La proposta di regolamento sull'intelligenza artificiale e la protezione dei dati personali
È ipotizzabile una responsabilità civile dello Stato nella salvaguardia del clima?
1. L’istituto della responsabilità civile è idoneo a conseguire una decisione che obblighi lo Stato a porre in essere gli strumenti necessari per fronteggiare la crisi climatica? - 2. La sentenza del Tribunale di Roma nel caso “Giudizio universale” ed il problema dell’enforcement, sul piano interno, delle obbligazioni climatiche assunte dallo Stato a livello internazionale. – 3. La scarsa incidenza del diritto dell’Unione europea sulla configurabilità di un’obbligazione risarcitoria in capo agli Stati membri per mancata adozione delle misure di contrasto al cambiamento climatico. – 4. La sentenza della Corte europea dei diritti dell’uomo nel caso KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz. – 5. Rilievi critici sull’interpretazione della Corte europea ed analisi delle conseguenze che la stessa produce sul piano interno. – 6. Conclusioni: il margine ristretto, nel nostro ordinamento, per il contenzioso climatico strategico
La tutela degli interessi collettivi nel diritto dell'Unione europea
As a result of some scandals (such as that of Dieselgate), collective actions have recently returned to the fore. While these mechanisms are particularly common in the United States, the European Union has always been quite dubious about the adoption of a comprehensive regulation on the matter. In recent times, however, as a result of the Commission's initiative, they have come back into vogue. In particular, the Commission presented a proposal of a directive on the protection of collective consumer interests in April 2018. The legislative procedure has gone ahead and it is now nearing its conclusion. In this context it is appropriate to evaluate, both the legitimacy of the action of the European political institutions, with regard to the division of competences in procedural matters, and the need for the same, in the light of certain provisions of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. In particular, according to the author, an action by European institutions is necessary with reference to articles 37 and 38 of the Charter, concerning, respectively, the protection of the environment and consumers. In fact, in the absence of specific instruments for the protection of collective interests, the rights of these two categories would remain devoid of effective judicial protection, in sharp contrast with Section 47 of the same regulatory instrument. In this context, the author examines the current state of European legislation with reference to access to justice in environmental issues and the judicial protection of consumer rights
Il Recovery Fund
The Next Generation EU (also called Recovery Fund for its function of restructuring the economy of the member States, after the COVID-19 pandemic) is a plan with which the European Union aims to raise funds on the market through the issue of bonds and, subsequently, to disburse sums of money, including non-repayable funds, for the realization of projects of common European interest. With this plan, the EU intends to finance the so-called green transition, bridge the digital divide and, in addition, support the structural reforms necessary for each member State. The program is very ambitious and marks a turning point in the European Union’s approach to managing economic crises, in the sense that, instead of the so-called ‘austerity’, the supranational legislator prefers to finance investments capable of supporting growth and industrial reconversion. The paper analyzes the conclusions of the extraordinary meeting of the European Council in July and the main draft acts published by the European Commission. The author notes that the program presents certain provisions which, at first glance, may appear incompatible with the Treaty, such as the power of the Commission to issue bonds and the incidence of the no bail-out clause on the legitimacy of non-repayable aids. However, these doubts can be resolved in the light of the correct reading of the provisions of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. The problem is that the Next Generation EU plan ends up restricting the already limited room for maneuver of national parliaments in defining economic policies, so it does not seem really lawful in the light of the democratic principle enshrined in Article 10 TEU
Intelligenza artificiale e dati personali
The European Commission, on April 21, 2021, adopted a legislative proposal of a regulation on artificial intelligence.
This proposal was formulated after a long preparatory work, in which all the political institutions of the EU have been involved.
The proposal does not intend to interfere with the regulatory framework for the protection of personal data (regulation 2016/679).
However, there appears to be some overlap between the two sources of EU law. These overlaps concern the principle of consent, the so called minimization, the pseudoanonymization, the improper use of involuntary discriminatory biases and the right to the explanation of the outcome of a specific system of artificial intelligence.
The author tries to overcome the overlaps and the disharmonies due to the cumulative application of the two sources of EU law (reg. 2016/679 and the future regulation on AI), but it would be better for the European legislator to clarify how to solve the difficulties discending from the application of the GDPR to artificial intelligence systems
La proposta della Commissione europea di adozione del “Digital Markets Act”
I mercati digitali presentano caratteristiche molto peculiari, che ne hanno determinato una struttura fortemente oligopolistica. Questo assetto ha, fino a questo momento, prodotto diverse conseguenze dannose, sia sul funzionamento del mercato che sullo sviluppo di nuove imprese e nuovi prodotti. In questo contesto, diversi Stati hanno cercato di contrastare il fenomeno attraverso l’intervento delle autorità antitrust. Tuttavia, al momento, i tentativi sembrano non aver prodotto gli effetti sperati. L’approccio ora tentato dalla Commissione europea, che sta cercando di introdurre una specifica regolamentazione ex ante delle piattaforme online, fa sperare in una parziale soluzione del problema. La proposta non appare, tuttavia, molto chiara su una questione cruciale, che è il rapporto della stessa con la normativa antitrust. A parere dell’Autore, il Digital Markets Act deve essere considerato come una fonte di diritto complementare, il che significa che gli obblighi previsti al suo interno devono sommarsi agli obblighi previsti dagli artt. 101 e 102 TFUE.Digital markets present very peculiar characteristics, which have determined a strongly oligopolistic structure of the market. This structure has produced several harmful consequences, both on the functioning of the market and on the development of new businesses and new products. In this context, several States have tried to tackle the phenomenon through the intervention of the antitrust authorities. However, at the moment, the attempts do not seem to have produced the desired effects. In this context, the approach now attempted by the European Commission, which is trying to introduce specific ex ante regulation of online platforms, gives hope for a partial solution to the problem. The proposal is not very clear on a crucial matter, which is the relationship between the proposal itself and the antitrust rules. According to the opinion of the Author, the Digital Markets Act must be regarded as a complementary source of law, which means that the obligations provided within should add up to the obligations provided for by Articles 101 and 102 TFEU
