Extraterriotrialitätsfragen des Rechts auf Vergessenwerden
In the case, Brzeziński v. Poland, the European Court of Human Rights for the third time addressed the issue of the summary electoral proceedings in the Polish legal system. The last judgement is an excellent opportunity to examine if the provisions of the electoral law concerning these proceedings are well designed and correctly interpreted by the Polish courts. There is no doubt that free elections and freedom of expression together form the bedrock of any democratic system. The two rights are inter-related and operate to reinforce each other. For this reason, it is particularly important in the period preceding an election that opinions and information of all kinds are permitted to circulate freely. On the other hand, national authorities are legitimised to create special proceedings in order to ensure the proper conduct of the electoral campaign by preventing the dissemination of false information. As a consequence, it is possible to verify factual statements contained in the materials pertaining to an electoral campaign. Special proceedings should not apply to the value judgements. If such comments and opinions infringe the candidate’s personal rights, he or she may seek redress under the general rules of protection of individual rights.
In the field of public procurement EU law has deeply regulated not only the awarding procedures of public contracts of works, supplies or services (and since 2014 of concession contracts) but also the related review mechanisms. EU directives allow member states to decide upon the identification of the “bodies responsible for review procedures” (breviter “review bodies”) in charge of determining a possible breach of public procurement directives and whether such review bodies should or should not be judicial in character.
The essay focuses on the comparison between the implementation given to those rules by the German law, especially regarding the Vergabekammern (“Public procurement tribunals”), which are non-judicial review bodies in charge of first instance decisions, and by Italian law, where the new pre-litigation advice of ANAC (i.e. Italian Anti-Corruption Authority) has been introduced since 2016, in addition to the traditional judicial remedies, as an optional and ancillary non-judicial remedy.
Hoe belangrijk achten burgemeesters het initiëren van leerprocessen na afloop van een crisis? En waar hangen deze keuzes mee samen? In maart 2019 publiceerde het internationale wetenschappelijke tijdschrift Safety Science een artikel van Wout Broekema, Jan Porth, Trui Steen en René Torenvlied over de leeractiviteiten van burgemeesters na afloop van een crisis. Hieronder bespreken wij enkele bevindingen van het onderzoek. De resultaten zijn gebaseerd op een statistische analyse van de gegevens uit een enquête die is afgenomen onder alle Nederlandse burgemeesters in het najaar van 2015.
This contribution focuses on the analysis of the strategies adopted in Germany against the COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis is divided into two main issues represented by the virological containment of the pandemic on the one hand, and by the effort to stem the economic consequences of the containment measures on the other. This emergency has shown to be a real stress test for Germany, putting a strain on the federal division of competences, the democratic institutions as well as the protection of fundamental rights as a qualifying element of the rule of law.
La Resilienza ai Cambiamenti Climatici Nella Gestione Del Territorio: Uno Sguardo al Sistema Tedesco
(2021)
Il saggio pone in risalto le misure adottate in Germania nell’ambito della strategia di prevenzione di eventi calamitosi legati ai fattori climatici. L’analisi illustra le modifiche introdotte nella legislazione urbanistica allo scopo di contrastare i cambiamenti climaticie, viceversa, migliorare la resilienza a tale fenomeno.
Il saggio analizza le procedure di selezione utilizzate nell’ordinamento italiano e in quello tedesco, sia nell’ambito dell’accesso al pubblico impiego sia rispetto alle progressioni di carriera. L’analisi comparativa si propone di verificare se le procedure impiegate in Germania per garantire l’affermazione del «principio della selezione dei migliori», le promozioni attuate prevalentemente attingendo al personale interno e il sistema di «federalismo competitivo» rappresentino un modello da imitare, suscettibile di essere traslato nella realtà italiana. Proprio le apparenti distanze fra i due ordinamenti suggeriscono l’opportunità di descriverne e compararne le caratteristiche attraverso la scelta di «coppie dicotomiche», volte a stabilire se i contrasti immanenti alle procedure di selezione siano reali o apparenti oppure se si tratti piuttosto di percorsi diversi, orientati nella stessa direzione.
The paper deals with the Föderalismusreform III, focusing in particular on the amendments of the financial constitution (‘Finanzverfassung’) and on the changes in the Finanzausgleich that will be effective from 2020 onwards. Insofar the system of revenue distribution across and within the different layers of government (Finanzausgleich) has been one of the most controversial issue with reference to Bund-Länder financial relations and it is not by chance that the reform approved in July 2017 has substantially revised this system. Not only the horizontal equalization scheme (Länderfinanzausgleich) will expire by the end of 2019, but the VAT distribution among the Länder will be done according to new criteria, showing a strong redistributive impact. In discussing the main features of the new system to come, the paper investigates the pros and cons of the reform, evaluating the impact on federal dynamics.
La gestione dell’emergenza pandemica in Germania è una sfida che mette alla prova il sistema democratico e federale, rivelandone i punti di forza e di debolezza.
Nel complesso, la risposta tedesca all’emergenza è stata gestita secondo i principi dello Stato di diritto e nel rispetto delle dinamiche del federalismo, con una pari attenzione sia alla prevenzione della diffusione del virus, sia ai danni al sistema economico dovuti alle misure anticontagio, accompagnando da subito le restrizioni a misure di sostegno. Il governo federale ha svolto un ruolo di coordinamento politico, rispettando il riparto delle costituzionale delle competenze legislative e amministrative, che vede i Länder protagonisti della gestione in concreto dell’emergenza sanitaria.
Le pesanti limitazioni dei diritti fondamentali dovute alle misure di contrasto hanno sollevato un acceso dibattito e sono state oggetto di un attento controllo giurisdizionale.

Wolność wypowiedzi w Internecie: O roli mediów społecznościowych i pozytywnych obowiązkach państwa
(2022)
Modern online communication processes are characterized by the growing role of private entities (social media) and the emergence of numerous conflicts of a horizontal nature. This paper examines these issues from the standpoint of the ECtHR’s theory of positive obliga-tions. Consequently, it analyses the impact of new technologies on the freedom of expres-sion, the paradigm shift in communication, and the State’s positive obligations to prevent horizontal abuses. The article also analyses the existing and planned legal framework (national and EU). The main argument of this article is that public control over social media should be strengthened. Limiting their discretion to ensure adequate protection of rights and freedoms does not mean, however, the freedom of forum, understood as an unlimited right of access to the platform in order to express opinions.
