• Promoting Economy: Electronic Reverse Auctions Under the Ec Directives On Public Procurement

The reverse electronic auction is a new competitive bidding procedure adopted by the recently enacted European Community (EC) directives on public procurement. It is submitted that the electronic reverse auction has the potential to reduce the tension between the European Commission and national policies of procurement, as it can decrease contracting costs, increase transparency and achieve better economic outcomes as a result of increased competition. This paper relies on auction theory in order to support such statements. A comparison between the traditional sealed-bid method and the reverse auction is further provided.

• Airworthiness Directives; Eurocopter France Model EC 120B Helicopters

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the Eurocopter France Model EC 120B helicopters. This AD requires modifying the pilot cyclic control friction device by replacing a certain thrust washer with two thrust washers. This AD is prompted by an incident in which the pilot encountered a sudden restriction of the cyclic control movement during flight. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent jamming of a pilot cyclic control stick and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

• The Uncitral Convention On Carriage of Goods by Sea: Harmonization or de-Harmonization?

The only exception is the European Union. Because member states have transferred a part of their sovereignty, they have an obligation to implement and apply EC Directives and EC Regulations, regardless of whether they are satisfied with the content or not.4 Otherwise, there is no possibility to force a sovereign state to implement or apply provisions in an international instrument that it has not chosen to ratify or accede. Since the chapter on jurisdiction is not automatically binding on a ratifying state, the compliance is on the individual member states of the European Union.

• European Vehicle Manufacturers Face Recycling Requirements

Although it is still a few years away from being implemented, the European Commission's (EC) Directives on End of Life Vehicles are already weighing heavily on the minds of most automakers in Europe. The first directive was introduced on September 18, 2000 to reduce the proportion of ECV content going to landfill. The number of vehicles involved is not unsubstantial: up to 10 million vehicles a year in the European Union member states reach the end of their life on average 13 to 14 years after being first placed on the market, generating between eight and nine million tons of "waste." There are a number of other measures to which the automotive industry has to comply, such as the restriction of certain heavy metals in new vehicles. One company that has heeded the call and has been quiet...
