This paper explores the obstacles regarding cross-border transactions on immoveable property within the European Union. The existence of obstacles to the exercise of the freedom of movement of capitals, such as travel costs to the country where the property is located and finding a notary there, may even lead the parties not to enter in those contracts. E-justice solutions are being created to solve such situations and this paper reflects if they are enough to overcome the difficulties and rectify current deficiencies. It concludes by examining the tendency of solving the difficulties of international cooperation between non-judicial authorities through e-Justice tools.

This chapter examines the ways in which the European Union enters into international relations and engages with key processes in the world arena. It first provides a historical background on the interaction of an evolving EU with the rest of the world before discussing the main patterns of relationships and interactions in the areas in which Europe has been active. It then considers two centres of enduring tensions in the EU's external engagement: EU's engagement with processes of international cooperation and conflict, and with processes of global governance. It also looks at tensions that arise between the collective ‘European’ and national positions. They are between: Europeanization and national foreign policy; rhetoric and achievement; big and small member states; old and new Europe; and the concept of civilian power Europe and the EU as an international security actor with access to military forces.

Cross Border Cooperation

Problem setting. The issue of state regulation of cross-border cooperation turns out to be increasingly topical in terms of global European integration processes. Considering higher living standards and opportunities for social development in the neighboring countries of Ukraine, the expansion of cooperation of the border territories is worth doing for the purpose of their further development and more efficient resolution of common problems, which will contribute to the social and economic development of the border territories. Recent research and publications analysis. The issue of cross-border cooperation has been addressed in studies of R. Bilyk, T. Brus, F. Vashchuk, S. Horbatiuk, O. Horbach, I. Zhurba, Z. Zazuliak, V. Kovaliov, Y. Navruzov, R. Pasichnyi, I. Studennikov, S. Tkalenko, et al. Different aspects of formation and implementation of the state regional policy of European cross-border cooperation have been outlined in works of the scientists V. Vakulenko, I. Dehtiariova, I. Krynychna, V. Kuibida, Y. Makohon, N. Mikula, S. Romaniuk, and others.Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem. Given numerous studies of the mentioned problem, domestic scientists have not addressed the issues of state regulation of cross-border cooperation and specifics of the state policy of Ukraine in this area sufficiently. Paper main body. Formation of a new state policy in the context of integration of Ukraine into the European Union stipulates the importance of searching for new ways of cross-border cooperation as a vital part of the regional policy, and put an emphasis on cross-border cooperation in the policy of partnership of our country with European countries. Considering that western regions of Ukraine, besides ETC, can establish EGTC, it is important to use such forms as clusters, partnership, industrial zones, etc., more efficiently within cross-border cooperation. The aim of cross-border cooperation is to seek a mutually beneficial format of the implementation of national interests and strategical priorities of the outlined partners. As Ukraine as the Republic of Poland must embrace in their partnership the essential areas of international cooperation for maximum rapprochement with the European Union. Ukraine should make every effort at the state level to increase the competitiveness of the border regions by activating and developing cross-border cooperation, which in turn would contribute to the establishment and advancement of economical, ecological, cultural, scientific, social, technological, and travel relations between the subjects of those relationships. Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. The conducted research allows concluding that the potential of cross-border cooperation between Ukraine and the European Union is not used to the full. European territorial structures involving Ukrainian regions did not become an organizational and financial platform for coordination of cross-border cooperation. In order for Ukraine to implement the intention to integrate into the European Union and deepen its international cooperation, collaboration within the European Territorial Cooperation must be activated. Specific for the Western Region geographic proximity with the European Union, experience of cross-border cooperation, and existing network of institutions should contribute to the activation of development of the region and multidirectional collaboration between the Ukrainian regions and EU countries. Therefore, it is worth to remove all the obstacles on the way to the reformation of the tools for cross-border cooperation, and promote the formation of friendly relationships and improvement of teamwork between countries of the Western Border Zone.

AbstractMost forms of international cooperation in criminal matters have now been regulated to some extent by European Union legislation. One classical form of cooperation has been so far largely immune from influence by the EU legislator, however. This is the area of transfer of proceedings. This article provides an overview of the current situation and argues that new life should be blown into earlier initiatives to improve this form of cooperation. Harmonisation in this area will prove an important step to facilitate the proper administration of justice in the common Area of Freedom, Justice and Security that the European Union is set to realise.

The central focus of the study is what obstacles might exist in national legislation and practice of the Western Balkan states that might hinder or complicate the efficiency of international cooperation, according to European standards. The states that are included in the study are all states that have expressed their wish to accede to the European Union (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia) and Croatia that already has become a Member State. The question “What could amount to impediments to international cooperation?” has been leading throughout the study. The study is therefore to be considered as problem-focused. The study analyses various forms of international cooperation, such as exchange of information, mutual legal assistance, extradition, transfer of proceedings, joint investigation teams, confiscation, as well as the transfer of judgements and prisoners.
