Presentation by Reka Somssich, Hungary, on the Sources of the EU Law and decision making institutional framework in the EU, given at the workshop organised by SIGMA with the Turkish Ministry for EU Affairs on the Transposition of EU legislation into the legal system of Turkey, Ankara 24-25 May 2016.
The document discusses database security from a DBA's perspective. It argues that DBAs should not be considered the weakest link in security and outlines steps they can take to strengthen security, such as implementing threat models. Threat models involve analyzing potential attacks, recovery options, and security measures based on real risks. The document advocates for DBAs to take a holistic, security-minded approach through ongoing learning, preparedness, and cooperation with others.
This document summarizes the key points from a presentation on European Union tax directives and their implications. It discusses:
1. The history of the EU including major treaties that established the single market and objectives around tax harmonization.
2. Key EU directives like the Parent-Subsidiary Directive and Merger Directive that provide exemptions from withholding taxes on certain intra-EU payments to reduce double taxation.
3. How these directives impact companies through changes required in national legislation and potential tax planning opportunities they enable for multinational groups.
The document provides an overview of regulatory affairs as a career. It discusses why regulatory is an important and impactful field, the types of work involved including advising companies on regulations and preparing submissions. It outlines the growth potential within regulatory affairs and necessary skills such as being analytical and having strong writing abilities. The document also discusses where to learn about regulations from sources like the FDA and how to continue self-educating through networking and online courses.
The trESS network was established in 2005 to coordinate social security schemes in the EU, EEA, and Switzerland. It aims to increase knowledge of coordination regulations, build networks of professionals, report on implementation of EU regulations, and provide analytical support to the European Commission. Main activities include specialized training seminars, information sharing through its website and newsletters, and reporting on implementation in 32 countries through annual European Reports.
This document contains several case studies related to determining the applicable social security legislation for individuals in different cross-border situations between EU member states. The cases involve issues such as determining the applicable legislation for self-employed individuals working in multiple countries, employees of transport companies working in several countries, and situations involving periods of work, residence, and social security contributions across borders.

2010 - Modernised EU Social Security Coordination and Old-Age PensionstrESS Network
The document summarizes key aspects of modernized EU social security coordination and old-age pensions regulations. It discusses (1) the context and basic principles of social security coordination, including equality of treatment and aggregation of periods; (2) over 50 years of coordination regulations; (3) two new regulations from 2004 and 2009 that were updated, simplified, and clarified; and (4) core principles of modernization including strengthened institutional procedures and enhanced cooperation between member states.
2010 - Advising Individuals on Their Rights in EuropetrESS Network
The AIRE Centre promotes awareness of European law rights and assists vulnerable individuals in asserting those rights. It litigates before the European Court of Human Rights, provides legal advice to migrants on their EU rights, and conducts trainings. One project focuses on fighting social exclusion of EU migrants of minority ethnicity in the UK. The AIRE Centre has advised 198 individuals, addressing issues like benefits access, NHS care, trafficking, and deportation of prisoners. Two issues under Regulation 883/04 discussed are theoretical and practical access to NHS care and access to special non-contributory benefits.
The document summarizes CPAG's activities over the past year, focusing on issues related to interpreting and applying EU law in the UK social security system. Key issues discussed include delays and uncertainty in exporting disability benefits to other EU countries, difficulties with the UK's right to reside test, and lack of advice available on coordination rules. CPAG provides legal support for test cases aimed at clarifying rights under EU law. Looking forward, there is cautious optimism that new caselaw and regulations may help address some problems, but significant concerns remain regarding support for pregnant women under EU law.
The document discusses the UK's implementation of the Electronic Exchange of Social Security Information (EESSI) system. EESSI will allow the electronic exchange of social security data between EU member states. The UK project has three tiers: 1) the EU-wide EESSI infrastructure, 2) the UK National Access Point, and 3) interfaces with individual UK department systems. Progress is being made towards developing the UK National Access Point and integrating department systems by the April 2012 deadline.
2010 - National trESS Seminar - Case studiestrESS Network
This document discusses three case studies related to determining applicable legislation and eligibility for social security benefits across the European Union:
1. A case involving a self-employed individual residing in Sweden who works in the management of companies in the US, Sweden, and Finland.
2. A transportation company driver who lives in Denmark but transports goods between Germany, Poland, and occasionally Denmark.
3. A self-employed architect residing in Sweden who does occasional contract work for a company in Denmark.
It also discusses two cases related to determining eligibility for family benefits across member states, including differences in family allowance and parental benefit amounts in two example countries. Questions are provided for discussion on each case.

2010 - Détermination de la législation applicable sous les Règlements 883/200...
2011 - Free movement of patients – Checking the pulse of the Regulation
1. Fri bevægelighed af patienter
- Forordningen til helbredstjek
Free movement of patients –
Checking the pulse of the Regulation
Lektor Catherine Jacqueson, PhD, WELMA
Det Juridiske Fakultet, KU
2. Hvad? - Problemstilling
Mit overordnede sigte med dagens oplæg:
• Tage ”temperaturen” på Forordningen i forhold til patienters ret til
at blive behandlet i et andet EU land på DK’s regning
⇒ Hvilke selvstændig retlig betydning har Forordningen for disse
danske patienter?
⇒ Spørgsmålet er relevant fordi patienter kan få dækket en
behandling i DK på et andet retsgrundlag, nemlig på selve
Traktaten
3. Hvordan? - Disposition
1. Præsentation af det dobbelte retsgrundlag og reglernes
rationale
2. Er Forordningen ”overhalet” af Traktaten?
3. Kan Forordningen træde i karakter?
4. Konklusion: Har Forordningen bestået sundhedstjekket?
5. 1. Ret til behandling i EU på DK’s regning
Dobbelt retsgrundlag:
• Forordning 883/04 om koordinering af MS ordninger om
social sikring
• Art. 56 TEUF om den frie bevægelighed af tjenesteydelser +
patientdirektivet fra 2011
6. 1. Ret til behandling: Forordning 883/2004
• Grundprincipper
⇒ Behandling i forsikringsstaten/bopælsstaten
⇒ Dog ret til akut behandling under ophold i et andet EU-land, art. 19
⇒ Ret til planlagt behandling i EU på DK’s regning når
forhåndsgodkendelse, art. 20
⇒ Patienten har krav på forhåndsgodkendelse når DK ikke kan
yde behandlingen rettidigt
• Gælder for al behandling som patienter har ret til i DK
7. 1. Ret til behandling: Traktaten + patientdirektivet
• EUD: ret til behandling efter Traktaten siden 1998 => ret nu kodificeret og
præciseret i patientdirektivet
• Grundprincipper:
⇒ Sygdomsbehandling er en tjenesteydelse => forbud mod hindringer
⇒ Ret til frit valg af behandler i andre MS på DK’s regning
⇒ Uden forhåndsgodkendelse
• Gælder for en stor del behandlinger som patienter har ret til i DK:
⇒ Ambulant behandling, der ikke kræver brug af tungt medicinsk udstyr eller
infrastruktur
8. 1. Ret til behandling: Traktaten + patientdirektivet
• DOG særligt 2 undtagelser: 2 tilfælde, hvor patienten skal
søge om forhåndsgodkendelse hos Regionen:
⇒ For behandling, der kræver indlæggelse
eller
⇒ Behandling, der kræver brug af højt specialiseret og
omkostningskrævende medicinsk infrastruktur eller medicinsk
udstyr.
9. 1. Opsummering af de to regelsæt
• Forordning 883/04:
⇒ Kun ret til planlagt behandling i anden MS, hvis
forhåndsgodkendelse
• Traktaten og patientdirektivet:
⇒ Frit valg => der kan ikke stilles krav om forhåndsgodkendelse
når behandling ikke kræver indlæggelse, eller brug af tungt
medicinsk udstyr eller infrastruktur
Konklusion: Traktaten er mere fordelagtig for patienten i forhold til
behandling, hvortil der ikke kan kræves tilladelse
10. 2. Er Forordningen overhalet af Traktaten?
Traktaten + sundhedsdirektivet => konsekvenser i DK
∀ • 1) DK skal ændre reglerne mht. gruppe 1-sikrede patienter
∀ • 2) DK skal definere og afgrænse de typer bekostelige
behandlinger, hvortil der kræves forhåndsgodkendelse.
∀ Se sag C-C-512/08 Kommissionen mod Frankrig før direktivets
vedtagelse
11. 2. Er Forordningen ”overhalet” af Traktaten?
∀ Traktaten + sundhedsdirektivet => konsekvenser i DK
∀ • 3) DK skal sondre mellem behandling, der ydes på et hospital
∀ => ambulant => frit valg på DK’s regning
∀ => indlæggelse => ikke frit valg => forhåndsgodkendelse
∀ • Eksempel: kemoterapi der ydes ambulant i DK
∀ => DK bør vise fleksibilitet => ikke formalisme
∀ => Ros til Ankestyrelsen
∀ => Åbningsskrivelse fra Kommissionen til DK
12. 2. Konklusion: Er Forordningen overhalet? ”Ja men …”
• Kun få behandlingstyper hvor det frie valg på tværs af
landegrænsen ikke kan anvendes => stilles krav om
forhåndsgodkendelse
• Konsekvens: Forordningen er mere byrdefuld for patienten, fordi
den stiller krav om forhåndsgodkendelse for dækning i EU
• Kan Forordningen ALLIGEVEL være interessant for patienten i
visse tilfælde?
• Ja, af økonomiske grunde
13. 3. Forordningen kan træde i karakter
Valg af Forordningen: økonomiske fordele for patienten
Hvis patienten både har ret til behandling i et andet EU-land under
Forordningen og Traktaten, kan patienten frit vælge den regel, der er
mest fordelagtig
• Dækning
=> Traktaten: Ret til godtgørelse efter DK regler (DGR-takster)
=> Forordningen: - Patienten lægger ikke penge ud
- Dækning efter behandlingslandets regler
- Dog ret til difference hvis det er til patientens
fordel, jf. C-368/98 Vanbraekel
14. 4. Konklusion: Har Forordningen bestået sundhedstjekket?
Har Forordningen betydning i et patientperspektiv?
• Har selvstændig betydning på de områder, hvis patienten har ret til en
forhåndsgodkendelse og den søgte behandling er bedre dækket i det
andet EU-land end i DK.
⇒ Alene økonomisk fordel, ved at bruge Forodningen. Traktaten giver nemlig
også ret til forhåndsgodkendelse på de områder, hvor patientens frie valg
af behandler ikke gælder.
⇒ I den forbindelse, gives der forhåndsgodkendelse efter de samme
betingelser og procedure som dem, der gælder for forhåndsgodkendelse
efter Forordningen.
