AbstractEuropean language policies have unfolded under the umbrella of the Council of Europe and the European Commission over the last past decades. The major goal has been so far to handle autochthonous multilingualism and preserve language diversity. Major developments in this area has been followed by new political and educational targets. The first one is the spread of high levels of cognitive academic language proficiency (CALP) across all the student population. High CALP levels imply the acquisition of high order skills triggered by the practice of advanced language structures at school, mostly through language across the curriculum schemes. Secondly, their interests lie in the development of second language instruction competence (SLIC); i.e. the ability to process school content in a variety of languages so that multilingual education does not affect communicative levels only. CALP and SLIC will mark the political goals for language policy in the nearby future and it so happens that languages of schooling provide a framework to operationalize these goals. Following on past research on European multilingual language policies, this paper intends to explore the means to make this language policy happen in schools. The major concepts, innovations and policies discussed will be illustrated with examples from the course of History.

AbstractThe pharmaceutical sector is one of the main markets in the European Union. The consumption of medicines is high and steadily increasing. However, the pharmaceutical market is subject to a wider range of restrictions than almost any other sector. The restrictions mainly apply to information provision and advertising practice within the community. One of the main features in pharmaceutical regulation is the ban on direct-to-consumer advertising (DTCA) of prescription medicines. However, an abolition of the ban is controversial in the European Community, especially as the pharmaceutical industry keeps pleading for its ability to use the highly effective marketing strategy of DTCA to promote prescription medicines to the general public. Such advertising is only allowed in two jurisdictions in the world, New Zealand and the United States. In both systems the impact of DTCA on the consumer and the economy has been subject to research. The outcome of these studies is outlined in this article. Since the European Commission has provided a new proposal to amend the current information practice regarding prescription medicines in 2008 (European Commission, Proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council Amending, as Regards Information to the General Public on Medicinal Products Subject to Medical Prescription, Directive 2001/83/EC on the Community Code Relating to Medicinal Products for Human Use, COM/2008/0663 final) it is time to examine different options to regulate the provision of information and discuss the need for a ban of DTCA.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the research of the problem of modeling the structure and content of mathematical competence and competence in the field of science, technology and engineering (STEM-competences) of students. The author notes that the problem of active creative development of students who are able to mobilize knowledge in practice and quickly adapt to unusual situations is relevant for Ukraine today. This leads to the search for high quality education at all levels. A possible solution to this problem is the organization of STEM-learning, which requires the formation of students' STEM-competencies. The author analyzes the existing in scientific publications and official documents definitions of the concepts of purview, competence, STEM-competence. The components of STEM-competence, including cognitive, reflexive-analytical, operational-activity, value-motivational, are clarified. The article identifies the main components of STEM-competence, which consists of the ability to identify the problem, the ability to reason logically, justify their actions, understand and analyze different points of view in solving problems, the ability to unconventionally solve problems, analyze and evaluate results, formulate research tasks and identify ways to solve it, apply knowledge in different life situations. It was found that the methods aimed at the formation of STEM-competence of students should be based on the application of competence, activity and systematic approaches to the organization of learning. The paper emphasizes that the key competencies for the state standard of basic secondary education in Ukraine are based on the recommendations of the Council of the European Union. The author compares the key competences for lifelong learning in Ukraine and the European Union, discusses in detail the skills and attitudes associated with STEM competence. It was found that mathematical competence and competence in the field of science, technology and engineering in the European Union are distinguished as a whole, unlike Ukraine. Key words: purview, competence, key competencies, STEM competency, STEM-education.

Research background: The global nature of modern education and international cooperation in the study of giftedness creates a need to build close ties with organizations that support the gifted and share best practices in this area.The purpose of the study: to summarize data on the system of organizations that support gifted children in European countries.Research methods: the main research method was the search and analysis of the activities of organizations of various types that support gifted children in European countries, as well as the identification of the theoretical and methodological foundations of their activities.The results of the study presented in the article: The article describes the system of public organizations that provide assistance, training, support to gifted children in European countries. An overview of the theoretical and methodological foundations of the study and teaching of gifted children in European countries is given : the differential model of F. Gagne, the concept of multiple intelligences of H. Gardner, the enrichment model of D. Renzulli SEM, the educational models "Turniquet" and "Aktiotop". The activities of both pan-European and international and regional organizations are described. Most organizations are nongovernmental associations of educators, researchers and parents of gifted children. In particular, the specifics of such organizations as the European Council for High Ability (ECHA), the European Talent Support Network (ESTN), the non-profit organization for people with a high intelligence quotient Mensa, Internationalen Centrums für Begabungsforschung (ICBF), the International Panel of Experts for Gifted Education (IPEGE), Associação Nacional para o Estudo e Intervenção na Sobredotação in Portugal (ANEIS), Magyar Tehetségsegítő Szervezetek Szövetsége (MATEHETSZ), Elternverein hochbegabter Kinder in Switzerland (EHK) and Associazione Genitory Education to Talent in Italy (AGET).Conclusions: It is noted that the ideas of personalization of education are widespread, which is realized through mentoring, coaching and the opportunity for a gifted child to independently build his own learning process. The article fixes the network principle of support for the gifted, which is becoming a pan-European trend, including assistance not only to children, but also to parents and teachers who work with them. The largest universities in Europe, powerful public and charitable organizations are involved in work with gifted children. The purpose of this article is to summarize data on the system of organizations that support gifted children in European countries.

The article is dedicated to current state of affairs and perspectives of institutionalization of US-EU relations. Due to different international and domestic political reasons, after the 2020 the two sides declared a rapprochement. The US is likely to re-main the most influential center of power of the current system of international affairs. Due to the process of European integration, the EU acquired an ability to behave as an international actor and the US’ global partner. An ambitious bilateral agenda includes not only pragmatic goals, but a long-term intention to cooperate. Institutions of bilateral relations are supposed to build strategic partnership regardless of concrete political situation. The period from 2021 to 2023 were favorable for such efforts, because of the White House retreat from the isolationist foreign policy. The article explores different formats of cooperation between the US and the EU with special focus on high level co-operation. Interparliamentary connections between the US Congress and European Parliament play a special role in institutionalizing the relations. Special attention is paid to the new frameworks of executive branch cooperation, such as Council for Trade and Technology, as well as a number of Strategic Dialogues on different topics. Institutionalization of bilateral relations is aimed at consolidation of economic and technological resources for strategic confrontation against China.

Schulen setzen vermehrt begabtenförderliche Maßnahmen und entwickeln Angebote und Förderkonzepte für Begabte. Der Artikel beschäftigt sich mit verschiedenen Rollen von Koordinatoren*innen für Begabungs- und Begabtenförderung (BBF) im Kontext von Teacher Leadership (TL) und Schulentwicklung (SE) an niederösterreichischen Gymnasien. Es wird herausgearbeitet, welche Handlungsfelder und Aufgabenbereiche diese sogenannten Teacher Leaders an ihren Schulen ausführen. Am Modell von Teacher Leadership wird aufzeigt, wie sich neben der Schulleitung Lehrpersonen oder andere Mitarbeitende einer Schule an Führung beteiligen, indem sie aufgrund ihrer Expertise, ihres Engagements oder ihres Interesses über den klassischen Unterricht hinaus formell und informell Verantwortung für die Weiterentwicklung der Schule übernehmen. Wenn die Schulleitung den Lehrer*innen Führungskompetenz zugesteht und Verantwortungsbereiche übergibt, muss sie ihrerseits an Macht und Kontrolle abgeben und Führungsverteilung und Machtsharing zulassen. Die qualitative Studie weist darauf hin, dass die Koordinatoren*innen für BBF große Kompetenzbereiche und Verantwortlichkeiten als Teacher Leaders an ihren Schulen abdecken und Aufgabenbereiche im Bereich der Schaffung von begabtenförderlichen Settings aktiv übernehmen. Folglich bräuchte es an allen Schulen Begabungsbeauftragte als Koordinator*innen für Begabtenförderung im Rahmen einer Systemintervention, die durch ihre Expertise im Zusammenhang mit ECHA (European Council of High Ability) Schulentwicklung in Richtung Begabtenförderung anstoßen und weiter betreiben.

The Kenyan flower industry is one of the largest in the world and it is estimated to contribute around one per cent to Kenya’s gross domestic product (GDP).1 According to the Kenya Flower Council (KFC), Kenya exports about 70 per cent of its cut flowers for sale on the European market.2 Women constitute around 65 to 75 per cent of the workforce in the Kenyan flower industry, performing unskilled and poorly paid jobs.3 Female floriculture workers in Kenya experience high rates of sexual harassment (SH) and other forms of workplace violence.4 SH is deeply rooted in power imbalances between the parties involved, which can impact on the ability of the victim to resist or expressly indicate that the conduct is unwelcome. Such power imbalance can threaten victims into silence, resulting in incidences going unreported.5 According to a study on gender, rights and participation in the cut flower industry in Kenya, SH is particularly prevalent among women who are supervised by male managers.6 It was found that the persistence of SH is related to the hierarchical employment structure of floriculture companies, coupled with the lack of female managerial staff, both of which also prevented women from reporting incidences of SH.

The use of anabolic steroid hormones as growth promoters in feed for farm animals has been banned in the European Union since 1988 on the basis of Council Directive 96/22/EC. However, there is still ongoing monitoring and reporting of positive findings of these banned substances in EU countries. The aim of this work was to investigate the efficacy and discriminatory ability of metabolic fingerprinting after the administration of 17β-testosterone esters to pigs. Plasma and urine samples were chromatographically separated on a Hypersil Gold C18 column. High resolution mass spectrometry metabolomic fingerprints were analysed on a hybrid mass spectrometer Q-Exactive. Three independent multivariate statistical methods, namely principal component analysis, clustre analysis, and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis showed significant differences between the treated and control groups of pigs even 14 days after the administration of the hormonal drug. Plasma samples were also analysed by a conventional quantitative analysis using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry and a pharmacokinetic curve was constructed based on the results. In this case, no testosterone residue was detected 14 days after the administration. The results clearly showed that a metabolomics approach can be a useful and effective tool for the detection and monitoring of banned anabolic steroids used illegally in pig fattening.

Full textAbstract:
Global warming is one of the most serious problems that the humanity is facing in his history. Since 1900 to nowadays, the global temperature has risen by 1 °C and, according to the scientific community, the cause is related to the climate-changing emissions due to anthropogenic activities. In order to avoid an environmental disaster, 196 countries have signed the Paris agreement that aims to maintain global warming below 1.5 °C compared with pre-industrial levels. The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is a key issue in contemporary science, and in this context, the ability of certain ionic liquids (ILs) to capture carbon dioxide has attracted a lot of interest. The idea presented in this work is to design an electric double layer supercapacitor which is able to harvest energy by exploiting the reaction between an ionic liquid and carbon dioxide. In particular, the system consists of two carbon-based electrodes and a polymeric separator soaked in ionic liquid. The use of carbon electrodes ensures a high surface area and excellent electrical conductivity while imidazole-based ionic liquid acts and as electrolyte and as capture media. The operating principle of this system is a novel mechanism which exploits the formation of a voltage drop across the device when the electrode-IL interfaces are different; the two different interfaces are ensured by the presence of imidazole carbamate in a part of the cell (Im − CO2 reaction’s product) and just imidazole in the other part. Unfortunately the high viscosity of ionic liquids affects a lot the carrier transport and consequently the device’s performance too; this aspect worsens when imidazole reacts with CO2. Improved ion mobility is achieved by reducing the ion pairing through the use of high dielectric solvents capable to screen the ions’ electric field. Polar aprotic solvents tend to have large dipoles making them suitable for the solvation of charged species. Several mixtures have been analyzed to detect the best dilution which guarantees high ionic mobility still maintaining a large amount of active species. A further performance improvement has been achieved through the engineering of the electrodes, namely the capacitance of the supercapacitor has been enhanced by exploiting the huge specific surface area of the activated carbon. The results show that all the upgrades mentioned lead to an improvement of 500 times in terms of harvested energy.

The article analyzes the practice of European judicial systems regarding the application of such a criterion as integrity to a judge. The author also analyzes the theoretical achievements of scholars regarding the content of such moral and ethical categories which have entered the legal circulation and the national legal field as good faith and integrity. The choice and relevance of the topic is due to the criticism and unsatisfactory state of affairs in the context of numerous reforms in the field of justice in our country and the ambitious goals of achieving the European legal and judicial culture. The author establishes that a condition for judicial independence and administration of justice in compliance with the rule of law is the integrity of a judge. At the same time, it is determined that integrity is a legally established criterion for the qualification assessment of a judge by the High Qualification Commission of Judges of Ukraine with a view to determining the ability of a judge (candidate for the position of a judge) to administer justice in a relevant court. The article analyzes the Recommendation of the European Network of Councils for the Judiciary workshop on the evaluation of judges and provides the main provisions relating to judicial evaluation systems and, accordingly, courts in European judicial systems. In the course of the study of comparative analysis of the selection, evaluation and promotion of judges: current criteria and methodology used in the EU and beyond, the author establishes that integrity competence (ability to resist undue influence, adherence to professional ethics, etc.) is a typical criterion enshrined in the legislation of foreign countries. It is found that in countries that have recently undergone or are undergoing judicial reform, there is a tendency to establish very high and very detailed requirements (criteria) for the selection, evaluation and promotion of judges, but less attention is paid to the methodology for verifying these requirements, which prompts future research to focus on specific methodologies and tools that allow us to understand how decisions are made on whether a person meets these requirements, such as integrity. Based on the analysis of scientific approaches to the use of such moral and ethical categories as good faith and integrity in law, the author concludes that they fully reflect the tasks of the court in the administration of justice and are both a separate requirement (competence) and a guide for a judge in the performance of his or her duties. Key words: court independence, court performance evaluation, evaluation criteria, justice system reform, integrity, good faith.

Abstract. 5Dculture is a 24-month collaborative project co-funded by the European Union. It includes twelve partners from diverse sectors of cultural heritage, including archaeology, museums and fashion. It aims to enrich the offer of European 3D digital cultural heritage assets in the data space and fosters their reuse in important domains such as education, tourism and the wider cultural and creative sectors towards socially and economically sustainable outcomes. In particular, the project will deliver high-quality 3D content by identifying and engaging existing datasets from partners’ collections focusing on topics of fashion, archaeology and architecture, all of which occupy a central place in the vast cultural heritage of Europe. It will also develop several reuse scenarios, which will experiment with the aforementioned assets in their complexity (from high-quality to derivatives).The Discovery Programme has a long research interest in 3D digital documentation and has participated in collaborative projects in the past, notably 3D-ICONS. However, opportunities and challenges in the reuse of 3D archaeological content exist, including the reuse of 3D content to enhance visitors experience at archaeological sites and the ability to exploit 3D surrogates for different sectors (tourism, education, gaming, the arts, conservation and heritage management).This paper will present the research that has been undertaken in this context, through the development of an enhanced processing pipeline to improve the quality of 3D models of cultural heritage assets, resulting in their improved re-use. It will present the approaches to improving model geometry, generating and applying enhanced textures, creating rich and functional metadata and strategies for persistence and archiving.A core component of our research has been the development of the processing pipeline to improve 3D model appearance through the application of parametric materials in the development of synthetic textures which artificially enhance the visualising of cultural heritage objects. Through the visual enhancements of 3D content improvements to the interpretation and aesthetic appearance of monuments and artefacts can be achieved, adding value to the original surveyed data. The paper will detail the processing pipeline, working from prime survey data in survey specific software, through 3D modelling techniques, and finally visualising and presentation approaches which enable increased accessibility and usability.The paper will conclude with a discussion of deliverables, particularly in the context of value to conservation. The Discovery Programme works together with many of the state agencies in Ireland on heritage and conservation projects, and it is the delivery of enhanced but practical outputs that their archaeologists and architects require. These include the Office of Public Works, National Monuments Service & the Heritage Council.

The purpose of the article is to describe the changes NATO undergoing in response to the challenges of our time. Today NATO, as a key element of European and Euro-Atlantic security, is adapting to changes in the modern security environment by increasing its readiness and ability to respond to any threat.
Adaptation measures include the components required to ensure that the Alliance can fully address the security challenges it might face. Responsiveness NATO Response Force enhanced by developing force packages that are able to move rapidly and respond to potential challenges and threats. As part of it, was established a Very High Readiness Joint Task Force, a new Allied joint force that deploy within a few days to respond to challenges that arise, particularly at the periphery of NATO’s territory. NATO emphasizes, that cyber defence is part of NATO’s core task of collective defence. A decision as to when a cyber attack would lead to the invocation of Article 5 would be taken by the North Atlantic Council on a case-by-case basis.
Cooperation with NATO already contributes to the implementation of national security and defense in state policy. At the same time, taking into account that all decision-making in NATO based on consensus, Ukraine’s membership in the Alliance quite vague perspective. In such circumstances, in Ukraine you often can hear the idea of announcement of a neutral status. It is worth reminding that non-aligned status did not save Ukraine from Russian aggression. Neutral status will not accomplish it either. All talks about neutrality and the impossibility of Ukraine joining NATO are nothing but manipulations, as well as recognition of the Ukrainian territory as Russian Federation area of influence (this country seeks to sabotage the Euro-Atlantic movement of Ukraine). Think about it, Moldova’s Neutrality is enshrined in the country’s Constitution since 1994. However, this did not help Moldova to restore its territorial integrity and to force Russia to withdraw its troops and armaments from Transnistria.

The authors lighted out German practice of social work with refugees and the role of ITC during this process. In the article the role of different international organizations such as UNESCO, United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees, International Red Cross Committee, European Council on Refugees and Exiles, International Organization for Migration, etc. was pointed out. These organizations develop and approve international standards of work with refugees, as well as propose modern approaches to solving problems with this category of the world community. The authors identified the main forms and trends of social work with refugees in Germany. They also highlighted the characteristic features in the work of German universities during the training of future social educators to work with migrants and the development of their competencies (namely, ICT competencies). In this article, the authors concluded that the process of training social educators to work with different groups of clients (including work with refugees) in Germany is multilevel. The principles of offensiveness, consistency, persistence in the implementation of content and technology of education are the main ones in the training of future social workers. Other features of the training process for social educators in Germany are also the practical use of an interdisciplinary approach and close cooperation with various state and non-state social organizations. The authors emphasized also that considerable attention during the professional training of future social pedagogues is paid to scientific and practical aspects of their training to work with refugees and immigrants. The formation of ICT competence and mastery of technologies of social "intervention" in the life and situation of the studied category of clients plays the great role for social educators in the preparing for their future profession. In the article is also stated that one of the main requirements for a social educator working with refugees is the ability to use in practice the acquired knowledge and skills to get the best results.

Full textAbstract:
The paper discusses the interpretation of the categories “sports”, “high-performance sports” and “professional sports” and defines peculiarities of each of the concepts in the framework of the study. Thus, “sports” is identified as mass sports, leading to a healthy lifestyle. These are systematic physical exercises to maintain the vital functions of the human body. The category “high-performance sports” is identified with the concept of “professional sports” and formalized as an educational and training process to prepare a person for participation in All-Ukrainian and international sports competitions. It is a person’s professional activity, accompanied by material rewards, coordination of the training process by national coaches, and functionaries of Ukrainian federations. It aims to achieve high results in a particular sport at the world level. The study’s central hypothesis is as follows: “significant achievements of domestic professional athletes at international competitions lead to the active participation of Ukrainian youth in sports.” A system for assessing the impact of the results of high-performance sports on the attitude of young people toward sports and a healthy lifestyle has been formed to confirm the hypothesis quantitatively. The first block of indicators includes indicators that quantitatively characterize the achievements of professional athletes in significant international competitions, such as the Olympic Games, World and European Championships, international Grand Prix, etc. The second block of indicators characterizes the potential opportunities of high-performance sports in Ukraine. These indicators describe the number of professional athletes who can achieve high results in international competitions. The third block of indicators covers indicators that characterize public awareness of the results of international competitions and the achievements of domestic professional athletes. Within this block, we define two separate groups of indicators. The first group of indicators describes the information coverage of the results, and the second group of indicators characterizes the ability of Ukraine to host international sports tournaments. The fourth block of indicators considers indicators characterizing medical support for professional athletes. The fifth block of indicators is a buffer and characterizes the activities of the state in the framework of the popularization of mass sports in Ukraine. The sixth block of indicators describes the reaction of young people to the achievements in high-performance sports. The seventh group of indicators is auxiliary in assessing the level of development of mass sports in Ukraine and characterizes the level of professional growth of Ukrainian coaches. The eighth block of indicators characterizes the activation of interest of the youth in a particular sport as a reaction to the high results of Ukrainian professional athletes in significant international competitions. It has been established that the modern reform of the healthcare system and its connection with physical culture and sports is observed within the framework of two decisions of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine in 2021: On the Human Development Strategy, which defines the main priorities in the development of the country’s most important resource – people; On the State of the National Health System and Urgent Measures to Provide Citizens of Ukraine with Medical Assistance, which defines the main priorities of reforming the healthcare system.

ECS Meeting Abstracts MA2023-02, no. 18 (December 22, 2023): 1201. http://dx.doi.org/10.1149/ma2023-02181201mtgabs.
Full textAbstract:
Bisphenols represent one of the most recognised harmful contaminants found in environment as a result of their extensive use for the industrial production of polycarbonate, epoxy resins, and thermal paper. They are known for their ability to act as endocrine disruptors, as well as for their potential to cause genotoxicity and cytotoxicity. 1. Although the awareness of their toxicity is high and the use of some of their representatives already limited or restricted in EU 2, they still represent a potential threat for public health. Due to their insufficient elimination with standard water treatment methods, the effluent from the wastewater treatment plants continues to be the major source of bisphenol environmental contamination. Thus, it is necessary to develop a new more efficient method. Cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAP) is a promising technology with tremendous potential in removal of various hazardous contaminants from wastewater 3. Essentially, plasma is the fourth state of matter, created by introducing gas into a strong electrical field resulting in ionisation, dissociation, and excitation of gaseous molecules. CAP, which is produced by using air and electricity, is a source of high concentration of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). This property makes it a highly promising, cost-effective, and environmentally-friendly method for decontamination 4. To demonstrate its potential, we investigated the application of air CAP for the removal of bisphenol A (BPA) and bisphenol S (BPS) from aqueous systems. Plasma was generated with surface barrier discharge systems, using different exposure times and discharge operating powers, which led to the formation of different plasma chemistries. Additionally, radical scavenger methanol was used to simulate environmental conditions. The highest degradation efficacies were observed at longest exposure time (480 s) and at high discharge power and was significantly affected by the presence of methanol. Moreover, radical scavenger influenced the formation of CAP generated RONS in liquid as well, resulting in lower concentrations of ˙OH, H2O2, and NO2 -. With non-target approach, we were able to identify 11 BPA and 5 BPS transformation products (TPs) and propose transformation pathways of both compounds. The toxicological examination performed with in vitro HepG2 cell model demonstrated that the mixture of transformation products formed during CAP treatment is less toxic than BPA and BPS. According to these results it was suggested that CAP is an effective and safe method for degradation of bisphenols. The European Parliament and the Council. Regulation (EU) 2020.

Full textAbstract:
The accumulation of energy produced by renewable sources to be used when demand is high is a key aspect of a truly decarbonized grid. Among all energy accumulation technologies, Redox Flow Batteries (RFBs) are specially promising due to its safety, flexibility of design and the ability to decouple capacity and power of the system. In a standard configuration, both redox electrolytes that are stored in external tanks are pumped in the electrochemical reactor separated only by an ion-selective membrane. This membrane is a critical part of the battery as it allows the selective pass of certain ions that compensate the charge imbalances while maintaining separated the active species in their respective compartments. Membranes used in RFB are expensive (up to 25% of the total cost in vanadium RFB), contribute greatly to the ohmic resistance of the battery, and the undesired crossover through it is never fully avoided which produces a performance decay of the battery over time. These issues are addressed by membrane-free RFB designs developed in our group. The idea behind MFreeB ERC project is to take advantage of the immiscibility of certain liquids to naturally separate redox active species in a membrane-free battery design [1]. Aqueous Biphasic Systems (ABSs) are a special example of all-aqueous natural occurring immiscible phases made by mixing water with two compounds that can be either polymers, inorganic salts or both. The two redox active species added to the biphasic system can be rationally selected and optimized so that they partition specifically to one of the two phases used as anolyte and catholyte [2]. These types of batteries have been proposed by several groups, including us, mostly as “static batteries” because filter-press reactors, typically used in conventional RFB, cannot be easily adapted to this membrane-free concept. In order to develop truly flowing systems, a totally different electrochemical reactor should be designed. Here, we report on the development of an electrochemical reactor that allows the formation of the two immiscible phases making possible the testing of immiscible batteries under flowing conditions for the first time. A counterflow flow-through configuration was used since it reduces flow instabilities while at the same time it allows high conversion rates in the carbon felt electrodes avoiding mass transport issues [3]. Several tests were performed in the battery; e.g. polarization curves, charge and discharge cycling and efficiency over time were measured. Moreover, the self-discharge phenomena, occurring near the interface when charged species enter in contact and provoking a loss of efficiency, was evaluated as a function of operating conditions. Special attention was given to the study of the different processes occurring in the region near the interface in order to mitigate losses and further optimize the design.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to report the notable findings of students with different domiciled status. There is a lack of research and understanding of how prior study experiences and the expectations of new students that are due to embark on an MSc by coursework level (also known as postgraduate-taught [PGT]) can impact on their study and ability to persist and succeed. The research available has mainly been confined to post-experience surveys. By identifying prior study experiences and study expectations, education providers in higher education institutions can use these insights not only to attract more students but to improve retention rates and the overall student experience. The research undertaken in the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Computing at a London-based, post-1992 institution aims to provide valuable data and insights into this nationally and internationally neglected area. Design/methodology/approach – New taught postgraduate students provided data on their previous study experiences, study expectations, opinions of postgraduate-level study and demographic data via a hard copy questionnaire which was distributed and completed during the orientation period in September 2012. It was entered into the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), and a range of tests were run on the data. Findings – The findings in this paper and the project in general will be further explored and investigated as a result of the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) awarding a major grant to the post-1992 university to undertake research into these areas amongst nine similar English universities. Research limitations/implications – As the research was conducted over a one-year period, the findings are based on the limitations that such a time and financially limited project can offer. The institution at which the research was undertaken is a post-1992 institution that has high concentration towards teaching functions. The findings in this paper and the project in general will be further explored and investigated as a result of the HEFCE awarding a major grant to the post-1992 university to undertake research into these areas among nine similar English universities. Originality/value – The research highlights the similarities and differences in prior study experiences and expectations of studying at PGT level between the UK-, the European Union- (EU) and Non-EU-domiciled respondents. The research offers potentially important findings for similar institutions that are currently looking to develop and expand their PGT provision.

The article presents the results of research on the impact of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union on Poland’s ability to build small, minimalblocking coalitions in the Council of the European Union. To this end, the theory of voting games was used, but departing from the assumption that the creation of each possible coalition of players is equally likely. It was also assumedthat they do not necessarily make decisions independently of each other, and the analysis focuses on the ability to build minimally blocking coalitions. The obtained results indicate that after Brexit, for Poland to build a blocking coalition in opposition to the German-French tandem will be a very difficult task, and the loss of the United Kingdom as a potential coalition partner in the Council may be irreplaceable in some matters.

Over the years, international organizations have played critical roles in the interactions and relationships that develop within the international system between and among states. The Russian Federation joined the Council of Europe in 1996 to strengthen its democratic policies. The nature of Russia’s membership in the Council of Europe is somewhat paradoxical, given how far it strayed from the organization’s objectives and principles. This also includes the organization's credibility and ability to promote democratic values throughout the Russian Federation by applying the European Convention on Human Rights. In light of the latest developments in the conflict with Russia, the issue of the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms, on which the Council of Europe is mainly focused, seems to be a key point in the European debate and beyond. This paper summarized all points where the Council of Europe deviated from its principles and objectives. The Council of Europe, among others, has to strengthen its authority and become more resilient to afford future crises. The main question of this paper is directly related to the research strategy which is the first element. The general question of this paper is as follows: Can the mission and purpose of the Council of Europe be considered fulfilled in any case of the existence of this organization?

In 2014, Kosovo became a member of two Council of Europe (CoE) partial agreements: on the Development Bank and on the European Commission for Democracy through Law (the Venice Commission). More recently, the Government of Kosovo expressed an interest in joining the CoE. This article examines, in the context of Kosovo’s contested statehood, the conditions and procedure for Kosovo’s possible admission to the CoE and describes, in the form of an early warning, the key legal and policy issues that could arise in this process. Insofar as membership criteria are concerned, the article examines Kosovo’s ability to exercise jurisdiction over its territory. In this regard, the case of Azemi v. Serbia before the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR or the Strasbourg Court) and the EU-facilitated agreements between Belgrade and Pristina are considered. In addition, the article argues that that the direct applicability of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR) and the ECtHR’s case law in Kosovo are evidence of Kosovo’s commitment to fulfilling one of the essential membership criteria. Regarding Kosovo’s prospects for admission, the article submits that the recognition of Kosovo by more than two-thirds of the Council’s member states is an indicator that, in principle, Kosovo could ensure the votes necessary for admission. However, it also highlights the specific challenges Kosovo may encounter in its membership path due to complex admission procedures within the CoE Committee of Ministers and the composition of the members of the CoE Parliamentary Assembly (PACE).

There typical EWC development paths can he singled out. To a certain extent these paths already exist. They can also he described as development stages of individual EWCs: the EWC with an exclusively national frame of reference: the EWC which is taking on an international quality, but focusses on the industrial relations within the parent company's country: the EWC deliberately working to develop a supranational collective identity with a European underpinning amongst members tending towards equality. Four dimensions can be analytically distinguished in this regard: time, money, information and power. The better the EWC can equip itself in terms of these four “claims”, the greater is the chance of developing a European identity and ability to act effectively. Naturally, the reverse is also true. The four claims are here differentiated in relation to EWCs, based on empirical knowledge mainly derived from two projects in which the author was or is a participant. As examples, the cases of Hoechst (chemical industry), Schmalbach-Lubeca (metalworking industry), AXA/UAP (insurance) and Kredietbank (baiting) are succinctly described. The evaluation looks selectively at a few other relevant empirical project results without detailed substantiation. The results are generalised in terms of a “good EWC practice”. The final part deals with the main subjects of the forthcoming revision of the EWC Directive, which focuses on improvement of the four main claims of EWCs' resource situation.

Full textAbstract:
The positions of scholars on the concept of “judicial decision quality” have been examined. Criteria for a high-quality judicial decision include justice, timeliness, justification, clarity, clear language, and an accessible style. The researchers also distinguish between objective (legal training, legal experience, qualification requirements for judicial candidates, opportunities for practicing judges to improve their skills, mechanisms for monitoring the work of judges, unrestricted public access to judicial decisions, the role of legal science in analysing judicial decisions) and subjective (the judge’s personality, salary, social guarantees, working conditions and ability to organise their work) factors that affect the quality of a judicial decision. The summaries of judicial practice and analytical work on the application of the Supreme Court’s legislation focus on the following requirements for the quality of drafting and execution of court decisions in cases on administrative offences: execution of a judicial decision with strict compliance by the court with the requirements established by law to its form and content, compliance with the legislation on the language of legal proceedings.
Normative legal acts aimed at developing a unified approach to understanding the quality of judicial decisions have been analysed. Requirements for determining the quality of a judicial decisiont are considered in the Conclusion of the Advisory Council of European Judges No. 11 (2008) on the quality of judicial decisions, including external environment – legislation and economic and social context (legislation, resources, actors in the judicial system and legal education), internal environment - professionalism, procedural rules, case consideration and decision-making (professionalism of the judge, procedural rules and case management, case consideration in court, elements inextricably linked to decision-making).
Judicial decisions in cases of bullying in vocational education institutions adopted in accordance with the provisions of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offences are considered with regard to the presence or absence of requirements for the quality of judicial decisions. It has been established that a certain number of judgements do not have the components of judicial quality.
Shortcomings of the current legislation on administrative offences have been highlighted. In particular, the outdated provisions of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offences; the absence of an article that would provide for the adoption of rulings by courts in the name of Ukraine in cases of administrative offences, etc.
The article analyses the judicial decisions made by courts in the period from 2019 to 2021 in cases on administrative offences involving bullying of participants in the educational process in vocational education institutions in terms of their clarity (comprehensibility) and validity. It has been highlighted that most judicial decisions contain an exhaustive list of evidence in the case; the courts comply with the requirement to find out whether an administrative offence has been committed, whether the person is guilty of committing it, whether he or she is subject to administrative liability, etc..

Full textAbstract:
THE SINGLE EUROPEAN ACT AND THE MAASTRICHT TREATY attempted to balance two principles of representation in their redesign of the institutional structures of the European Union: the one, based on the indirect representation of publics through nationally elected governments in the European Council and Council of Ministers; the other, based on the direct representation of publics through a more powerful European Parliament. There is much to be said for this balance, for neither of the two principles can, on its own, be an adequate solution at this stage in the development of the EU. The Council suffers from a non-transparent style of decision-making and is, in the view of many, closer to oligarchic than to democratic politics. On the other hand, the claims of the European Parliament to represent public sentiments on European integration are limited by low voter participation, the second-order nature of European elections and the still Protean nature of what we might call a transnational European demos. The EU lacks a single public arena of political debate, communications and shared meanings; of partisan aggregation and political entrepreneurship; and of high and even acceptance, across issues and member states, that it is European and not national majority views which should count in collective rule-making.

Full textAbstract:
The European Union (EU) “realized” its Arctic interests mainly due to the entry of Denmark, and then Finland and Sweden, which forced Brussels to start developing special programs for the development of the northern and subarctic territories. Over time, the Arctic has become an increasingly important object of attention for scientists, ecologists, power engineers, the military, including those from the EU countries. It was gradually opened up as a military-strategic region, influencing the global climate, forming new logistical sea routes, and as a storehouse of resources. Given the ever-growing interest in the Arctic of the socalled non-Arctic players, primarily China, the EU is also striving to define its position in the region. Its ability to cooperate with other actors, including the Arctic Council, is limited by many factors and circumstances. Nevertheless, Brussels is clearly following the agenda of increasing its presence in the Arctic. However, given the current de facto ignorance by the Arctic Council countries of the largest Arctic state represented by Russia, the still cautious attitude towards the EU on the part of other Council members may be changed. The purpose of the article is to identify the most significant factors that determine the possibility of strengthening the EU’s position in the Arctic, as well as the circumstances that impede this strategy. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to solve the following tasks: to analyze the main aspects of the EU Arctic strategy; identify opportunities for EU interaction with Arctic institutions; indicate the influence of the Russian factor on the Arctic prospects of the EU.

The article deals with the system of EU own resources which is currently formed by traditional own resources, VAT-based resource and GNI-based resource. The system and its potential reform have been subject of scientific and political debates for many years. On 21 July 2020, the European Council agreed on the multiannual financial framework 2021-2027 and a specific recovery instrument Next Generation EU. The European Council conclusions also confirmed the need to reform the existing system and to introduce new own resources (e.g. resource based on non-recycled plastic waste). Therefore, this article aims to elaborate on the EU own resources and their future post-2020. The methods of description, analysis, comparison, and synthesis were used for writing this contribution. First, the current system of EU budget revenue is analysed. Second, reform efforts since the establishment of the High Level Group on Own Resources are described. Third, the European Commission’s original proposal from 2018 is compared to the European Council conclusions.

It is an office clearly supported by the constitution Articles 215 and 217, demonstrating the features of the southern European model of the functioning of judicial councils in Europe. Although judges do not formally have a majority in the High Council for the Judiciary, they can in practice obtain it when making specific decisions. However, in this aspect, the solutions adopted in Portugal do not follow the recommendations of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe. They are also critically assessed in reports of other institutions e.g. GRECO.

In 1995, a new European system for the authorization of medicinal products went into effect. After 10 years of cooperation between National Registration Authorities at the European Union (EU) level and 4 years of negotiation, in June 1993 the Council of the EU adopted three directives and a regulation that together form the legal basis of the current system. The European Medicines Evaluation Agency (EMEA) was established on July 22, 1993, and London was chosen as its coordinating center, housing the Committee for Proprietary Medicinal Products (CPMP), which is the body that advises the European Licensing Authority (European Commission). The EMEA has the opportunity to harness the expertise and resources of member states and their ability to oversee local implementation.

Abstract Aside from the Arctic Council itself, a number of inter-governmental neighbourhood groupings – here defined as ‘sub-regional’ – have mandates covering at least part of the European High North. This paper asks how far the issues on the emerging Arctic agenda are addressed, in practical and/or policy terms, by such multilateral entities as the Nordic Council, Nordic Council of Ministers, Barents Euro-Arctic Council, Northern Dimension of the European Union, and Council of Baltic Sea States. Do these groups play conscious and helpful roles in tackling specific Arctic challenges, supporting a cooperative approach, and/or building joint Arctic policy platforms for their members? If not, do the explanations lie in the nature and limited competences of ‘sub-regional’ governance; in a lack of coordination, divisions and discrepancies between the bodies in question; or in an absence of political will? The need and scope for improvements are finally addressed against the wider political and institutional backdrop of the Arctic.

Full textAbstract:
Climate policy is a complexed area of cooperation between Member States and European Union institutions. The ambitious goals that the EU sets for itself in this matter are not always possible to be met by all Member States, hence the ability to work out compromise solutions is of great importance. Member States have different internal conditions, which determine the objectives of their economic and energy policies, therefore they do not always have convergent interests in this area.
The decision-making centre where EU climate protection policy is created is: the European Council, where key elements of this policy are agreed (such as reduction targets), and so-called an ‘institutional triangle’, i.e. EU Council, European Parliament and European Commission which are directly involved into the legislative process. This configurations is a platform where cooperation of the Member States manifests itself in various forms and intensity and where these countries may attempt to force their interests in the process of creating EU policy.
The authors present the legal bases of the European Union's competences in the field of climate policy and the role of the EU institutions in its creation with particular focus on mechanisms that allow Member States to influence the shape of that policy.

In this case, the General Court (Second Chamber) of the Court of Justice of the European Union found that the European Council made manifest assessment errors of facts in using the continuation test to extend antidumping duties on the non-dumping applicant. However, due to the high discretion of the Council and the Court in making antidumping decisions, it is not a rigid rule that the non-dumping producers shall be exempt from the duties in the expiry review.

The article discusses the participation of the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy of the European Union (the High Representative) and that of the European External Action Service (EEAS) in proceedings before the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). It recalls that, while the EEAS, in accordance with its prerogatives, has been accepted as a party mainly in staff cases since its creation, the High Representative itself has only recently asked for leave to intervene in order to protect its institutional standing. By order of 3 March 2022, the President of the Court of Justice allowed the intervention of the High Representative in an inter-institutional case (C-551/21), opposing the Commission and the Council on the question of which institution is allowed to decide who signs EU agreements with third countries. Only two months later, the order of the President of the Grand Chamber of the General Court of 11 May 2022 granted the High Representative leave to intervene in support of the Council in case T-125/22 RT France v Council. These two orders mark a milestone for the judicial presence of the Union’s foreign policy chief. The High Representative can now intervene before the Court in external relations cases which directly affect his institutional prerogatives. The authors submit that the same arguments should also allow the High Representative to bring direct action against other EU institutions or to be challenged in that way in certain constellations.

Such qualities include global thinking; professional values and morals; cultural competence; functional literacy and professional universality; culture of communication; ability to apply knowledge in professional situations; responsibility, the culture of group interaction, social and professional mobility, ability to study for a lifetime, foreign language and sociocultural competence in a foreign language among students of humanities. Now foreign-language education in Ukraine is being reformed taking into account the achievements of European countries by such documents of the Council of Europe as: “Bilingual education: the main strategic tasks”, “All-European competencies in foreign language proficiency: study, teaching, evaluation”, “European language portfolio”, “Aligning language exams with All-European recommendations on language education”, “Strategic development program for Multilingual Europe 2020”, “Recommendations on pluralistic approaches to languages and cultures”, requirements for Euro-exams, etc. The ideas of the language policy of the Council of Europe are increasingly being implemented in our country: the number of languages is increasing; there is an increasing number of people who speak at least one foreign language; several foreign languages were started in secondary schools; the number of academic hours for learning a foreign language is increasing in universities; in some institutions of higher education, foreign languages are considered the second working language.

The academic thesis analyses the obligations that are connected with the topic of assessing the consumer's ability to repay a consumer loan. The author interprets the obligations in assessing the consumer's ability to repay the loan in the sense of the current de lege lata legislation, which is supplemented by the current case law. The chosen topic is set in the context of Directive 2008/48/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2008 on credit agreements. The author presents arguments indicating the inadequate implementation of individual directives and decisions of the Court of Justice in the courts' decision-making.

Full textAbstract:
In 2018 the use of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms in European judicial systems remains primarily a private-sector commercial initiative aimed at insurance companies, legal departments, lawyers and individuals. The European Commission for the Efficiency of Justice (CEPEJ) of the Council of Europe in the 4 of the december 2018 has adopted the first european text setting out ethical principles relating to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in judicial systems. The Charter provides a framework of principles that can guide policy makers, legislators and justice professionals when they grapple with the rapid development of AI in national judicial processes. Aside from the benefits for copyright traceability and management, blockchain can also become a central means for protecting digital assets and provide the rightholder with the ability to pursue civil and criminal remedies. The Anti-Counterfeiting Blokathon Forum on 2018 takes forward its works on using blockchain to cocreate the future EU anti-counterfeiting infrastructure. Could blockchain live up to the challenge? Any future anti-counterfeiting blockchain solution must comply with Regulation (EU) No 608/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 June 2013 concerning customs enforcement of intellectual property rights, and with Ethical Charter made from CEPEJ in the 2018.

AbstractThis article explores the development of a doctrine of humanitarian intervention and responsibility to protect among Swedish policy-makers. The doctrine may or may not include an authorization by the United Nations (UN) Security Council as a necessary component. The article investigates how the new doctrine fits with the Swedish constitutional regulation of the use of force and how the evolution of the new Swedish view of the jus ad bellum interacts with the regulation of the use of force in the European Union (EU). The responsibility to protect answers to many of the concerns voiced in Parliament; the doctrine caters both to those who wish a basis for action independent of the Security Council and to those who are faithful to the UN. The parliamentary debates as well as government documents point to a developing political consensus that unilateral humanitarian intervention may be justified under certain exceptional circumstances. The argument that decisions should be made by the Security Council is difficult to maintain in the face of grave human suffering which would otherwise warrant action by the international community. The increasing ability and willingness to intervene internationally in Sweden and the EU leads to a further question, namely: For what will the force be used?

AbstractThe Balkans have been the crucible of the EU's Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP). In the 1990s the appointment of David (Lord) Owen as a strong representative to manage the EU's Bosnian policy, the sidelining of the EU itself by the Contact Group, and American dominance at Dayton (what price 'this is the hour of Europe'?) and over Kosovo were important precursors to the important European Council decisions in June 1999 to appoint a high-profile international statesman as High Representative for the CFSP and to create the EU's own military capability in European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP). The Constitutional Treaty's further provisions, notably replacing the Presidency in external relations, will be sorely missed and will need to be brought back.ESDP is developing well, if modestly, and making a genuine contribution, mostly with a strong civ-mil component, in several parts of the world. The CFSP itself seems to be managing quite well. But the EU is not yet set up for serious 'events' or crisis management. Experience shows, and greater recognition is needed, that the EU (probably even with an EU Foreign Minister) needs to be represented by member states that carry conviction to outside interlocutors: some member states are inevitably more equal and carry greater weight than others, even if all have an equal voice. Since EU foreign policy is in large measure inescapably a function of US foreign policy, member states need to have a better common understanding among themselves about the nature of the transatlantic relationship. It will take confidence in the efficacy of the CFSP, to which all must give greater priority, before those member states that have alternatives will accept being bound to conducting their foreign policy (or being represented in the UN Security Council) through Brussels. at will take time and effort.

Full textAbstract:
One of the most important areas of mathematics education that must be developed from a young age is geometry. Various studies state that arithmetic, geometry, and measurement are three mathematical disciplines that must be prioritized in early childhood education. This research aims to determine the effect of the Somatic, Auditory, Visual, and Intellectual (SAVI) learning model on the geometric abilities of children aged 5-6 years. This research uses a pre-experimental experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample in this study was 18 children aged 5-6 years old Harapan Bunda Kindergarten Pancung Sol Pesisir Selatan. Data collection was obtained from observation and documentation, then the data was analyzed using paired sample tests. The results obtained in this research are that the SAVI model can improve the geometric abilities of children aged 5-6 years. This is known from the results of the paired sample t-test, which obtained a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, which means Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted so that children's initial mathematical abilities, geometry, increase through the SAVI learning model. Children may become actively involved in their education with the help of the SAVI learning model, particularly when it comes to teaching them geometric forms. Because the teacher may utilize real items to aid in learning, children can recognize and retain the geometric forms around them as they grow older.

The European Energy Law will have great impact on Serbia and its renewable energy sector. The Energy Community is extending the European Union ("EU") internal energy market to Southeast Europe and beyond on the ground of legally binding treaty. Thus, Serbia, as a member of the Energy Community, has been committed to implement the relevant EU regulations concerning the energy sector step-by-step. Furthermore, the ability of Serbia to assume the obligations of membership is evaluated on the basis of the implementation of the EU Acquis. The energy sector? has been outlined by the European Commission as one of the fields where Serbia will have to undertake additional efforts to align with the acquis in the medium term. As the European Council granted Serbia the candidate status in March 2012, the EU will monitor the adoption of the EU Energy Acquis closely.

Abstract Introduction A continuous updating of medical specialists’ competence and practice to follow the advancements of science, as well as the promotion of an harmonized high standard of practice, are fundamental in EU countries. Accordingly, for occupational medicine specialists it is of utmost relevance to acquire, and to be able to demonstrate, an adequate and updated set of skills at a European level. Materials and Methods The Section of Occupational Medicine of the European Union of Medical Specialists (OM UEMS) has defined the appropriate level of OM specialists’ professional competence and practice in the document ‘European Training Requirements for OM (OM ETR)’. Furthermore, to assess the level of specialists’ competence, the Section organizes annually the European Postgraduate Assessment in Occupational Medicine (EPA OM). Results The OM ETR was developed in 2012, in collaboration with the European Association of Schools of Occupational Medicine (EASOM), and approved by the UEMS Council in 2013. An update is currently under development. Furthermore, from 2020 the OM UEMS organizes yearly a European Postgraduate Assessment in Occupational Medicine, that was evaluated and approved in 2020 by the Council for European Specialists Medical Assessment (CESMA), a specific advisory body of the UEMS. Conclusions OM UEMS promotes a uniform and updated high-quality competence of OM specialists in all European countries. The role of national authorities in defining the content of postgraduate training in their own country, and in qualifying specialists, cannot be replaced, but the OM ETR and the European exam can be considered valid tools for these purposes at a European level.

The article emphasizes that granting Ukraine the status of a candidate for the European Union imposes on the state, among other things, obligations related to judicial reform. Attention is drawn to the conclusion of the European Commission on 7 requirements, the fulfillment of which should be evidence that Ukraine is ready to continue its path in the EU. Attention is focused on the Supreme Council of Justice, the question of its legal status is revealed.
It is noted that the rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen are a complex phenomenon. It is a mistake to reduce their provision exclusively to legal influence in the field of human rights, or legal regulation or protection of human rights. The structural elements of the human rights enforcement mechanism are the mechanism of legal influence in the field of human rights, the mechanism of legal regulation in the field of human rights, the regulatory and legal basis of human rights, the system of guarantees of human rights, and the system of protection of human rights.
Attention is drawn to the peculiarities of the institutional mechanism for ensuring human rights in Ukraine. Its structural elements are considered.
It is noted that the Supreme Council of Justice is a collegial, independent constitutional body of state power and judicial governance. Attention is drawn to the powers of the High Council of Justice, which are enshrined in Art. 3 of the Law of Ukraine "On the High Council of Justice". It is argued that the Supreme Council of Justice is a structural element of the institutional mechanism for ensuring human rights in Ukraine. The place of the High Council of Justice in this mechanism is determined, as well as its influence on the effectiveness of the judiciary in Ukraine.

Using the dialectical and documentary method, the article analyzes the state of implementation of the strategic priority of reforming Ukraine's judicial system. It demonstrated that, under the current conditions for Ukraine, European integration is a key priority of the state's foreign policy. Issues hindering the successful implementation of Ukraine's strategic course towards European integration were identified, such as: Ukraine requires a comprehensive renewal of three bodies: the bar association, the law enforcement system, and the courts themselves. The conditions for the effective administration of justice have also been determined: updating of the High Council of Justice and the High Qualification Commission with the participation of international experts; creation of a new court to replace the Kiev District Court of Appeal, which will consider key decisions of state bodies; ensure the fair composition of the Constitutional Court; Building public confidence in the judicial and police system. It is concluded that it is important in the process of reform of the Superior Council of Justice to find a compromise between non-interference in the activities of this body, its components, and to guarantee the transparency and effectiveness of its decisions.

Full textAbstract:
Most intergovernmentalist analyses of European integration focus on treaty bargaining among European Union member governments. Recent articles also have examined everyday decision making through power index analysis, an approach that asserts that a government's ability to influence policy is a function of all possible coalitions in the Council of Ministers to which it is pivotal. This approach suffers from two major weaknesses. First, it fails to take into account the policy preferences of governments; it overestimates the influence of governments holding extreme preferences and underestimates that of more centrist governments. Second, power index analysis fails to consider the important roles of the Commission of the European Communities and the European Parliament in legislative processes. Today's procedures affect the mix of agenda-setting and veto power, and this has systematic effects on policy outcomes. If intergovernmentalism is to explain choices made during treaty rounds, it must take into account these legislative dynamics.

Full textAbstract:
The Supreme Council of Justice, which replaced the Supreme Council of Justice, plays a rather serious and important role in the formation of the judicial corps, the appointment and dismissal of judges, as well as in their disciplinary responsibility. Accordingly, it can be argued that ensuring the independence of the judicial branch of government and expanding access to fair justice for everyone is closely related to the effective functioning of the Supreme Council of Justice, or the Supreme Council of Justice. If we turn to the history, the history of the creation of such a body in Ukraine, then we should start from 1998, since it was then that the High Council of Justice was formed, which determined the path of development of the judicial system. The creation of such a step was quite a powerful jerk of our judicial system. However, despite a rather positive goal, there were a number of shortcomings in the High Council of Justice, which led to the need for reform, which began in 2015, as part of a large-scale judicial reform, which in turn was aimed at improving Ukraine’s compliance, especially in the field of justice , to European standards. The changes that occurred in the Constitution of Ukraine, introduced back in 2015, made it possible to foresee the creation of the High Council of Justice, which precisely increased the requirements for judges and the optimization of the judicial system. The purpose of this organization was aimed at strengthening the independence of the judicial branch of government, thereby making it more transparent and accessible to citizens, increasing their trust. Therefore, it can be argued that the Supreme Council of Justice acts as a key body responsible for reforming and proper functioning of the renewed judicial system of Ukraine. Further efforts should be aimed at strengthening independence and increasing the efficiency of its activities, both in the interests of Ukrainian society and the state. Only in the presence of institutional capacity and public trust will the High Council of Justice be able to properly ensure the formation of an independent and professional judicial corps, guarantee the independence of judges by supervising them, observe rights and freedoms, help reform the judicial system (improve the judiciary), overcoming various gaps in it, and also strengthen international cooperation and European integration.
