The Infra-Constitutionality of European Law in Romania and the Challenges of the Romanian Constitutional Culture

2016

This article deals with European Law as a legal transplant facing the Romanian constitutional culture, in the context of constitutionally limiting the Romanian State’s sovereignty as a member of the EU. Consequently, the reception of the EU law into the Romanian constitutional system (and culture) is determined by two paradoxically divergent Romanian legal-cultural traits: on the one hand, the necessity (bearing accents of national legal pride) to cherish and fructify the Romanian legal (constitutional) traditions, reified, as I shall denominate, as ‘the adapted Romanian law’, and stipulated in the 2003 amended Constitution as a ‘tradition firewall’ / ecran de traditionalite. On the other h…

Los límites de la investigación biomédica en el ordenamiento jurídico internacional y europeo

2016

La investigación biomédica ha experimentado un fuerte desarrollo en los últimos años, logrando importantes avances, pero planteado, a su vez, considerables desafíos; en especial, para los derechos humanos. El Derecho internacional y europeo establece los límites necesarios para garantizar los derechos fundamentales del individuo en el desarrollo de la actividad investigadora. El presente trabajo identifica y examina cuáles son esos límites contemplados por los instrumentos internacionales y europeos, al tiempo que los sistematiza y clarifica por medio de una serie de principios que el investigador biomédico deberá observar en el ejercicio de su actividad científica Biomedical research has d…

Czy potrzebne są zmiany preambuł w tzw. ustawach wyznaniowych?

2020

Ustawy z maja 1989 r. dotyczące gwarancji wolności sumienia i wyznania oraz relacji pomiędzy państwem a Kościołem katolickim w Polsce ze względu na ich znaczenie wyposażono w uroczysty wstęp podnoszący jeszcze bardziej rangę tych przepisów. Jednak formuła przyjęta wcześniej dzisiaj wymaga zmian szanujących godność człowieka i jego podmiotowość. Stąd też należy uwzględnić nie tylko wytyczne Narodów Zjednoczonych ale także dyrektywy wywodzące się z prawa Unii Europejskiej i fakt członkostwa Polski w Radzie Europy.

The International Court of Justice and International Environmental Law

2013

The jurisprudence of the ICJ on environmental issues has increased significantly in recent years. Although some environmental cases were frustrated, either by the discontinuance of the proceedings by the Parties or because the Court found that it lacked jurisdiction on the merits, an Advisory opinion and several Judgments have already been delivered by the Court. Overall, the contribution of the Court to international environmental law is still modest, in spite of its pronouncements affirming the obligation of States to protect the environment, to prevent transboundary harm to other States or areas beyond national jurisdiction, and to carry out an environmental impact assessment before pote…

The Puzzle of the New European COMI Rules: Rethinking COMI in the Age of Multinational, Digital and Glocal Enterprises

2019

EU Regulation 2015/848 (Recast) laid down new rules on the debtor’s ‘centre of main interests’ (COMI) both to make it easier to determine international jurisdiction and to prevent a debtor from fraudulently relocating his/her/its COMI from one Member State to another. However, the terms of the litigation concerning the NIKI case and an in-depth analysis of the Recast demonstrate that this operation has been unsuccessful. This paper argues: first, that the new COMI rules contain logical and teleological flaws; secondly, that the prerequisite that the COMI ‘shall be the place […] which is ascertainable by third parties’ is a duplicate of the prerequisite ‘on a regular basis’; thirdly, that th…

Democratic Legitimacy and the Court of Justice of the European Union

2016

The chapter on democratic legitimacy and the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) focuses on whether the CJEU through judicial activism may be claimed to have established its jurisprudence beyond the bounds of democratic legitimacy. Judicial activism has to a large extent been found in cases concerning the prerogatives of the CJEU, while in relation to other issues, such as the application of fundamental rights, the CJEU has demonstrated political awareness in its use of judicial activism, which however has diminished legal certainty. In general the CJEU has acted within the bounds of democratic legitimacy, but further clarification of its jurisprudence in controversial areas may b…
