The rule-making power of the European Commission
Lenfeld, Jiří
The rule-making power of the European Commission, dissertation Mgr. Mgr. Jiří Lenfeld, M.A.; supervisor: doc. JUDr. Richard Král, Ph.D., LL.M. Charles University, Faculty of Law, Department of European Law Prague, March 2013 The aim of the dissertation is to analyse the role of the European Commission in the legislative process of the European Union with the focus on procedures for adoption of legally binding Union acts. The European Commission is one of the main institutions of the European Union. It represents and upholds the interests of the EU as a whole and manages the day-to-day business of implementing EU policies. However, to limit the role of the European Commission to that of an executive body would be misleading. Its role in the EU institutional system is much broader than that. The European Commission is the most important legislator among the EU institutions and is also empowered with an almost exclusive power to submit drafts of EU legal acts. The rule-making power of the European Commission could be seen from two different points of view. In a narrow sense of the word it could be seen as a power conferred on the European Commission by the Treaties to propose drafts and to adopt EU legal acts implementing legally binding Union acts. However, the exercise of the rule-making power may...

Analysis of the Influence of Preferential Voting on the Municipal Elections
Mareček, Jan ; Němec, Jan (advisor) ; Lisa, Aleš (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the transmission of voting behavior patterns from elections to the Chamber of Deputies to the Municipal elections in 2010. There has been recorded an entirely new phenomenon of preferential voting for the last four candidates on the lists during the last Parliamentary elections, which had been created by Citizens' Initiative. This kind of preferential voting has proved very effective in order to show dissatisfaction with usually always the same candidates on the lists. The aim of the thesis is to find out what was the impact of the Parliamentary elections on the voting patterns in the Municipal elections that took place five months later. The text is divided into four chapters. The first one is a theoretical basis of the thesis which deals with proportional and majority systems with a focus on preferential voting. The second chapter concentrates on the personalization of the vote in various types of elections to the Czech representative bodies. The third chapter could be characterized as a bridge between theoretical and empirical part, where the author describes the phenomenon of the preferential voting in the Chamber of Deputies in May 2010. The last (fourth) chapter consists of author's analysis of preferential voting in the Prerov Municipal elections, which in the end enables to answer the questions.
