On September 28, 2022, the European Commission presented the long-awaited proposal for a revised Product Liability Directive (PLD). By adapting rules and concepts to digitalization and circular economy, the revised PLD aims to ensure that the damage that defective products caused can be remedied adequately. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the substantive and procedural harmonized rules that are reshaped in the revised PLD. The discussion shows that although the revised version makes progress, ambiguities remain about essential concepts such as ‘product’, ‘damage’, and ‘defectiveness’. Those ambiguities could generate significant legal uncertainties. In addition, it is imperative to consider whether the harmonization that results from the revised PLD strikes a balance between centralized policy goals and local preferences. Since it has been reiterated that the revised PLD will be limited to safety-related harm rather than to harm to other fundamental rights (e.g., data protection and equal treatment), it is also crucial to inquire whether harms of the latter kind can be remedied effectively by other relevant legal regimes.
2022年9月28日,欧盟委员会提交了期待已久的修订后的产品责任指令(PLD)提案。通过将规则和概念与数字化和循环经济相适应,修订后的PLD旨在确保缺陷产品造成的损害得到充分补救。本文全面分析了修订后的PLD中重塑的实体和程序协调规则。讨论表明,虽然修订后的版本取得了进展,但在“产品”、“损害”和“缺陷”等基本概念上仍然存在歧义。这些含糊不清可能会产生重大的法律不确定性。此外,必须考虑修订后的PLD所产生的协调是否在中央政策目标和地方偏好之间取得了平衡。既然已重申修订后的《个人资料私隐条例》将只限于与安全有关的损害,而非对其他基本权利(例如保障资料和平等待遇)的损害,因此亦有必要探讨其他相关法律制度能否有效补救后一种损害。

Bridging the gap between corporate sustainability due diligence and EU public procurement 缩小企业可持续性尽职调查与欧盟公共采购之间的差距

The link between human rights and environmental due diligence and public procurement has been recognized in soft law, and in a less consistent way in EU hard law. Particularly, it has been an issue of concern in the law-making process for the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive. Despite increasing attention, considerable debate remains over the inclusion of human rights and environmental due diligence in public procurement, which is still an underdeveloped topic. This article contributes to enlightening the debate and filling this gap by exploring the link between human rights and environmental due diligence and public procurement, then by analysing whether and how human rights and environmental due diligence can be incorporated into EU public procurement as a contract performance condition and comply with the requirement of the link to the subject matter of the contract.
人权和环境尽职调查与公共采购之间的联系已在软性法律中得到承认,而在欧盟硬性 法律中则不那么一致。特别是在欧盟《企业可持续性尽职调查指令》的法律制定过程中,这一直是一个备受关注的问题。尽管受到越来越多的关注,但关于在公共采购中纳入人权和环境尽职调查的争论仍然相当激烈,这仍然是一个发展不足的话题。本文探讨了人权和环境尽职调查与公共采购之间的联系,然后分析了人权和环境尽职调查是否以及如何作为合同履行条件纳入欧盟公共采购,并符合与合同标的相关联的要求,从而有助于启发辩论和填补这一空白。

Patent law in comparative context: Differences and similarities of patent law in he European Union, the United States and China 比较语境下的专利法:欧盟、美国和中国专利法的异同
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-10-25 DOI: 10.1177/1023263x231206007

This study presents the main features of patent law in the European Union, the United States and China, with a special focus on patentability. Each patent regime is reviewed in its historical context, exploring the stages leading to the given jurisdiction's contemporary patent law. After mapping the differences and similarities of patent law in the EU, the US and China, possible reasons for the detected divergence and convergence will be explored. This study reveals that the differences in codified patent law between the EU, the US, and China are for the most part a matter of nuance and much of the convergence stems from international harmonization efforts and common historical roots as well as external pressure to convergence in patent law for mainly economic reasons. Whereas patent laws in the EU and US are more established, China's patent law has been moulded into its contemporary form only recently. Differences across the chosen jurisdictions are explained not only by cultural factors but also by underlying theoretical differences in patent doctrine and differing aims of patent protection, as well as the divide concerning the role of statutory law and case law between the common law and Romano-Germanic law.
本研究介绍了欧盟、美国和中国专利法的主要特征,并特别关注可专利性。每个专利制度在其历史背景下进行审查,探索导致给定司法管辖区的当代专利法的阶段。在绘制了欧盟、美国和中国专利法的异同之后,我们将探讨这些差异和趋同的可能原因。本研究表明,欧盟、美国和中国在专利法编纂方面的差异在很大程度上是细微差别,许多趋同源于国际协调努力和共同的历史根源,以及主要出于经济原因的专利法趋同的外部压力。欧盟和美国的专利法更为成熟,而中国的专利法直到最近才形成现代形式。所选择的司法管辖区之间的差异不仅可以通过文化因素来解释,还可以通过专利学说的潜在理论差异和专利保护目标的不同来解释,以及在普通法和罗马-日耳曼法之间关于成文法和判例法作用的分歧来解释。

Compensation for non-material damage under Article 82 GDPR: A review of Case C-300/21 GDPR第82条规定的非实质性损害赔偿:案例C-300/21的回顾
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-10-25 DOI: 10.1177/1023263x231208835
Shu Li
The Court of Justice of the European Union delivered a decision in Case C-300/21 to address three questions on how to compensate a data subject for the non-material damage suffered from a violation of GDPR provisions. First, infringement by itself does not give rise to compensation. Actual damage must be demonstrated by the data subject. Second, the right to compensation is not limited to non-material damage that reaches a certain threshold of seriousness. Third, since the GDPR does not provide an explicit guideline for assessing damages, it falls to Member States to establish such a criterion. The criterion, nevertheless, must comply with the principle of equivalence and effectiveness. The judgment, together with the Advocate General's opinion, touches upon several fundamental issues at the intersection of risk, harm and tort damage.
欧盟法院在案例C-300/21中作出了一项裁决,解决了关于如何赔偿数据主体因违反GDPR规定而遭受的非实质性损害的三个问题。首先,侵权本身不会引起赔偿。资料当事人必须证明实际损害。第二,受偿权不限于非物质损害达到一定程度的严重程度。第三,由于GDPR没有为评估损害提供明确的指导方针,因此建立这样一个标准就落在了成员国身上。然而,该标准必须符合等效性和有效性原则。该判决与总检察长的意见一起,涉及风险、损害和侵权损害交叉的几个基本问题。

The principle of mutual trust and the protection of fundamental rights in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice: A critical look at the Court of Justice's stone-by-stone approach 在自由、安全和正义领域相互信任和保护基本权利的原则:对法院的一石一石做法的批判

The principle of mutual trust has become a structural principle of EU law that underpins many rules of primary law as well as secondary legislation both in the field of internal market and in that of the area, of freedom, security and justice. Several questions in relation to this principle have had to be settled by the Court of Justice, particularly, with regard to the risks that it can pose for the protection of, fundamental rights in the area of freedom, security and justice. In this regard, the Court of Justice adopted a ‘stone-by-stone approach’, by progressively specifying the limits framing the principle of mutual trust on the basis of the specific cases it had to handle. Building on recent the case law, this paper offers a critical, examination of the balance struck by the Court of Justice between the, principle of mutual trust and the protection of fundamental rights.
相互信任原则已成为欧盟法律的一项结构性原则,在内部市场和自由、安全和正义领域支撑着许多初级法和次级法的规则。与这一原则有关的几个问题必须由法院解决,特别是关于它可能对保护自由、安全和正义领域的基本权利构成的危险。在这方面,法院采取了一种“循序渐进的方法”,根据它必须处理的具体案件,逐步明确构成相互信任原则的限制。本文以最近的判例法为基础,对法院在相互信任原则和保护基本权利之间取得的平衡进行了批判性的审查。

HYA and Others: Reshaping participation at criminal trials in Europe HYA和其他:重塑欧洲刑事审判的参与
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-10-12 DOI: 10.1177/1023263x231205829
Lorenzo Bernardini, Gaetano Ancona
The recent decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union in HYA and Others has a significant impact on the use of untested witness statements in criminal proceedings. The case concerned the right to examine witnesses, which is protected under 6(3)(d) of the European Convention on Human Rights. The CJEU established a three-step test to determine whether the use of untested evidence violates the right to a fair trial and ruled out the use of ‘sole or decisive’ untested evidence in criminal proceedings. The Court also held that the right to examine witnesses is a fundamental right in criminal proceedings and falls within the scope of Article 8(1) of Directive 2016/343. The HYA and Others judgment sets a higher standard than that guaranteed by the ECtHR, preventing the use of sole or decisive witnesses in reaching a final conviction decision. Finally, the judgment extends the scope of defence rights in EU law and enhances the effectiveness of fundamental rights in criminal proceedings.
欧洲联盟法院最近在HYA和其他案件中作出的决定对在刑事诉讼中使用未经检验的证人陈述产生了重大影响。该案涉及讯问证人的权利,这项权利受到《欧洲人权公约》第6(3)(d)项的保护。欧洲法院建立了一个三步检验标准,以确定使用未经检验的证据是否侵犯了公平审判权,并排除了在刑事诉讼中使用“唯一或决定性的”未经检验的证据。法院还认为,询问证人的权利是刑事诉讼中的一项基本权利,属于2016/343号指令第8(1)条的范围。HYA和其他人的判决设定了比欧洲人权法院所保证的更高的标准,防止在作出最终定罪决定时使用唯一或决定性证人。最后,该判决扩大了欧盟法律中辩护权的范围,提高了刑事诉讼中基本权利的有效性。

Increasing gender equality on board level through stay-on-board regulations 通过留职规定提高船上的性别平等
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-10-09 DOI: 10.1177/1023263x231205830
Brigitte Steinbauer
Diversity and gender equality in executive boards, as well as finding ways to balance private needs and business requirements, are topics that are on the agenda of legislators around the globe. Given the significant role of executive board members in shaping organizational strategy and culture and for the company’s success, understanding the impact of rules that allow a mandate pause for this group is essential. The German ‘stay-on-board’ rules grant a mandate pause to board members for maternity, parental or care leave or for a board member's convalescence since August 2021. The objective of this paper is to examine the necessity for a legal framework on the European Union level that provides for a mandate pause for board members as a way to increase gender equality on the board level. The author recommends closing the gap in gender equality on the board level at European level by adopting comparable measures to those implemented in Germany, supplemented by additional measures. The implementation of a comprehensive set of measures, in conjunction with widespread acceptance in society, is crucial for the advancement of gender equality within corporate boardrooms.
执行董事会的多样性和性别平等,以及寻找平衡私人需求和商业需求的方法,都是全球立法者议程上的主题。考虑到执行董事会成员在塑造组织战略和文化以及公司成功方面的重要作用,理解允许暂停授权的规则对这一群体的影响至关重要。根据德国的“留任”规定,自2021年8月起,董事会成员可因产假、育儿假或护理假或休养而暂停任职。本文的目的是研究在欧盟层面建立一个法律框架的必要性,该框架规定董事会成员的任务暂停,以此作为在董事会层面增加性别平等的一种方式。作者建议,通过采取与德国实施的措施相媲美的措施,并辅以其他措施,缩小欧洲董事会层面的性别平等差距。执行一套全面的措施并得到社会的广泛接受,对于促进公司董事会内的性别平等是至关重要的。

Meta platforms: How the CJEU leaves competition and data protection authorities with an assignment 元平台:欧洲法院如何将竞争和数据保护机构留给任务
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-10-09 DOI: 10.1177/1023263x231205836
Inge Graef
Competition authorities can identify a violation of the data protection rules when such a finding is necessary to establish an abuse of dominance under the competition rules. This is the main outcome of the judgment that the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) delivered in Meta Platforms on 4 July 2023. The judgment is the next step in the saga that started with the 2019 competition decision of the Bundeskartellamt (the German Federal Cartel Office) requiring Facebook (now Meta) to refrain from combining user data from different sources beyond its social network. The judgment provides a welcome confirmation that data protection standards can also matter for the interpretation of the competition rules. However, what is more remarkable and less expected is the general framework the CJEU sets out for coordination between competition and data protection authorities building on the duty of sincere cooperation and the clarity with which it evaluates the different legal bases Meta invoked for processing user data. The judgment can become a reference point for assessing the legality of personal data processing by powerful firms, but also leaves competition and data protection authorities with an assignment to explore how to coordinate their work in the future.
竞争管理机构可以识别违反数据保护规则的行为,如果这种发现是根据竞争规则建立滥用支配地位的必要条件。这是欧盟法院(CJEU)于2023年7月4日在Meta平台案中做出的判决的主要结果。这一判决是2019年德国联邦卡特尔局(Bundeskartellamt)要求Facebook(现在的Meta)不要将其社交网络以外的不同来源的用户数据合并在一起的决定的下一步。该判决提供了一个令人欢迎的确认,即数据保护标准也可以影响对竞争规则的解释。然而,更值得注意和更令人意想不到的是,欧洲法院为竞争和数据保护当局之间的协调制定了总体框架,该框架建立在真诚合作的义务和评估Meta在处理用户数据时援引的不同法律依据的明确性之上。该判决可以成为评估强大公司处理个人数据合法性的参考点,但也给竞争和数据保护机构留下了一项任务,即探索如何在未来协调他们的工作。

The European Union and global warming: A fundamental right to (live in) a sustainable climate? 欧盟与全球变暖:可持续气候的基本权利?
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-10-09 DOI: 10.1177/1023263x231202481
Ottavio Quirico
Multiple developments are taking place in the European Union (EU) as concerns climate action through fundamental rights. On the one hand, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) might afford protection from climate change via first- and second-generation human rights; on the other, the EU is progressively recognizing the human right to a sustainable environment, and possibly to a sustainable climate, via Article 37 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights. These developments are nonetheless restrained by the limited possibility for individual natural and legal persons to act in the Court. On the other hand, EU Member States are parties to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), to which the EU will also foreseeably accede in the future and through which a string of claims has been brought to the attention of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). Also in this context, protection from climate change might be afforded via first- and second-generation fundamental rights, and possibly via the third-generation right to a sustainable environment and climate. Contrary to the CJEU system, however, there are no procedural limits to action by individual natural and legal persons in the ECtHR. The article argues that an extensive interpretation of first- and second-generation human rights, particularly the rights to life and to private and family life under ECHR articles 2 and 8, collectively interpreted as the rights to live in a sustainable environment and climate in line with the jurisprudence of the ECtHR, reverses the burden of proof and is essentially tantamount to acknowledging an independent fundamental right to a sustainable environment and climate, thus ensuring adequate climate protection in the EU from a human rights perspective.
欧盟(EU)在通过基本权利采取气候行动方面正在发生多种事态发展。一方面,欧洲联盟法院(CJEU)可以通过第一代和第二代人权保护气候变化;另一方面,欧盟正逐步通过《基本权利宪章》第37条承认享有可持续环境的人权,甚至可能是享有可持续气候的人权。然而,这些事态发展由于自然人和法人个人在法院采取行动的可能性有限而受到限制。另一方面,欧盟成员国是《欧洲人权公约》(ECHR)的缔约国,欧盟也将在未来加入该公约,通过该公约,一系列索赔已提请欧洲人权法院(ECtHR)注意。同样在这方面,可以通过第一代和第二代基本权利,并可能通过第三代享有可持续环境和气候的权利,提供对气候变化的保护。然而,与欧洲法院的制度相反,欧洲人权法院对自然人和法人的诉讼没有程序限制。文章认为,对第一代和第二代人权的广泛解释,特别是《欧洲人权公约》第2条和第8条下的生命权、私人和家庭生活权,集体解释为符合欧洲人权法院判例的在可持续环境和气候中生活的权利,颠倒了举证责任,基本上等于承认了一项独立的可持续环境和气候基本权利。从而从人权的角度确保欧盟有足够的气候保护。
