The volume presents the results of a symposium held at Bocconi University in October 2015, on the occasion of the Universal Exposition of Milan “Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life”, and it brings together the inter-disciplinary viewpoints of different academics and practitioners that in their day to day work are in many ways exposed to this emerging area of study and practice. In particular, the broader purpose of the papers collected here is to critically reflect on the current state of the food legislation in Europe with the aim of encouraging further debate in a country, like Italy, in which for historical and cultural reasons food has always played a very special and prominent role....

While the EU agencies that have been granted the power to adopt binding decisions are a diverse group, they at least share one feature: in all of them an organisationally separate administrative review body, i.e. a board of appeal, has been established. The review procedures before these boards must be exhausted before private parties can seize the EU courts and the boards therefore all fulfil a similar function: filtering cases before they end up before the courts and providing parties by expert-driven review. Sharing this common function as well as some common features, the boards of appeal of the different agencies remain heterogenous in their set up and functioning. This raises a host of...
The paper focuses on the relationships between sustainable development and globalisation. In particular, after providing a definition of sustainable development, it shows that the duty of protection of future generations is not related merely to this concept, but to environmental law as a whole. As a consequence, solidarity of present generations vis-à-vis future ones represents a common theoretical substratum to both sustainable development and environmental law. Drawing upon ethics and environmental law research, the paper argues that sustainable development can be seen as a counterpart to globalisation, mitigating its effects and the biggest gap in the globalisation process, which is its lack of attention to human beings.
The article aims to analyze the model of company emerging from the new Italian consolidated Law on public entities owned companies of 2016, coming to the conclusion that, especially given the principles of the legislative delegation and the European Union law requirements, such companies are characterized as fully for profit and private. Public interest represents therefore an external interest, which is secondary to the common economic interest of the shareholders. In this understanding, norms apparently bearing a 'public law mark' can be understood in light of a correct perception of the notion of 'pursuit of profit' and of the principal agency theory, elaborated by the economic analysis of law.
This collection presents a comparative analysis of the principle of effective legal protection in administrative law in Europe. It examines how European states consider and enforce the related requirements in their domestic administrative law. The book is divided into three parts: the first comprises a theoretical introductory chapter along with perspectives from International and European Law; part two presents 15 individual country reports on the principle of effective legal protection in mostly EU member states. The core function of the reports is to provide an analysis of the domestic instruments and procedures. Adopting a contextual approach, they consider the historical, political and ...
