Interferenze e convergenze fra prostituzione e tratta nelle recenti proposte di incriminazione del cliente

2017

Il sesso a pagamento è un fenomeno fortemente eterogeneo: se la prostituzione volontaria è rivendicata come scelta dai c.d. sex worker, proprio lo sfruttamento sessuale costituisce una delle principali attività di lucro per i gruppi criminali che operano nel traffico di esseri umani. Di recente, in Europa, sembra riscuotere un certo successo la convinzione che l’incriminazione del cliente possa scoraggiare la « domanda » di persone da utilizzare nel mercato dello sfruttamento sessuale: oltre al modello svedese che punisce il cliente tout court, nella direttiva anti-trafficking si invitano gli Stati membri ad introdurre norme penali contro il cliente consapevole della condizione di soggiogam…

This time it’s different? Effects of the Eurovision Debate on young citizens’ and its consequence for EU democracy – evidence from a quasi-experiment…

2017

For the very first time in EU history, the 2014 EP elections provided citizens with the opportunity to influence the nomination of the Commission President by casting a vote for the main Europarties’ ‘lead candidates’. By subjecting the position of the Commission President to an open political contest, many experts have formulated the expectation that heightened political competition would strengthen the weak electoral connection between EU citizens and EU legislators, which some consider a root cause for the EU’s lack of public support. In particular, this contest was on display in the so-called ‘Eurovision Debate’, a televised debate between the main contenders for the Commission Presiden…

Gender-neutral Language in EU Secondary Legislation: The Case of the English Language

2023

English does not have a grammatical gender, thus having an “intrinsic predisposition towards gender-neutral forms” (Poddighe 2020, 3). Most personal nouns do not indicate a specific gender, as in the case of person or engineer. However, there are also personal nouns with lexical gender, such as king or queen (Hellinger 2001). As a result, in English there is a risk of creating sentences that are not gender-neutral. Within the EU, the promotion of the use of a more inclusive language represents an important objective. For this reason, in recent years, various documents containing guidelines on gender-neutral language have been elaborated to encourage members of the EU institutions to adopt a…

DEVELOPMENT OF LATVIAN WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN THE CONTEXT OF EUROPEAN UNION CO-FUNDING

2014

Anotācija Promocijas darba mērķis ir novērtēt Latvijas ūdenssaimniecības apakšnozares attīstības priekšnosacījumus, pamatojoties uz ES fondu līdzfinansēto projektu apakšnozarē rezultātu analīzi pašvaldību griezumā. Latvijā ES fondu finansējums 2007.-2013.gadā pārsniedz 4,5 miljardus eiro, būtiski ieguldījumi ir veikti ūdenssaimniecības sistēmu sakārtošanā. Neskatoties uz to ūdenssaimniecības apakšnozare Latvijā nav plaši pētīta, kas ir skaidrojams ar to, ka, pieņemot nepieciešamību ieviest ES normatīvajos aktos paredzētos standartus attiecībā uz šo pakalpojumu sniegšanu, otrajā plānā ir palikusi nepieciešamība pārliecināties par ieguldījumu rezultātiem. Pētījuma aktualitāte ir saistīta arī …

EUIPO Boards of Appeal in the Light of the Principle of Fair Trial

2022

The EUIPO’s Boards of Appeal are called upon to decide on appeals against decisions by the bodies of ‘first instance’. However, their judicial function has always been denied. Conversely, the essay tends to place the Boards of Appeal of the EUIPO in any case within the concept of ‘court’, as defined by the ECtHR, within the framework of Article 6 ECtHR, because it assesses their independence, impartiality, and in general the guarantees required by the ‘fair trial’, until concluding that it is a paradigmatic model in the overall administration and judicial system. EUIPO Boards of Appeal, European Court of Human Rights, Court of Justice of the Eurpean Union, EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, …

2015

Abstract During the last three decades, the European Union (EU) commitment towards the Renewable Energy Sources (RES) market penetration has been very complex, involving several aspects pertaining to the economic and political action of Member States.

Moreover, the work will proceed with the picture of some Investment Funds, ad hoc created for RES undertakings, and managed by the European Investment Bank (EIB) in collaboration with the EU or other foreign Bank Institutes. The delicate matter …

The environmental Kuznets curve within European countries and sectors: greenhouse emission, production function and technology

2018

Based on the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis and the technological change and the environment literature, our original contribution consists in analysing within the decomposition model the direct and indirect influence of technological change as well as the energy mix on CO2 emissions. Focusing on the dirtiest sectors of 25 EU countries in the period 1997-2005 and considering the endogeneity issue, we estimate an adjusted EKC relationship comparing a single equation model (univariate model) with a simultaneous equations system (bivariate model). Following Lopez (J Environ Econ Manag 27:163-184, 1994), a second equation is introduced where per capita income is a positive functio…
