The paper considers the provisions of the new Law on the Protection of Market Competition (hereinafter: ZZTN) passed in July 2009. This regulation, as the third in a row to regulate the issue of market competition. By this law, just as by previous laws, basically three substantive law notions of market competition law have been regulated: restrictive agreements, dominant position, abuse of dominant position, restrictive entrepreneur concentration. The new ZZTN compared to previous two laws does not introduce in this segment particularly important and revolutionary novelties. National law of market competition ( in that segment of regulation) has been modernized, national law of market competition and the like have been harmonized with acquis communautaire of the Community. However, significant novelty and one of basic reasons for passing the new ZZTN in national law on market competition has been the change of the previous system of sanctions for offenders of restrictive acts of competition law. According to the new system, passing of sentence and punishment of the offenders against competition provisions have been put in competence of the AZTN. Previously this part of enforcement of market competition law was under jurisdiction of Police courts. Such a model was contradictory to solutions known to other modern legislation on market competition (the USA, the EU, Germany) and moreover the same system did not render intended results. Consequently, it was exposed to the critic of the broader expert public for a longer period, which lead to the announced modifications of the mentioned regulation. The paper considers the above mentioned provisions of the new ZZTN. Legal solutions representing the framework of national law of market competition have been presented. The issue of administrative-punitive measures and a new system of punishment of offenders of restrictive acts of market competition law have been paid particular attention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To fullfil its communicational function, legal text is directed to two different groups of addressees: legal experts and lay people. In the communication with the latter group there are often severe problems in understanding. In that respect, since the 17th century in linguistic and legal journals published in German speaking countries, there were some attempts to make the language of law easier to understand to ordinary citizens. Because of the need to be understood by the widest circle of lay addressees and to be applied to all the potential disputes, the expected stylistic features of legal texts are simplicity, clearness, objectivity and exactness, as well as neutrality and logical flow of expression. Numerous objections against complexity and difficulties in understanding suggest that the stylistic features listed above are not sufficiently used in the language of German laws. The aim of this paper is to research to which extent the complexity of legal text is influenced by the frequency of usage of attributes. To this purpose the paper analyses the attributive usage of adjectives and participles on the text corpus of German Act Concernining the Execution of Prison Sentences (Prison Act). Our presumption is that the usage of adjectives and participles functioning as attributes, with regard to their descriptive function in the sentence, should be represented with low intensity within the corpus of the examined legal text. If the results of the research lead to opposite conclusions, that will indicate insufficient objectivity, neutrality and exactness of the legal text as discourse. On the other hand, the formation models and structures of adjectives and participles will indicate whether attributive usage of adjectives and participles can be considered as a factor of stylistic complexity of German legal texts.

Under the circumstances of increasingly visible climate change, most notably in the phenomenon of global warming, it has become more and more clear that the energy industry based on the exploitation of fossil fuels has significantly contributed to this development. Therefore, many countries acknowledge the need for a policy paradigm shift in the field of energy policy, which implies an increased relying on renewable energy sources and the improvement of energy efficiency. The author conducts a case study of Germany -- a forerunner in European efforts to link the energy industry based on renewable sources and environmental protection, and also on maintaining the security of energy supply. The paper tests whether this orientation of Germany is based on its policy capacity -- "the ability to marshal the necessary resources to make intelligent collective choices about and set strategic directions for the allocation of scarce resources to public ends" (Painter i Pierre, 2005: 2), and concludes that it is the internal state determinants, rather than policy diffusion, which have played a central role in Germany's attainment of a leadership position in the accomplishment of the "new energy paradigm".

Reforms of German law of 1998 encompassed commercial, arbitration and transport law. In this paper, the author examines the last, dealing with the questions: what is the ratio of the reform and what consequences it had for German transport in practice, how the reform was implemented, and what are the possibilities of a similar reform in Croatian transport law. The author examines the main issues which influenced the reform, the principles on which it was based, and the norms which implemented those principles, in comparison with international regulation. Special emphasis is placed on cargo transport, carrier liability for damage and the possibility for the parties to regulate certain relations autonomously. The author also deals with multimodal transport and transport which is significantly done by ship. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to offer some new information on the life and work of Matthias Flacius Illiricus the Younger, especially concerning his activity as a medical doctor and university professor. According to our present knowledge, he published 17 of his writings during his lifetime. Matthias Flacius the Younger was born on September 12, 1547 in Braunschweig. His mother Elisabeth had 11 more children with Matthias Flacius the Elder.When Flacius the Younger was 15 (in 1562), his father sent him to Strassburg to study philosophy. According to some scholars (Waltraut Wienke, 2001), Flacius the Younger arrived to Rostock in August 1572 and was granted the title of magister philosophiae on April 1, 1574. According to the sources, that very year he was enrolled at the Faculty of Medicine in Rostock. On April 27, 1579 he was mentioned as lecturing at the Faculty of Philosophy, where he became Philosophiae & Logicae Aristotelis doctor in 1580. It is interesting that only a year later on September 23, 1581, when he was 33 years old, he became Doctor Medicinae by defending a dissertation entitled "De cattarrho; ward darauf zum Dr Med prom". In 1592 he exchanged his position at the Philosophy Chair in Rostock for the medical one, becoming a professor of Practical Medicine. Matthias Flacius the Younger died on April 27, 1593, when he was 46 years old.
