El presente artículo examina de manera pormenorizada la regulación vigente relativa a la sanción administrativa de la conducción bajo los efectos del alcohol, extendiéndose también a la conducta sancionable consistente en negarse a someterse a las pruebas de detección de alcohol. Este análisis se hace teniendo muy en cuenta la doctrina del Tribunal Constitucional sobre estos tipos administrativo y especialmente en su manifestación penal, y la de la Jurisdicción ordinaria en particular sobre el modo de proceder en la práctica de las pruebas de detección de alcohol. La tesis de este trabajo es que la reciente reforma legal de 2009 de la Ley de Seguridad Vial y antes en el año 2007 del Código Penal ha tratado de esclarecer y deslindar con un éxito y acierto relativos los ámbitos sancionadores administrativos y penal que hasta la fecha recaían sobre las mismas conductas (conducir bajo los efectos del alcohol y negarse a someterse a las pruebas etilométricas), y que tenían el efecto de reducir el expediente sancionador administrativo a una mera diligencia previa del procedimiento penal. El mantenimiento del tipo genérico de peligro en el Código Penal y la sanción a un tiempo administrativa y penal del delito de negativa a someterse a las etilometrías han frustado en buena medida la pretensión de que el Derecho Administrativo Sancionador adquiriese la autonomía y relevancia deseada con la reforma.

The objective of WP7 is to study, from the perspective of EU citizenship, specific problems EU citizens face in exercising civil rights and liberties in areas which fall within the scope of EU law, but also in areas beyond the scope of EU law. In the EU legal context, fundamental rights, including civil rights, have gained not only visibility but also, arguably, significance, now that the Lisbon Treaty has made the Charter of Fundamental Rights legally binding. Media freedom and policy in the EU in general has been widely researched and studied, focusing largely on the areas less directly relevant for citizens, i.e. television and radio broadcasting, media regulators, etc. This case study therefore focuses on tackling barriers in an area more relevant for individual citizens' freedom of expression, referred to as citizens' journalism. This is a new field of practice and research, where conceptual clarifications are needed and which calls for further research into the application and evolution of legal and procedural frameworks, in line with changing journalism landscape (blogs, online comments, etc). The Council of the European Union adopted Guidelines on freedom of expression online and offline for its external policy, while it does not have such guidelines internally, for its member states. Internally, freedom of expression is not strongly under the radar. There has been a discussion whether the mutual recognition of judgments in civil and commercial matters should not apply to defamation cases, since there is so much divergence. At the end, this has not become the case, therefore the strong substantive divergences remain, and need to be mutually recognized, with all resulting problems with forum shopping, and a potential race to the bottom. This report's initial understanding of citizen journalist has deliberately been an uncircumscribed one, in order not to impose an arbitrary, potentially too narrow concept on the different legal orders examined in this task. Therefore, the questionnaire was drafted to ...

Para ello, resulta necesario investigar diferentes aspectos científicos y técnicos que conlleven a una correcta valorización de las mismas. Los resultados obtenidos en el presente trabajo han puesto de manifiesto que la escoria de SiMn presenta una naturaleza sílico-cálcica, actividad puzolúnica intermedia entre el humo de sílice y ceniza volante, reduce el calor de hidratación y los morteros con escoria de SiMn muestra alcanzan resistencias a compresión similares a las del mortero patrón. Por lo tanto, la utilización de la escoria de SiMn como adición activa al cemento es viable, cumpliendo con las exigencias recogidas en la norma vigente. ; [EN] The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the behaviour of SiMn slag as a pozzolanic material in commercial Portland cement manufacture. This necessitated exploring different scientific and technical aspects to ensure a correct valuation. The results obtained revealed that silica and calcium are the main components of SiMn slag, whose pozzolanic activity occupies an intermediate position between silica fume and fly ash; it reduces heat of hydration and mortars made with cement containing SiMn slag exhibit compressive strength values similar to the figures for standard mortar. Consequently, the use of SiMn slag as an active addition to cement is feasible, inasmuch as the resulting product meets the requirements laid down in the present legislation. ; Peer reviewed

"Hot returns" is the term coined popularly to the action carried out by the law enforcement authorities and consists of handing the foreign citizens who have been intercepted by those authorities in the area under Spanish sovereignty over to the Moroccan authorities on a de facto basis without carrying out the legally established procedures or meeting the internationally acknowledged guarantees. Images, witnesses and other numerous sources with evidential value accredit such practices in the cities of Ceuta" and Melilla and the small islands under Spanish sovereignty. This report is aimed at (I) establishing that "hot returns" breach the immigration legislation (II) and the lack of a legal basis of the Spanish Ministry of the Interior's attempts to justify the "hot returns" based on the concept of an "operational" border (III), the irregular entry through unauthorised border posts (IV) and the agreement between Spain and Morocco regarding the circulation of people, transit and readmission of foreigners who enter illegally (V). Likewise, this report sets out the reasons why a possible reform of the immigration legislation to provide legal coverage to these types of practices would contravene EU regulations and international human rights law, which would expressly discredit them (VI). This report ends with reflections about the criminal implications for those who order, execute or allow "hot returns"
