European Union Pension Directive

[Excerpt] This Directive thus represents a first step on the way to an internal market for occupational retirement provision organised on a European scale. By setting the ‘prudent person’ rule as the underlying principle for capital investment and making it possible for institutions to operate across borders, the redirection of savings into the sector of occupational retirement provision is encouraged, thus contributing to economic and social progress. The prudential rules laid down in this Directive are intended both to guarantee a high degree of security for future pensioners through the imposition of stringent supervisory standards, and to clear the way for the efficient management of occupational pension schemes

The development of European citizenship in E.E.C. law

[Preface]:The notion of European Community citizenship was first given prominence by Commission Vice-President Sandri in 1968.Since then, frequent references to this notion have been made by the Community institutions. In particular, in November 1977 the European Parliament passed a Resolution outlining the rights and freedoms entailed by such citizenship. They comprised freedom of expression, assembly and association, the right of residence, the right of access to public office and electoral rights. This Resolution then, was apparently designed to provide a comprehensive list of the rights and freedoms of European citizenship. However, it was not accompanied by a definition of this notion, and no such definition may be found in any other published Community document. In fact, uncertainty arises as to the nature of European citizenship from the Communique issued after the December 1974 Summit Conference in Paris, where similar rights and freedoms were described as "special rights" to be enjoyed by "nationals of the Member States" and no mention was made of European citizenship. The first Chapter of the present work, therefore, will begin by seeking a definition of this new form of citizenship.The same Chapter will then turn to the legal and political obstacles to the creation of European citizenship. A legal innovation of this kind could be expected to involve major changes in the domestic law of the Member States, including national constitutional amendments. In addition, the political implications may be considerable. Insofar as the creation of this new form of citizenship leads to individuals deriving rights and freedoms from the Community rather than from their particular Member State, they may come increasingly to identify with the former rather than their own country. Such a transfer of allegiance would constitute a major step towards the political unification of Western Europe at the expense of the old nation-state structure of this region. Consequently, the creation of European citizenship is likely to be a matter of some political controversy, and this controversy in itself may constitute a serious obstacle to its creator.The second chapter will examine what legal basis is contained in the E.E.C. Treaty for the action necessary to overcome these obstacles. Insofar as the Treaty provisions regarding the free movement of persons entail certain rights for individuals throughout the Community, they may be of some relevance for the creation of European citizenship. However, since these rights are basically concerned with economic activity, their relevance should not be overestimated. Nevertheless, several other provisions confer on the Community institutions broad powers to introduce measures for the attainment of the Community's objectives. To the extent that the creation of European citizenship is encompassed by these objectives, these provisions may offer a basis for the introduction of the rights and freedoms entailed by such citizenship.However, the mere that such a basis may be found in the Treaty will not necessarily be sufficient in itself. The willingness of the Community institutions to employ the relevant provisions as a basis for the necessary action, despite the politically sensitive nature of such action, will remain decisive. Accordingly, the willingness of the Community institutions to do so will be considered in Chapter Three.The next four Chapters will examine the progress actually achieved as regards the introduction of the rights and freedoms of European citizenship. In particular, Chapter Four will be concerned with what the European Parliament described in November 1977 as the "right of residence". This right naturally encompasses rights of entry as well as residence for beneficiaries. The principle difference between the rights envisaged by the Parliament and those envisaged by the Treaty provisions regarding the free movement of persons lies in the fact that the former will not apparently be limited to the economic field. In effect, then, the Parliament advocated the introduction of full freedom of movement throughout the Community of the kind usually enjoyed already by individuals within their own country.Chapter Five will then turn to "freedom of political activity". This expression will be employed throughout the present work to denote freedom of speech, freedom of association, freedom of assembly and so on, which were mentioned by the Parliament in November 1977.Finally, Chapter Six will be concerned with the right of access to public office and Chapter Seven with electoral rights.The last two Chapters recognise that the full realisation of European citizenship may require not only the development of the necessary substantive law embodying the relevant rights and freedoms but also the existence of procedures to ensure that these rights and freedoms are in practice respected by the national authorities. Accordingly, Chapter Eight will consider the role of the Commission, which is required by Article 155 of the Treaty to ensure the application of Community law. To this end, the Commission is empowered under Article 169 to bring a Member State in breach of Community law before the European Court of Justice. Chapter Nine, in turn, will consider the role of the national courts. Insofar as individuals are entitled to invoke the relevant Community law before national courts, the latter will be required to review national administrative action to ensure compliance with this law. The examination carried out in these two Chapters will be directed primarily towards the United Kingdom, but references will be made to developments in other Member States where they will assist in illustrating the legal situation in the United Kingdom. The scope of the examination, however, will be influenced by the progress so far achieved in the development of the relevant substantive law and on the nature of this law

Proceedings of a Meeting Held at Bangor, Maine, by the Friends of the Union, on the Subject of Northern Interference with the Domestic Relations of Master and Slave at the South

The citizens of Bangor, one and all, who are opposed to the measures of the Northern Abolitionists, and who are desirous publicly, and in the language of Washington indignantly to frown upon the first dawning of any attempt to alienate one portion of our country from the rest; or to enfeeble the sacred ties which now link together the various parts; who hold to the preservation of our national compact, in its original spirit and purity, as a sacred and inviolable duty, and as the only ark of our political salvation; -- who disclaiming for themselves, protest against the right of other citizens, of any one State, to interfere, directly or indirectly, in the domestic relations of the citizens of any other State; and who feel pledged by every obligation sacred to men of honor and freemen to support, at all hazards, that fundamental article in our sacred Constitution, that the United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union, a Republican form of government; and shall protect each of them against invasion, and against domestic violence, -- are requested to meet at the City Hall, on Saturday evening, the 29th August, at 7 o\u27clock, to take into consideration the measures most proper to be adopted, to counteract the attempts now making by these individuals to create civil discord and to convey to our brethren of the South the most solemn assurance of the public reprobation of their proceedings, and the insignificance of their numbers, and their utter inability to produce any public action among the independent and intelligent citizens of Maine, inconsistent with the rights of the Southern States.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/books_pubs/1223/thumbnail.jp

Data protection in relation to transborder information sharing for network security and criminal justice purposes

Between November 2012 and September 2013, Joseph A. Cannataci responded to a brief commissioned by the Directorate General of Human Rights and Rule of Law of the Council of Europe. The initial work carried out to end December 2012 was subsequently revised and up-dated over the period Jan-Sep 2013 to reflect the impact of the developments over the European Commission’s Data Protection Reform Package (DPRP) and increasingly that of the revelations of the US whistle-blower Edward Snowden. The concept paper finds that the urgency for and the onus upon the CoE to take immediate action to produce a new binding instrument is compounded by the Snowden revelations and the possible chronic inadequacy of EU responses in the sphere of national security on account of exclusions of competence by Art 4 Section 2 of the EU Treaty.peer-reviewe

Children\u27s Trials

“Children’s Trials” was written and published by the American Sunday-School Union, a society made up of various Christian denominations, whose goal was to create affordable moral and religious publications for the general public. Children’s Trials is split into three stories, each aimed at teaching a different lesson to juvenile readers. Note: This particular copy of the work has children’s drawing in the front and back. These were not done so by the publisher.https://openworks.wooster.edu/motherhomeheaven/1034/thumbnail.jp
