CBR: the EU test case for ruling requests
Several EU Member States have decided to start a test case with regard to the ruling policy, in cross-border situations (CBR).
EU Member States have eventually gotten a deal regarding common procedures in tax rulings. It is a test case, officially started on 1 June 2013 and expected to continue until 30 September 2018, that aims to receive requests and questions from taxable persons and companies involved in cross-border transactions.
Effective application of EU law is essential if the European
Union is to meet its objectives as set in the treaties and
enhance the credibility of the EU institutions in the eyes of
the citizens and the public at large.
While Member States are responsible for transposing
directives on time and accurately, and for correctly applying
and implementing EU law as a whole, the Commission
monitors the application of EU law and ensures that their
legislation complies with EU law.

European Parliament elections: common principles and national peculiaritiestelosaes
Between 22 and 25 May 2014, the elections for the renewal of the European Parliament will be held in all 28 EU Member States. There are common rules and mandatory in all Member States, but there are many differences between countries. They relate to: the electoral system; the possibility to divide the national territory into regional constituencies; the right to vote and to stand; the procedure to present candidate lists; the possibility for voters to change the order of candidates in the lists; validation of election results; the reallocation of seats possibly vacated.
Legislative developments in rail transport in 2011 in polandMichal
Most amendments of the Polish rail transport law in 2011 concerned the
organisation of rail transport including: improvements in timetable changing
procedures; mechanisms to ensure the observance and early publication of
timetables; interoperability of the rail system and; certification of train drivers.
Introduced were also some changes meant to restructure the incumbent state
rail operator (in Polish: Polskie Koleje Państwowe; hereafter PKP).

Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

Problems identified by the Venice Commission
(Opinion on Legal Certainty and the Independence of the Judiciary
in Bosnia and Herzegovina, June 2012)
A well-functioning justice system could better investigate and prosecute
high-level corruption.
2007 2010
The EU has repeatedly recommended the establishment of a state-level
Supreme Court that could harmonize application of legislation across
the four jurisdictions:
- State-level,
- Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
- Republika Srpska,
- Brcko District.
(EU Progress Reports 2007 - 2010)
Citizens REJECT the CURRENT FRAGMENTATION OF THE JUSTICE SYSTEM.
They understand the importance of having MORE GUIDANCE AND OVERSIGHT from a
STATE-LEVEL INSTITUTION such as a Supreme Court of BIH.
A STATE-LEVEL FIGHT AGAINST CRIME AND CORRUPTION would be more
effective in addressing corruption, the country’s biggest problem.
JUSTICE
Areas that
are regulated by
one system and
not by the other:
- The introduction of
inheritance laws in Republika
Srpska that have no
equivalence in the Federation
BiH.
Political pressure

There are
commercial
courts in the
Republika Srpska
but

are not guaranteed.

Identical laws
interpreted in different ways:
- There is a single law on medication in BiH
regulating the reimbursement for the
medication that is recorded on a drug list, but
the method of composing this drug list differs
substantively between the Entities, and even
among the cantons.
The result is different prices for
pharmaceutical drugs.
