The study presents a piece of research work into the content and boundaries of the financial control, its relationship with the financial system and the financial law regulation, the types of financial control and the existence and functioning of the financial control system. The critical examination of the legal concept of finance and the theory of the financial system created by the great Bulgarian scholar – professor Miltcho Kostov – marks the beginning of the study. Prof. Kostov’s ideas has long lived methodological impact upon the contemporary financial law theory in Bulgaria and is a good starting point for establishing a reliable and long-term research framework. The content of the financial system and the scope of the financial law regulation in the context of market economy and democratic state represent a particular scientific interest. Any financial system coincides with the scope of financial law regulation and comprises several components: state budget and extra budget funds, municipal budgets and extra budget funds, social insurance and health insurance fund budgets, the budget of the central bank. The state budget is the integrating center of all these budgets balancing their receipts and spending through intra budget relations. Financial control is the control over the funds and the assets within the financial system but its scope goes beyond the reach of the financial system to encompass the different publicly assigned funds and assets. Financial control has a compound nature and consists of nine legally regulated kinds, as follows: financial inspection, tax and insurance audit and control, customs’ control, social insurance control, budget control exercised by the Minister of Finance, audit exerted by the National Audit Office, internal control as a part of financial management systems, internal audit and audit over the EU funds. The different kinds of financial control have been analyzed through the angle of the notion of the so called “controlling competence”. The competence includes a system of controlling powers, first to verify and prove and second to impact the behavior of the persons controlled. All kinds of control are specific by nature with well delineated ambits and complement one another. A conclusion has been drawn that the financial control system exists and functions with two integrating centers – the Minister of Finance and the National Audit Office.

The Bulgarian Public Finance Statute treats relationships related to the creation and spending of social insurance and health insurance funds. The regulation of these relationships belongs to two different branches of law - Financial law and Social Insurance law. Bulgarian social insurance legal theorists are evading the problem of the clear and sharp delineation between the ambits of regulation of financial law and social insurance law. This lack of a clear borderline requires more conceptual reasoning on these issues.

General Administrative Procedure Act was enacted in 2016 and started to be applied as of June 1, 2017. The new law brought important novelties and significantly altered the concept of its predecessor, which has tradition longer than eight decades. As it suits the law of such prominence and the scope and importance of the novelties, the new General Administrative Procedure Act provoked contrasting reactions in the academic community – from critique to commendations. The author of the paper (at the same time the one of the authors of the draft law) proposes amendments to the law that could ameliorate the administrative procedure. The author of the paper finds that there is a space for improvement of the provisions concerning the guarantee act, parties, delivery, objection, appeal and enforcement procedure.

The rules on limiting the use of State aid apply to all EU members. The purpose of the State aid regime is to prevent governments from granting financial privileges to beneficiaries in a way that may distort competition. Types of State aid can be distinguished according to different criteria. For the purposes of this Article, the form in which the aid is granted is of interest. If we look at the four State aid elements in the context of taxation, it can be seen that it is surprisingly easy for the tax measure to meet the criteria governing State aid. The granting of preferential tax regimes to individual undertakings does not constitute a real public resource, whether granted directly or not by the beneficiary. But the very fact that the state renounces a certain income is deprivation of a public resource that could be distributed and used, for example in a general way. The lack of a real transfer of funds from the State to the beneficiary does not mean that the tax concessions do not meet the criteria that a public support must meet in order to qualify as State aid.

Focus groups are appropriate method for studying the practices of preventing domestic violence at a regional level. The method provides a reflexive space for identification of collective insights in the course of group interactions and preservation and registration of the implicit individual preferences of participants in the group discussion. Focus groups are organized in order to study the relationships of the target groups with the institutions in Razgrad district and the extent of their involvement in the process of prevention of domestic violence. Sharing of own experiences and ideas and the interactive comparison of the viewpoints of the participants that arise during group interactions in thematic focus groups, provide a more complete picture of the phenomena studied. The dynamics of symbolic interactions and the social exchange of information in the group process of the focus group reveals additional, subdivided views on the content and validity of the empirical data collected by this method. The focus groups do not apply the survey-specific pressures for a structured response to the moderator’s questions, which allows a higher level of authentic sharing and understanding of the experiences, attitudes, practices and relationships presented.

Les émotions ou les affects, comme phénomène de la manifestation émotive ont un rôle important et ils influencent le fonctionnement des autres fonctions psychiques, ainsi que le système du comportement des individus dans les rela¬tions sociales et autres, et c'est particulièrement important pour la psychiatrie médico-légale.Dans la jurisprudence psychiatrique on rencontre souvent des émotions ou des affects et le plus souvent chez les cas â observer pour évaluer leur rasponsa- bilité dans les situations affectives quand il faut faire la différenciation des affects physiologiques de ceux pathologiques, chez les cas ou il faut définir de près une forte excitation lors de l'homocide ou lors d'un meutre quand la limite de la défense légitime est dépassée. L'évaluation de la responsibÛité des perso¬nnes dans les conditions de l'existance des situations particulièrement affectives que renferme l'article 12 de la Loi pénale de la RSFY, ne présentera pas un problème spécial pour les juristes et les psychiatres. Pourtant, l'évaluation de la responsabilité des autres personnes impose non seulement le besoin de différe¬nciation des affects physiologiques de ceux pathologiques, mais aussi une gra-duation de l'intensité des émotion affectives, puis, l'observation de la structure de la personalité. En principe les forts affects physiologiques compromettent le fonctionnement intellectuel et volontaire jusqu'au dégré de la responsabilité essentiellement réduite, tandis que l'affect pathologique amène jusqu'à l'ireespo- nsabilité totale ou la responsabilité essentiellement réduite.La présence d'une forte excitation comme phénomène dans le cadre de l'affect pathologique, observée de l'aspect médico-légal, disqualifie l'existence de l'homicide. À savoir, pour l'existence d'un homicide, outre autres éléments, une forte excitation est aussi nécessaire mais comme phénomène du cadre des affects physiologiques. Chez le meurtre par le dépassement de la défense légitime une forte excitation peut apparaître comme phénomène d'une manifestation émotive tant dans le domain des affects physiologiques que dans le cadre de l'affect pathologique.

The form of validity of the agricultural land lease contract defi ned in Art. 3, para. 1 is a written one with notarization of the parties’ signatures.

The article offers comparative analysis of legislation concerning the law applicable to testament in the different national legal systems. The comparative analysis points to conclusions about the advantages and disadvantages of particular legal solutions, and to recommendations concerning improvements in Bulgarian legislation. Legislative solutions over the past decades have been working towards the increased recognition of a given testament in a large number of states. An example of this is seen in the Hague Convention concerning the law applicable to the form of testamentary dispositions from 1961. Its Article One has been adopted by various national legislations, including the Bulgarian Code of International Private Law. Keeping the above- mentioned in mind, the author reaches the conclusion that the rules of the Bulgarian Code fully correspond to favor validitatis, the basic principle in modern International Private Law, and that for the time being there is no need to make amendments to the Bulgarian law.

Since the 19th century, German law has been a legal standard for the development of various institutions of Russian civil law, including one of the central civil institutions, i.e. the institution of legal transaction. The reform of civil legislation which is currently carried out in Russian is also based on the advanced experience of German law. This explains the need for a comparative legal analysis of the formal requirements of the Russian and German legal systems in relation to a legal transaction as a will expression. Legal transaction as a will expression can be represented in different forms: written or oral, implicative or notarial. The essential part of the analysis of formal requirements for legal transactions is a research into the legal consequences of non-compliance with these requirements.
