Printed in Belgium Foreword This year, exceptionally, the Report of the Proceedings of the Court of Justice of the European Communities and of the Court of First Instance will replace the Annual Report of previous years. Following delays at various stages of publication, and relying on the understand­ ing of our readers, it has been decided to publish a version which, while retaining the usual content, relates to the proceedings of the Court of Justice and of the Court of First Instance over three years, namely 1992, 1993 and 1994. As has been the case with publications for previous years, this report is intended for judges. lawyers and, in general, practitioners, teachers and students of Community law. It is issued for information only, and obviously must not be cited as an official publication of the Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance, whose judgments are published officially in the Reports of Cases before the Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance and in the Reports of European Community Staff Cases. The report is published in the official languages of the European Communities (Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish). It is obtainable free of charge on request (specifying the language required) from the Press and Information Office of the Court of Justice. 3 3-4 Table of Contents Page The Court of Justice of the European Communities 9 A - The Proceedings of the Court of Justice in 1992, 1993 and 1994 by President Rodriguez Iglesias . 11 B - Composition of the Court of Justice . 19 I - Order of precedence . 20 from 1 January 1992 to 10 March 1992 ............. 20 from 11 March 1992 to 6 October 1992 . 21 from 7 October 1992 to 6 October 1993 . 22 from 7 October 1993 to 9 February 1994 . 23 from 10 February 1994 to 6 October 1994 . 24 from 7 October 1994 . 25 II - The Members of the Court of Justice from 1992 to 1994 . 26 III - Changes in the composition of the Court of Justice from 1992 to 1994 . 33 IV - Abridged organization chart . 35 The Court of First Instance of the European Communities . 37 A - The Proceedings of the Court of First Instance in 1992, 1993 and 1994 by President Cruz Vilaca . 39 B - Composition of the Court of First Instance . 59 I - Order of precedence of the Court of First Instance . 60 from 1 September 1991 to 10 March 1992 . 60 from 11 March 1992 to 18 September 1992 . 61 from 19 September 1992 to 31 August 1993 . 61 from 1 September 1993 to 31 August 1994 . 62 from 1 September 1994 . 62 II - The Members of the Court of First Instance from 1992 to 1994 . 63 Ill - Changes in the composition of the Court of First Instance from 1992 to 1994 . 67 5 The Activity of the institution . 69 A - Meetings and visits . 71 Official Visits and Functions at the Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance in 1992, 1993 and 1994 . 75 B - Formal Sittings . 89 Formal sitting of the Court of Justice of 10 March 1992 . 89 Formal sitting of the Court of Justice of 18 September 1992 . 103 Formal sitting of the Court of Justice of 4 December 1992 . 114 Formal sitting of the Court of Justice of 15 January 1993 . 116 Formal sitting of the Court of Justice of 16 February 1993 . 116 Formal sitting of the Court of Justice of 26 October 1993 . 117 Formal sitting of the Court of Justice of 9 February 1994 . 121 Formal sitting of the Court of Justice of 6 October 1994 . 133 Annexe I . 165 Statistical information for the years 1992 to 1994 . 167 A - Proceedings of the Court of Justice . 167 I - Synopsis of the judgments delivered by the Court of Justice in 1992 . 167 Synopsis of the judgments delivered by the Court of Justice in 1993 . 189 Synopsis of the other decisions of the Court of Justice which appeared in the 'Proceedings' in 1993 . 212 Synopsis of the judgments delivered by the Court of Justice in 1994 . 213 Synopsis of the other decisions of the Court of Justice which appeared in the 'Proceedings' in 1994 . 237 II - Statistical information . 239 6 B - Proceedings of the Court of First Instance . 265 I - Synopsis of the judgments delivered by the Court of First Instance in 1992 . 265 Synopsis of the judgments delivered by the Court of First Instance in 1993 . 268 Synopsis of the other decisions of the Court of First Instance which appeared in the 'Proceedings' in 1993 . 272 Synopsis of the judgments of the Court of First Instance in 1994 . 273 Synopsis of the other decisions of the Court of First Instance which appeared in the 'Proceedings' in 1994 . 283 II - Statistical information . 285 - C - Statistics for both courts for 1992, 1993 and 1994 . 297 D - Proceedings in national courts on community law . 299 Appendix II . 303 Publications and General Information . 305 7 7-8 The Court of Justice of the European Communities 9-10 A - The Proceedings of the Court of Justice m 1992, 1993 and 1994 by President Rodriguez Iglesias The developments which the Court has experienced during the last three years are admittedly modest compared with the event which the entry into force of the Treaty on European Union in November 1993 constituted for the Community as a whole, but they are none the less of great significance for the future of our institution. Of those events, it is indispensable to point out the changes which took place in the composition of the Court during 1994, a year which was noteworthy because, in addition to the appointment of a new Registrar, there was a partial renewal which saw the departure of six Members, among them President 0. Due. However, despite the upheaval inherent in any renewal, the rate of work was not affected since some 300 cases were decided each year. Moreover, and this should be emphasized, the Court was able to reduce the average duration of proceedings so that it is now, in preliminary rulings, 18 months (20.4 months in 1993) and, in direct actions, 20.8 months (22.9 months in 1993). The effort will, however, be continued for it would be presumptuous to be satisfied with those results. Proceedings which are too lengthy are likely to dissuade the courts of the Member States to refer to the Court questions of interpretation or validity and, thus, to jeopardize the uniform application of Community law and undermine the consistency of the system. It should, however, be noted that reduction of the duration of proceedings is limited by the requirement on the Court not to start examining a case until the pleadings and the observations lodged have been translated. In order to expedite proceedings, the Council, on a proposal of the Court, by two decisions of 8 June 1993 and 7 March 1994, extended the jurisdiction transferred to the Court of First Instance to all actions brought by natural and legal persons. Likewise, the second paragraph of Article 165 of the EC Treaty now allows the Court to refer any case, where this is justified, including those brought by the Member States, to a Chamber. That possibility is, however, too recent for it to be possible to measure its beneficial effects. That same concern to expedite proceedings has been incorporated at the level of publication of the case-law. In order to guarantee the availability of its judgments in all the official languages of the Union from the date of their delivery and to 11 ensure publication of the European Court Reports within no more than four or five months, the Court had to restrict the volume of documents to be translated and, in order to do so, decided to cease, from January 1994, publication in the Reports of the Report for the Hearing. Faster and more regular publication of the Court Reports is not, however, the sole means of ensuring that Community law reaches the relevant professional circles, which alone can guarantee its application. That is why the Court regularly organizes visits to enable judges, lawyers, professors and students to familiarize themselves with Community law. The visits, which are of mutual benefit, enable the participant either to deepen his knowledge of Community law, or to put into context or, finally, to develop a constructive and critical approach to the case-law of the Court, depending on the participant's starting point. This demonstrates the importance which the Court attaches to those visits, which have become increasingly frequent as awareness of the importance of Community law has increased. The Court also received numerous visits from members of the highest courts, in particular from constitutional courts, of the Member States. This brief review of the work of the Court during this period would not be complete if one did not mention some especially significant judgments.

    Fordham International Law Journal Volume 27, Issue 2 2003 Article 1 The European Union in Transition: The Treaty of Nice in Effect; Enlargement in Sight; A Constitution in Doubt Roger J. Goebel∗ ∗ Copyright c 2003 by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj The European Union in Transition: The Treaty of Nice in Effect; Enlargement in Sight; A Constitution in Doubt Roger J. Goebel Abstract This Article is intended to provide an overview of this transitional moment in the history of the European Union. Initially, the Article will briefly review the background of the Treaty of Nice, and the institutional structure modifications for which it provides, which paves the way for enlargement. Next it will describe the final stages of the enlargement process. Finally, the Article will set out the principal institutional innovations and certain other key aspects of the draft Constitution, the most important issues concerning them, and the current impasse. THE EUROPEAN UNION IN TRANSITION: THE TREATY OF NICE IN EFFECT; ENLARGEMENT IN SIGHT; A CONSTITUTION IN DOUBT Rogerj Goebel* INTRODUCTION Once again the European Union' (the "EU" or the "Union") is in a stage of radical evolution. Since the early 1990's, the EU has anticipated an extraordinary increase in its constituent Member States2 through the absorption of a large number of Central European and Mediterranean nations. Since the late 1990's, the Union has been negotiating the precise terms for their entry with a dozen applicant nations and has been providing cooperative assistance to them to prepare for their accession to the Union and in particular, its principal con- stituent part, the European Community.3 As this enlargement of the Union came more clearly in sight, the political leadership and the present Member States, joined by the Commission, con- * Professor and Director of the Center on European Union Law, Fordham Univer- sity School of Law.

  • Jesus on Tithing 17
    www.Tithing.com 1 CHAPTER INDEX PREFACE 3 INTRODUCTION 5 FIRST FRUITS 8 ABRAHAM & JACOB 11 JESUS ON TITHING 17 ETERNAL PRINCIPLE 21 THE MINIMUM STANDARD 29 THE LOCAL STOREHOUSE 33 THE BURDEN OF TITHING 38 GREATER GIVING 43 CLOSING THOUGHTS 51 www.Tithing.com 2 PREFACE The preface may be the most important portion to read in this whole book. This will define some terms and clear up some preconceived notions before we proceed to more controversial issues. If you do not believe the tithe is commanded, and are giving through freewill, Spirit-led giving, this resource is written in support of your view of giving; but if you read this only gaining support for the tithing debate, then you will have missed greater intentions that the Spirit of God has. If you support tithing (a minimum requirement of 10%), this resource is not written in total support of your view, but if you feel that this resource will make attempts to excuse selfishness, greed, and disobedience, then you will have missed the greater intentions of giving written here. The challenge for all is to gain knowledge and experience of the greater call and higher guilt led by the Holy Spirit. Whether you give beyond the tithe with limitless offerings, or you give freely, you already exercise the tool used to define "Spirit-led giving". This book will challenge you to give sacrificially. First, let’s explain and compare two types of givers. 1. Cheerful tither - They follow the examples in scripture about tithing, while cheerfully and willingly committing themselves to give a 10% minimum.

(Apple) had violated the European Union (EU) state aid rules when Ireland granted tax advantages to Apple; therefore, the EC ordered Ireland to collect up to €13 billion euros ($15.3 billion U.S. dollars) in tax underpayments from Apple for the 2003 to 2014 period.1 The amount at issue makes this case one of the largest tax controversies in history and has generated a lot of press as a result.2 While the amount in the EC vs. Apple case is unprecedented, it is only one of several EC Decisions dealing with the taxation of multinational transfer pricing activities issued recently, possibly in response to both a United States (U.S.) Senate investigation into U.S.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • He Catalan Sovereignty Process and the Spanish Constitutional Court. an Analysis of Reciprocal Impacts *
    THE CATALAN SOVEREIGNTY PROCESS AND THE SPANISH CONSTITUTIONAL COURT. AN ANALYSIS OF RECIPROCAL IMPACTS * Eduard Roig i Molés** Abstract Since 2013 the Catalan sovereignty process and the Spanish Constitutional Court have increasingly been at odds with one another. This situation has altered the course of the Catalan sovereignty process, with the interventions of the Court notable for having a major bearing on sovereignty initiatives. The aim of this study is to analyse not just the constitutional jurisprudence, but also the transformation of the Catalan sovereignty process based on the decisions of the Constitutional Court, how these decisions have affected the course of action taken by Catalan institutions, and the effects and efficacy of the Court’s judgments, court orders and rulings in curbing the intentions of Catalan institutions. Conversely, the Catalan sovereignty process has had a major impact on the position of the Constitutional Court and its functions, relating to the Court’s jurisprudence and the political choices of regional and state institutions, and this impact is likewise analysed. Lastly, attention is given to the ‘collateral’ effects the Constitutional Court’s intervention in the Catalan sovereignty process has had on a number of other areas of Spain’s constitutional system. Keywords: Spanish Constitutional Court; constitutional law; sovereignty; Catalan sovereignty process Resum Des de l’any 2013, el procés sobiranista s’ha enfrontat progressivament amb el Tribunal Constitucional i ha provocat una mutació del procés
