The author proposes here “the first Romanian attempt at a hermeneutic systematization of the philosophy of European law”, a field that is approached from an organic, integrating perspective. It has to be seen as a synchronic lectio magistralis on the ineluctable role of the spiritual roots when deciphering and assuming national identity. The complicated “euronomosophical” discourse, whose beginning is an excellent page of self-history about the “Europe” of the author, voices an appeal to a deeper self-knowledge. A complex, dynamic reality: from euromyth to euro-oniria and PaxEuropaea. Such incursions into the universe of law certainly involve an instructive and pedagogical side, building a patchwork of ideas, suggestions and themes that could be further developed.

Wskazując na ogólne tendencje rozwojowe prawa karnego, nie można przeceniać roli procesu jego „europeizacji”. Zjawisko to należy oceniać przede wszystkim w kontekście rosnącej roli procedur. Jak pisze A. Lach, materialne prawo karne jest dziedziną mniej objętą działaniem prawa europejskiego niż prawo procesowe4. Właśnie do instytucji procesowych odnoszą się głównie inicjatywy dotyczące harmonizacji prawa karnego. Wspólny dla wszystkich Europejczyków kodeks karny nie powstanie, tak jak nie ma szans na powstanie kodeksu karnego o charakterze ogólnoludzkim. Podobnie L. Tyszkiewicz wskazuje, iż nie należy się łudzić, że powstanie chociażby częściowy, lecz ogólnoświatowy system prawa karnego. Trzeba podkreślić, mimo że to truizm, iż europeizacja jest tylko jednym z możliwych kierunków rozwoju prawa karnego, gdyż kierunki te wyznaczane są przez różnorakie, często przeciwstawne, tendencje oraz procesy zachodzące we współczesnym świecie. Powstanie oraz funkcje Unii Europejskiej łączą się z procesem globalizacji, z kolei odpowiedzią na globalizację jest glokalizacja (regionalizacja), przejawiająca się w dążności różnych grup etnicznych i innych wspólnot terytorialnych do uzyskania możliwie szerokiej autonomii regionalnej.

The author focuses particulary on the appraisal of Europeisation of substantive criminal law. The article also discusses some theoretical problems connected with evolution of substantive criminal law. First, the implications of the fact, that the modern state no longer seems to be the exclusive guarantor of order and social security. Next, the concept of restorative justice. One of the problems discussed is also the crisis of modern criminal law. Criminal law has proved to be ineffective. Europeisation of criminal law can be regarded as a response to the crisis of substantive criminal law. However, the creation of one European legal regulation, especially in the field of penal law is, not an easy task. Europeisation stays in conflict with traditional, local manner of the creation of criminal law and its ethical dimension. However, ideas of European criminal law should be taken seriously. The reform should take into consideration the possibility of creating european penal code. Also, basing on the principles of restorative justice, a revision of substantive criminal law should be done. In conclusion, Europeanisation can be a step in the right direction.

The year 2021 marked the 30th anniversary of the entry into force of the Social Security Agreement between the Republic of Poland and the Federal Republic of Germany, drawn up in Warsaw on 8 December 1990. In this connection, it is worth emphasising both its timeless significance and the impact it has had on the legal orders of Poland and Germany. The progressive political and economic integration of Europe has resulted in both countries redefining pension rights in Polish-German relations. It should be recalled that only a few days earlier, on 14 November 1990, Poland and Germany had signed an agreement on a common border on the Oder and Lusatian Neisse rivers. This played a huge role in the history of both countries. This was due to the fact that at the Potsdam Conference in 1945, when the course of the common German-Polish border was decided, neither side had a seat at the conference table and had any influence on the outcome of the negotiations.

The issue of re-nationalization (disintegration and fragmentation) of integration process is manifested by the will of some of the Member States to verify their relations with the European Union. In the age of an economic crisis of the EU and in relation to the large migration of the population, there has emerged strong social and political criticism, on the European level, of the integration process, with some Member States even consideringtheir withdrawal from the EU. In those States, demands forextending the Member States’ competences in the field of some EU policies are becoming more and more popular. The legal effects of the above-mentioned processes are visible in the free movements of the internal market, mainly within the free movement of persons. Therefore, there are problems, such as increased social dumping process, the need to retain the output of the European labour law, the issue of the so-called social tourism, erosion of the meaning of the EU citizenship and the principle of equal treatment.

The Europeanisation process for criminal law still faces many challenges today. The first of them is the concept of state sovereignty in the matter of criminal jurisdiction. The European arrest warrant (EAW) exemplifies the successful Europeanisation of criminal legal procedure. The EAW has introduced a new principle of so – called, surrendering, to another Member State of the European Union, for criminal prosecution. Unlike extradition proceedings, the whole process of surrendering a citizen pursuant to an EAW rests solely with the courts. No review by an executive body is required, as it is presumed that, if surrendered to another Member State, the surrendered person’s rights – in particular, their right to a fair trial will not be jeopardised. The EAW, with its attending surrender mechanism, is thus a signifier of mutual trust between Member States.

W obliczu integracji europejskiej, doniosłego znaczenia nabiera prawna ochrona symboli narodowych. Współczesne czasy nie są spokojne. Liczne konflikty, których etiologia ma charakter społeczny, polityczny, nakazują próbę dokonania scjentystycznego oglądu sytuacji. W niniejszym artykule zbadam zakres normowania ochrony barw narodowych w prawie polskim i włoskim oraz wspólnotowym. W badaniach uwzględnię historyczne i współczesne orzecznictwo sądowe. Spróbuję udzielić odpowiedzi na pytanie o to, czy na gruncie prawa polskiego zakres ochrony barw wspólnotowych jest wystarczający? Analiza zbadanych aktów normatywnych doprowadziła mnie do wniosku o tym, że polski prawodawca po odzyskaniu niepodległego bytu państwowego przywiązywał dużą wagę do normatywnych podstaw mających zapewnić ochronę barwom jako symbolom narodowym. Włoska regulacja konstytucyjna, w porównaniu do polskiej, w zakresie barw narodowych jest bardzo skąpa. Pomimo regulacji wspólnotowej, każde z państw członkowskich – na skutek rozwoju historycznego – wykształciło własny model tej ochrony. Barwy Unii Europejskiej nie są expressis verbis chronione na gruncie polskich regulacji normatywnych. Moim zdaniem, de lege ferenda, dla pewności obrotu prawnego, należałoby stan prawny w tym zakresie zmienić i stosowne normy subrogować.

In the face of the European integration, the legal protection of national symbols enjoys momentous significance. The present turbulent times and numerous conflicts, the etiology of which is – e.g. social or political in nature – require an attempt to make a scientific overview of the situation. In this article I will examine the scope of standardization of the protection of national colors in the Polish law, the Italian law and the Community legislation. The study takes into account the historical and contemporary judicial decisions. I will try to answer the question whether the scope of protection of the Community colors in the Polish law is sufficient? The analysis of the examined normative acts has led me to the conclusion that the Polish legislator, after the restoration of independent statehood, attached a great importance to the normative grounds ensuring protection of colors of the national symbols. The Italian constitutional adjustment, compared to the Polish one in the scope of the national colors, is very sparse. Aside from the Community rules, each member state – as a result of historical development – has developed its own model of protection. The colors of the European Union are not expressly protected under the Polish normative regulations. However, de lege ferenda, I reckon that for the interests of legal certainty, the legal status in this field should be amended and relevant norms should be laid down.

The year 1993 marked the establishment of formal EU citizenship and, subsequently, special relations were forged between the earlier status of the individual, a subject of internal market freedoms, and the notion of political EU citizenship. The social and welfare rights of individuals were strengthened, thus enabling a deeper integration. The social rights in the EU’s legal system play a special role in the construction of EU citizenship as they add meaning to the notion of citizenship and go beyond the traditional, economic dimension of integration. What links the constructs of market citizenship and social citizenship is the strong emphasis on the individual’s right to their status, and to rights which can be exercised effectively. Recently, political and economic citizenships have merged. However, this process has been confronted with resistance from some member states, particularly the ones with wealthy social protection systems. This has been caused by the abuse of rights by migrants from other member states, i.e., through so-called social tourism.

The term ‘beneficiary’ used for the purposes of spending the EU aid funds was introduced into the Polish legal system before Poland became member of the European Union. Initially, the national legislator used this term only in the domestic regulations on the basis of which public funds were transferred. Over time, the legislator also introduced the definition of the beneficiary to national regulations adapted to the needs of the cohesion policy. It can be observed that the legislator, while initially providing own definitions of the beneficiary, recently has only referred to particular provisions of the directly applicable EU regulations. Obviously, national authorities must operate in an integrated legal system, in which there are many sources of binding law that define ‘beneficiaries of funds allocated to the implementation of the cohesion policy’. In this context, one can speak of the Europeanisation of national law with regard to the implemented policy.

The article concerns primarily the effects of the membership of the European Union on national (Polish) law and, to a limited extent, on the political system of a state. The conclusions presented in the article are of universal value. Although the article deals with Polish affairs, the principles, tendencies and consequences identified are typical of the relationship state – the EU, both before and after accession, regardless of the state concerned. It should be, however, noted that the path to membership and the membership itself are different in each case. The practice of the Polish membership of the European Union, its systemic dimension and the changes in the national legal system (Europeanisation) do not differ significantly than in the case of other Member States. Europeanisation of Polish law, politics, economy, culture and society has been in progress since the 1990s. One can differentiate between two stages of Europeanisation: before and after Poland’s EU accession, each characterised by different conditions. Over time, this process, on the whole, has been undergoing numerous changes but it has never weakened in importance. Poland faces issues such as poor legitimation of integration processes, supremacy of the government over the parliament, passivity of parliamentary committees in controlling the government and EU institutions in the decision making process, as well as dilution of responsibility for decisions taken within the EU. The process of Europeanisation relies mostly on direct application of the standards of EU law in the national legal system, implementation of directives into national law and harmonisation or standardisation of national legal solutions so that they comply with the EU framework. It is also reception of a common, European (Union) axiology.

Mediation is an integral part of contemporary criminal law. It represents an implementation of restorative justice elements in penal policy. This allows the victim of a crime to be perceived no longer solely as a means of proof, but he or she becomes a lawful subject of criminal procedure, whose rights must be respected by everyone and whose interests must be fully protected. This paper, after presenting the idea of restorative justice, reviews European regulations on mediation in criminal cases firstly and in cases which include minors secondly.

The paper presents the problem of public interest in the context of water law act established in 2017. In the article, general problems of water-law relations, the institution of public interest itself and European water law are described. The analysis is about conceptual grid of the act and its cohesion, and compatibility with Rules of Proper Legislation. The author assumes that water law regulations have a specific subject, thus, they must be focused on the guarantee of public interest.

The article provides an overview of consumer protection measures designed to ensure the rights of owners and users of virtual currencies. The authors state that there is an ongoing debate in the EU about the legal qualification of virtual currencies as financial instruments. It is contrary to the initial purpose of virtual currencies which was the payment function. The authors attempt to answer the question which EU law should cover the virtual currencies, MIFID2 or PSD2, as the legal qualification will be crucial for consumer rights. They claim that the position adopted by the European legislative should provide the fullest possible scope of consumer protection.

This article aims synthetically to refer to discussion between Polish academiclawyers about the controversies regarding to reduction of a specified sum in “agreed or stipulated payment for non-performance” in art. 484 § 2 of Polish Civil Code. These conclusions, resulting from the analysis of Polish private law - will be referring to the same reduction-clause in three selected acts of contracts model law: UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts, the Principles of European Contract Law and the Draft Common Frame of Reference. The last part of this article contains the conclusions de lege ferenda from comparative analysis.

The article’s research aims to answer whether constitutional identity (as well as numerous doctrinal studies concerning constitutional identity) may substantially help solve problems regarding the relationship between European law and national law. The article discusses the hypothesis that the identity and the studies multiply doubts and uncertainty rather than answer the pragmatic questions in constitutional law. The author deals with identity as a social construct and convention created by academics and constitutional courts. Identity belongs primarily to the dictionary of academic language. It is rarely used in normative acts, in particular in constitutional provisions. The constitutional identity seems to be also vague and controversial for the author. Nevertheless, studies on identity may – as the article suggests – realise at least one (constitutionally important) aim. It is a better self-consciousness of constitutional law scholars, which may help them – at the end of the day – to discuss the relationship between European law and national law in more and more precise terms.

The aim of this paper is to present the concept of Better Regulation (BetReg), in particular its implementation mechanisms in light of the latest documents of EU bodies and its application in the European Union legislative procedures. It will illustrate both viable aspects and shortcomings of this initiative. The authors argue that the better regulation postulate has a horizontal nature. It is an initiative that brings tangible and noticeable effects; however, it must be applied as an EU legislative standard for the whole EU law: not only for that being designed or amended but also for assessing the existing law in all EU law-making institutions and countries implementing European legislation. A question is raised whether BetReg has a real impact on legislative practice or whether it remains predominantly a postulate. The hypothesis is that BetReg is already a mature project and may significantly improve the legislative environment in the EU. It should be noted that the paper covers only a fraction of the problems, the comprehensive examination of which would allow verification of the hypothesis.

The proclamation of rights without contextual means to ensure. is not an effective source of justice and leads to a justice crisis. A new ‘model’ must be proposed , which sees the Roman law and process as a source of innovative suggestions and ideas that apply to the present. In particular, it is important to emphasize the ‘Treaties’ as threatening to man and the environment. The Roman law indicates the way to prevent the underlying economic and financial reign of the few.

La proclamazione di diritti senza contestuale strumenti che ne assicurino l’effettività è fonte di crisi de diritto e della Giustizia. Occorre proporre un nuovo ‘modello’, per il quale il diritto ed il processo romano appaiono fonte di suggestioni e di spunti innovativi applicabili anche all’oggi. In particolare è inammissibile l’enfatizzazione dei ‘Trattati’ sino al punto di minacciare l’uomo e l’ambiente. Il diritto romano indica la via per impedire l’assoggettamento agli interessi economico- finanziari di pochi.

After the accession of several Central and Eastern European countries to the European Union in 2004, new challenges arose for their highest judicial institutions to define and shape the relationship between the national and European legal order. This paper assesses the first decade of the effort of the Slovak Constitutional Court (SCC) in interpreting the relationship between domestic and EU law via applying the concept of constitutional pluralism which presumes a specific relationship between the legal orders characterized by their heterarchical structure, mutual interaction and cooperation rather than of a hierarchical, monistic structure, governed by clash over dominance. Answering the research question how the SCC has positioned itself vis-à-vis the constitutional monism v. pluralism dilemma can offer an insight on the general relationship between domestic and EU law in Slovakia. By analysing statutory law, selected judgments and reviewing secondary literature, the paper argues that the SCC seems to have chosen the monistic, hierarchical approach to the relationship, having rejected constitutional pluralism. At the same time, this position is not articulated clearly enough due to the veil of secrecy that to some extent still prevails over the SCC’s doctrinal attitudes to EU law. The findings of the paper, which combines conceptual analysis of constitutional pluralism with review of relevant legal provisions and case law, demonstrate the need for a more active and straightforward approach of the SCC when dealing with the challenges of EU law.
