The Master's thesis "The Possibilities of the European Union Cooperation in the Field of Energy: European Energy Union" is a research on the possibilities of cooperation among European Union members if Energy Union was created. This topic is relatively new, because the discussion on further cooperation on energy politics through an Energy Union was begun only in 2014. As such, there is not enough scientific publications and other articles. Research object is the possibilities of European Union collaboration: the European Energy Union. Research aim is to evaluate the possible cooperation of the member states in the European Energy Union. The following objectives for the master's thesis were formed: 1. To present the main aspects of neoliberalism theory and the theory possibilities to expain international cooperation in energy politics; 2. To review the development of the energy collaboration and positions in the EU; 3. To examine the principles of the EU single energy market. 4. To analyse the possibilities of the EU Energy Union establishment. The main research method used in this thesis is structurized interview. In order to analyse the EU cooperation possibilities in the Energy Union, documents, agreements, scientific literature and legislation analysis was used. The master's thesis consists of introduction, three chapters, conclussions and literature sources list. The work is based on neoliberalism theory, which explains collaboration among countries when creating supranational institutions and, as such, ensuring the control of an anarchic international system and achievement of common aims. By following this theory, possible cooperation among the EU countries on supranational level through the Energy Union, is analysed. After conducting the structurized interview, it was observed that the interviewed energy experts positively assess the possible cooperation among the EU member states through the Energy Union. The respondents state that the Energy Union is beneficial for all states, because it will help achieve the set energy aims. The research showed that the Energy Union would not be a new institution, but rather a continuation of single energy politics. Cooperation among the member states in the Energy Union will provide better energy protection, create a single energy resources market, which will reduce the price of imported resources, it will improve cooperation in renewable resources extraction, reduce the emission of gas which cause the greenhouse effect, and it will also improve energy efficiency.

European regional integration processes have gradually covered most of the world regions. First of all, regions were strengthened internally and after that they began increasingly interact with each other, thus consolidating interregional relations as an integral part of their foreign policy. European Union decided to activate foreign policy actions in Latin America due to its growing economical and political significance. However, EU member's different interests have increased the gap between the official statements of EU and concrete practical policies. Such inequality of attention to Latin America led other great players of the international system to renew their interest in the region

The main objective of the regulation 1/2003 was to create European competition Network (ECN) which could ensure proper enforcement of the EU competition law. Members of this network are national competition authorities and Commission which cooperate in vertical and horizontal dimensions. The base for cooperation in the ECN is articles 11 and 12 of the regulation 1/2003. Articles state that members of the ECN can cooperate in exchanging information and evidence in the network for the purpose of the application the EU competition rules. ECN also plays a role as a forum for the case allocation and ensures that case is dealt by the well-placed competition authority which can bring the entire infringement to an end. Master thesis discusses the main issues of cooperation in ECN and focuses on essential problems faced by competition authorities and undertaking. Paper also proposes possible solutions based on EU case-law and consideration of the competent EU competition law experts. First concern can be raised in the light of the application regulation 1/2003 which gives a wide power of discretion for the exchange of information in the ECN. This information can contain confidential elements therefore undertaking has to be protected from the disclosure this information. The lack of harmonization does not ensure such protection. Secondly, parallel competences of the competition authorities in the application EU competition rules can affect the right of undertakings to ne bis in idem. Master thesis discusses particular situations when this principle can be violated and states that the absent of the EU case-law in this field creates a legal uncertainty for the undertakings. Thirdly, a certain degree of legal uncertainty also exists in the application of the EU-wide Leniency programs. Absence of harmonization in this field creates difficulties for the undertaking because application for Leniency in a given national competition authority is not to be considered as application to any other authority. This means that once national competition authority decides not to take up the case the Leniency applicant can be prosecuted by another competition authority therefore undertakings should apply for all the authorities which could be well-placed to deal with the case.

Increasing number of cross-border crime, there is a need to create a common organization whose goal – to unite the states to fight crime. Each country is different legal systems, different law enforcement agencies, it is extremely difficult to work without coordinating organizations, to remove these inconsistencies. For this purpose established by the European Union law enforcement organization – Europol. Its aim is to increase the competent authorities of Member States' operational effectiveness and promote their cooperation in the fight against serious transnational organized crime and terrorism and its prevention. A study has found that only united the whole of the European Union's Europol National Units, may be more successful in the fight against serious international crime. Lithuania still is an important link connecting the eastern Baltic states in the Middle East to Europe, so it occupies a strategically important place in various countries and political institutions and policy projection. On the 21st of December, 2007 after Lithuania became a member of Schengen area, migration mobility of inhabitants increased. In order to solve relevant problems there was analysed European Union requirements and Lithuanian Republic legal regulations that belong to the sphere when the country is a member of Schengen area. Firstly, there have been analysed the main legal standards and documents that consolidate the activities of institutions in this sphere as well as cooperation possibilities of institutions controlling foreigners. The research project presents valuable cooperation experience of institutions dealing with foreigners' control. ; Šiuo metu mūsų šalį vargina ekonominis nestabilumas, lydimas įvairaus pobūdžio nusikalstamumo didėjimo. Su šiuo reiškiniu susiduria dauguma Europos Sąjungos šalių, todėl iškilo būtinybė kurti bendras organizacijas, kurių tikslas – vienyti valstybes kovai su nusikalstamumu. Kiekvienoje valstybėje veikia skirtingos teisinės sistemos, skirtingos teisėsaugos institucijos, todėl itin sunku bendradarbiauti be koordinuojančių organizacijų, kurios pašalintų tuos neatitikimus. Tam tikslui įkurta Europos Sąjungos teisėsaugos organizacija – Europolas. Jos tikslas didinti kompetentingų valstybių narių institucijų veiklos efektyvumą ir skatinti jų bendradarbiavimą kovojant su sunkiu tarptautiniu organizuotu nusikalstamumu ir terorizmu bei jų prevencijos srityje. Lietuvos Respublikai tapus visateise Šengeno erdvės nare, išaugo gyventojų migracinis mobilumas. Tik Europos Sąjungos institucijų dėka buvo teisiškai išspręsta ir šiuo metu pakankamai gerai vykdoma viena pagrindinių šioje srityje programa – Kaliningrado tranzito programa, užtikrinanti supaprastintą asmenų tranzitą iš Rusijos Federacijos teritorijos į Rusijos Federacijos Kaliningrado sritį ir atgal per Lietuvos Respublikos teritoriją. Atliktu tyrimu nustatyta, kad tik vieningas visos Europos Sąjungos Europolo nacionalinių padalinių bendradarbiavimas, gali būti sėkmingas kelias kovoje su sunkiais tarptautinio pobūdžio nusikaltimais, tai pat leidžia teigti, kad Lietuvoje yra pakankamai gerai organizuojama ir vykdoma užsieniečių kontrolė.

The implementation and the development of green technologies is an essential way to ensure the transition from traditional economy model to the green growth. The purpose of the article assessing the importance of green technologies development in the European Union and Lithuania, to identify the trends associated with the development of green technologies. To achieve the purpose statistical data analysis had been conducted. Green technologies development can be seen in the European Union and Lithuania in 2008-2017 year period. But it should be noted that there are huge differences in adoption of these technologies among the countries of the European Union. These differences can be explained by the lack of financial resources and governmental support, differences in installed green technologies or involvement in such activities
