifica??es ambientais sejam ?teis para comprovar a qualidade do etanol para fins de exporta??o e refutar cr?ticas sem fundamento. Enfim, neste estudo ser?o analisadas ainda as solu??es para que as usinas desenvolvam uma atividade econ?mica sem agredir ao meio ambiente e em obedi?ncia ao ordenamento jur?dico brasileiro

Memoria (licenciado en ciencias jurídicas y sociales) / En la actualidad, Estados Unidos es el segundo país que históricamente ha iniciado mayor número de investigaciones antidumping, antecedido sólo por la India, país reconocidamente proteccionista. ¿A qué obedece tal cifra? ¿Hay abuso en su sistema antidumping? ¿Está tan solo corrigiendo distorsiones o se busca proteger la industria nacional con tasas arancelarias injustificadas? ¿Cuáles son las consecuencias de tales prácticas? Las investigaciones antidumping iniciadas por Estados Unidos y los efectos que produce en la industria exportadora, son una cuestión que no puede ser pasado por alto por los países con los que tiene intercambios de bienes, menos aún en el caso de Chile, quien con la entrada en vigencia del Tratado de Libre Comercio se vincula de manera más fuerte a su economía. El objetivo de este trabajo es hacer un análisis acabado de la política antidumping en el comercio internacional y específicamente en Estados Unidos, a modo de dar respuestas a las interrogantes antes dadas. Para lograr estos objetivos, conoceremos los fundamentos de la aplicación de las MAD, para lo que deberemos abocarlos primero al concepto mismo de la práctica del dumping. Asimismo, no siendo una materia libre de discusión, nos tomaremos un tiempo en la legitimidad de la aplicación de esta clase de medidas, tomando como principio básico a aquel que dice proteger: el libre mercado

Anti-dumping duties, safeguards and countervailing duties are collectively, within the context of the WTO, referred to as „trade remedies.‟ More specifically, the imposition of anti-dumping duties is a remedial measure for dealing with imports that cause or threatens to cause injury to local producers. Under the WTO framework, Article VI of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 and the Agreement on the Implementation of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 provides the rules for applying anti-dumping duties by member countries. Nigeria has been a member of the WTO since 1995 and can only apply anti-dumping duties provided it adheres to the rules governing anti-dumping. The purpose of this study is to ascertain whether the proposed Anti-dumping and Countervailing Bill, 2010 is consistent with WTO jurisprudence on anti-dumping. This study also highlights landmark developments in South Africa‟s anti-dumping system with a view to providing direction to Nigeria in order for its proposed national legislation on anti-dumping to be WTO compliant. / Dissertation (LLM)--University of Pretoria, 2014 / gm2015 / Centre for Human Rights / LLM / Unrestricted

Le détachement dans le cadre d’une prestation de services est au cœur d’enjeux socio-économiques. La liberté de prestation de services permet aux entreprises établies dans un État membre de l’Union européenne de fournir des services dans d’autres États membres. L’opération de détachement permet à l’entreprise d’affecter ses travailleurs à la réalisation de la prestation de services. Cette opération économique présente des intérêts et des enjeux incontestables pour les travailleurs détachés, pour l’État d’envoi et l’État d’accueil. La libre prestation de services est essentielle au bon fonctionnement du marché intérieur, elle contribue indéniablement à la croissance économique. Le détachement de travailleurs pose la problématique de la protection offerte à ces travailleurs. En effet, l’opération de détachement présente des risques de concurrence entre les travailleurs, de fraude et de dumping social. La protection des travailleurs détachés prévue par la directive « détachement » présente des limites. Des dysfonctionnements majeurs ont été recensés, notamment les sources de protection, les contours de la protection, l’effectivité de la directive et les mesures de contrôle. La directive 96/71 a pour objectif principal de garantir la libre prestation de services. Elle organise le cadre légal des règles applicables au détachement de travailleur avec une dualité de règles. Ce cadre prévoit l’application des règles de l’État d’accueil avec le « noyau dur » de protection et les règles de l’État d’envoi pour les éléments hors du noyau dur. Cette dualité de règles s’est avérée insuffisante et problématique dans certaines situations. La directive « détachement » a été consolidée par la directive d’exécution qui est entrée en vigueur le 28 mai 2014 et dont la transposition a été prévue au plus tard le 18 juin 2016. Celle-ci a pour objectif de renforcer la protection du travailleur détaché, c’est une avancée majeure en matière de détachement, notamment en matière de contrôle de l’application de la directive détachement, de responsabilité du sous-traitant dans le cadre d’une prestation de services, de coopération entre les États membres. La Commission européenne a présenté, le 8 mars 2016, une proposition de directive destinée à mieux définir les conditions de mise en œuvre du détachement des travailleurs. Le détachement nous interroge sur la construction européenne. Précisément, quel avenir pour l’Europe ? / Secondment as part of the delivery of services is key to socioeconomic challenges. The freedom to provide services enables companies which are established in a Member State of the European Union to provide services to other Member States. Secondment allows companies to assign their workers to tasks involving the provision of services. This economic operation offers undisputed benefits and challenges for the seconded workers, the State sending them, and the State receiving them. Freedom to provide services is essential to the proper functioning of the internal market, and it also makes an undeniable contribution to economic growth. The secondment of workers raises the issue of how to protect these workers. Indeed it throws up the risk of competition between workers, fraud and social dumping. The protection received by seconded workers under the “secondment” directive is limited. Major dysfunctions have been identified, particularly with regards to sources of protection, the outlines of this protection, the effectiveness of the directive and the measures used to verify it. The main objective of Directive 96/71 is to guarantee the freedom to provide services. It sets out the legal framework for the rules that apply to the posting of workers with two sets of regulations. This framework enables the application of the regulations of the host State for “core” protection and the regulations of the State which receives the workers for any elements that fall outside the core. This duality of regulations has proved insufficient and problematic in some situations. The “secondment” directive was consolidated by the executive directive which came into effect on 28 May 2014 but is to be transposed by 18 June 2016 at the latest. The aim is to increase the protection of seconded workers, which is a major step forward for secondment, in particular with regard to applying the secondment directive, the responsibility of the subcontractor when providing services and cooperation between the Member States. On March 8th, 2016, the European commission presented a directive proposition aimed at defining the conditions of implementation of workers secondment in a better way. Secondment raises questions about how Europe is constructed. More specifically, what does the future look like for Europe?

Le droit de l’Union européenne appréhende les comportements d’entreprises en matière de prix par des règles antitrust et par une législation contre le dumping. Ces deux réglementations diffèrent à de nombreux égards. Elles poursuivent des objectifs différents : défense des intérêts de certains concurrents européens versus promotion de la libre concurrence au bénéfice des consommateurs. Cependant, toutes deux contribuent à protéger la loyauté de la concurrence (i.e. promotion d’une certaine homogéniété des conditions de concurrence). Elles appréhendent des pratiques tarifaires différentes : les marchés concernés sont définis différemment (produit concerné exporté depuis un pays tiers et produit similaire fabriqué par l’industrie de l’Union versus marché de produit et marché géographique en cause) et les caractéristiques des entreprises concernées sont également différentes (aucune forme d’accord entre entreprises ou de pouvoir de marché minimum requis par la législation antidumping) ; le dumping discriminatoire n’équivaut à aucun prix discriminatoire anticoncurrentiel, et le dumping à perte n’est pas l’équivalent du prix prédateur ni de tout autre prix bas anticoncurrentiel. Nonobstant leurs différences, les deux réglementations doivent coexister paisiblement. Pourtant, les opportunités de biais protectionnistes dans la détermination du dumping préjudiciable sont toujours nombreuses dans la législation antidumping et la pratique de la Commission. En outre, la mise en oeuvre de la législation antidumping peut être néfaste pour la concurrence dans le marché intérieur via l’incidence des procédures et des mesures antidumping et les effets anticoncurrentiels de certains comportements d’entreprises dans le cadre des procédures antidumping ou environnant ces dernières. De telles incidences nocives pour la concurrence sont déjà réduites par des dispositions telles que la règle du droit moindre et la clause d’intérêt public (intérêt de l’Union), mais pourraient et devraient l’être davantage. / European Union law addresses pricing practices of undertakings through antitrust provisions and an anti-dumping legislation. These two sets of regulations differ in many respects. They pursue different aims: protection of the interest of some European competitors versus promotion of free competition for the benefit o f consumers. However, they both hept to ensure fair competition (i.e. promotion of alevel playing field). They address different pricing practices: the markets concerned are differently defined (concerned product exported from one third country andsimilar product produced by the Union industry versus relevant product and geographic markets) and the characteristics of the undertakings concerned are also different (no sort of agreement between undertakings and no minimum market power required in anti-dumping law); price discrimination dumping in not equivalent to any anti-competitive price discrimination and below cost dumping is not equivalent to predatory pricing or to any other low anti-competitive price. Not with standing their differences, both sets of regulations have to coexist peacefully. Yet, opportunities of protectionist biases in the determination of injurious dumping are still numerous in the anti-dumping legislation and Commission’s practice. Moreover, the enforcementof the anti-dumping legislation may negatively affect competition in the internal market through the impact of the anti-dumping proceedings and measures and the anti-competitive effects of some undertakings’ behaviors within the ambit of, or surrounding the anti-dumping proceedings. Such harmful effects on competition of the anti-dumping action are already reduced by provisions such as the lesser duty rule and the public interest clause (Union interest), but could and should be further reduced.
