Evaluating the effectiveness of policies and regulations to protect water resources from peri-urban expansion in Chile, Brazil, and Australia
Every country faces unique challenges to protect the quantity and quality of its water resources, whereas the legal instruments warranting such protection vary in their degree of success in accomplishing their goal. We evaluated the dynamics of peri-urban expansion (UE) through multitemporal satellite images and the environmental regulatory tools in three protected areas (PAs) used as water reservoirs located in three countries in the southern he…

I. EC Maritime Transport Law and Policy
The EC maritime transport policy was slow to develop. Although the EC Treaty requires the Member States to create a Common Transport Policy, 1 the focus of the Treaty transport provisions 2 is on inland modes of transport (road, rail and inland waterways). 3 However, the EU Council is expressly given competence to decide what ‘appropriate provisions’ may be adopted for maritime and air transport. 4 Maritime transport is by its very nature an inte…
II. Competition Law
The period under review (Autumn 2003–December 2006) saw in not only the expansion of the Union from 15 to 25 Member States, but also the attendant ‘big bang’, on 1 May 2004, in competition rules with the entry into operation of Regulations 1/2003 and 139/2004. The changes introduced by Regulation 1/2003 1 —primarily abandoning the notification/authorization procedure which had obtained since 1962 in favour of a directly effective Article 81(3) an…
I. Fundamental Rights
The goal of constructing an Area of Freedom, Security and Justice across the Union was agreed at the Tampere EU Summit of 1999. The objective was to create the conditions in which EU citizens could exercise their rights of free movement while at the same time addressing legitimate security concerns. Central to this debate has been the need to ensure that not only are the free movement rights granted by the Treaty protected, but that more broadly,…
III. Financial Market Regulation in the Post-Financial Services Action Plan Era
After a hectic period of law reform, which has also provoked major governance reforms in the form of significantly increased levels of transparency and market consultation and major institutional innovations (with allied accountability and governance risks), the 1999 Financial Services Action Plan (FSAP) 1 has now been completed. It has radically transformed the regulatory landscape for financial services in the EC, and set a seal on the recharac…
II. Eu Citizenship
The Court has continued with its expansive interpretation of the Citizenship provisions in Article 18 EC which it had previously acknowledged as being a fundamental right granted to all EU citizens by the Treaty. 1 The case-law of the Court has, in particular, stressed the relationship between the free movement rights under Article 18 EC and preventing discrimination against EU nationals on grounds of nationality and without which the Citizenship…
I. Social Policy
The wide range of developments in social policy has necessitated dividing this commentary into two parts. The first part will examine discrimination law developments; the second part, published inthe next issue, will look at general employment law developments
Current Developments: I. Competition Law
By any measure the single most important development across the field of Community competition law during the period under review (Spring 2001–Autumn 2003) is the adoption of Regulation 1/2003, by which the Pope abandoned the Vatican for the embrace of the Free Presbyterian Church. Regulation 17 has been the bedrock of the enforcement of the Community rules since 1962. 1 Fundamental changes to it, first proposed by the Commission in 1999, 2 were …
European Community Law
The previous contribution on the current developments in Transport focused on problems of financing new infrastructure and on the allocation of the true costs of transport among those who generated them. 1 In 1999 a directive on charging heavy vehicles for the use of certain infrastructures was finally adopted. 2 During the period under review, infrastructure matters and safety and environmental concerns remained high on the agenda of the Common …
II. External Relations
The last account of developments in the external relations of the European Union, described how the Treaty of Amsterdam, which had just entered into force, had reformed the Common Foreign and Security Policy. Three years on one can begin to assess the impact of these changes
I. ‘With or Without me’: The ECJ Adopts a Pose of Studied Neutrality Towards EU Enlargement
In three judgments delivered on 27 September 2001, the European Court of Justice ruled on the legal effects of clauses in the Europe Agreements which accord candidate country nationals limited rights to establish themselves as self-employed persons in the Member States of the European Union (EU). 1 The Court refused to interpret these provisions as steps on the road to full-fledged EU membership which should be given a dynamic reading in order to…
III. Law and Environmental Governance in the EU
In December 1999, in Helsinki, the European Council requested the Commission ‘to prepare a proposal for a long-term strategy dovetailing policies for economically, socially and ecologically sustainable development’. The Commission presented this proposal to the Gothenburg European Council in June 2001, 1 resulting in the launch of the European Union's strategy for sustainable development. 2 In keeping with the resolution that the annual spring Eu…
I. Constitutional Aspects
The Commission resigned on 16th March 1999 shortly after the publication of the First Report of the Committee of Independent Experts. 1 The Committee had been created by common agreement between the European Parliament and the Commission in order to address the persistent allegations of fraud, mismanagement and nepotism levelled at the Commission. 2 The First Report investigated allegations of fraud against individual commissioners and the Commis…
Free Movements of Goods
Since the expiry of the deadline for the completion of the internal market at the end of 1992, the Commission has shifted its focus away from piloting an intense rule-making burst through the Community legislative system. As part of its quest to establish reliable methods for managing the internal market, the Commission is now overtly concerned to improve the quality of those adopted laws, for example by securing simplification and consolidation,…
II. Human Rights
At the Nice Summit in December 2000, Europe's political leaders adopted the much-discussed EU Charter on Fundamental Rights in the form of a legally non-binding political declaration. It is the second such instrument in relation to human rights protection. 1 The Presidency Conclusions to both the 1999 Cologne and Tampere Summits ordered the preparation of a draft Charter which was to be solemnly proclaimed by the European Parliament, the Commissi…
IV. Intellectual Property
This Journal's previous piece on current developments in EC intellectual property noted that this area of law is dominated by the drive towards harmonisation. 1 This drive continues, and its success has been such that it can now begin to be seen in an overarching context of globalisation. The idea of a unified global system for the protection of intellectual property now seems at least conceivable, even if not immediately achievable. It is even p…
III. Competition
The period under review (Autumn 1999–Spring 2001) saw a number of important cases decided by the Court of Justice involving breaches of Article 81(1). Pre-eminent are three judgments involving cartels and one involving distribution contracts
