An Approach to Delineate Groundwater Bodies at Risk: Seawater Intrusion in Liepāja (Latvia)
2018
Groundwater quality in coastal areas is frequently affected by seawater intrusion as a consequence of intensive water consumption. To achieve “good chemical status” of a groundwater body according to Water Framework Directive the effects of saline or other intrusions should not be observed. Groundwater pumping in former decades has caused a significant seawater intrusion into confined aquifer in Liepāja and has led to deterioration of relatively wide coastal area of the third largest city in Latvia. However, the area affected by seawater intrusion is a small part of groundwater body F1 which overall chemical status is good. Thus, no specific management measures have been applied to explore …

Biological nitrogen in the legislation of the EU
2014
This article presents an analysis of the legislative framework of the EU, in which regulation or support for the use of biological forms of nitrogen in agricultural production in Europe is implemented. Two main documents that in our opinion contribute to positive changes nowadays occurring in biological agriculture include the «Common Agricultural Policy» of EU Member States and the 91/676/EEC Directive with all its modern amendments.The changes in recent years in the major laws and regulations of the EU, aimed at supporting the implementation ofthe farming technologies in agricultural production, which are based on the use of biological nitrogen, were analyzed. The results suggest the foll…
Access to Justice or Access to States Courtss Justice in Europe? The Directive 2008/52/EC on Civil and Commercial Mediation
2013
Modern societies are very much linked to the idea of litigation. A hidden rule seems to exist in the sense that the more advanced a society is the highest level of litigation it suffers. This increase in the level of litigation amounts to a sort of “litigation explosion” that has traditionally been linked to State courts. This explosion is said to put the whole judiciary system under pressure in so far the volume of disputes brought before State courts increases, the proceedings become more and more lengthy and the costs incurred in such proceedings also augment. The goal to tackle this explosion underpins most of the reforms that modern national civil procedure laws have suffered in many c…
Multi-destination trips: A survey on incoming zourism in Sicily
2012
Many pleasure trips are often characterized by the visit of more than a single destination. Despite the topic is well documented in literature, the empirical studies are limited to a few pioneering studies. This lack may be attributable to the failure of tourism organizations to collect data on multi-destination trip behaviors, as it results, for example, from the system of European statistics on tourism (according to the Council Directive 95/57 EC), where no information on the average number of destinations visited within a single trip are provided. This paper aims to analyze the main implications of multi-destination trips both on tourism statistics and in tourism planning, and to describ…
Data from: The relevance of ecological status to ecosystem functions and services in a large boreal lake
2015
1. Environmental conventions aim to protect ecosystem structures and functions to provide goods and services for mankind. The degree of aquatic ecosystem naturalness, or ecological status as it is defined in the Water Framework Directive (WFD) of the European Union, is notionally linked to supplies of ecosystem services. In practice these links have rarely been documented or even investigated and, to justify conservation and management objectives based on the status indicators, it is essential to demonstrate their relationships to ecosystem functions and services. 2. The WFD requires member states to classify their surface waters aiming to achieve good ecological status of water bodies. How…
Klinische und ökonomische Evaluation der Inanspruchnahme zahnärztlicher Leistungen im Ausland
2003
Purpose During the past decade German patients developed an increasing tendency to dental health tourism in countries outside the European Union. The present investigation aimed at evaluating both clinical and economic outcome of dental care in these countries with regard to German directive standards. Methods Based on physical examinations performed by the Medizinische Dienst der Krankenversicherung Rheinland-Pfalz in the context of reimbursement or regress requests after dental care in countries outside the European Union, an individual treatment concept was designed and its direct costs from the patient's perspective were estimated according to German standards. Furthermore, the clinical…
Practical recommendations for the application of DE 59/2013
2019
The changes introduced with Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom will require European Member States adapt their regulations, procedures and equipment to the new high standards of radiation safety. These new requirements will have an impact, in particular, on the radiology community (including medical physics experts) and on industry. Relevant changes include new definitions, a new dose limit for the eye lens, non-medical imaging exposures, procedures in asymptomatic individuals, the use and regular review of diagnostic reference levels (including interventional procedures), dosimetric information in imaging systems and its transfer to the examination report, new requirements on responsibiliti…

IL PAGAMENTO “NECESSARIAMENTE INTERMEDIATO” DELL’OBBLIGAZIONE PECUNIARIA NELLA LEGISLAZIONE DI DERIVAZIONE EUROPEA: VERSO IL SUPERAMENTO DELL’UNICITÀ…
2015
Il lavoro muove dall’idea di analizzare il sistema delle regole che definiscono, sul piano dell’an, del quando e del quomodo, l’esattezza dell’adempimento che può definirsi (necessariamente) intermediato dell’obbligazione pecuniaria: nella vicenda solutoria della quale, cioè, risulti indefettibile, per volontà della legge o per scelta dei privati, l’interposizione di uno o più soggetti, altri rispetto al debitore e al creditore parti originarie del rapporto obbligatorio, con funzioni ausiliarie. Ciò al fine di saggiare la bontà della ipotesi ricostruttiva in base alla quale l’adempimento dell’obbligazione pecuniaria per mezzo di operazioni di pagamento intermediato non sia governato dalla l…
