Dottorato di ricerca in Diritto dei mercati europei e globali, crisi, diritti, regolazione ; La tesi, composta di tre capitoli, si propone di verificare quale sia la normativa applicabile e quali siano gli adempimenti necessari allo svolgimento dell'attività assicurativa in libera prestazione in Italia da parte di imprese europee. In particolare, i profili che suscitano maggiore perplessità riguardano il confine tra il diritto di stabilimento e libera prestazione di servizi, soprattutto qualora l'impresa estera operi tramite internet, e l'interpretazione della clausola di salvaguardia dell'"interesse generale". Specificamente la distinzione tra libertà di stabilimento e libera prestazione (relativamente alle peculiarità del mercato assicurativo) dovrebbe fondarsi, alla luce del combinato disposto degli artt. 56 e 57, pf. 3, TFUE, sul criterio della temporaneità, inteso non tanto come intervallo di tempo, ma come occasionalità della prestazione. La seconda zona grigia è costituita dalla clausola dell'interesse generale e dall'impossibilità di precisarne il contenuto a priori e definitivamente. In conclusione, sulla base dello studio condotto (su testi normativi, dottrina, giurisprudenza e prassi applicativa delle Autorità di settore), il mercato unico può davvero funzionare solo se si raggiunge un grado di omogeneità sia tra le normative degli Stati membri sia della loro applicazione da parte delle Autorità competenti, confidando in particolare in un elevato grado di cooperazione tra Autorità nazionali e sovranazionali (merita rilevare l'istituzione dell'EIOPA con Reg. n.1094/2010). ; Freedom to provide insurance services and the IVASS control The dissertation consists of three chapters and aims at verifying which law is applicable and what are the necessary requirements that the European insurance companies should respect to operate in freedom provide services in Italy. In particular, the issues that give rise to greater concern refer to the border between the right of establishment and the freedom to provide services, especially where the foreign company operates through the internet, and the interpretation of the safeguard clause of the "general interest". Particularly, the distinction between right of establishment and freedom to provide services (with regard to the case of the insurance market) should be based, in the light of the combined provisions of sections 56 and 57, pf. 3, TFEU, on the criterion of temporariness, interpreted not as much as time, but as an occasional and limited performance. The second gray area is the general interest clause and the difficulty of specifying the content definitively. In conclusion, on the basis of the study (on legislative texts, doctrine, jurisprudence and application practice by sectoral Authorities), the single market can really work only if a degree of homogeneity between the laws of the Member States and their application by the competent authorities is achieved, with particular reference to a high level of cooperation between national and supranational authorities (it should be noted the establishment of EIOPA with Regulation No. 1094/2010).

U članku se analiziraju pojedina dvojbena pravna pitanja koja se javljaju u praksi prekograničnoga poslovanja društava za osiguranje na jedinstvenom unutarnjem tržištu Europske unije s aspekta važećega pravnog uređenja u Republici Hrvatskoj. Analiza se ponajprije odnosi na pitanja koja se javljaju u praktičnoj primjeni pravila o slobodi pružanja usluga osiguranja predviđenih propisima Europske unije koja se u hrvatski pravni sustav prenose Zakonom o osiguranju. Cilj je rada ukazati na izazove koje za industriju osiguranja u Republici Hrvatskoj donosi liberalizacija tržišta osiguranja zajamčena pravnom stečevinom Europske unije te pružiti određene preporuke koje bi hrvatskim osigurateljima i ostalim pružateljima usluga osiguranja mogle biti korisne kod donošenja poslovne odluke o mogućem prekograničnom obavljanju poslova osiguranja. ; The paper analyses certain legal dilemmas that arise in relation to the provision of cross-border insurance services on the European union single market, particularly in the context of the Croatian legal framework. The analysis covers several issues arising in relation to the practical application of the EU rules on freedom to provide insurance services as implemented in the Croatian national law by the Croatian Insurance Act. Special consideration is given to certain specific legal issues that appear in practice as dubious when it comes to insurance of certain types of risk with a cross-border element, The aim is to point at the challenges that the liberalisation of the insurance market places in front of the Croatian insurance industry, and to make certain recommendations that could be useful to the Croatian insurers and other insurance service providers when deciding on the possibility of carrying on crossborder insurance business.

Concern has been growing, especially since the Viking and Laval opinions, that business rights are unjustly trumping democracy and labour rights. Those cases reviewed the proportionality of collective action by trade unions on the assumption that strikes infringed business rights to establish and provide services. But the Court of Justice never had submissions on the rights of trade unions to establish and provide services to their members. A plain reading of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union compels the conclusion that union freedoms are protected by law. If the Court had turned its attention to those rights, it would have found a union taking collective action cannot violate a business' right of establishment or service provision, any more than a business can violate rights of another business by fairly outcompeting it. Conflicting rights to establish and provide services cancel each other out. From this perspective, labour rights are not merely overriding interests and human rights. Labour rights form the general principles underpinning the European Union. The explicit acknowledgement of trade union freedoms is desirable in law and to advance the EU's social and economic aims.

In order to protect consumers from excessive television advertising and to create a level playing field for all broadcasters within the European Union (EU), the Audiovisual Media Services Directives sets rules regarding television advertising. Stricter national rules on television advertising are permitted provided they are in compliance with Union Law. Italy used national regulation to impose different maximum transmission times for advertising on pay-TV broadcasters and free-to-air broadcasters. This case-note on SKY-Italia discusses whether the different maximum transmission times for television advertising are compatible with the general principle of equal treatment within EU law and with various fundamental freedoms of the internal market. Is it justified to restrict the freedom to provide services defined in Article 56 TFEU by the 'public interest' of consumer protection or is the national rule an example of a purely economic and political consideration resulting in a distortion of competition?

AbstractThe National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) has transformed the nature of funding available to health and human service organisations to provide services to people with disability in Australia. However, there is relatively scant literature on the rural implementation of the NDIS, particularly how rural NDIS service providers are affected by the NDIS. Researchers conducted semi‐structured interviews with 20 health professionals employed by rural providers, and analysed data using rural and remote health and organisational change frameworks to understand how rural providers were impacted by and responded to the NDIS. The findings suggest rural providers were impacted to differing extents and responded to the NDIS in different ways. Participants reported that disability and community health services were affected more than hospitals and private allied health practices. Impacted rural providers responded by changing the nature and types of services, service processes and their workforce, and redefining organisational characteristics. Impacted rural providers may require additional support to continue providing services, and those less impacted may require other incentives to better engage with the NDIS. Rural proofing of NDIS policy could reveal suitable supports and incentives to ensure rural people with disability can access required services.
