On 13 September 2024, ahead of the presentation of the State Budget, the new Dutch coalition presented their finalized plan to implement what it has labelled as the strictest admission regime ever in the field of asylum law. To implement its Outline Agreement, titled ‘Hope, Courage and Pride,’ the government plans to rely on an derogation provision in the Dutch Aliens Act 2000. We argue that the provision does not apply to the current situation and that the Dutch government therefore does not have the jurisdiction to render parts of the Dutch Aliens Act 2000 inoperative.

Following Russia’s on-going facilitation of migrants to the Finnish border since last fall, Finland’s newly formed right-wing coalition government has closed the eastern land border indefinitely on 4 April 2024. Worried that this step will not be enough to ensure national security, the government is finalising a Draft Act on Temporary Measures to Combat Instrumentalised Migration, currently under revision.The draft bill allows for pushbacks in violation of non-refoulement and openly admits a conflict with Finland’s human rights obligations, EU law and own constitutional system, which is unusual. The unprecedented nature of the proposed measures is particularly worrying given that the Act appears unlikely to effectively address the essentially political problem that “migrant instrumentalisation” poses.

Die Legaldefinitionen „Landwirtschaft“ und „landwirtschaftlicher Betrieb“ differieren zwischen dem Recht der Europäischen Union (EU-Recht) und nationalem Recht. Der „landwirtschaftliche Betrieb“ ist zudem im nationalen Recht unterschiedlich definiert. Dieser Beitrag analysiert Legaldefinitionen und Begrifflichkeiten relevanter Rechtsmaterien (EU-Recht, Verfassungsrecht, Steuerrecht, Gewerberecht, Landarbeitsrecht, Sozialversicherungsrecht, Beihilfenrecht, Erbrecht, Grundverkehrsrecht, Raumordnungsrecht) aus rechtlicher wie fachlicher Sicht und skizziert juristische und politische Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten. Bei der rechtlichen Kompetenzverteilung zwischen Bund und Ländern im Bundes-Verfassungsgesetz (B-VG) verbleibt die Landwirtschaft gemäß Art. 15 Abs. 1 B-VG als Kompetenz der Länder. Es gibt jedoch keine Definition von „Landwirtschaft“ und „landwirtschaftlicher Tätigkeit“ in der Verfassung. Die Direktwirkung des EU-Vertrages impliziert eine zeitgemäße Interpretation des Art. 15 Abs. 1 B-VG und eine partielle Derogation gesetzlicher Regelungen, u. a. in der Gewerbeordnung und der Urprodukteverordnung. Der in gesetzlichen Regelungen vorausgesetzte Begriff „landwirtschaftlicher Betrieb“ ist in der Verwaltungspraxis und im Rechtswesen zeitgemäß zu interpretieren (Verkehrsauffassung).
