- Keywords:minority shareholder protection; European Union; mandatory takeover bid; stock market;
- Summary/Abstract:The mandatory takeover bid is seen by the legislator as a way of protection of minority shareholders, by making the intention of the shareholder who exceeds a certain holding threshold and wishes to take control of the company more transparent, makingin this way possible for the minority shareholders to exit the company, if this is seen as appropriate, and not remaining trapped in a company where they could no longer exerciseany influence. The objective of this paper is realizing a comparative analysis at the European level regarding the mandatory takeover bid, by outlining the legal provisions that apply, the similarities and differences between the EU member states. Not in theleast, on the basis of the Romanian jurisprudence, that is related with mandatory takeover bids, there are being questioned the pronounced sentences. According to the comparative study, we can observe the existence in the European national law (including Romania) of the provision regarding the mandatory takeover bid that has positive consequences from a legally point of view, by ensuring the protection of minority shareholders, contributing to the overall growth of the European stock markets.

- Keywords:administrator; mandate contract; individual employment contract; limited liability company;
- Summary/Abstract:It has been frequently analyzed, in the doctrine and practice of commercial law, whether it is opportune to conclude an individual employment contract between the administrator and the limited liability company or a mandate contract. In the context of the free movement of persons in the Member States of the European Union, we consider that it is necessary to have a comparative analysis of company law, especially in the particular matter of the administrator-society relationship. The present study proposes an analysis of compared law between the provisions of Romanian law and those of French law regarding the management of contracts that may intervene between the administrator and the company. Thus, the difficulties related to determining the possibility or not of the administrator to conclude an individual employment contract with the limited liability company can find their solution through a mirror analysis of another legislative model.

- Summary/Abstract:The institution of unusual clauses is a relatively new institution in the Romanian civil law, which has generated different interpretations in practice and in doctrine and which is aimed at preventing imbalances caused by the use of standard clauses. The standard terms serve the interests of the proposing party, setting out important aspects in the contractual relationship that is formed. They tend to change the contractual balance toward which each type of contract regulated by the legislator is approaching. This article analyses the legal conditions of unusual terms, which place one of the parties in a dominant position, shall entail. In particular, we will analyze (I) where the Romanian legislator was inspired to regulate the non-common clauses, (II) the conditions for a clause to be qualified as non-usual, (III) what penalty occurs in the event of non-compliance with the legal provisions on uncommon clauses, (IV) how we can derogate from the effect of the clauses, making them effective and holding the parties to perform that clause.

- Keywords:dissolution; liquidation; nullity; company;
- Summary/Abstract:This paper deals with a fundamental aspect of the legal framework of companies, i.e. the end of the existence of companies, by dissolution and liquidation. We consider that tackling such a topic is very current and fully justified theoretically and practically. Companies reflect the evolution of the society in which they coexist, being undeniably linked to the economic life of civil society. Similar to natural persons, legal persons are born, they carry out their social life according to the purpose for which they were created and disappear through dissolution and liquidation. The presentness of this paper results, thus, not only from the fact that the existence of companies as "engines" of social life affects the entire civil society, but also from the fact that, in the current economic context, the study of companies’ operations of dissolution and liquidation is extremely appropriate for legal practitioners and others.

- Summary/Abstract:The virtual world and artificial intelligence are a daily "reality". The electronic environment defined as On-Line has taken over a large amount of commercial transactions from the classical environment. Classical trading allows you to meet your partners and negotiate directly. In the international trade from On-Line the partners are not often known and they act on a trust given by the community. Business guarantees no longer fall within the attribute of the state (community of states) that confirms the verifiable existence of the company by registering with the Trade Register and/or by fiscal registration. There is no guarantee in e-commerce! The reliable guarantee of the partner's creditworthinessis the system based on trust and the opinions of the other partners who have used transactions before. There are situations in which the provider does not exist in the form presented on the web page. There are situations in which the partner company only has an Internet domain and in reality, it does not exist. Our paper opens a number of issues that can be debated starting with the statute and the legal definition of companies that actexclusively on-line as "legal persons of private law in the online environment". We assistand participate in a new society that has no defined regulations. How, Who and When will it be able to regulate it?

- Keywords:crime; criminal law; contemporary criminology; victim;
- Summary/Abstract:Questions about how crime is measured and what those measurements reveal about the nature and extent of crime are among the most important issues in contemporary criminology. Researchers, theorists, and practitioners need information in order to explain and prevent crime and to operate agencies that deal with the crime problem. It is extremely difficult, however, to gather accurate information. Because of these difficulties, it is necessary for students of criminology to understand how data are collected, what they mean, and whether they are useful. After we look at the objectives and methods of collecting information, we will consider the limitations of the three information sources criminologists most frequently use to estimate the nature and extent of crime. We then explore measurement of the characteristics of crimes, criminals, and victims.

- Summary/Abstract:Within the contemporary market economy and the generalization of open type economies, interdependent international economic relations have emerged based on anopen system of both economic and financial exchanges. They have contributed to the emergence of new business relationships based on the international exchange of outcrying type that did not involve, due to the dynamism as well as of the new economies of the type of digital economies, and a quick adaptation of the customary normative framework and of the legal framework to the new context.

- Page Range:200-210
- No. of Pages:11
- Keywords:VAT frauds; European Union; case law; European cooperation;
- Summary/Abstract:The value-added tax is an indirect tax that represents both an inherent resource of the European Union budget and a resource of EU Member States budgets. Consequently, frauds against national VAT affect both the national budget and the Member States’ budget, which entail the activities for combating this type of fraud to be correlated both at national and at the Community level. Therefore, the Romanian jurisprudence provides examples in which the national judicial authorities have identified a continuous circulation, a "carousel" type, of VAT fraud, between several Member States of the European Union, which has harmed each of the budgets of the states on whose territory it has "transited" and implicitly, the Community budget. The investigation of these frauds and the criminal prosecution of the perpetrators was carried out only at the national level, in a fragmented way, but it also required the judicial cooperation of the Member States in order to support the requesting states in carrying out the investigations. However, the national authorities are missing the cross-border dimension, which requires a European Union authority to investigate such frauds, to correct the deficiencies of the current regime regarding compliance with law, based exclusively on national efforts and to increase their consistency and coordination.

- Keywords:precarious work; worker; Uber; atypical form; risk;
- Summary/Abstract:The main purpose of this article is to analyse the issue of precarious work in Europe, where the proliferation of the new types of employment without the whole spectrum of rights associated with the standard employment relationship has engendered considerable labour market fragmentation and social polarization. Precarious work poses unique challenges to the European social model of secure employment and decent social protection. To address these challenges, we seek to analyse the reasons for the spread of precarious work in various countries in Europe to explain the different types of precarious work and to make proposals to address the phenomenon though improved labour regulation and practice.

- Page Range:220-229
- No. of Pages:10
- Keywords:discrimination; rights; remuneration; criteria; institutions;
- Summary/Abstract:Discrimination in the legal employment relations represents the enforcement of differentiations regarding the rights of the employees, their non-acknowledgement resultingin a disuse of fundamental freedoms. The existence of discrimination is found to be a circumvention of the provisions of the protected criteria contained in the internal and international normative acts, in the sense of not recognizing the principle of equal treatment, by inducing direct or apparently neutral practices of restriction, by the removal of the use or exercise of the employees’ rights in employment relations. The article details the phenomenon of wage discrimination in the legal employment relations, with reference to the application of the wage law in the case of civil servants, especially from the point of view of the contrary provisions regarding non-discrimination.

- No. of Pages:21
- Keywords:performance; professional inadequacy; evaluation criteria; objectives; dismissal;
- Summary/Abstract:The career path of the employee is complex and not without risks. Thus, achieving performance becomes the very reason for establishing individual employment relationships, as they determine the collective performance of the organization and determine the success of the business. Therefore, the concern for performance is present at all times preceding the employment, during the probation period and during the execution of the individual employment agreement and culminates with the solution of a supreme dilemma when dismissing for professional inadequacy. The Labour Code itself requires various interpretations and clarifications in order to be able to transpose the concepts regarding employee performance. Therefore, the present study critically examines the doctrine in the matter, compares the legal texts and interpretation solutions of the courts and applies the common sense of human resources management to determine the way to be followed where the legislator is silent. Thus, the conclusion is clear that at all stages of the employment relationship the employer has in view the performance of the employee, but the objectives, criteria, methods of assessment and measurement are different, depending on the purpose of its evaluation and legal consequences and from the perspective of human resources management. The result of this study is a set of benchmarks regarding the evaluation of the performance and the evaluation of the professional adequacy, the interferences and delimitations between them and other related institutions, interpreted in a multidisciplinary context.

- Keywords:constitutional guarantees; ownership; property rights; the market economy; economic operations;
- Summary/Abstract:This paper presents an analysis of constitutional guarantees for ownership rights set in the key legislation of European states and their impact on the market economy growth. It focuses primarily on the evaluation of the guarantees set in the Constitution and other acting laws of Ukraine granting the ownership rights. In this study, the author employed such research methods as logical, observation, comparative law analysis, etc. The market economy is the opposite of planned economy since decisions are made on production, distribution, pricing, or investments by the owners of production means guided by their interests. Therefore, the topic of constitutional guarantees for ownership and the development of the market economy in post-Soviet and post-Socialist European states can be considered exclusively upon their regained independence (in case of former Soviet Union republics) or upon the collapse of the Socialist system and the termination of activities of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (in case of most European post-socialist states). A state would always pursue to restrict private ownership. The right cannot be considered as absolute but it shall be reliably protected by the state against any claims. Ownership rights, in line with such rights and freedoms as freedom of entrepreneurial activity, freedom of contract, freedom to choose the place of employment and residence, establish the legal framework for the market. This article may be of value to students of law and economics faculties, experts in the theory of law, constitutional law, and civil law.

- Summary/Abstract:The political configuration of the Parliament Chambers is determined by the citizens’ vote and expresses the representative nature of the legislative chamber. The senators and the deputies are organized in parliamentary groups, according to regulations of each Chamber. Creating parliamentary groups represents a constitutional right andnot an obligation; all and any imperative term is null. The activity of the political parties and other the political groups engaged in the election campaign continues within th eParliament, by forming “parliamentary groups” or “political groups”, usually made of members of the Parliament under the same political group or who subscribe to the same program or are followers of the same idea. In the parliamentary practice, establishing parliamentary groups by the deputies and senators who become unaffiliated as a resultof leaving the party under which they were elected is still a controversial aspect. The Constitutional Court of Romania has repeatedly ruled on the possibility to constitute such groups, of which establishment was blocked by the parliamentary majority existing at a given time.
