Rozstrzyganie sporów cywilnoprawnych w drodze decyzji administracyjnej przez Prezesa Urzędu Regulacji Energetyki

Author(s): Angelika Kurzawa / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2017

The purpose of this article is to present the process of resolving civil-law disputes by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office by means of an administrative decision under the Energy Law Act. In accordance with the provisions of Article 8(1) of the Energy Law Act, the President of the Energy Regulatory Office is authorised to resolve disputes referred to in that provision which inherently belong to matters of civil law. Pursuant to Article 2(1) of the Code of Civil Procedure, civil matters are heard by common courts of law, except for those delegated to other bodies in special provisions referred to in Article 2(2). An example of such a special provision is Article 8 of the Energy Law Act, which excludes the admissibility of court proceedings in certain disputes to be resolved by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office. The cases of disputes referred to in Article 8 of the Energy Law Act involve on the one hand a strictly civil law dispute and on the other a public authority (central government authority) which is to settle this dispute in a manner appropriate for it using its powers and non-equivalence of entities. Consequently, the civil-legal relationship characterised by voluntariness and equivalence of entities is shaped imperatively and unilaterally by a public authority by means of the administrative decision.

SUVREMENI PROCESI STVARANJA JAVNIH POLITIKA: KAKO ISTRAŽIVATI TRANSFER?

Author(s): Marjeta Šinko / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 01/2018

From the second half of the twentieth century policy scholars are increasingly devoting their attention to the transference of policy from one political jurisdiction to another. Concepts such as policy diffusion, convergence and transfer are being used to elucidate the modern-day policy process. Policy transfer, the youngest of these approaches, has been gaining momentum from the second half of the nineties and has grown into a respectable, widely cited and used research frame. This article is a historical account of policy transfer research. In addition to examining the evolution of similar approaches (diffusion, convergence, and transfer), the original systematization and demarcation of different studies is offered. The paper concludes with the insight that policy transfer studies are distinctive in relation to convergence and diffusion studies. They are characterized by an analytical focus on processes, on understanding of policy actors’ actions, on qualitative methodology, and using small samples. The paper concludes that policy transfer studies are an excellent heuristic tool because they enable a multidimensional research of the policy process.

Organizacioni i funkcionalni aspekti reforme javne uprave u procesu integriranja u evropski administrativni prostor

Author(s): Merima Tanović / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 4/2017

Public Administration Reform, as the ultimate instrument that addresses the rights, freedoms, powers and obligations of citizens, a modern state sends a message to the citizen about the level of social responsibility for the improvement of the domain of government that represents “the mirror” of the level of legal and political stability. Multiple organisational, functional, economic, personnel-related, technical issues of public administration require systematic and thorough reform that would result in the enhancement of the principles of public administration as well as the creation of a modern, democratic, “Europe-ised” image of the state administration. Public administration is not a pure technical body, but a mechanism whose function depends on the basic factor of the work process – human resources, which develop or obstruct the process of good public administration. Thus, civil service development and reform are another aspect of overall improvement of public administration and require a long-lasting and continuous approach to the modification of culture and methods in conducting public affairs.

PAPERS, MY FRIEND, ARE BLOWING IN THE WIND: TOWARDS A PAPERLESS ADMINISTRATION

Author(s): Fernanda Paula Oliveira,Carla Machado / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2018

We are witnessing in Portugal an intense movement of dematerialization of files and administrative procedures. Of files, because Public Administration has been moving towards the promotion and effective implementation of documentary registers and their availability in electronic support to the detriment of the usual registration on physical paper support. Of procedures, since the procedural electronic process has been privileged in relation to the face-to-face contact during the office hours previously established by the services. We have thus passed from a model based on the ancient bureaucratic requirements to a Public Administration able to adapt to the new technological realities and the challenges of e-government. Today, the contact between the citizen and the Public Administration is, as often referred, "at the distance of a click", without any time constraints or imposition of unnecessary bureaucratic requirements. Therefore, we have today a Public Administration that tends to be more effective and more efficient, that, as a tendency, does not require more than it needs, being the tributary of a model of "intermittent administration". With this article, we intend to highlight some characteristics of 21st century public administration: a Public Administration that is intended to be closer to the citizen.

SPECIAL ATTRIBUTIONS AND DEONTOLOGICAL RULES OF REGISTRARS’ PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY REGARDING MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE

Author(s): Ştefania Cristina Mirică,Andreea Elena Matic / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2018

The Registrar is a civil servant with special atributions regarding marriage and divorce. In Romania the registrars’ activity is established by Law no 119/1996 regarding the civil status documents with subsequent modifications and additions, Law no 189/1999 regarding the civil servant status with subsequent modifications and additions, the Civil Code, internal regulations of City Hall or Civil Status Service etc. In the present paper we aim to analyze the specific competences and deontological norms applicable to registrars in Romania on the occasion of marriage and the divorce by administrative procedure. If marriage procedure is an old, traditional attribution of registrars, its dissolution – the divorce through administrative procedure is a novelty as it has been recently established by our legislation. In our opinion the registrar’s activity regarding marriage and divorce has a special social importance due to the effects and implications of these events in the lives of the beneficiaries. There for, we consider that the main aspects of these attributions include not only the verification of the procedure and of the supporting documents submitted, but also the communication of the values and respect for family life to the persons involved.

The study aims to support the opinion that the Ombudsman's request is unfounded and should be rejected by the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Bulgaria.
