This book provides a comparative legal study of the concept and content of joint parental authority after divorce and the breakup of a relationship in Dutch and Danish law. In addition, the Principles Regarding Parental Responsibilities which have been drafted by the Commission on European Family Law (CEFL) are taken into account. The knowledge provided by this study serves various purposes. First, it contributes to the ongoing debate concerning the convergence of family law in Europe and the related discussions concerning the desirability and feasibility of its harmonization. It also provides inspiration for national debates concerning the construction and content of joint parental authority and contact. Finally, Joint Parental Authority offers a micro-comparative study of the family law systems of Denmark and The Netherlands, which to date has never been the subject of a direct comparison.

It also distinguishes among different types of actors involved in the processing and sets out different obligations for each type of actor. The most important distinction in this regard is the distinction between 'controllers' and 'processors'. This book seeks to determine whether EU data protection law should continue to maintain its current distinction.
European law affects national private law in many ways. This is not only true for EU Directives, but also for the EU Treaties, the EU Charter on Fundamental Rights and the general principles of EU law. This book explores the influence of European law on legal relationships between individuals.
Présentation de l'éditeur : "While Anti-Money Laundering instruments are ever increasing in scope and complexity, policymakers have often lost sight of the objectives pursued.
