A harmonização fiscal europeia

With this dissertation we aim to analyze the most relevant aspects of the excise duties harmonized regime, considering Community origins, but having also in attention all legal specifications of its implementation in Portugal. The legal regime of excise duties is presented as an ambitious theme, considering the challenge of different branches of law that influence this subject, such as Tax, Economic and Community laws, the inescapable influence of customs procedures, or regarding environmental objectives. In the European context, the harmonization of excise duties was seen as a condition for the implementation of the internal market, contributing to undo secular tax barriers between Member States and, since so, ensure fair competition and free movement of services and goods. Along with VAT, the excise duties harmonization process could represent a potential European tax system, essential for a full and integrated single market. In this context, it is essential to pay special attention to specific characteristics of excise duties regime, such as ‘duty suspension arrangement’ applicable during the production phase, storage and movement in certain conditions. The growing importance of excise duties, as for revenue or extra-fiscal purposes, recommends new academic studies on this subject, seeking new opportunities and challenges.

As relações UE-Ucrânia ao abrigo da parceria oriental: a projecção de poder da UE perante a Rússia e a criação de um limite entre dois cosmos

A crise política que teve início com a suspensão do Acordo de Associação da Ucrânia, em Setembro de 2014, reacendeu o debate sobre as implicações e consequências das relações da União Europeia (UE) ao nível da Parceria Oriental para com as suas relações bilaterais com a Rússia. A Ucrânia, que se encontra numa tradicional esfera de influência para a Rússia, e que por motivos históricos, económicos e políticos, se assume de grande relevo para a Europa, conheceu diversas fases de aproximação e contenção nas suas relações com a UE. Apesar da existência de uma fronteira geográfica entre a UE e a sua periferia, a UE estende-se, através das suas políticas desenvolvidas ao abrigo da Parceria Oriental, para além das linhas de Schengen. A Política Europeia de Vizinhança, contribui para o diluir das barreiras naturais através dos seus programas políticos, culturais e económicos. No entanto, a UE não conhece ainda uma verdadeira fronteira civilizacional – um limite no qual o mundo externo é demasiado diferente da sua génese e não poderá ser integrado no seu centro. A Rússia - um limite natural para a UE-, procura também estender a sua influência para além das suas fronteiras. Ambos se cruzam na região abrangida pela Parceria Oriental, procurando encontrar um limite real para o seu cosmos. A UE utiliza diversos instrumentos e capacidades por forma a desenvolver as relações com a sua vizinhança. Estes estão, no entanto, amplamente condicionados pela coesão interna da própria UE – a sua capacidade de gerar consenso por forma a formular políticas e desenvolver instrumentos. As relações desenvolvidas ao abrigo da Parceria Oriental são ainda influenciadas pela sua própria periferia, nomeadamente na vontade de assimilar ou não as políticas da UE. No caso específico da Ucrânia, que se manteve durante muito tempo num limbo geopolítico, no qual não se alinhou nem com a Rússia, nem com a UE, mas apenas com políticas específicas de ambos os cosmos, esta decisão acarta consequências drásticas na relação com o cosmo excluído. E, acima de tudo, a associação da Ucrânia à UE impacta directamente as relações bilaterais com a Rússia. Apesar da assinatura do Acordo de Associação com a UE, a Ucrânia não tomou ainda uma decisão civilizacional de integração num destes dois cosmos. E, a própria UE, também ainda apresenta sinais de hesitação. Neste contexto, a presente dissertação pretende compreender de que forma a Parceria Oriental tem contribuído para estas questões, analisando as consequências das relações UE-Ucrânia, desenvolvidas ao abrigo da Parceria Oriental, para a projecção de poder da UE perante a Rússia.

Relatório de estágio no departamento central de investigação e acção penal

The means of obtaining evidence, the amount of evidence obtained, the number of defendants related to each criminal case and the gravity of the crimes for which the magistrates of the Department are holders of penal action, define its real importance to the Rule of Law. I have deeply studied the subject of the institution of hierarchical intervention required by the assistant and the application of an opening statement by the defendant, starting from a hypothetical case, provided when the query of an investigation with the subject of the crime of active corruption, where this institution was called as a reaction to the archiving dispatch delivered by the Public Ministry. I have study about the implementation of the institution of provisional suspension of the process, specifically in the scope of fiscal criminality, analyzing the effective satisfaction of the purposes of the sentences in two slopes: general prevention and special prevention. I went for my first time to a Central Court of Criminal Instruction, where I attended the measures of inquiry and instructive debate of a process that culminated with the prosecution and pronunciation of the defendants. In addition to this criminal experience, I have deepened and consolidated the academic knowledge with the study of various criminal cases from various fields in the scope of criminality investigated by the Department. I could therefore check the basis of procedural delays, regarding to our legal system, especially in this type of crime, raising issues that I analyzed and discussed, always in a critical and academic way. I had the opportunity to attend and witness a seminar in the Lisbon Directorate of Finance as well of entering the Centre for Judicial Studies to attend a conference on the International Anti-Corruption Day. Focus on the investigatory importance of the international judicial cooperation, through the various organs, with special interest to EUROJUST. I comprehended the organization and functioning of these communitarian organs and means of communication of procedural acts, in particular, the rogatory letters and european arrest warrants. This involvement is motivated by the moratorium factor of the investigations where rogatory letters are necessary for the acquisition of evidence or information relevant to the good continuation of the process. For this reason the judicial cooperation through the relevant communitarian organs, translates a streamlined response between the competent judicial authorities of the Member States, through the National Member that integrates EUROJUST. This report aims to highlight some of the difficulties and procedural issues that Public Prosecutors of DCIAP and criminal police bodies that assist them, face in combating violent and organized crime, of national and transnational nature, of particular complexity, according to the specifics of criminal types.

Contratos de prestação de serviços de comunicações electrónicas

The object of this dissertation is the analysis of the legal framework applicable to contracts for provision of electronic communications services, while trying to offer solutions to some of the issues regarding this matter. The main focus of this study will be the rules concerning service’s suspension, which have been recently amended. The technological development and the establishment of these services as information transmitters and work tools were noteworthy for its growing importance at the present time. These services include cable television, telephone (landline and mobile) and internet and they are regulated by Law nr 23/96, July 26th, along with other essential public services. Said law sets a group of principles and duties, such as good faith (article 3), continuity and quality of the service (article 7) and the duty to rightfully inform the user (article 4), in order to protect the users. For the analysis of legal framework applicable to these particular contracts it is also fundamental to mention Law nr 5/2004, February 10th, known as Electronic Communications Law. The provisions regarding the service’s suspension are currently prescribed in articles 52.º and 52.º-A of the law. Given the amendments introduced by Law nr 10/2013, January 28th, consumers are subjected to a regulation different from the one applicable to the other users, established in the new article 52.º-A. From our analysis, we have concluded that the main change from past provisions has to do with the automatic termination of the contract as consequence of the consumer’s failure to pay the price or to conclude a written payment arrangement after service’s suspension.
