The article deals with the procedure for assessment of conformity of bills with the EU law in the United Kingdom. In the British legal system, due to the principle of duality, international law (including EU law) has an impact on domestic law only through acts of national parliament. Moreover, the principle of sovereignty of parliament is applied. Bills are checked for their compliance with EU law on the government’s drafting stage. In the course of legislative work in Parliament compliance of bills with EU law is not assessed.

In recent years, a tormenting phenomenon can be observed related to the decreasing number of transplants performed due to the limited amount of patron organs. This fact has become an opportunity to analyse the European Union’s regulations of transplantations. The achievements of the Council of Europe and the European Union in terms of organ donation and transplantation has been presented in detail with a conclusion heading towards the dangerous commercialization process of transplantations. This article presents also the standards developed by the European Union in regard to transplantology which clearly supports the fact that organ donation should be on non-profit and altruistic basis excluding commercial aspects.

Freedom of contract and corrective justice are considered to be the basic principles governing contract law. However, many contemporary legal orders implement various policy goals into private law. The regulatory private law of the European Union is the most striking example of such a trend. This article aims at reconciling the corrective justice theory of private law and the principle of freedom of contract with the regulatory dimension of the EU law. The main argument is that the meaning of the concept of harm, one that is crucial to the principle of corrective justice, should be understood broadly so that it can transform the corrective justice theory from a monistic one into a pluralistic one.

Regulation of this matter is based on the specific division of lawmaking powers – in the Fifth Republic, which makes the government superior to the parliament. Although the change in the Constitution in 2008 greatly depleted the government’s prerogatives in the legislative procedure, it also imposed new obligations on the government to draft laws of better quality. The government is still the main actor in the legislative process. It is also responsible for ensuring progress in the implementation of EU legislation in France and for conformity of French national legislation with EU law.

Upon entry into force of the accession treaty, Poland – as a member state of the European Union – became bound by the body of EU law (the acquis communautaire), including its primary and secondary law as well as the interpretation of EU law contained in the Court of Justice of the European Union case-law. Due to a very close approximation of Polish legislation to EU law – resulting from the obligation to consider, employ, and apply in the process of implementing the former a number of EU legal acts, i.e. regulations, directives, as well as acts of soft law such as guidelines and recommendations that are not acts of common law – the problem of the scope of application of EU law within the Polish legal system has occurred; this problem, or a gap in the legal sense, has been addressed and resolved, to a large extent, by case-law of the CJEU.

The article presents the impact of European Union law on civil procedural law of the Member States, as exemplified by Polish law. The author distinguishes between three levels of such influence, i.e. the level of respect for EU primary law, the level on which EU legislation in procedural matters functions together with national civil procedural law and, finally, the level of implementation of EU law in the context of national procedural law. Each level is illustrated by different practical examples of how civil procedural law is established and applied in Poland. The author concludes that the impact of EU law on domestic civil procedural law is one of the main challenges faced today by civil procedural law.

In Germany, the Ministry of Justice plays a central role in assessing the compatibility of draft federal laws with EU legislation. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and other ministries are also involved in this process. The Federal Minister of Justice may raise an “objection” to any bill which is inconsistent with the law (including EU law). Each new bill requires an explanatory statement which must also deal with the relationship of the bill and the EU law (with few exceptions). In fact, the responsibility for ensuring that the law adopted by the Bundestag is consistent with EU law rests primarily on the Federal Government and, within it, primarily on the legal services of the Federal Ministry of Justice.

Pursuant to the Regulation (EC) No 562/2006 of the European Parliament and Council establishing a Community Code on the rules governing the movement of persons across borders (Schengen Borders Code) border control and determining the possibility of entry to the European Union apply individually to every third country national. One of the conditions of entry of third country nationals into the Union is to have a visa. EU law indicates those third countries whose nationals must be in possession of visa when crossing the external borders of the Union. This requirement applies also to citizens of Russia. The existence of reasons for refusing entry stipulated in the EU law obliges competent authorities of Members States to issue a decision to refuse entry to the European Union for third country national.

The opinion presents major differences in the legal situation of clients- entrepreneurs in relation to (legally privileged) recipients being household owners and consumers. Moreover, the author presents legal arguments for an extension of the protection standard regarding privileged entrepreneurs to micro-entrepreneurs and small entrepreneurs under the European Union legislation and in compliance with the national one. The opinion contains arguments for a specific national legislation, which would provide content to the state obligation to provide assistance to the development of entrepreneurship, in particular the micro-entrepreneurs, and which would facilitate an effective use of liberties of a uniformed EU market in the trans-border dimension.

The study aims at an analysis of the Article 345 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. The author presents the relation between European Union law and the member state law regulating property ownership.

The paper is focused on discussing grounds for restricting the freedom of establishment as settled by the CJEU in C-55/94, Gebhard. The analysis shows that the possibility of imposing restrictions on economic activity should be carefully examined at the stage of adoption of national law, as it falls to the Member State to prove that national provisions meet conditions laid down in the EU legislation and the CJEU case law.

The aim of this article is to analyse how in the globalisation process small nations appear in danger of disappearing. Can law protect national identity when the state is in the European Union?Globalisation together with the economic interests of states touches other spheres of society: national internal policy, education, mass media, the policy of family, migration. The birth rate in families in such big nations as Germany, France, and Italy is small. If numerous Italians, French, Polish, and Russians are worried about the constantly decreasing number of their inhabitants, no doubt that small nations are in danger of assimilation.The European Union is an unprecedented formation of law: states retain their independence and at the same time people by their free will limit the sovereignty of a state. The 57th Article of the EU Constitution clearly states that "the Law of the Union is higher than the national [law]." It is as if the European States are united in the form of a federation, though the concept of a federation state cannot be applied strictly. The first condition for each new candidate state is to be a democratic and law-based state. The law-based state means legal elections, authorities elected by the people, separation of three state functions (legislative, executive and judicial), respect for human rights, protection of the rights of national and religious minorities. Good relations with neighbours are always appreciated. The new EU constitution contains 400 pages. The Constitutional Agreement or EU Constitution was approved by the Council of the European Union in June of 2004. Each state ratifies the Agreement. Some EU countries plan the referendums. The Parliament of Lithuania refused the referendum. It was planned that the Agreement will come into force in 2009. The Constitution of the EU requires that the National Governments of Member States will not interfere in implementing the aims of the Union. The 58th Article deals with loyalty to the Union. The institutions established by the EU work with human points of view and have a society model which is supported by the majority of the citizens.In this article an attempt will also be made to evaluate the role of Christianity and its values for the legal system of the EU as well as for preserving national identity.

In the introduction to the subject matter there is a draft of the status of binding provisions in the scope of European civil process law. Next it is subject to analysis the judicature concerning regulation 44/2001 (Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 of 22 December 2000 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters).

The purpose of this paper is to analyse selected legal issues that arise from the Agreement on a Unified Patent Court and, in particular, the questions which emerge when it comes to the legal status of that Court in light of the European Union law, or doubts regarding the compatibility of the UPC Agreement with the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. First, the content of the UPC Agreement and the conditions precedent to its entry into force are presented. After that, the status of the UPC is analysed against the background of its provisions describing the Unified Patent Court as a ‘court common to the Contracting Member States’ and ‘part of their judicial system.’ The analysis refers to opinion 1/09 of the Court of Justice of 8 March 2011 on the previously envisaged agreement aimed to constitute a European and European Union Patents Court. The question of permissibility, or rather constitutionality, of vesting the competences of the national judiciary to the jurisdiction of the UPC has been raised, together with a number of other reservations concerning the compability of the UCP Agreement with Poland’s constitutional order and contained in it standards of fundamental rights protection, such as the right to a fair trial (i.e. in the context of the language of proceedings before the UPC).

Celem artykułu jest analiza niektórych zagadnień prawnych wynikających na tle porozumienia w sprawie Jednolitego Sądu Patentowego (Agreement on a Unified Patent Court), w szczególności wątpliwości dotyczących statusu prawnego tego Sądu w świetle prawa Unii Europejskiej oraz zastrzeżeń co do zgodności porozumienia JSP z Konstytucją Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej. Po zwięzłym przedstawieniu zawartości porozumienia JSP (UPC Agreement) i warunków jego wejścia w życie autorka analizuje status JSP w świetle zawartych w nim postanowień określających ten Sąd jako „sąd wspólny dla umawiających się państw członkowskich” („court common to the Contracting Member States”) i „część ich systemu sądowego („part of their judicial system”). Analiza uwzględnia opinię 1/09 Trybunału Sprawiedliwości z 8 marca 2011 r., dotyczącą poprzednio przewidywanego porozumienia mającego utworzyć sąd ds. patentów europejskich i patentów Unii Europejskiej (European and European Union Patents Court). Na tle Konstytucji Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej wskazane zostały wątpliwości dotyczące dopuszczalności przekazania przez Polskę kompetencji w dziedzinie władzy sądowniczej (wymiaru sprawiedliwości) na rzecz JSP, a także liczne inne zastrzeżenia co do zgodności porozumienia JSP z polskim porządkiem konstytucyjnym i przewidzianymi w nim standardami ochrony praw podstawowych, takich jak prawo do sądu i rzetelnego procesu (np. w kontekście języków postępowania przed JSP).

The work submitted herein aims to address the question of effectiveness of EU law. Effectiveness of that law is subject to an ongoing controversy, as there is no agreement in legal literature either on the legal status of effectiveness or its use by the Court of Justice of the European Union. The author undertakes to outline the grounding of effectiveness in EU law in relation to both written law and jurisprudence of the Court. The work assumes the use of the descriptive approach in the legal doctrine, specifically the explanatory non-normative legal doctrine by A.R. Mackor. In this manner, this paper elects to present descriptive statements with extensive use of the Court’s case law as a feature to establish the content of applicable law. This work takes account of the law and jurisprudence as they were on 11th of October 2015.

Commercial arbitration in Poland has to face contemporary problems, including those related to the constant development of information technologies, and therefore new technologies. It is seen during the COVID pandemic. This article is intended to assess the state of Polish regulation on the background of European Union regulations in the abovementioned area and to propose potential changes to the Polish legislation[1] if they are needed.   [1] Karol Ryszkowski, “New technologies in the Polish commercial arbitration,” in Právo, obchod, ekonomika : zborník príspevkov (Právo - obchod - ekonomika), eds.

The proposal is part of the package of documents submitted by the European Commission to improve the institutional system of protection of the interests of the Union. As concerns the organization of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, the author contests the decentralized nature of that authority proposed by the European Commission. He points out the vague wording of some pars of the proposal. In his view, doubts relate to the independence of prosecutors exercising the functions of European Delegated Prosecutors. He opts for limiting the jurisdiction of that authority. According to the author, the proposed regulation does not violate the principle of proportionality. He concludes that joint investigation and prosecution of perpetrators of offences against the Union’s financial interests are in common interest of both Poland and the EU.

The aim of this article is to identify limitations of political independence of the Polish regulatory authorities. To that end the author presents the theoretical conception of political independence of regulatory authorities. Next, based on the EU directives in electronic communications and energy sectors, a standard of political independence of National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) is established. Using such a standard the author examines Polish statutory provisions which may present a threat to the independence of regulatory authorities. The main thesis of the article is that the legal status of the Polish regulatory authorities does not guarantee the level of independence required by the EU legislator. Therefore, the author suggests that the Polish regulatory authorities be removed from the government administration and linked with the parliament. Lastly, the articles discusses the current trend in the EU legal order to gradually widen the political independence of NRAs and the problems arising therefrom and makes de lege ferenda proposals in that sphere.
