The European Union and Russia

Report with Evidence

By: Great Britain. Parliament. House of Lords. European Union Committee

The relationship between the European Union and Russia has been going through a difficult phase with disputes over energy supplies, foreign policy issues, and tension between Russia and individual Member States. The change of presidency in Russia provides an opportunity to take stock and to consider whether this deterioration can and should be reversed. Russian politicians emphasise the importance of the relationship. This report discusses how the relationship might be developed in practice. The report examines Russia as a European country, its recent history, and the current economic situation in Russia. It then considers the institutional framework for Russia-EU relations, including the Partnership and Co-operation Agreement. The Committee believes closer co-operation should be fostered in several areas of common interest: economic, freedom, security and justice, research and education and culture. Energy is an important subject: there are concerns about whether Russia can supply sufficient gas and oil to meet its current and foreseeable domestic demand and international commitments. The security of energy supply to the EU is vital. The Russian view of international security issues is also very different from that of the West, and developments in the near neighbourhood of Russia are a very sensitive geopolitical area. Russian support for Serbia is contrasted with their co-operation on Iran. The two sides work together usefully on the Middle East, terrorism, non-proliferation, and other issues. The EU should continue and strengthen its efforts to reach common ground with the Russians on such international issues, but should also speak out if the Russian government falls short of the standards it has formally accepted in a number of international agreements.

An EU Competition Court

report with evidence, 15th report of session 2006-07

By: Great Britain: Parliament: House of Lords: European Union Committee

Large cross-border mergers have to be cleared in advance by the EC Commission. If the Commission prohibits a merger, or a third party objects to the clearance, the decision can be challenged in the Court of First Instance (CFI). However the CFI procedure can take several months, thereby prolonging uncertainty and sometimes causing bids to be abandoned. This is unsatisfactory and the CBI has proposed a new Competition Court as the way forward. This report looks at this proposal and concludes that such a court would not be the best way forward. Instead there is scope for improving current procedures by firmer case management, reducing the work load of the CFI by transferring trade mark cases, and improving the Commission's handling of cases to reduce the number and scope of challenges.

Increasing the Supply of Donor Organs Within the European Union

Report

By: Great Britain. Parliament. House of Lords. European Union Committee

In May 2007, the European Commission issued a communication relating to organ donation and transplantation. This made a number of proposals for actions which were designed to help increase the supply of donor organs across the EU. The two major elements were: first, the introduction of a directive aimed at setting standards for the quality and safety of organ donation and transplantation across the EU; and, second, the establishment of an action plan for closer cooperation between Member States in sharing experiences and best practice. This Report brings together evidence relating to the Commission's proposals and draws conclusions about their merits. It also sets out evidence received about a range of matters relating to organ donation which are not within Community competence but which are of central relevance to the shortage of organs for donation: the Organ Donation Taskforce's recent recommendations for the re-organisation of the health infrastructure in the UK; and the proposal, by the Chief Medical Officer for England, that current legislation in England should be changed in order to create a "presumed consent" or "opt-out" system for organ donation in place of the existing "opt-in" system. The Committee's conclusion is that the proposals set out in the Commission's communication would help to raise the numbers of organs available for transplantation as well as the overall safety and quality of those organs. The proposed directive should not be overly bureaucratic and should not inhibit the application of expert clinical judgement and informed patient choice.

EU Consumer Rights Directive

getting it right , 18th report of session 2008-09, Vol. 1: Report

By: Great Britain: Parliament: House of Lords: European Union Committee

A review of the existing body of EU consumer law (known as the consumer acquis) culminated in the European Commission's publication of a draft Directive on consumer rights, proposing to replace four of the existing Directives making up the consumer acquis. The draft Directive's aim is to simplify the existing regulatory framework and provide for a real business-to-consumer internal market, balancing a high level of consumer protection with the competitiveness of enterprises. The Committee recommends that the Government withholds agreement from the proposal as drafted. It are unconvinced that it will deliver the desired boost in trade across borders and it may reduce the overall level of protection currently afforded to consumers. Further progress on the Directive should await a more complete impact assessment, addressing issues such as the lack of concrete statistics underpinning this proposal and the exclusion of digital goods and pure services from its scope. The Committee agrees that there is a need to update the existing Directives, not least due to inconsistencies between them over key definitions and the fragmentation of the business-to-consumer internal market that has resulted from Member States being able to introduce provisions that go beyond the minimum set down in the Directives. The Commission's solution is to apply the principle of "full harmonisation", but the Committee would prefer to see a more targeted use of this principle, harmonising certain aspects but allowing Member States room for manoeuvre in other areas.

1991 The Protection of Human Rights in Europe Vol. II Book 2

By: Academy of European Law Staff

Your invitation to me, as the President of the European Court of Human Rights, to conclude this year's study programme on the protection of hu man rights in Europe by delivering the prestigious Winston Churchill lec ture is a great honour not only for me personally but for the European Court of Human Rights as a whole, and I should like to thank the European Uni versity Institute and its Academy of European Law most warmly for giving me this opportunity. You are fortunate to have had the opportunity of following a week long general course on the protection of human rights in Europe given by my col league and friend Carl Aage N0rgaard, the President of the European Commission of Human Rights. To speak after hirn, in order to bring to a close your study programme, makes my task in some respects easier be cause I can take it for granted that you now have a clear and comprehensive understanding of the guarantees and the functioning of the European Con vention on Human Rights. On the other hand, it is, I must confess, not without a certain apprehension that I take the floor at this juncture because I am very weIl aware of how difficult it is to keep the attention of an audi ence which has had the privilege of hearing Carl Aage N0rgaard on more or less the same subject.

European supervision order

report with evidence, 31st report of session 2006-07

By: Great Britain: Parliament: House of Lords: European Union Committee

It is estimated that at any one time 4,500 EU nationals are held in custody in countries other than their normal place of residence. As they are less likely to be granted bail (because of a greater perceived of absconsions) the Commission has proposed a European supervision order (ESO), which would mean that authorities in a person's home State would also be responsible for returning them for trial. This report examines the proposal in detail and makes some recommendations for improvement. The Committee welcome the proposal and think it deserves prompt attention by Member States.
