A Tale of Two Cheeses: Parmesan, Cheddar, and the Politics of Generic Geographical Indications (GGIs)
No full textThe difference between Geographical Indication (GI) and generic food terms is an important and highly contentious issue in international negotiations. This distinction is significant to producers, manufacturers, consumers, and policy-makers all over the world because it means the difference between the restricted versus open use of certain popular terms in domestic and global markets. This thesis uses a food studies approach that employs cheese as a lens to understand the contested politics of Generic Geographical Indications (GGIs), which has been under-explored in the literature on GIs. Through case studies and an analysis of written policy material and other documents, websites, blogs, artefacts, observations, and semi-structured interviews and discussions, it investigates the complex processes through which European and New World (NW) actors compete over the status – protected or generic – of cheese names, why this struggle is manifested in the case of Parmesan but not of Cheddar, and how we can better understand genericism within the context of GI policy. The thesis argues that actors guided by differing agricultural paradigms compete to secure the use of terms through oppositional discursive strategies of ‘gastro-panic’, where they appeal to a language of security in order to persuade policy-makers to take action against the perceived threatening actions of their opponents. It finds that unlike the contested term Parmesan no such panic has emerged surrounding Cheddar because its widespread use has not been interpreted as a threat to the ‘original.’ As well, genericism emerges as both a dynamic and socially-constructed concept subject to ongoing negotiation and contestation and a strategic discursive device used to block the successful registration of proposed product names as GIs. The debate over cheese reveals the inherently political nature of the ways in which genuineness and genericness are constructed in an increasingly competitive market-place.The difference between Geographical Indication (GI) and generic food terms is an important and highly contentious issue in international negotiations.

La responsabilità dell'amministratore nella s.p.a. in crisi
No full textInternational financial and economic crisis has recently enhanced the debate about powers, duties, and responsibilities of company’s directors in coping with default.
The topic is systematically connected not only with Company Law and Corporate Governance matters but also with Bankruptcy Law and crisis management tools.
Moving from a brief overall framework about directors’ general duties, the dissertation focuses on default’s consequences on director’s role in Corporate Governance and related effects on business judgment and management.
The analysis deals with different issues regarding directors’ responsibility for having caused or aggravated default, for having failed in promptly and effectively perceiving crisis’ signals, or for not having adequately overcome the collapse.
Further, the study refers to some questions more closely related to directors’ liability in insolvency proceedings, pointing out different opinions in interpretation and case law, especially about requirements, burden of proof and damages.
In a comparative perspective, the work also outlines the debate about UK wrongful trading, introduced in the UK Insolvency Act 1986 and quoted in EU Commission’s 2003 Action Plan, considering main peculiarities and weak points of such discipline.
Finally, taking into account that Italian law does not arrange specific alert and prevention tools, the research offers a reflection on the opportunity of creating a system based on diligence and good sense that, moving from the current set of rules and respecting liability’s general regime, could set up an effective protection against default’s mismanagement.International financial and economic crisis has recently enhanced the debate about powers, duties, and responsibilities of company’s directors in coping with default.

La banca d'importanza sistemica e il suo rilievo istituzionale
No full textThe research provides an institutional analysis of the concept of systemically important bank. The first chapter explores the role of the Financial Stability Board (‘FSB’) in the wake of the recent financial crisis and its evolving relationships with the G20, the Basel Committee and with other organisations which compose the international financial architecture. To that end the analysis chronologically charts the development of the policy framework for Systemically Important Financial Institutions (‘SIFIs’), with a focus on policy measures specifically addressed to Systemically Important Banks. The second chapter deals with the implementation of the SIFI policy framework by the European Union and with the relationship between the concept of Systemically Important Bank and the broader European law-making system for banking regulation. The third chapter describes the Banking Union supervisory structure with respect to Systemically Important Banks, in the context of both the Single Supervisory Mechanism and the Single Resolution Mechanism.The research provides an institutional analysis of the concept of systemically important bank.

I rapporti tra regolazione e tutela della concorrenza nel settore delle comunicazioni elettroniche
No full textThe present study offers an in-depth economic and legal enquiry of the
relationship between regulation and competition law in the electronic
communications sector.
It first investigates market failures and failures created by anticompetitive
behavior, in light of the economic, legal, structural and historical peculiarities of
the telecommunication domain. In this regards, the role of the essentiality of the
infrastructure and the presence of facility-based and service-based competition
mechanisms will be comprehensively addressed.
The study further explores internal interferences between regulation and
competition, scrutinizing the partly different aims pursued. The resulting scenario
is extremely fragmented, including tendencies towards alignment, contraposition
and juxtaposition. Indeed, from an analysis of the various obligations imposed on
the incumbent operator by the regulator, a mosaic of diverse solutions are
embraced, for instance in regards to cost-orientation requirements, prices tests,
termination services, nondiscrimination and interconnection obligations.
This complex architecture also affects the external linkages between
regulation and competition, especially in terms of application of competition law
to highly regulated sectors and the effects of reciprocal influences on their goals.
In this respect, concerns associated with legal certainty, coherence in the
enforcement of the law and in the application of sanctions come into play.
This study additionally contributes to the current debate on technology
innovation in network systems, addressing the concerns related to the
preeminence of an incumbent in a regulated sectors. The issues stemming impose
further analysis and policy recommendations tackling the need to overcome the
present coordination breakdown between the incumbent and other operators,
defined as the tragedy of the anticommons.
Finally, the present study leads to a detailed critique of the hackneyed
notion of competition law and regulation complementarity, arguing for a much
more sounded “principle of regulatory consistency”, capable of tempering
antitrust enforcement and warranting not purely pro-competitive objectives, but
also fostering a pro-industrial policy. The author lastly warns against the inherent
risks of the economic approach to competition law, whose obligations and
remedies are applied following a “case by case” evaluation, often hampering the
coherence of interventions and causing difficulties for market operators.The present study offers an in-depth economic and legal enquiry of the

La qualificazione giuridica delle polizze linked
No full textIl presente lavoro riguarda la qualificazione di quei prodotti offerti da
imprese d'assicurazione, affacciatisi nella realtà italiana negli anni
80', che presentano all'interno caratteristiche sia assicurativa sia
finanziarie.
Si deve ricordare come oggi le assicurazioni sulla vita rivestano una
funzione economico/sociale di particolare rilevanza, sia dal punto di
vista del risparmio che dal punto di vista previdenziale. Un solo dato
numerico, di enorme rilevanza, può farci capire la rilevanza del
fenomeno, dato che, nel 2014, la raccolta del solo ramo III,
assicurazioni vita, è risultata di circa novantanove miliardi di euro.
Nel presente studio pertanto si intenderà esaminare la tematica delle
polizze assicurative appartenenti al ramo III vita, le polizze unit
linked ed index linked.
Tale lavoro sarà svolto avendo ben presente i contratti oggi offerti nel
panorma assicurativo italiano, cercando di analizzare se questi
particolari contratti rientrino nella fattispecie del contratto di
assicurazione, ovvero nella fattispecie degli strumenti finanziari od in
ultimo rappresentino un tertium genus rispetto a quelli tipizzati dal
legislatore italiano, nella codificazione civile, e pertanto ricadano nel
genere dei contratti atipici. La risposta a tale quesito importa una
serie di notevoli risvolti che vanno dal piano delle esecuzioni
individuali al fallimentare, sino a quello puramente civilistico.
L'analisi, partendo da una definizione generale del contratto di
assicurazione sulla vita, cercando di esporne la natura e gli elementi
essenziali, passerà a trattare la categoria del rischio, nelle specie di
rischio demografico e rischio finanziario, per poi cercare di
individuare come dottrina e giurisprudenza, anche comunitaria,
hanno cercato di interpretare tali contratti. Il fine di tale lavoro non
sarà altro che fornire all'interprete concreto un quadro completo
degli orientamenti sin qui affermatisi, ma soprattutto gli strumenti
per andare a qualificare ogni singolo contratto che si porrà alla sua
attenzione e risolvere le maggiori problematiche rinvenutesi nella
giurisprudenza che si sta formando negli ultimi anni.Il presente lavoro riguarda la qualificazione di quei prodotti offerti da
