The notion of Organised Crime in eu law
2017
The contribution consider, first, the original multiplicity of national legislative solutions with respect to the crucial issue of ‘punishability’ of criminal organisations; then, identify the common standards under european harmonisation legislation, along with their respective characteristics and problems, in order to finally assess the most recent situation and the effectiveness of EU action in this area. A more general consideration on the nature of harmonisation in this area serve as background: what is at stake is not so much a rule (of EU law), but rather an actual principle (of EU law). As such, it cannot be evaluated in absolute terms of success or failure, of either standards rigi…
L'armonizzazione dei reati in Europa fra 'parabola' e 'piano inclinato': il caso della incriminazione dell'organizzazione criminale
2021
After recalling Alessandro Bernardi's contribution to the diffusion in Italy of attention to the issues of European criminal law, the contribution examines the gap between programmes and achievements in the harmonisation of European criminal law systems. According to a first approach, it has traced a sort of parabola, which is now in a downward phase. In this regard, the incrimination of criminal organisations is taken as a test case for assessing European criminal law harmonisation. A critical review is then made of the deficits in the creation of a common basis for combating criminal organisations, highlighting certain trends in the adaptation of Member States to the standards set by the …
State of the Art on Degree Study Programs in Agricultural/Biosystems Engineering in EU
2021
The process of international harmonisation of the degree study programs in Agricultural/Biosystems Engineering (ABE) was started by Prof. Giuseppe Pellizzi during CIGR 1989 Conference and was continued by Prof. Pierluigi Febo in EU, within EurAgEng SIG RD12 - Education and Communication, and also within CIGR WG1 - Agricultural Engineering University Curricula Harmonization. Then, four thematic networks were effective: 1) USAEE-TN (University Studies of Agricultural Engineering in Europe - A Thematic Network), comprising 31 HEIs (Higher Education Institutions) from 27 countries, from 2002 to 2006; 2) Consortium POMSEBES (Policy Oriented Measures in Support of the Evolving Biosystems Engineer…
Pharmacovigilance européenne, un système aux multiples visages
2016
International audience; Le système européen de pharmacovigilance fait actuellement cohabiter des systèmes étatiques avec un système central ; or de nombreuses disparités existent entre les différents États membres de l’Union européenne. À travers une étude du niveau central européen puis de quatre systèmes nationaux - différents se trouve mise en évidence la complexité globale d’une telle organisation. Dès lors, se pose la question de l’efficience d’un tel système et des recommandations sont émises pour améliorer cette dernière.
Sanctions for Legal Entities in South American and European Systems of Corporate Criminal Liability
2021
The present analysis of sanctions for cases of liability of legal entities for crimes (corporate criminal liability) adopts a two-fold comparative perspective. First, it focuses on the sanctions provided by the laws of those legal systems, in South America, which introduced such liability, especially in the last two decades after the United Nations’ treaties on organized crime and corruption. Then, it continues with a parallel overview of sanctioning choices in those Member States of the European Union which opted for such liability. The analysis highlights similar and different approaches both in the two contexts and within each of them. Overall, a process of “weak harmonization” of sancti…
Contratto e diritto internazionale
2002
A fronte dell' inarrestabile fenomeno di internazionalizzazione degli scambi prodotto dalla globalizzazione, l'autore offre una ricostruzione critica delle diverse tecniche volte ad agevolare l'uniformazione del diritto del commercio internazionale, alla luce del vaglio giurisprudenziale.. Vengono cosi analizzati e comparati i diversi modelli di uniformazione del diritto contrattuale susseguitesi negli anni, tanto quelli procedurali, del diritto internazionale privato, che prevedono l'uniformazione delle regole di conflitto, quanto quelli di diritto sostanziale, previsti nei diversi progetti di uniformazione europei ed internazionali.
The Introduction of the “Balanced Budget” Principle into the Italian Constitution: What Perspectives for the Financial Autonomy of Regional and Local…
2013
This paper analyses the impact on regional and local authorities of Articles 117 and 119 of the Italian Constitution as amended by Constitutional Law no. 1/2012. In particular, it attempts to verify whether the new formulation of these constitutional provisions materializes the risk of a significant reduction in the financial autonomy of both Regions and Local Governments. With the constitutional reform the legislative competence of “harmonization of public account” has become an exclusive State competence, the “balanced budget” principle has been extended to Regions and local authorities and public borrowing has been broadly prohibited. What is the actual significance of the changes introd…
Zur Identität der Strafrechtswissenschaft in der Mehrebenen-Rechtsordnung
2014
The general scenario of the contemporary multi-level legal system raises several questions for the criminal law science, ranging from the relations between national and supra-national sources of law, to the interaction between different courts that, however, equally play a role in the protection of fundamental human rights. These new kinds of relationships among different legal sources and different courts are governed by new forms of mutual influence and interaction which are largely different from the traditional, deductive, mainly hierarchical, approaches. Upon clarifying the significance and the context in which these new relationships between the criminal law science and the multi-leve…
L'harmonisation du droit pharmaceutique en Afrique de l’Ouest : le cas de l’UEMOA
2018
Health protection, the setting up of health security highly depend on an organization of the pharmaceutical market by the establishment of a common pharmaceutical market. In West Africa, particularly within WAEMU, the absence of such of market eases the rise in illicit drug market and impedes a free movement of health products between States. Yet, economic development involves an effective and secured health system. WAEMU’s member States awareness is emerging gradually, hence the necessity to join forces for better health protection ; therefore the long-awaited legal integration can be done through several means ; harmonization, unification, standardization. Harmonization is the means of le…
THE TRANS-ATLANTIC TRADE AND INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP AND SOCIAL RIGHTS: WHAT KIND OF HARMONISATION?
2017
Il presente lavoro analizza il processo di negoziazione del Trattato di libero scambio tra USA ed Unione Europea, il Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (c.d. TTIP), con particolare riguardo all’impatto che potrebbe avere sui diritti sociali nel vecchio continente. Più in particolare, l’articolo analizza i rischi di abbassamento delle tutele che il TTIP avrebbe su contrattazione collettiva e licenziamenti, facendo leva su un argomento storico-giuridico: infatti le culture giuridiche degli Stati membri dell’Unione, nonostante presentino a volte marcate differenze, differiscono dal modello individualistico e liberale del diritto americano. In relazione al contenuto del TTIP viene …
