An Internationally oriented interpretation of EU law on public procurement: strenghtening labour clauses through ILO Convention No 94
No full textThe paper explores the issue of working conditions and labour clauses in public procurement. It provides an analysis of the content of ILO Convention no. 94, as interpreted by the CEACR, as well as of the relevant EU legal framework, in order to clarify if and to what extent the obligations under international labour law differ from those set by the EU norms that protect competition and economic freedoms. The EU legal framework is extremely complex and not free from uncertainties, fuelled by a controversial case law of the Court of Justice, which has addressed, several times, the compatibility of labour clauses with the freedom to provide services. Moreover, both Directive 2014/24 and Directive 96/71 ignore ILO Convention no. 94. Consequently, an evident problem arises, especially for those States that do not provide for generally binding collective agreements, and, hence, may easily incur in violations of the internal market principles.
The aim of the paper is to provide an interpretation of the founding principles of the internal market integration harmonious with the applicable international labour standards, implemented by numerous national laws. The solution is to be found in the proper application of Article 351 TFEU, which may prevent the risk of denouncing ILO Convention no. 94. In order to avoid an irreparable conflict between EU law and ILO sources, the authors try to avoid a shallow interpretation of the standards set by the latter. They rather opt for resolving ambiguities and uncertainties of the CJEU’s case law in a way that promotes the maximum employment standards in public procurement, precisely by promoting the ILO norms, as sources that concur to define the EU general principles on labour
Prevention of Dry Socket with Ozone Oil-Based Gel after Inferior Third Molar Extraction: A Double-Blind Split-Mouth Randomized Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial
No full textTooth extraction is followed by a sequence of elaborate local changes affecting hard and soft tissues. Dry socket (DS) can occur as intense pain around and in the extraction site, with an incidence from 1–4% after generic tooth extraction to 45% for mandibular third molars. Ozone therapy has gained attention in the medical field because of its success in the treatment of various diseases, its biocompatible properties and its fewer side effects or discomfort than drugs. To investigate the preventive effect of the sunflower oil-based ozone gel Ozosan® (Sanipan srl, Clivio (VA), Italy) on DS, a double-blind split-mouth randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted according to the CONSORT guidelines. Ozosan® or the placebo gel were put in the socket, and the gels were washed off 2 min later. In total, 200 patients were included in our study. The patient population comprised 87 Caucasian males and 113 Caucasian females. The mean age of the included patients was 33.1 ± 12.4 years. Ozosan reduced the incidence of DS after inferior third molar extraction from 21.5% of the control to 2% (p < 0.001). Concerning the dry socket epidemiology, the incidence was not significantly correlated with gender, smoking or mesioangular, vertical or distoangular Winter’s classification. Post hoc power calculation showed a power of 99.8% for this data, with alpha = 0.001
Guided periodontal surgery: a novel approach for the treatment of gummy smile. A case report
No full textAn excessive gingival display, which commonly influences the appearance of the smile and the social behavior of patients, can be the result of various factors, including vertical maxillary excess, alterated passive eruption (APE), and a short or hyperactive upper lip. Surgical stents and guides have been used more frequently in clinical crown lengthening procedures during recent years to promote a higher level of precision and more predictable results. The aim of this article is to describe a novel approach for treating patients with APE who have high esthetic demands
Horizontal and Vertical Defect Management with a Novel Degradable Pure Magnesium Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) Membrane—A Clinical Case
No full textBackground and objectives: In guided bone regeneration (GBR), large defects comprising both horizontal and vertical components usually require additional mechanical support to stabilize the augmentation and preserve the bone volume. This additional support is usually attained by using non-resorbable materials. A recently developed magnesium membrane presents the possibility of providing mechanical support whilst being completely resorbable. The aim of this case report was to describe the application and outcome of the magnesium membrane in combination with a collagen pericardium membrane for GBR. Materials and methods: A 74 year old, in an otherwise good general health condition, was presented with stage 2 grade A periodontitis and an impacted canine. After extraction of the impacted canine, a defect was created with both vertical and horizontal components. The defect was augmented using the magnesium membrane to create a supportive arch to the underlying bone graft and a collagen pericardium membrane was placed on top to aid with the soft tissue closure. Results: Upon reentry at 8 months, complete resorption of the magnesium devices was confirmed as there were no visible remnants remaining. A successful augmentation outcome had been achieved as the magnesium membrane in combination with the collagen membrane had maintained the augmented bone well. Two dental implants could be successfully placed in the healed augmentation. Conclusions: In this case, the magnesium membrane in combination with a collagen pericardium membrane presented a potentially viable alternative treatment to titanium meshes or titanium-reinforced membranes for the augmentation of a defect with both horizontal and vertical components that is completely resorbable. It was demonstrated that it is possible to attain a good quality and quantity of bone using a resorbable system that has been completely resorbed by the time of reentry

No full textSoft tissue healing outcomes in dentistry with acellular dermal collagen matrix
No full textBackground and objectives: The collagen matrices are widely used for regeneration procedures alone or in combination with other dental regeneration materials. The aim of this work was to evaluate the soft tissue healing with acellular dermal collagen matrix (ADCM) being used in various defects. Materials and Methods: The ADCM - mucoderm® was used in peri-implant soft tissue augmentation, hard and soft tissue management in immediate restoration and sealing of extraction socket. For that reason, five patients were retrospectively analysed. Results: The collagen matrix underwent active remodelling into new soft tissue and successful soft tissue healing was observed. Conclusion: The use of mucoderm® led to successful soft tissue treatment in various defects
GDF Suez Transnational Collective Agreement on Health and Safety: EWC as negotiating agent and the relevance of the ETUF leading role. WP CSDLE “Massimo D’Antona”.INT – 119/2015
No full textSince the 1970s, we have witnessed a general liberalisation of
markets and the creation of multinational companies (MNCs) as global
players. This tendency is even stronger in Europe. Indeed, the European
Single Market (1992) with its four economic freedoms, free movement of
goods, capital, services and persons, implies that companies operating in
Europe can move and merge without, almost, any restraint.
The growing number of multinational companies has raised the
necessity to create new players and develop strategies from the
employee side, to prevent the undermining of European workers’ rights,
which is one of the side-effects of the regime shopping strategy often
used by the MNCs. As a response to this scenario, “a new transnational
collective autonomy is slowly emerging” (Sciarra 2009).
A European form of trade unionism has started consolidating since
the beginning of the 1990s. In those years, European Trade Union
Federations (ETUFs), at the time called European Industry Federations
(EIFs), have strengthen, by increasing the number of affiliates, of total
membership and enlarging the geographical scope, with the support of
the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC). However, ETUFs are not
constantly present at (multinational) company level, indeed that is the
role European Works Councils (EWCs). The 1994 directive provided for
the establishment of EWCs in those MNCs having some specific features.
The aim of the directive was to give a voice to the European workforce
within the multinational companies, as to try to influence transnational
corporate decision making (Mueller et al. 2010). EWCs enjoy the right to
information and consultation and their composition is basically chosen on
a case-by-case basis. A relationship between ETUFs and EWCs does exist,
however it is not linear and the respective roles are not clearly defined
yet
