Download or read book EU Law of the Overseas written by Dimitry Kochenov and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2011-05-23 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of British, Dutch, French, Danish, Spanish, and Portuguese nationals permanently reside in the overseas parts of their Member States. These people, like the companies registered in such territories, often find it virtually impossible to determine what law applies when legal decisions are required. Although Article 52(1) of the EU Treaty clearly states that EU law applies in the territory of all the Member States, most Member State territories lying outside of Europe provide examples of legal arrangements deviating from this rule. This book, for the first time in English, gathers these deviations into a complex system of rules that the editor calls the ‘EU law of the Overseas’. Member States’ territories lying far away from the European continent either do not fall within the scope of EU law entirely, or are subject to EU law with serious derogations. A huge gap thus exists between the application of EU law in Europe and in the overseas parts of the Member States, which has not been explored in the English language literature until now. This collection of essays sets out to correct this by examining the principles of Union law applicable to such territories, placing them in the general context of the development of European integration. Among the key legal issues discussed are the following: internal market outside of Europe; the protection of minority cultures; EU citizenship in the overseas countries and territories of the EU; Article 349 TFEU as a source of derogations; The implications of Part IV TFEU for the overseas acquis; participatory methods of reappraisal of the relationship between the EU and the overseas; implications for the formation of strategic alliances; voting in European elections; what matters may be referred by courts and tribunals in overseas countries and territories; application of the acquis to the parts of the Member States not controlled by the government or excluded from ratione loci of EU law; interplay of the Treaty provisions and secondary legislation in the overseas; customs union; wholly internal situations; free movement of capital and direct investments in companies; the euro area outside of Europe; duty of loyal cooperation in the domain of EU external action; territorial application of EU criminal law; and territorial application of human rights treaties. Twenty-two leading experts bring their well-informed perspectives to this under-researched but important subject in which, although rules abound and every opportunity to introduce clarity into the picture seems to be present, the situation is far from clear. The book will be welcomed by serious scholars of European Union law and by public international lawyers, as well as by policy-makers and legal practitioners.
Download or read book European Integration and Postcolonial Sovereignty Games written by Rebecca Adler-Nissen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how sovereignty works in the context of European integration and postcolonialism. Focusing on a group of micro-polities associated with the European Union, it offers a new understanding of international relations in the context of modern sovereignty. This book offers a systematic and comparative analysis of the Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs), the EU and the four affected Member States: UK, France, the Netherlands and Denmark. Contributors explore how states and state-like entities play 'sovereignty games' to understand how a group of postcolonial entities may strategically use their ambiguous status in relation to sovereignty. The book examines why former colonies are seeking greater room to manoeuvre on their own, whilst simultaneously developing a close relationship to the supranational EU. Methodologically sophisticated, this interdisciplinary volume combines interviews, participant observation, textual, legal and institutional analysis for a new theoretical approach to understanding the strategic possibilities and subjectivity of non-sovereign entities in international politics. Bringing together research on European integration and postcolonial theory, European Integration and Postcolonial Sovereignty Games will be of interest to students and scholars of International Relations, EU studies, Postcolonial studies, International Law and Political Theory.
Download or read book Overseas Countries and Territories Relations with the European Community written by Commission of the European Communities and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rome Treaty, under Part IV, provides for the association of overseas countries and territories which, historically, have special relations with Community members. The original list of dependencies has been reduced as some overseas countries have become independent, but a small number of territories, mainly French and British, remain dependent on their mother countries. Spain and Portugal, when they join the Community on 1 January 1986, will include possessions under the Treaty's Part IV. Relations with the Community vary according to what has been agreed between the Community member and the dependent territories. The Treaty association, however, serves primarily 'to further the interests and prosperity of the inhabitants and territories in order to lead them to the economic, social and cultural development to which they aspire'. Normally regarded as 'foreign countries' these territories are not necessarily included in the EC Common Customs Union. Independent countries, such as Andorra and San Marino, have a special relationship with the Community.

Download or read book The European Union and Member State Territories A New Legal Framework Under the EU Treaties written by Fiona Murray and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-01-05 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book reviews the EU Treaties provisions governing relations between the EU and Member State territories, such as the Netherlands Antilles, the UK Channel Islands and the French Overseas Departments. The book includes an overview of each of the relevant territories, including their present constitutional relations with their Member State and their legal relations with the EU. Prior to the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, the over-arching Treaty provision for this relationship was Article 299 of the EC Treaty. Having traced the development of Article 299 from 1957 to the present Lisbon framework, the book identifies many inconsistencies and issues with this current framework and proposes a new model framework, one that is more concise and up-to-date and which is adaptable to possible future developments. Useful for EU Law departments and Research Centres, EU Think Tanks, EU Institutions Libraries, Permanent Representatives to the EU and law firms specializing in EU law.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is much confusion surrounding the legal status of Europe's independent countries, overseas territories and autonomous regions within the framework of the Treaties forming the European Community. The Vatican City, for instance, while lying in the heart of the Italian capital, is not a party to the Treaties and is treated by the Community as a foreign country. To clear up any ambiguity, this background report details all the territories which have a special relationship with the Community by virtue of their geography or history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This note seeks to provide an initial appraisal of the strengths and weaknesses of the European Commission's Impact Assessment accompanying its proposal for a Council Decision on the association of the Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs) with the European Union. The objective of the European Commission's proposal is to renew and revise the association of the OCTs with the EU. The 21 OCTs, comprising islands having special relations with Denmark (Greenland), France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom are associated with the EU under Part Four of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). Since 1958, the detailed rules and the procedures for this association have been laid down by the Council of the EU through successive Overseas Association Decisions (OADs), most recently in 2001. On a proposal from the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament, the Council adopts an OAD by unanimity. The present OAD will expire on 31 December 2013.

Download or read book The EU and Member State Territories written by Fiona Murray and published by Palladian Law Pub Limited. This book was released on 2004 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The EU has special relationships with certain countries and regions, designed to promote economic, financial and trade cooperation. Each of these countries has close constitutional links with a particular Member State enabling them to benefit from the advantages offered by the EU in key areas of trade (goods and services), free movement provisions, financial services, taxation, customs, and agricultural produce. Recent EU legislation has helped redefine these important relationships and the impact they have both on the territories themselves and on Member States. The countries involved cover a wide geographical area including British, French and Dutch territories in the Caribbean and Pacific Regions, as well as Madeira and the Azores. Also affected are the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Gibraltar, Faroe Islands and Aland Islands. Taking full advantage of favorable trading and financial conditions underlines the importance of these special relationships and the legal measures imposed. This book explains how the rules apply in each sector.
Download or read book The Law of EU External Relations written by Jan Wouters and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-21 with total page 719 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third edition of this book incorporates more than 10 years of fascinating dynamics since the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty. Apart from analysing the general basis of the Union's external action and its relationship to international law, the book explores the law and practice of the EU in more specialized fields of external action, such as common commercial policy, neighbourhood policy, development cooperation, cooperation with third countries, humanitarian aid, external environmental policy, and common foreign and security policy, as well as EU sanctions. Five years after the second edition published, this fully updated edition contains major developments within the law itself, along with changes and restructuring of the themes within the book. Carefully selected primary documents are accompanied with analytic commentary on the issues they raise and their significance for the overall structure of EU external relations law. The primary materials selected include many important legal documents that are hard to find elsewhere but give a vital insight into the operation of EU external relations law in practice.
