Cross-Border Employment and Social Rights in the EU Road Transport Sector - Amber Zwanenburg - ebook

In an era of economic globalisation, the declining regulatory role of governments competing for investment and the rising power of multinational enterprises are leading to a race to the bottom in the area of fundamental social rights. This issue needs to be redressed. It is essential to promote fundamental social rights, at both national and international level, in order to give economic globalisation a more human face. At present, the advancement of social rights is mainly in the hands of the International Labour Organisation, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development and the United Nations, which provide minimum labour standards that focus on governments and enterprises.

Het Openbaar Ministerie, het om - het zijn abstracte begrippen die we dagelijks voorbij zien komen in het nieuws, maar een gezicht hebben ze niet echt. Daarin brengt dit boek verandering. We zien medewerkers van het Openbaar Ministerie aan het werk in de haven, op zoek naar ondermaatse vis en cocaïne; in scanstraten, aan de slag met strafdossiers voor de rechter; en in het voetbalstadion, bezig met het handhaven van de orde rond een wedstrijd. De beelden van fotograaf Raymond Rutting verbeelden de bijzondere positie van het Openbaar Ministerie in onze democratische rechtsstaat: tussen bestuur, politie en rechtspraak in. Een organisatie van mensen met een missie: de handhaving van de rechtsorde in de Nederlandse samenleving, met het strafrecht als instrument.   The Public Prosecution's Office, the prosecution - these are terms we see in the news every day, yet they often feel abstract and faceless. This book changes that. We see prosecutors at work in ports, looking for undersized fish

This book acts as a guide to companies doing business with parties in the European Union. It provides the reader with answers to key questions of private international law. When and under which conditions can the court(s) of an EU Member State assume jurisdiction and which law will be applied? Will the resulting judgment be recognised and enforced in other EU Member States? In addition to a general explanation of the system of private international law in the EU Member States, the book provides answers on questions of jurisdiction and applicable law in a selection of areas: the negotiation and conclusion of general contracts, consumer contracts, individual employment contracts, directors' liability and tort. The integrated treatment of jurisdiction and applicable law for each of these subjects also makes the book an excellent guide to legal practice.
