European Cross-Border Insolvency Law
2022
The first edition of this textbook was published in 2016, but since then the legal and factual scenario of European cross-border insolvency law has changed dramatically. In particular, three main events have occurred. First, the prescriptions of Regulation (EU) 2015/848 (Recast) have become applicable; second, the UK has left the European Union, without this completely reducing the meaning of the regulation for the UK though; and third, the European Union has enacted Directive (EU) 2019/1023 on preventive restructuring and insolvency. Moreover, since 2016, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has delivered significant new judgments, albeit regarding the Regulation (EU) 1346/200…
La Directiva de Retorno y la tutela judicial efectiva
2015
Después de cierto tiempo de aplicación, la Directiva de Retorno 2008/115 contiene elementos que suscitan un especial interés por afectar a los derechos procesales fundamentales de los extranjeros nacionales de terceros Estados en situación de retorno. Pero, además, su proyección afecta a la configuración de una nueva política migratoria de la Unión Europea que supone sin temor a la exageración el verdadero reto para el siglo XXI. Una política que debe respetar los derechos básicos de los extranjeros y permitir la integración en un espacio de libertad, justicia y seguridad. El presente trabajo señala luces y sombras en el camino desarrollado por la Directiva de retorno, su transposición por …

2018
This article examines the decision of the Grand Chamber of the Court of Justice of the European Union (ECJ) in Berlioz Investment Fund SA (Case C-682/15) delivered on 16 May 2017, following the Opinion of Advocate General Wathelet of 10 January 2017. The case concerned the levying of tax penalties in circumstances in which a third party partially refused to provide the Luxembourg tax authorities with information requested, by way of mutual assistance under the Mutual Assistance Directive (2011/16), by the French tax authorities. Having clarified that when exchanging information by way of mutual assistance under an EU directive, EU Member States are implementing EU Law, the Grand Chamber con…
Phytosociological characterization of the Juniperus phoenicea L. subsp. turbinata (Guss.) Nyman formations in the Italo-Tyrrhenian Province (Mediterr…
2012
The Juniperus phoenicea subsp. turbinata formations of the Italo-Tyrrhenian biogeographical province (Mediterranean Region), are analyzed on the basis of literature data and unpublished relevés. The floristic-synecological characterization of the identified phytocoenoses, confirmed by multivariate analysis on a synoptic basis, has allowed their breakdown in four different alliances of the order Pistacio lentisci-Rhamnetalia alaterni: 1) Periplocion angustifoliae, with the association Periploco angustifoliae-Juniperetum turbinatae; 2) Juniperion turbinatae, with the associations Junipero turbinatae-Quercetum calliprini, Rusco aculeati-Quercetum calliprini, Phillyreo angustifoliae-Juniperetum…
Aspects of phosphorus transfer from soils in Europe
2008
Imbalanced nutrient management has caused soil phosphorus (P) to become an environmental rather an agronomic problem in more economically developed countries. This subject has been the topic of numerous journal special issues, conferences, and reviews but we consider yet another review of this subject is necessary with the main target of providing a point of view on non-point transfer from soils and control strategies for an improved environmental management of P. This review considers the causes of the excessive P transfer from soil to surface water in Europe and the scientific knowledge necessary to develop control strategies. There has been an increasing trend towards the P-research inte…
The European Union can afford greater ambition in the conservation of its threatened plants
2021
The importance of Natura 2000 network for the conservation of natural habitats, wild flora and fauna at European level is undeniable. However, it may not have reached its full potential since the loss of biodiversity continues to increase year on year. Further on, a third of the plant species listed in the Habitats Directive to guide the declaration of European Union Natura 2000 network of protected areas is not threatened and there is broad agreement on the need to review and update the species list. Here, the effectiveness of Natura 2000 in the conservation of Spanish bryophytes and vascular plants included in the Habitats Directive Annex II is analysed and compared with the one offered t…

Cogeneration: a regulatory framework toward growth
2005
Abstract After having defined the general rules for the European liberalised energy market, new actions are needed to improve the energy system. In the rising common framework, the environmental policies and particularly the cost-internalising actions are being empowered, in order to favour improvements in conversion efficiencies and to promote low environmental impact technologies. The emerging EU policy for the promotion of cogeneration and trigeneration plants that fixes the eligibility criteria for high conversion efficiency plants is here discussed. On the basis of thermodynamic remarks and of a comparative analysis of the evaluation criteria applied to most industrialised countries, t…
First record of Lindenia tetraphylla (Vander Linden, 1825) and rediscovery of Orthetrum nitidinerve (Selys, 1841) in Sicily (Insecta: Odonata)

The first Sicilian record of Lindenia tetraphylla and a new regional record of Orthetrum nitidinerve, species not recorded since 1975 in mainland Sicily, are here reported. All individuals of L. tetraphylla and O. nitidinerve were observed in the same site in the province of Trapani.
Tuntuuko, jos tästä painaa? Epäsuoruus, toimintaan kehottaminen ja asiantuntijuus terveydenhuollon ammattilaisten teksteissä

Epasuora ilmaustapa on tyypillinen erilaisissa terveydenhuollon tilanteissa, kuten potilaan ja terveydenhuollon ammatilaisen valisessa vuorovaikutuksessa ja kollegojen valisessa viestinnassa. Epasuoraa viittausta kaytetaan esimerkiksi kuvattaessa jonkin ilmion yleisia vaikutuksia keneen tahansa henkiloon tai toisaalta tiettyyn puhuteltavaan, joka jatetaan kuitenkin kielellisesti maarittelematta.
