Given the fact that „the annual EU budget incurs losses over 500 million euros due to fraud”1 establishing a European Public Prosecutor’s Office in order to combat offences that affect the financial interests of the European Union is deemed as a necessity. The difficulty of conducting cross-border investigations by national judicial bodies and the deficiencies of the international judicial cooperation in criminal matters require the creation of such an authority with exclusive jurisdiction in conducting acts of criminal investigation, prosecution and bringing to justice of those who are guilty of committing specific offences that affect the financial interests of the European Union. -

Granting the potential contribution period for establishing the invalidity pension of persons classified within the 1st or 2nd invalidity degree who have lost their capacity to work due to common illnesses or accidents, not related to work, is currently conditioned by the obligation to complete a contribution period „in relation to age, provided in Table No 3” of the Law No 263/2010. The author considers that this provision, laid down in Article 76 (1) of the Law No 263/2010 on the unitary system of public pensions (as revised through Law No 37/2013), is unconstitutional as it is contrary to considerations made by the Constitutional Court in its Decision No 680/2012.

This paper presents the meaning of the term „assets” in Article 535 of the Civil Code and, at the same time, highlights its incorrect use in some of the other texts of the Civil Code and other statutory instruments, in disagreement with the new terminological option. Likewise, it raises a discussion on the lack, within the Civil Code, of a minimum of general rules dedicated to „common assets”, irrespective of their nature, quality of holders and source of community. Finally, following the presentation of negative consequences of the reported shortcomings, some legal remedies are proposed.

The new Romanian Civil Procedure Code has the indisputable merit of rebalancing the relationship between parties and courts, as well as dynamising the settlement of civil disputes. From both these perspectives, provisions of Article 200 of the Civil Procedure Code, pertaining to the check and regularisation of application for summons, mark a specific stage of solving some of the „prior” issues. Some of these not only notable but even surprising provisions will be further discussed.

Asociația Internațională de Filosofie a Dreptului și Filosofie Socială (I.V.R.)1 a fost înființată în anul 1909 la Berlin, ca „Asociația Internațională pentru Filosofia Dreptului și Filosofie economică” și redenumită apoi, în 1933, „Asociația Internațională pentru Filosofia Dreptului și Filosofie socială”. I.V.R este cea mai veche, cea mai mare și importantă organizație în domeniul filosofiei dreptului și filosofiei sociale. Reorganizarea I.V.R. pe secțiuni naționale a fost decisă la Viena în 1959. Astăzi, I.V.R. are mai mult de 40 de asociații naționale membre (între care și asociația națională română), cu peste 2000 de membri în întreaga lume. Asociația este înregistrată, în temeiul legislației germane, și are sediul în Wiesbaden. Scopul său principal este de a sprijini și de a promova filosofia juridică și socială la nivel național și internațional. I.V.R. organizează congrese mondiale, la fiecare doi ani. Publicația oficială a I.V.R. este o revistă internațională, Archiv für Rechts-und Sozialphilosophie. -
Ever since the date of its publication in the Official Gazette of Romania, Part I, the Law No 241/2005 has become a highly debated law in the doctrine, many of its articles underlying inhomogeneous judicial decisions. Article 10 of the above-mentioned Law was one of the Articles which excelled by its lack of predictability, a fact which lead to raising a large number of pleas of unconstitutionality. Over time, its applicability has received some clarifications however, even today, some aspects still raise controversies and continue to lead to an inhomogeneous judicial practice. For this reason, the author believes that the intervention of the High Court of Cassation and Justice would be more than welcome.
