The article deals with the correlation between the European Union law and international law. Constant participation of the European Union and its members in international organizations gave a rise to the need for establishment of interrelation between the sources of international law particularly international agreements and customs and sources of European Union law such as regulating agreements and acts of the EU institutions as well as necessity to identify which norms should be applied in a certain case and which hierarchical connections exist in these sources. This issue was research by numerous Ukrainian and foreign scholars such as T.V. Komarova, O.V. Plotnikov, K. Zigler, I.I. Maryniv, R. Jennigs, K. Tomushat and others. But unlike scientific research EU agreements do not have any provisions which would identify the type of relations between EU law and international law. It is also necessary to note that the only subject which position is important in this sphere is EU Court. In order to answer the mentioned questions decisions of the EU Court which had an impact on the formation of a new law and order on international level such as the one of the European Union (for example decision in case Van Gend en Loos) and decision of the Court which established fundamental positions regarding correlation of EU law and international law (for example in case Kadi v Council and Commission) were researched into. Provisions of EU regulating agreements related to international agreements and their place in the system of norms of the European Union were analyzed. To see the procedure of applying customary law in European law case law of the EU Court was researched. The article provides modern position of the EU Court regarding interaction between European and international law.

The aim of the article is to study the implementation of wildlife values into the environmental policy of European Union and Ukraine.

The article is dedicated to the general characteristics of legal regulation of atypical employment in the EU at international and national levels. Legislation in Europe and the regulations of the International Labor Organization concerning non-standard employment have been analyzed. The article begins with an explanation of what is meant by non-standard and standard employment, and a consideration of the overlaps and differences with other concepts used to explain types of work, such as informality and precariousness. It then provides a definition of each of the different forms of atypical employment, both in law and in practice. Precarious work is a concept that does not have a universally accepted definition across Europe. According to the International Labor Organization, in the most general sense, precarious work is a means for employers to shift risks and responsibilities onto workers. It is work performed in the formal and informal economy, and is characterized by variable levels and degrees of objective (legal status) and subjective (feeling) characteristics of uncertainty and insecurity. The article discusses four non-standard employment: (1) temporary employment (fixed-term contracts, including project- or task-based contracts; seasonal work; casual work, including daily work); (2) part-time and on-call work (normal working hours fewer than full-time equivalents; marginal part-time employment; on-call work, including zero-hours contracts); (3) multi-party employment relationship (also known as "dispatch", "brokerage" and "labor hire"; temporary agency work; subcontracted labor); (4) disguised employment/ dependent self-employment (disguised employment, dependent self-employment, sham or misclassified self-employment). The article analyzes the main conventions of the International Labor Organization that regulate labor relations in atypical employment.
