What drives the European Parliament? The Case of the General Data Protection Regulation. Bruges Political Research Papers 47/2015.
This paper evaluates which factors influence the European Parliamentâs decision-making,
based on a case study: the 2012 proposal for a General Data Protection Regulation.
Following a âcompetitive testingâ approach, six different hypotheses are successively
challenged in order to explain why the EP adopted a fundamental rights- oriented position.
The first three factors relate to the internal organization of the EPâs work, i.e. the role
played by the lead committee, by the rapporteur and by secretariat officials. The last three
factors are external-related, i.e. lobbying activities, outside events and institutional
considerations.
Based on the empirical findings, it is argued that even though the EPâs position is due to a
range of various factors, some of them prove to be more relevant than others, in particular
the rapporteur and lead committeeâs roles. New institutionalism theories also provide a
comprehensive explanation for the EPâs willingness to achieve a fundamental rights
oriented outcome

Renal involvement in mitochondrial cytopathies
Mitochondrial cytopathies constitute a group of rare diseases that are characterized by their frequent multisystemic involvement, extreme variability of phenotype and complex genetics. In children, renal involvement is frequent and probably underestimated. The most frequent renal symptom is a tubular defect that, in most severe forms, corresponds to a complete De Toni-Debré-Fanconi syndrome. Incomplete proximal tubular defects and other tubular diseases have also been reported. In rare cases, patients present with chronic tubulo-interstitial nephritis or cystic renal diseases. Finally, a group of patients develop primarily a glomerular disease. These patients correspond to sporadic case reports or can be classified into two major defects, namely 3243 A>G tRNALEU mutations and coenzyme Q10 biosynthesis defects. The latter group is particularly important because it represents the only treatable renal mitochondrial defect. In this Educational Review, the principal characteristics of these diseases and the main diagnostic approaches are summarized

Panniculitis in Children
Panniculitides form a heterogenous group of inflammatory diseases that involve the subcutaneous adipose tissue. These disorders are rare in children and have many aetiologies. As in adults, the panniculitis can be the primary process in a systemic disorder or a secondary process that results from infection, trauma or exposure to medication. Some types of panniculitis are seen more commonly or exclusively in children, and several new entities have been described in recent years. Most types of panniculitis have the same clinical presentation (regardless of the aetiology), with tender, erythematous subcutaneous nodules. Although the patientâs age and the lesion site provide information, a histopathological assessment is sometimes required for a definitive diagnosis and classification of the disorder. In children, most panniculitides are lobular. At present, autoimmune inflammatory diseases and primary immunodeficiencies have been better characterised; panniculitis can be the presenting symptom in some of these settings. Unexplained panniculitis in a young child should prompt a detailed screen for monogenic immune disorders because the latter usually manifest themselves early in life. Here, we review forms of panniculitis that occur primarily in children, with a focus on newly described entities
