Zborník príspevkov z IX. ročníka študentského Sympózia z medzinárodného a európskeho práva konaného dňa 22. apríla 2016 na pôde Právnickej fakulty Univerzity P. J. Šafárika v Košiciach

Ako vyplýva zo samotného názvu IX. ročníka študentského sympózia z medzinárodného a európskeho práva: „Aktuálne otázky migrácie z pohľadu medzinárodného práva s osobitným zreteľom na Chartu základných práv Európskej únie“, jeho účastníci sa zamerali na mimoriadne aktuálnu tému európskej migrácie, ktorú skúmali z rôznych aspektov ako medzinárodného, tak aj úniového práva (celkom 9 príspevkov).

Pri posudzovaní úlohy jednotlivých aktérov podieľajúcich sa hlavnou mierou na riešení problémov vznikajúcich v dôsledku migrácie do Európy bola zdôraznená predovšetkým úloha medzinárodných špecializovaných organizácií, ktoré často priamo v „teréne“ pomáhajú migrantom s ich neľahkým údelom prostredníctvom humanitárnej, prípadne lekárskej pomoci. Táto však netvorí jedinú reagenciu medzinárodného spoločenstva, nakoľko ju dotvára ako činnosť dotknutých štátov, tak aj rôznych nevládnych organizácií a dobrovoľníkov.

V súvislosti s hodnotením činnosti Európskej únie sa účastníci sympózia zhodli na tom, že masová migračná vlna ju zasiahla pomerne nepripravenú a to ako po inštitucionálnej, legislatívnej a technickej stránke sprevádzanej neujasnenosťou v zaujatí základného prístupu k tejto skutočnosti. Bolo tiež zdôraznené, že k týmto pochybeniam došlo napriek tomu, že vývoj v predošlom období jasne signalizoval možnosť prerastania postupnej migrácie do Európskej únie do masovej podoby. Dodatočné ex post a niekedy aj oneskorené opatrenia prijímané ako reakcia na už prebiehajúci migračný proces podľa názoru účastníkov sympózia prispeli k celkovému zvýšeniu politického napätia v EÚ a rozdelili jej členské štáty do protikladných táborov.

V rámci analýzy legislatívnych nástrojov EÚ na regulovanie migrácie bola detailnejšia pozornosť venovaná tzv. nariadeniu Dublin III, ako aj vplyvu Charty základných práv Európskej únie na spoločný azylový systém (vo svetle vybraných rozhodnutí Európskeho súdneho dvora).

Účastníci sympózia sa tiež oboznámili so základnými zásadami migračnej politiky Austrálie, ktorá v súčasnosti predstavuje celkovo úspešný model riešenia hromadnej migrácie. V rámci diskusie účastníci došli k spoločnému názoru, že austrálsky migračný model môže predstavovať určitú „inšpiráciu“ aj pre Európu a to najmä vo včasnej reagencii na migračné toky aj prostredníctvom osobitných dohovorov Úvodom 9 o spolupráci s krajinami, odkiaľ migranti prichádzajú, ako aj v určitej „flexibilite“ azylového systému. Táto sa môže prejaviť v zavedení dočasného azylového režimu pre azylantov (napríklad 2-3 roky) sprevádzaného monitoringom politickej a bezpečnostnej situácie v jeho domovskom štáte. V prípade, že sa situácia v tomto štáte upokojí azylantovi nebude predĺžený poskytnutý azyl a umožní sa mu odchod do domovského štátu.

The International Scientific Conference on the topic Condition and perspectives of public finances in the EU was held 2nd – 3rd June 2022in Košice focused on the topics of the EU Budget and Real Estate in taxation. On this occasion, a student symposium on the topic: "Condition and perspectives of financial law and tax law" was organized for students of the Pavol Jozef Šafárik University Faculty of Law in Košice on 1st June 2022. The focus of the symposium was chosen due to the content of the grant project VEGA no. 1/0485/21: „Simultaneity and possibilities of reforming the system of own resources of the EU budget (legal and economic aspects also in the context of the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic)“, of the grant project VEGA no. 1/0214/21: „Taxation of real property – legal status and potential“ and of the grant project APVV-19-0124 entitled "Tax law and new phenomena in the economy (digital services, shared economy, virtual currencies)", which are currently being addressed at the Department of Financial Law, Tax Law and Economy, Faculty of Law, Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice.

The output of this symposium is a reviewed proceeding of papers, in which students focus on examining the current challenges of financial law and tax law. In this context, students examine not only the issue of current challenges in the field of real estate tax and the introduction of taxation based on their market value of real estate and the institute of remedies in tax procedural law, but also the current issue of EU budget law with a focus on the revenue side of the EU budget.

The authors also assess in detail the current situation in the research area, and they also present de lege ferenda proposals that could contribute to the development and improvement of several aspects of taxation, which is a benefit not only for legal science but also for application practice.

Collection of scientific works

The year 2020 has been marked globally by an unprecedented situation related to the spread of Covid-19 since its beginning. At the start of this calendar year, as our organizational team began preparing for another edition, we still hoped that our traditional autumn conference was far away, and in this maximum optimism, we launched the organization of the jubilee 10th edition of our now-traditional conference. This conference has become a stable part of scientific and professional conference events under domestic conditions and has become a stable part of many people's work programs. However, 2020 was almost entirely filled with restrictions from its start, with these restrictions affecting even the organization of conferences. Our 10th Law – Business – Economy Conference fell victim to this current situation and had to be canceled "with gritted teeth." The situation allows us nothing but hope that in 2021 we will be able to meet at our traditional location in High Tatras. We take these meetings for granted; if this situation is good for nothing else, it at least serves as a slowdown and an awareness of our own vulnerability.

See you at the next edition of Law-Business-Economics in October 2021.

You are receiving a collection of scientific papers published in connection with the resolution of scientific projects at the Department of Commercial Law and Economic Law as the main organizer of the scientific conference, as well as other departments of the Faculty of Law at UPJŠ in Košice, and many academic workplaces both domestically and abroad. The collection is published with support from the Agency for Support of Research and Development. The editors thank all who contributed to it with their scientific articles, as well as reviewers for their valuable comments and recommendations.

On behalf of the editors: Regina Hučková

This monograph examines when the state has the right to intervene in the legal relationship between contracting parties, and if it is possible, when it can act as a legislator and/or a law applier and what the nature of the intervention may be. In this study, the limits related to the rights and obligations of the parties are scrutinized. The monograph delineates the theoretical frameworks of state intervention. The author distinguishes the forms of intervention concerning future contracts and those already concluded. The study lists the circumstances grounding the mandatory norms concerning future contracts with the presentation of Roman law. In the context of state influence on the content of contracts already concluded, judicial decisions play a stronger role than legislation and government measures also appear. The monograph presents the legislative measures affecting the contracts already concluded and the reasons thereof in a differentiated way, divided into different periods. In the author's view, World War I and especially the subsequent Treaty of Trianon brought a significant change in the assessment of state intervention, and therefore, he devotes special attention to the examination of this period. The monograph provides an outline of overview of the international tendencies of the period from the peace treaty to the present day. The study presents the era of Hungarian legislation being prone to make mandatory rules and delineates the relevant provisions of the applicable Hungarian law. At the end of the monograph the reader can find the author’s evaluative comments. While acknowledging the positive aspects of state involvement, attention should also be paid to the dangers of excessive state intervention in Eastern Europe.

Predkladaná vedecká monografia sa zaoberá problematikou Rule of Law a jeho miestom, úlohami a osobitosťami na úrovni medzinárodného práva.Predkladaná vedecká monografia sa zaoberá problematikou Rule of Law a jeho miestom, úlohami a osobitosťami na úrovni medzinárodného práva. Law ako hodnote, ktorá by mala vládnuť v jednotlivých spoločenstvách, vnútroštátnych i medzinárodných. Rule of Law je tak prirovnávané k základnej norme Kelsena, ktorá by mala stáť na vrchole právneho poriadku ako norma zdôvodňujúca platnosť a existenciu noriem právneho poriadku, vnútroštátneho i medzinárodného.
Hoci je predmetom skúmania Rule of Law na úrovni medzinárodného práva, nemôžeme o ňom uvažovať bez toho, aby sme pochopili Rule of Law vo vnútroštátnom práve. Podobne ako sa líši vývoj Rule of Law v závislosti od toho, či sa rozvíjalo v anglo-americkom alebo kontinentálnom práve, líši sa i jeho aplikácia a rozvoj na úrovni vnútroštátneho práva a medzinárodného práva. Odlišnosti spôsobujú najmä úlohy a ciele, ktoré má medzinárodné Rule of Law zabezpečiť, no i odlišné vlastnosti vnútroštátneho a medzinárodného práva.

Študentské sympózium je pravidelne poriadané Ústavom medzinárodného práva a európskeho práva a v roku 2017 je konané už jubilejná desiata edícia študentského sympózia, ktoré postupom času záber záujmu rozšírilo aj do oblasti európskeho práva. S tradíciou konania študentských sympózií je spojený aj dobrý zvyk prípravy zborníka príspevkov z každého podujatia. Desiaty ročník pochopiteľne nie je výnimkou a tak sa čitateľom dostáva „do rúk“ desiata edícia zborníka príspevkov študentského sympózia. Po minulé roky bolo sympózium vždy zamerané na konkrétnu oblasť právnej úpravy medzinárodného a európskeho práva. Tak sa predmetom skúmania účastníkov sympózií stali otázky migrácie (2016), ochrany kultúrnych hodnôt (2015) alebo problematike kyberpriestoru (2013). Tento rok sa vzhľadom na to, že ide o jubilejný desiaty ročník organizátori sympózia poňať zameranie sympózia prierezovo a pripomenúť si niektoré významné míľniky vývoja medzinárodného práva, ktoré sa udiali v rokoch ukončených číslom sedem.

Zborník príspevkov z vedeckej konferencie konanej dňa 28.6.2016 na Právnickej fakulte Univerzity Pavla Jozefa Šafárika v Košiciach v súvislosti s riešením projektu Európska únia a jej vplyv na organizáciu a fungovanie verejnej správy v Slovenskej republike - schválený pod číslom MVZP – SK PRES/2016/134

Slovenská republika, ako členský štát Európskej únie, sa zhosťuje  historickej úlohy súvisiacej s realizáciou predsedníctva Rady Európskej únie v rámci predsedníckeho tria. Začiatkom roka 2016 vyhlásilo Ministerstvo zahraničných vecí a európskych záležitostí Slovenskej republiky Výzvu na predkladanie žiadostí o dotáciu na rok 2016 v oblasti medzinárodných vzťahov a zahraničnej politiky SR zameranú práve na predsedníctvo Slovenskej republiky v Rade Európskej Únie. Na túto výzvu zareagovala Právnická fakulta Univerzity Pavla Jozefa Šafárika v Košiciach a získala projekt pre realizáciu výskumných aktivít prostredníctvom série podujatí zameraných na regionálnu samosprávu Slovenskej republiky v súvislosti s jej pôsobením v rámci Európskej únie. Problematike práva Európskej únie sa fakulta venuje dlhodobo jednak v pedagogickom procese, no i vo vedeckovýskumnej činnosti jednotlivých pedagógov. Riešený projekt má ambíciu obohatiť toto portfólio o osobitné aktivity zamerané nielen na odbornú sféru, no i na samotných študentov a laickú verejnosť.

Ako prvá aktivita projektu bola realizovaná  konferencia s názvom „Európska únia a jej vplyv na organizáciu a fungovanie verejnej správy v Slovenskej republike – doterajší vývoj a aktuálny stav, perspektívy“. Zúčastnili sa jej pozvaní verejní činitelia, zástupcovia akademickej sféry, no i predstavitelia samosprávy, nakoľko jedným z hlavných cieľov projektu je prepojiť akademickú obec so sférou praktickou a zapojiť tak predstaviteľov praxe do plánovaných aktivít v rámci riešenia projektu.

The monograph deals with two fundamental aspects concerning evaluation of evidence in the law. In the first part, the monograph addresses the question: „How it is possible to apply law in individual case, if human knowledge about past is objectively limited and flawed?“ (e.g. what is the nature of truth in the law?). The second part of the monograph identifies certain models of reasoning concerning factual questions which occur across different individual legal cases (especially tax cases and criminal cases). In that regard, the monograph draws from Anglo-American legal scholarship and deals with three main concepts concerning evaluation of evidence: argumentation, probability and narratives and their role in evaluation of evidence.

The monograph is the output of the grant project APVV no. 16-0160 which deals with the issue of tax evasion and tax avoidance (especially their motivating factors, emergence, and elimination). The author believes that better understanding of evaluation of evidence may contribute to the improvement in effectiveness of tax administration.

Proceedings of the International Scientific Conference on EU Funds Law in Theory and Practice held on October 3, 2019, in Košice.

The conference was attended by representatives from the academic sphere, educators from the Faculty of Law at UPJŠ in Košice, who created the subject and continue to participate in its teaching. The participants included professionals from practice, such as those from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister of the Slovak Republic for Investments and Informatization, the Office for Public Procurement of the Slovak Republic, the Supreme Audit Office of the Slovak Republic, and the Ministry of Labor, Social Affairs, and Family of the Slovak Republic. Valuable information was also shared at the conference by representatives from the Ministry of Regional Development of the Czech Republic, OECD representatives, and representatives from the European Commission's Representation in Slovakia. The presented contributions reflected current issues in a highly professional manner, identified problematic areas, and outlined suitable solutions for contentious issues.

From the individual presentations of the conference participants, it was possible to compile a work that, while not extensive in scope, is very remarkable in value. It connects theory and practice in an outstanding manner and thus expands knowledge in the still complex issue of the legal regulation of European Union funds.

The present monograph "Regionalism and its Contribution to General International Law" was written at the Institute of European Law and Department of International Law, Faculty of Law, Pavol Jozef Safarik University in Kosice, as a part of the project (APVV-O823-11) carried out in 2011-2015, representing one of its final publication utputs. 

The main reason for choosing the topic was to evaluate regionalism in its various relationships and forms with respect to international law, and also to evaluate the place,importance and duties of international law in respect to the establishment and functioning of various forms of regionalgroups.

It is a fact that even though a lot of attention has been paid to regionalism, a more complex evaluation of the impact it has had on international law, and vice versa, is still lacking. The efforts of the present monograph are to partially eliminate this gap.

After giving a brief insight into how regionalism has developed, its content and terminology, the monograph studies in more details individual types of regionalism in the form of old and new regionalism, as well as treaty and institutional regionalism; its specifications and contributions to the international law.
