Challenges for the Traceability of NGTs From a Legal Perspective
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (11/2022)
The regulation of new genomic techniques (NGTs) by European gene echnology law is not only of scientific-academic value, but also affects quite considerable economic interests. While the use of the corresponding technologies in the “red sector” – i.e. for human medical purposes – is still viewed with restraint in view of the risks to human health that are to be ruled out, the hoped-for multi-billion revenues in the “green sector” of plant biotechnologymean that less restraint tends to be exercised here.

The reliable estimates are essential to developing measures to reduce plastic pollution and to make successes measurable and visible. For this reason, the cross-border project "PlasticFreeDanube" (PFD), which is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund within the framework of Interreg Slovakia-Austria, aims to gain new knowledge on this topic for the Danube.

Biodiversity constitutes the special value of all animated nature. It can be described as a variety of life forms with all their changeability at the micro- and macroscopic levels. It is the sumof all genes, species, habitats and natural processes that are the essence of existence on earth.

International Workshop (2019): “The LOSC 25 Years After its Entry into Force: Between Comprehensiveness and Exceptionalism”
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (11/2019)
On 16 November 1994, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC) entered into force. In the subsequent quarter of a century (and indeed also already in the decade prior to its entry into force), the LOSC arguably proved to be the most important contribution to the development of international law of the sea in history.

The Environment as Legal Concept in the Law of the European Union
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (11/2019)
How does European Union law define the concept of the environment? Different, partly contrary regulatory purposes, conceptual understandings and mechanisms permeate both primary and secondary EU environmental law. It mixes anthropocentric and non anthropocentric legal purposes with causal, media-related and vital regulatory approaches.

Measures to Implement an Advanced Waste Management System in the Czech Republic
© ThomĂ©-Kozmiensky Verlag GmbH (9/2016)
The Czech Republic is now preparing the new complete revision of waste law. The transformation of the waste management into the circular economy started through the legislative process in June 2016. Waste management plan of the Czech Republic for 2015 to 2024 clearly specifies waste strategy and priorities for the country. Thus, in the Act on waste the ban on landfilling of recyclable and recoverable waste in 2024, obligatory separate collection of main municipal waste streams including biowaste since 2015 and currently proposed increase of waste landfilling tax with strict recycling targets already in 2018 are only the first milestones leading to smarter waste future in the Czech Republic.
