Kärt barn har många värden, eller vad är det man brukar säga? Skogen är älskad och brukad av oss året om och i alla delar av landet. Det är förståeligt att det framkallar stora debatter och delade åsikter. Likaså gör EU om man kollar på vilken nyhetskälla som helst. Hur blir det då när EU ska komma in och bestämma över Sveriges skog. Kaos antagligen. En av EU:s förordningar är den så kallade ’LandThe forest contributes multiple services, among others renewable materials, carbon sequestration, and recreational value. This thesis studied the effects on forestry stemming from the revised Land Use, Land Use Change, and Forestry regulation. The question is how reduced logging, which is in line with the new regulation, affects social welfare when incorporating the benefits of ecosystem services.

The United States is witnessing the emergence of what has popularly been coined Trumpism – a new conservatism inspired by the administration of Donald J. Trump, however, extending beyond to other far-right politicians.

Examensarbetet undersöker de utmaningar som finns vid tillämpning av marknadsmanipulationsbestämmelserna. Marknadsmanipulation är ett brott som kräver uppsåt, men det saknas specifika krav på vilken typ av uppsåt som krävs. Detta gör uppsåtsbedömningen svår, speciellt vid mindre allvarliga överträdelser. Enligt "direktivet" MAD II ska marknadsmanipulation vara straffbart, men det finns vThis thesis examines the challenges in applying the provisions of market manipulation. Market manipulation is a crime that requires intent, but there are no specific requirements for the type of intent required. This makes the assessment of intent difficult, especially in cases of less serious violations. According to the "Market Abuse Directive" (MAD II), market manipulation should be p

Huvudregeln i upphandlingsrätt är att upphandlingar ska annonseras. Detta grundar sig i principerna om att upphandlingar ska vara öppna för alla leverantörer att söka för att principerna om fri konkurrens och fri rörlighet av varor och tjänster i den inre marknaden ska säkerställas. Emellertid finns det undantag från denna huvudregel. Vid synnerlig brådska finns det möjlighet att frångå annonserinThe exception for extraordinary urgency is primarily evident through the strict interpretation by the European Court of Justice (ECJ). It's so strict that it has never been invoked in any of the Court's cases. The fundamental rule in procurement law mandates that tenders must be ad-vertised. This is rooted in the principles of open access for all suppliers with the intent to ensure free c
