Access to Social Benefits for Third-country Nationals in the European Union Between Fragmentation and Equal Treatment
Full text linkThe article explores the fragmented legal framework governing third-country nationals’ (TCNs) entitlement to equal treatment with nationals of the host Member State regarding access to social benefits under EU law. Access to social advantages for TCNs is shaped by detailed EU secondary legislation, which defines rights and obligations based on an individual's specific legal status. While EU secondary legislation establishes differentiated rules depending on migration status, its transposition and implementation at the national level remain inconsistent: some Member States provide TCNs with broader access to welfare systems, while others impose more restrictive eligibility criteria. In light of this fragmented landscape, the article examines the CJEU's case law concerning the equal treatment provisions in three key migration directives: Directive 2003/109 on long-term residents, Directive 2011/95 on beneficiaries of international protection, and Directive 2024/1233 on the Single Permit. The study further investigates how the Charter of Fundamental Rights might help address the fragmentation surrounding TCNs’ access to social benefits. Special attention is given to the role of Article 20 in guiding the interpretation and evaluation of exclusionary or discriminatory measures, and to the potential of Article 34 in guaranteeing a dignified standard of living by establishing core minimum standards. Such standards would limit Member States' discretion in regulating access to social benefits and reduce the legal uncertainty associated with case-by-case assessments by national courts

Il ruolo del Parlamento europeo nella disciplina degli scambi commerciali con i Paesi in via di sviluppo: il caso dell’SPG
No full textThe present article investigates the European Parliament’s role in the EU GSP and its suitability in the promotion of the coherence between EU trade policy and the principles of the EU external policy. The empowerment of the European Parliament in the EU GSP decision-making process can favour the implementation of the human rights standards and enhance the transparency of the monitoring process. However, the European Parliament’s involvement in the GSP could subject EU trade policy to the impacts of EU domestic politics and push EU trade relations in a more protectionist direction by excluding specific products from beneficiary countries and by lowering the threshold for safeguard measures

GLI INVESTIMENTI DIRETTI ESTERI NEL SETTORE AGRICOLO DEI PAESI IN VIA DI SVILUPPO E IL DIRITTO DELL'UNIONE EUROPEA
No full textIl presente lavoro esamina le politiche e gli strumenti giuridici di promozione e di tutela degli investimenti internazionali nel settore agricolo di uno dei principali attori coinvolti nella nuova corsa alla terra: l’Unione europea. Il primo capitolo analizza la competenza dell’Unione a concludere accordi internazionali, al fine di comprendere la portata innovativa dei trattati di libero scambio di nuova generazione dell’Unione. Il secondo e il terzo capitolo individuano delle possibili soluzioni alle due principali esigenze legate agli investimenti in terre agricole, quali la stabilità e la protezione dell’investimento, da una parte, e la tutela delle popolazioni locali, dall’altra, attraverso un’analisi critica della politica commerciale comune e della politica di cooperazione allo sviluppo dell’UE. La tesi intende dimostrare che i trattati di libero scambio negoziati dall’Unione europea e la politica di cooperazione allo sviluppo dell’Unione possono contribuire a promuovere una maggiore certezza giuridica dell’ordinamento dei Paesi in via di sviluppo, punto fondamentale per qualsiasi riforma del settore agricolo, e conseguentemente garantire una maggior protezione non solo per chi investe, ma anche per le popolazioni locali.The dissertation investigates the policies and the legal instruments for the international investments' promotion and protection in agriculture of one of the main actors involved in the new land rush: the European Union. The first chapter analyses the EU’s competence over the conclusion of international treaties in order to understand the main innovations of the new generation of EU trade agreements. The second and third chapters focus on possible solutions of the two main agricultural lands investments’ requirements: investment protection and certainty, on the one hand, and protection of local populations, on the other, through a critical analysis of the EU common commercial policy and of the EU development cooperation policy. The thesis aims to provide that the EU free trade agreements and the EU development policy may promote a major legal certainty for developing countries, a key point for any agrarian reform, and consequently guarantee more protection not only for investors but also for local populations
