Law and discretion in monetary policy and in the banking union: Complexity between high politics and administration
Authors: Mendes Joana
Published: February 2024

The controversy over the degree of judicial review of monetary policy decisions triggered by the contrasting Weiss judgments of the German Federal Constitutional Court and of the Court of Justice of the European Union invites an inquiry into the role of law in areas characterized by a high degree of political and technical complexity. This article singles out the structural conditions that qualify complexity in specific instances of decision-making: prognostic assessments, goal-oriented decisions, marked by uncertainty, legal indeterminacy, and discretion. These traits characterize both monetary policy decisions and some regulatory decisions taken within the banking union, such as the setting of minimum requirements for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) and the calculation of the leverage ratios of credit institutions (Livret A judgments). Irrespective of the very distinct formal-institutional legal frameworks of these two policy fields, in those conditions legality may be determined by the discretionary choices of the decision-maker. For this reason, they impact the court’s deployment of legal principles, namely proportionality and careful and impartial examination. This cross-sector comparison sheds light on the relative specificity of monetary policy, and leads to rejecting the transposition of a distinction between “high politics” and “ordinary administration” to EU law, as a means of both explaining and guiding different degrees of judicial review in conditions of complexity. The different constitutional relevance of monetary policy decisions and of “ordinary” banking supervision requires not a distinction that can rationalize judicial review, but a full consideration of the role that the law must have in supporting non-judicial accountability.

VAT as a Policy Instrument in the European Union A legal framework for pursuing policy objectives in VAT law
Authors: Schreier Nora , Anderwald Anna
Published: February 2024

The desire to raise revenue efficiently, and in some cases, change behaviour and economic activity are at the heart of a shift towards the use and incidence of consumption taxes’.

Although VAT is mainly a source of state and EU revenue, VAT law is increasingly used as an instrument to pursue various policy objectives. Due to its design as an indirect tax, however, VAT is subject to limitations regarding its ability to achieve both distributional and behavioural effects. The aim of this paper is to identify the legal framework for pursuing policy objectives in VAT law from a European Union law perspective. Since the actual effects of policy instruments within VAT law depend on extra-legal circumstances, such as economic and behavioural factors, this paper contributes to the discussion on evidence-based legislative processes. It concludes with suggestions for the legislator regarding both a suitability assessment ex ante as well as an evaluation ex post.

Sustainable and Just Deep-Sea Mining for the Energy Green Transition: A Conundrum Without Legal, Governance or Technological Solutions. The Case of the EU
Authors: Cassotta Sandra , Goodsite Michael
Published: February 2024

In January 2023 the International Seabed Authority (ISA), an intergovernmental organization established under the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) granted already thirty contracts for exploration of Deep Seabed Mining, but exploitation has not started yet because ISA has not finalized its regulations, expected in 2025. This article intends to address to what extent is the current deep Seabed mining regime factoring risks and uncertainties in a just and sustainable manner in the current legal framework on environmental liability embedded in the green energy transition’s processes with the EU as case study and enquiry if there are baseline or best practice to learn from. It unravels which type of precautionary approach fits and is just. Deep Seabed Mining is also a social justice, ethical dilemma demanding equitable and share solutions to the benefit of current and future generations because activities of this kind can destroy ecosystems that can take decades to regenerate, if not causing irreversible damage. Law and technology, but also technology will be crucial as new methods guaranteeing an “environmental benign Deep Seabed Mining” will determine how liability law will be shaped.

Quaternary Law in EU Electricity Regulation: Stretching Meroni too Far?
Authors: Rumpf Julius
Published: February 2024

In the European electricity sector, the delegation of rule-making has literally reached the next level. Socalled ‘methodologies’, legally binding rules developed between private electricity companies and specialized regulatory agencies, constitute a vast and growing body of ‘quaternary law’. The methodologies and their unique features raise numerous interesting questions for scholars of EU law, but they remain severely underresearched. This is regrettable, since the methodologies illustrate another pressing issue related to the delegation of rule-making: the fuzzy legal boundaries to delegation. These follow from the European Court of Justice’s (ECJ’s) non-delegation, or Meroni doctrine, which however seems to be subject to a creeping maceration. As the methodologies show, the resulting legal uncertainty encourages ever-bolder models of delegation, raising grave constitutional concerns. At the same time, the methodologies illustrate a need for delegated rule-making in technical sectors, such as electricity. The argument of this article is that the ECJ should therefore revise the Meroni doctrine to restore legal certainty with respect to delegation, while also respecting the requirements of regulatory reality. This article discusses possible approaches and proposes a starting point for a ‘Meroni doctrine 2.0ʹ.

Who is really affected by European Union terrorist sanctions? A Critical Study on ‘Proximity’ in EU Case Law
Authors: Lonardo Luigi , Datzer Veronika , Walde Shanti
Published: February 2024

The European Union (EU) adopts restrictive measures – or sanctions – as part of its counterterrorism strategy. These measures restrict the fundamental rights of the natural or legal persons they target and can be challenged in front of the General Court or the European Court of Justice (the CJEU).

Drawing from both legal scholarship and security studies, this article refines an analytical framework that enables an original analysis of the case law of the CJEU: we focus on ‘proximity’, an element so far neglected in the analysis of counter-terrorism sanctions. Proximity is the variable measuring the distance between the addressee of a measure from the actual commission of a terrorist act. Such a variable provides the analytical framework through which to test the hypotheses and findings proposed in the last decade by previous studies.

Such findings are mostly confirmed by our interdisciplinary analysis, but nuanced. While it is true that sanctions lead to a process of othering and stigmatization, the Court has introduced some meaningful procedural safeguards that contribute to protecting the fundamental rights of individuals, especially in the case of family members of suspected terrorists. Not dissimilarly from what was noted about judicial protection in other sanctions regimes, however, tensions remain in how to ensure effective substantive, as opposed to merely procedural, protection to sanctions addressees.

A Short Biography of the Unfair Contract Terms Directive on the Occasion of Its 30th Anniversary
Authors: Fornasier Matteo
Published: February 2024

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the adoption of Council Directive 93/ 13/EEC on Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts. The article explores how the Court of Justice of the European Union’s (CJEU) case law on the Directive has evolved over the last three decades. Contrary to what one may have expected at the time the legislation was passed, the Directive has had a greater impact on the Member States’ procedural law than on substantive contract law. In particular, the CJEU has refrained from spelling out a common European standard to assess the fairness of contractual terms in business-to-consumer transactions. Instead, the Court leaves it by and large to domestic courts to determine, on the basis of the applicable national law, whether the substance of a particular clause is unfair and therefore void. On the other hand, the CJEU has been keen to develop procedural requirements for the judicial review of standard terms in consumer contracts, thus significantly restricting the principle of national procedural autonomy in the realm of consumer law. Finally, the article addresses some more recent trends in the CJEU’s case law, especially with regard to the legal consequences arising for the contract as a whole where a contractual term is found to be unfair.
Make It Stringent: A Plea for an Unfair Terms Regulation
Authors: Busch Danny , Lehmann Matthias
Published: February 2024

The Unfair Terms Directive (UTD) is one of the most important pieces of EU private law, yet its understanding and implementation in the Member States is quite diverse. Despite the abundance of preliminary rulings on the Directive, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has not managed to bring uniformity into its interpretation. The main reason is the legislative form chosen, which is that of a directive, allowing Member States very wide discretion in transposing its rules into their national law. This has given rise to sharp differences between Member State laws. The result is uncertainty, legal fragmentation, and an uneven playing field in the Union.

To remedy this situation, we suggest a recast of the UTD and its transformation into a regulation. This would have several benefits. First, the scope, depth and the effects of unfair terms control would be the same in all Member States. Second, the Court of Justice of the European Union would no longer have to take account of the complex background of the different national laws when responding to references for preliminary rulings; instead, it could directly declare a certain clause as being incompatible with the Regulation and decide on its consequences. Third, the Annex of the Directive could be made binding, which would further enhance legal certainty and the effectiveness of the control. Finally, as the Regulation would fully harmonize the standard of unfair terms control, with the result that clauses compatible with it could be used throughout the Union, without any risk of running afoul of national law. This would give a boost to the integration of the Internal Market.
Changes and Reactions in the Fundamental Issues of Hungarian Company Law – Contributions to International Trends in Legal Regulation, Liability and Corporate Governance1
Authors: Pap Tekla , Auer Ádám
Published: February 2024

Throughout the first decades of the 21st century there have been numerous traditional and modern impacts on Hungarian company law. As a result of the codification of Hungarian civil law, the Civil Code of 2013 incorporated the previously effective substantive legal regulations of company law. Prior to this, Hungarian company law had undergone several modifications, beginning with the change of regime in 1989, through the years of its preparation to join the European Union, and during the initial phases of digitalization. Some more recent influences are, on the one hand, either international in origin (for instance: corporate governance, compliance), or, on the other hand, approaches taken from the legal debates on company law, which have evolved with the development of the law. Modern results demand both reconsideration and synthesis, in order to enable company law to fulfil its duties and achieve its purpose.

Litigating the Algorithmic Boss in the EU: A (Legally) Feasible and (Strategically) Attractive Option for Trade Unions?
Authors: Gaudio Giovanni
Published: February 2024

Workers subject to algorithmic management, both in platform work and in conventional employment settings, often face a justice gap in enforcing their rights, due to the opacity characterizing most automated algorithmic decision-making processes. This paper argues that trade unions are in a more favourable position than individual workers to fill this justice gap through litigation, especially when collective redress mechanisms are available. However, this becomes possible only when the legal system is favourable to this type of litigation. This article analyses three legal domains at EU level where justiciable rights are more likely to be violated through algorithmic management devices, in order to assess whether it is legally feasible for trade unions to promote algorithmic litigation under EU law.

Even when the legal framework is conducive to this type of litigation, it cannot be automatically expected that trade unions will more frequently resort to it to better enforce the rights of workers subject to algorithmic management devices. Previous research shows that trade unions are traditionally keen on turning to litigation only when they are able to link it to their broader strategies. This paper claims that this may be the case against employers using algorithmic management. For trade unions, resorting to litigation can be strategically instrumental not only to fulfil the legal purpose of alleviating the justice gap faced by workers through a better ex post enforcement of their rights, but also to achieve the meta-legal purpose of mobilizing them and the para-legal purpose of strengthening collective bargaining, especially considering that this would constitute an effective means to induce stronger ex ante compliance.

The Requirement of Fair Negotiation (Gebot des fairen Verhandelns) and the Principle of Undue Influence in German and US Employment Law
Authors: Michels Hannah
Published: February 2024

In its decisions of 24 February 2022 and 7 February 2019, the German Federal Labour Court (BAG) ruled that German labour courts should take into account whether a breach of the requirement of fair negotiation had occurred in assessing the validity of termination agreements. The Court thereby aimed to improve the protection of employees who have been improperly pressured by their employer into concluding a termination agreement. Arguably, the principle of undue influence in US contract law fulfils a comparable function. This article analyses the BAG decision then addresses the question of the comparability of the legal concepts. Since the concept and scope of undue influence are not easy to grasp, the definition in US case law and the practical application of the legal concept are analysed. Based on this analysis, the article considers whether a US civil court would have decided the BAG case in the same way. The article concludes that the principles in German and American law lead to similar outcomes.

Regulating Platform Work in the UK and Italy: Politics, Law and Political Economy
Authors: Bertolini Alessio
Published: February 2024

The advent of the platform economy gives rise to an important challenge for existing systems of labour law across the world. Different countries are reacting to this common challenge with various legislative measures, ranging from accommodation to re-regulation. This paper analyses the policy response to the spread of platform work in the UK and Italy, countries with quite different labour law frameworks as well as contrasting political and regulatory institutions. These two countries have responded differently to the advent of the platform economy. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, the paper draws on theories from political science and comparative political economy to explain the different regulatory outcomes observed. Specifically, it is argued that policy and legislative outcomes can be explained by the relative power of political actors and interest groups which are shaped, in turn, by the national system of political parties and the existing industrial relations frameworks.

Critical Review Of The Atad Implementation: The Implementation of the ATAD in Finland
Authors: Itälä Hannu , Knuutinen Reijo
Published: February 2024

In this article, the authors provide an assessment of the Finnish implementation of the European Union (EU) Anti–Tax Avoidance Directives (ATAD I and II) in consideration of the EU primary law and secondary law requirements. It is focused on examining the conformity between the Finnish implementation rules and the fundamental freedoms arising out of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). Although Finland already had an extensive anti-avoidance framework in place before implementing the ATAD I and ATAD II, Finland had to make some adjustments in almost all areas covered by the Directives. What is perhaps most interesting is that the Finnish general anti-abuse rule (GAAR) in section 28 of the Act on Assessment Procedure has retained the exact same textual form that it had decades previously. The essential question is as follows: Has the actual content of the general clause changed based on ATAD Article 6 and, if affirmative, in what way?

Updating the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO) has become imperative to address the dynamic challenges confronting modern trade. Plurilateral agreements can be a viable option for responding to trade issues where achieving multilateral consensus in the full WTO membership is difficult. However, plurilaterals should follow an inclusive and development-focused framework for participation. They should have a layered architecture of rights and obligations and encompass capacity-building measures. WTO Members should also initiate plurilaterals on topics which are of particular concern to developing countries and which can help achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The G20 (Group of 20) can play a decisive role in fostering discussion and mutual understanding on plurilaterals.

One Size Fits All? Competition Rules for Digital Markets Outside Europe
Authors: Murgatroyd Richard , Lee Simon , Van Dijk Theon
Published: February 2024

Stricter competition regulation in digital markets is a growing trend in the Global North, with the Digital Markets Act in Europe being the poster child of a more interventionist approach. In this article we do not focus on the debate surrounding these European efforts (which has meritorious arguments on both sides in our view), but instead examine similar developments elsewhere in the world, namely in South Africa, India, China, and Brazil. With reference to recent enforcement activities in these countries (such as industry investigations, greater scrutiny of mergers and of individual firm conduct, and in some cases ex ante regulations targeted at specific categories of firms), we provide our views on the potential adverse consequences of seeking to replicate the European approach in instances where digital markets may be less mature. In particular, while it is generally understood that heavy-handed regulation can stifle innovation and chill competition, we argue that such risks are more acute in countries outside of Europe (and North America), which thus warrants more cautious regulation methods. This is especially the case where the policy objectives deviate from the traditional one of protecting competition rather than competitors, since such an approach runs the risk of promoting short term gains at the expense of long-term benefits, which may ultimately harm the very stakeholders that such regulation is designed to advantage.

Published: February 2024

This article, structured through in-depth and rigorous bibliographical research, focuses on the importance of movement and the body in nursery school as privileged elements for interacting with the world by starting one's own path of acquiring a personality style. In fact, the school, together with the family and the social sector, has the great responsibility of instructing and educating with all the knowledge for a complete education, taking care of and welcoming subjects of developmental age. One of its main purposes is to initiate the full development of the personality for complete maturation by providing knowledge that uses all languages (verbal and non-verbal) with concrete and tangible skills for the future man citizen. We focus on how, from early childhood, the body connects the self with things, with the environment, and with others, enhancing everyone's experience from an early age, from cognitive, sensorial, emotional points of view, social, and relational through the body, placing it as the protagonist and creating contexts in which to build meanings and diversified paths. The emphasis is on carrying out multiple and different recreational-motor activities in a positive and stimulating environment, leaving the child time to experiment and internalize at his own pace, allowing him to build his self-image (perception, knowledge, conscience), gradually exploring and learning through it.

Published: February 2024

The purpose of this research is to determine the important role of learning evaluation in the learning process at SMK Negeri 1 Karanganyar. Assessment is a very important part of learning and teaching. If learning is important to foster students' spiritual development, then assessment needs to function as an informant to assess the success of learning. Without evaluation activities, it is impossible to find information about the pros and cons of the teaching activities carried out. In some rules, ethics and behavior cannot be ignored in evaluation. Therefore, it is very important to carry out an evaluation of the learning itself. This research approach is descriptive qualitative in which the informant is an Islamic Religious Education teacher who teaches at SMK Negeri 1 Karanganyar. He was chosen by the researcher because he felt he was experienced and had the criteria to answer the questions given by the researcher. An in-depth semi-structured one-on-one interview was conducted to examine his views regarding the important role of learning evaluation in the learning process at SMK Negeri 1 Karanganyar. This research found that in the evaluation stage at SMK Negeri 1 Karanganyar, the evaluation process activities at this school were carried out well. This is very useful for teachers and students, this can be seen from the evaluation process which consists of affective, cognitive and psychomotor assessments.

In this research, a machine learning approach, especially a decision tree model, is implemented to improve the analysis and visualization of weighbridge data in Indonesia. The evaluation results show that the decision tree model provides better insight in predicting the carrying capacity, dimensions and loading procedures of vehicles. The advantage of this model lies in its combination of low Mean Squared Error (MSE) and high R-squared, indicating its effectiveness in capturing data variance and providing accurate predictions. The use of decision tree models can be a valuable tool in improving the visualization of bridge weighing data, allowing users to gain additional insights and understand the complex dynamics within the data. In addition, the model's adaptability to various types of data makes it a versatile analysis tool. The positive implications of using this model open up opportunities to understand more deeply the logic of predictions and make more informed decisions. As a suggestion, increasing the number and quality of weighing equipment, wider application of information and communication technology, human resource training, and cross-sector collaboration can further strengthen weighbridge management in Indonesia.

Abstract
Ciguatera poisoning has significant implications, affecting both the physical health of individuals and exerting influence on the economic and social well-being of populations living in affected areas. This study aims to evaluate the level of literacy proficiency among coastal populations in Gili Matra, Indonesia, in connection to their understanding of the Ciguatera phenomena and its potential impact on local economic activities. Through the utilization of a qualitative research approach, the present study discovered that a significant proportion of residents living in the coastal area of Gili Matra had a restricted understanding of the Ciguatera phenomena. Although the immediate economic effects on the local community may be limited, it is crucial to educate the public about this phenomenon to increase public awareness, particularly in terms of preventing the occurrence of CFP.
