Resumen: En el Reglamento (UE) 650/2012 no existe una norma específica que regule la competencia en materia de expedición de certificados sucesorios nacionales, incluso no se utiliza nunca la expresión “certificado sucesorio nacional” como tal, sino que los denomina “documentos internos empleados en los Estados miembros para fines similares” a los de los certificados sucesorios europeos. Sin embargo, dicho instrumento internacional sí que contempla una regulación específica relativa a la competencia en materia de expedición de certificados sucesorios europeos (art. 64 Reglamento (UE) 650/2012). Pues bien, ante la “aparente laguna legal” en relación con los certificados sucesorios nacionales, se debe determinar, si dentro del concepto de “totalidad de la sucesión” -que indica el ámbito de aplicación del Reglamento-, se encuentran dichos certificados. En cuyo caso, las normas de competencia del capítulo II del Reglamento sucesorio serían de aplicación a la expedición de los certificados sucesorios nacionales y a los procedimientos relativos a ellos. En este sentido, la Sentencia del TJUE 21 junio 2018, Vincent Pierre Oberle, C-20/17 y, sobre todo, las Conclusiones del Abogado General Sr. M. Szpunar, han venido a solucionar esta “laguna legal”, así como otras cuestiones planteadas de gran importancia, en relación con el asunto concreto que se estaba dirimiendo. Se debe destacar que, con el fallo de la sentencia, se resuelve una cuestión que puede ser relevante para todos los Estados miembros en los que se contempla la posibilidad de que los órganos judiciales expidan certificados sucesorios nacionales.Palabras clave: Reglamento (UE) 650/2012, certificado sucesorio nacional, certificado sucesorio europeo, competencia internacional, tribunal, notario, resolución, totalidad de la sucesión.Abstract: In Regulation (EU) 650/2012 there is no specific provision that regulates the competence in the issue of national certificates of succession, even the term “national succession of certificate” is never used as such, but rather calls them “internal documents used for similar purposes in the Member States” to those of European Certificates of Succession. However, this international instrument contemplates a specific regulation governing the competence in the issue of European Certificate of Succession (art. 64 Regulation (EU) 650/2012). Well, given the “apparent legal loophole” in relation to national certificates of succession, it must be determined, if within the concept “succession as a whole” -which indicates the scope of the Regulation-, such certificates are found. In which case, the jurisdiction rules of Chapter II of this Regulation would apply to the issuance of national certificates of succession and the procedures related to them. In this regard, the CJEU Judgement of 21st June 2018, Vincent Pierre Oberle, C-20/17, and, above all, the Conclusions of the Advocate General Mr. M. Szpunar, have come to solve this “legal loophole”, as well as others issues raised of great importance, in relation to the specific issue that was being settled. This case, on the other hand, involves the resolution of an issue which could be relevant to all Member States where provision is made for judicial authorities to issue national certificates of succession. Keywords: Regulation (EU) 650/2012, national certificate of succession, European Certificate of Succession, international jurisdiction, court, notary, resolution, succession as a whole.

How should international criminal tribunals react if member states refuse to cooperate and if, therefore, those wanted by international arrest warrants remain in their exalted position in the eyes of the world? The majority of tribunals accept this situation and prefer to concentrate their resources on other proceedings. Some tribunals, on the other hand, choose a different path and allow proceedings in absentia. Based on a legal comparison of different national jurisdictions, this work uses an empirical approach to examine the extent to which international criminal tribunals have conducted such proceedings in the absence of the accused. On this basis, the work scrutinises the legality of such proceedings in accordance with human rights. Subsequently, criminal theories are used to determine the reason and the limitations of the general principle that the accused is supposed to be in court during his or her trial.

La autotraducción es un fenómeno que siempre ha estado presente, sobre todo, en aquellos sistemas socioculturales de gran riqueza lingüística y cultural. Este es el caso del sistema peninsular, donde cada vez más autores bilingües deciden escribir sus obras en una lengua minoritaria y, después, autotraducirlas al español. En este trabajo, se toma como objeto de análisis la poesía autotraducida del asturiano al español de Xuan Bello. Así, se observará si la autotraducción permite a este autor traductor, por un lado, trasladar sus reivindicaciones culturales a otro sistema ajeno al asturiano; y, por otro lado, definir su identidad individual.Palabras clave: autotraducción, poesía, asturiano, español, cultura, identidad.Self-translation is a phenomenon which has always been present, most of all in those sociocultural systems characterized by both their linguistic and cultural richness. One of those is the Spanish peninsular system where more and more bilingual authors tend to write their works in a minor language and subsequently translate them into Spanish. The aim of this paper is to research Xuan Bello’s self-translated poetry from Asturian into Spanish. That way it will be considered whether selftranslation helps this author-translator: on the one hand, to transfer his cultural demands; on the other hand, to define his individual identity.Keywords: self-translation, poetry, Asturian, Spanish, culture, identity.

This chapter explains the scope of operation of the EC/EU Regulation on Insolvency Proceedings. It emphasizes Article 1, which defines the Regulation’s scope in terms of the type of proceedings to which it does and does not apply, and Article 3, which prescribes the rules of international jurisdiction for all cases which fall within the Regulation’s sphere of application. Article 1(1) defines the scope in positive terms, by declaring that it ‘shall apply to collective insolvency proceedings which entail the partial or total divestment of a debtor and the appointment of a liquidator’. On the other hand, Article 3 imposes a set of jurisdictional rules which are applicable to all cases under the Regulation. The chapter concludes with a summary of the principal changes which will take effect under the provisions of the Recast Regulation (RR) which was adopted on 20 May 2015.

Who is bound by the competition rules in the EC Treaty? Article 81 EC applies to agreements and concerted practices between undertakings and to decisions of associations of undertakings; two addressees are specified: (a) undertakings and (b) associations of undertakings. This paper is mainly concerned with the meaning of (a) undertaking. As noted by Advocate General Jacobs, ‘the concept of “undertaking” serves a dual purpose in the system of Article [81]. On the one hand—and this function is more obvious—it makes it possible to determine the categories of actors to which the competition rules apply. . . . On the other hand, it serves to establish the entity to which a certain behaviour is attributable’.

The proposed recast Eurodac Regulation of 2016 extends its previous scope so that both illegally residing third-country nationals and those who have entered the EU irregularly at its external borders could be identified and so that this information could be used by Member States to re-document them for return purposes. In this way Eurodac will, according to the European Commission, contribute to the fight against irregular migration. The proposal is meant to improve the effectiveness of the EU return policy by facilitating the identification of persons illegally on the territory of the EU. After it is adopted, the new Eurodac Regulation may be considered as an example of a flanking instrument of the EU return policy. It should be emphasised that on the one hand the provisions foreseen in the Regulation are highly valuable when it comes to ensuring the effectiveness of the EU return policy. On the other hand, however, it is still unknown what effects it will bring when adopted.

The subject of the analysis conducted in the article is the current social and economic situation of Montenegro – one of the candidate countries for the membership of the European Union. The research problem -is important due to the fact, that the Balkan countries are an enclave surrounded on all sides by the EU Member States. On the other hand, EU Member States have awareness of the increasingly visible influence of Russia, China or Turkey in this region, which in the future may threaten the EU’s policy of stabilisation and democratisation of the region, as well as reduce the sense of security in European societies. The article aims to determine the premises that will indicate the opportunities and threats to further socio-economic development of Montenegro and its proper economic prosperity, which can lead to accession in 2025. The future of accession to the EU depends on the fulfillment of socio-economic criteria, which were partly achieved as a result of the first stage of the country’s transformation process. Montenegro can also use the experience of the past – gained as a federal state – in this process, however, on the other hand, the quality of integration with Serbia will not be a valuable experience for entering the structures of the community with great economic, social and organisational potential.

Until now in Indonesia, there is no specific regulation regarding aircraft as collateral object. As a result, in practice, the aviation industry players experienced obstacles related to aircraft financing by guarantee agreements with aircraft objects. Such conditions create legal uncertainty both for credit providers (creditors) and the aircraft guarantees (debtors), because there are no references or signs that can provide direction in the guarantee agreement. If there is a default by the debtor, the creditor has no legal basis for how to execute it. To fill the legal vacuum, in practice, a guarantee agreement was found with the fiduciary deed of the aircraft. Whereas the Fiduciary Law expressly states that it does not apply to (mortgages) aircraft. While on the other hand, Law No. 20 of 2014 concerning Notary Position gives authority to the notary to make an aircraft mortgage deed. Thus the regulations in Indonesia give signals to use aircraft as collateral object. Such a situation demands the urgency for regulations on aircraft guarantee that can provide legal certainty and legal protection for the parties.

The cholera outbreak in Haiti offers a useful case study of reputation as a disciplinarian of international organizations. On the one hand, UN officials and member states alike have emphasized the need to repair the organization’s damaged reputation. On the other hand, the UN secretariat declined to take certain steps that might have averted—or at least mitigated—that reputational damage in the first place. This contribution argues that the United Nations’ response to cholera in Haiti showcases some important limitations and complications of reputation as a disciplinarian. Reputation will function as a less effective disciplinarian of organizations in the context of uncertainty about the facts or about what the law requires. Notably, international organizations have some capacity to perpetuate factual uncertainty through their control over key sources of information. Reputation will also serve as a less effective disciplinarian when organizations have multiple audiences that are not evaluating the organization against the same standards.

Resumen: El objetivo del presente artículo es trabajar y reforzar las destrezas y competencias necesarias para aprobar el Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera. Para ello, se planteará una serie de recursos que buscan desbloquear al estudiante en un ambiente distendido, sobre todo los días previos al examen. La propuesta se centrará en la Prueba de Expresión e Interacción Orales, concretamente en la tarea 3 del nivel B1 y en la tarea 2 del nivel B2, que corresponden a la descripción de una fotografía. Se empleará, por una parte, un vídeo de carácter estático (donde el interlocutor no expresa movimientos corporales pronunciados) y por otra, cómics de Argentina que a su vez servirán para ampliar el léxico en la variante rioplatense. Por último, se tratará el uso del rap como herramienta para mejorar la pronunciación, entonación y el empleo del lenguaje no verbal. Palabras claves: DELE, vídeo, cómic, rap. Abstract: The purpose of the following essay is to train and to strengthen the skills and the competences required to pass the “Spanish as a Foreign Language Certificate”. In order to do so, we will first consider various resources which aim to release students from any kind of stress by setting up a relaxed atmosphere – especially a few days before the exam. The focus of the present essay has to be linked to the Expression and Oral Interaction tests and above all to the assignments 3 (B1 level) and 2 (B2 level), and their picture descriptions. On the one hand, we will use a static video and, on the other hand, we will tackle Argentinian comics in order to expand students’ knowledge of the Río de la Plata lexicon. Finally, we will deal with the use of rap as a tool to improve pronunciation, intonation, and non-verbal communication.Key words: DELE, video, comic, rap.

Resumen  En la construcción de las identidades nacionales es esencial el papel desempeñado por los enemigos externos y los enemigos internos. En el caso de Galicia, que es el que vamos a analizar, veremos que los traidores poseen una influencia mínima porque los enemigos más importantes se situarán fuera de Galicia. Se trata de Castilla y después España, antagonistas por antonomasia del pueblo gallego. Estudiaremos también la noción de antepasados gloriosos, muy útiles a la hora de proporcionar prestigio a la nación gallega, sobre todo en momentos de opresión o humillación. En este sentido, el mito celta, los suevos o los mártires serán figuras esenciales en el proceso de construcción de la identidad gallega. Analizaremos, por otro lado, la pervivencia de ciertos tópicos que desde el punto de vista histórico son insostenibles en el nacionalismo gallego actual.  Palabras clave  Nacionalismo gallego, BNG, mito celta, suevos, mártires, Castilla y España. Abstract  The role played by external enemies and internal enemies is essential in the construction of national identities. In the case of Galicia, which we are going to analyze, we will see that the traitors have a minimal influence because the most important enemies will be located outside Galicia. It is Castile and then Spain, antagonist par excellence of the Galician people. We will also study the notion of glorious ancestors, very useful in providing prestige to the Galician nation, especially in times of oppression or humiliation. The Celtic myth, the suevos or the martyrs will be essential figures in the construction of Galician identity. On the other hand, we will analyze the survival of certain topics that from the historical point of view are unsustainable in current Galician nationalism. Key Words  Galician Nationalism, BNG, Celtic Myth, Suevos, Martyrs, Castile and Spain.
