The discovery of the endocannabinoid system has raised public interest in the medicinal use of cannabis, phytocannabinoids, and synthetic cannabinoids, which has always been closely regulated due to ...their psychotropic effects and potential abuse. The review takes a quick look at the current legal framework in the European Union, which regulates cannabis use and cultivation for medicinal purposes in line with the United Nations Conventions on the production, trade, and use of cannabis, phytocannabinoids, and synthetic cannabinoids. And while the EU legislation precisely defines requirements and marketing authorisation procedures for medicinal products for all EU member states, there is no common regulatory framework for magistral and officinal preparations containing cannabinoids, as they are exempt from marketing authorisation. Instead, their regulation is left to each member state, and it is quite uneven at this point, mainly due to cultural and historical differences between the countries, leading to different access to non-authorised medicinal products. Therefore, to meet great public interest, harmonised approaches on cannabinoid-containing products without marketing authorisation would be welcome to level the playing field in the EU.
Each case of unwanted event in health practice that ends with death or a heavy injury quickly becomes main topic of public discussion about the quality of health service. Due to use of unclear ...terminology there is a false common perception about doctors’ responsibility. Such perception also puts unnecessary pressure on all actors in different official procedures. The mentioned perception is partly also generated by inadequate actions of health providers in unwanted events. Health providers mostly do not have an adequate system of organizational, legal, informational and personal actions in case of unwanted events. The article shows how such a system could be used for risk management in the case of unwanted events.
V članku avtorji sprva predstavijo pravno ozadje napotitev, ki določa statusnopravno opredelitev čezmejnega dela oziroma opravljanja začasnega dela v državi članici Evropske unije ali Evropskega ...gospodarskega prostora, ki ni država, v kateri delavec običajno dela. V nadaljevanju se na primeru napotitev iz Slovenije dotaknejo težav in vprašanj, ki jih ta statusno pravna kategorija čezmejnega opravljanja dela oziroma storitev prinaša v praksi. S konkretnimi primeri obravnavajo dve področji sistemskih problemov – administrativno in izvršilno. Izhodišče članka je, da napotitve v različnih državah EU odpirajo različne specifične probleme in vprašanja, povezana s posebnostmi na trgu dela, specifično delovno, socialno idr. zakonodajo, z delovanjem pristojnih institucij in njihovim medsebojnim sodelovanjem.
This handbook provides comprehensive and expert analysis of the impact of the Brexit process and the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union on existing and future EU-UK relations ...within the context of both EU and international law.
Examining the wider international law implications, it additionally assesses the complex legal consequences of Brexit for both the EU and the UK in their dealings with third states and other international organizations. With contributions from renowned specialists in the field of EU external action, each chapter will analyse specific policy areas to address key challenges arising from the Brexit process for the EU and the UK and propose solutions to overcome these problems. The handbook aims to fill a gap in research by assessing the consequences of Brexit under EU external relations law and international law. As such, it is hoped it will set the research agenda for coming years on the international dimension of Brexit.
The Routledge Handbook on the International Dimension of Brexit is an authoritative and essential reference text for scholars and students of international and European/EU law and policy, EU politics, and British politics and Brexit, as well as of key relevance to legal practitioners involved in Brexit, governments, policy-makers, civil society organizations, think tanks, practitioners, national parliaments and the Court of Justice.
Porast fleksibilnih oblik zaposlitvenih razmerij je zaznati tudi v slovenskem novinarstvu. Te oblike so pogosto tudi prekarne, kar (lahko) ima negativne posledice za kakovost novinarskih vsebin in ...ogroža vlogo novičarskih medijev kot nadzornikov oblasti. Avtorji prispevka utemeljujemo tezo, da so za pravno neurejen prekarni položaj novinarjev, ki omogoča pritiske na novinarje in pomeni grožnjo svobodi izražanja, odgovorne državne oblasti. Analiza primerov iz sodne prakse Evrops-kega sodišča za človekove pravice in Ustavnega sodišča Republike Slovenije je potrdila, da morajo državne oblasti aktivno zagotavljati pogoje za delo svobodnih medijev. Če država v zakonodaji do-pusti prekarno delo novinarjev, krši svoje pozitivne obveznosti v zvezi z varstvom svobode izražanja, saj politiki in kapitalu omogoči, da novinarje postavlja v odvisen položaj. Analiza ključnih doku-mentov je pokazala, da so v Sloveniji po letu 2002 zlasti novinarske organizacije redno pozivale k ureditvi razmer. Državne oblasti so bile s problematiko prekarnega dela ter s predlogi sprememb in dopolnitev zakonodaje seznanjene oziroma pozvane k ukrepanju, vendar problema prekarnosti sistemsko še niso uredile.
V prispevku so predstavljene ključne spremembe, ki so se na področju priseljenske zakonodaje zgodile v ZDA od predsedniškega mandata Billa Clintona do danes, ko je število nedokumentiranih ...priseljencev v ZDA preseglo enajst milijonov in je potreba po ureditvi sistema priseljevanja nujna tako z ekonomskega, varnostnega kot s socialnega vidika. Prispevek zato ponuja vpogled v analizo sprejemanja nove priseljenske zakonodaje v predsedniškem mandatu Baracka Obame ter v načrtovane spremembe sistema, sprejete v Senatu ameriškega Kongresa. V zaključku prispevka so tudi predvidevanja, kaj lahko pričakujemo v prihodnje, ko se bo aktualna razprava preselila v Predstavniški dom Kongresa.
Unemployed persons are often on the margins of the healthcare system and under the radar of safety and health organisations, as no systematic records are kept of occupational diseases caused by ...exposure at previous work place. Law in Slovenia requires that asbestos-related occupational diseases are verified by establishing the causal relationship between exposure at work and its effect on the worker. This report describes a case of verifying occupational pleural disease in an unemployed carpenter who was referred for consultation with occupational health specialist as part of the regular procedure for the unemployed registered at the Employment Service of Slovenia. At the consultation it turned out that the carpenter had been exposed to asbestos when he worked as a teenage apprentice. The diagnosis of the bilateral pleural disease and asbestosis was confirmed by X-ray and high-resolution computed tomography. Because he had no record of exposure in that period, we analysed his past working environment for minerals and found chrysotile in all asbestos board samples. The case was presented to an interdisciplinary committee, which verified his disease as occupational. This case points to the need of adopting guidelines for occupational health specialists providing counsel to the national employment service so that the number of unrecorded occupational diseases is minimised and their treatment is covered by the state.
Nezaposleni so pogosto na robu zdravstvenega sistema in izven dosega varnosti in zdravja pri delu. Poklicnih bolezni zaradi izpostavljenosti na prejšnjih delovnih mestih v Sloveniji ne spremljamo. Zakonodaja predpisuje upravičence, vrste azbesta in azbestnih izdelkov, bolezni, ki se štejejo kot bolezni zaradi izpostavljenosti azbestu in postopek priznanja poklicne bolezni zaradi izpostavljenosti azbestu. Pri dokazovanju poklicnega izvora bolezni je potrebno objektivizirali vzročno zvezo med izpostavljenostjo azbestu na delovnem mestu in reaktivnostjo delavca. Opisan je primer verifikacije poklicne bolezni zaradi izpostavljenosti azbestu pri nezaposlenem mizarju, ki je bil predstavljen zdravnici- svetovalki na zavodu za zaposlovanje v sklopu zaposlitvenega svetovanja. Azbestu je bil izpostavljen kot vajenec v mizarski delavnici. Diagnoza bilateralnih plevralnih plakov je bila postavljena z RTG p.c. in HR-CT. Ker ni bilo nobenih pisnih dokumentov iz obdobja izpostavljenosti azbestu, smo opravili natančno delovno anamnezo, izvedli mineraloško analizo na enem od delovišč in dokazali krizotil v vseh odvzetih vzorcih. Interdisciplinarna komisija je potrdila poklicno bolezen zaradi izpostavljenosti azbestu. Primer opozarja na potrebo po sprejetju smernic za delo zdravnikov-svetovalcev, s čimer bi se zmanjšala verjetnost spregledanih poklicnih bolezni. V primeru suma na poklicno bolezen pri nezaposlenih bi morala stroške dokazovanja prevzeti država.
