• GREXIT BETWEEN SPECULATION AND TRUTH
  
  IonescuRomeo-Victor
  Abstract

  The paper deals with the idea of supporting or not Greece’s exit from the Euro area. Four economic indicators are used in the analysis: GDP growth rate, inflation rate, unemployment rate and government gross debt, in order to obtain a scientific conclusion. The comparative analysis between all Euro area countries is followed by regression, which is able to highlight the economic disparities. According to the results of the analysis, Greece faced the same challenges as Cyprus, Spain, Portugal or Italy, for example during 2010-2013. The economic contraction in Greece was followed by a new recovery process started in 2014. The official forecast for 2015 highlights positive trends for all above four indicators, as well. The main conclusion of the paper, using the economic approach, is that Greece does not have to exit from Euro area. Only a political decision can do it. The whole analysis and all conclusions of the paper are supported by the latest official statistical data and pertinent diagrams. Moreover, dedicated forecasting software is used in the paper.

• RÉFLEXIONS SUR LES DÉFIS OUR LE ”VIVRE ENSEMBLE” EUROPEEN. L’INTÉGRATION DE LA TURQUIE DANS L’UNION EUROPÉENNE COMME NECESSITÉ
  
  ChabalPierre
  Abstract

  La question de savoir si l’intégration de la Turquie dans l’Europe de l’Union Européenne représenterait un défi pour le ‘vivre ensemble’ européen est stimulante et utile. Elle est pourtant mieux formulée pour un débat public ou médiatique, qu’elle permet de conclure par un ‘non franc et massif’, que pour une véritable analyse de fond. D’autres questions sont d’ailleurs mal posées, comme par exemple : la Turquie a-t-elle vocation à entrer dans l’Union européenne ?

• TRANSNATIONAL CRIME - A THREAT TO REGIONAL ECONOMIC SECURITY
  
  TudorFlorin
  Abstract

  Transnational organized crime has become a key issue in international affairs and, unfortunately, one of the most important aspects of the global economy. Experts highlight the fact that organized crime - with all its undesirable consequences on competitiveness, or such other negative effects like counterfeiting or environmental damage - has the capability to undermine the rule of law and good governance. In this regard it is absolutely necessary to find ways of fighting against organized crime at international level. In order to respond effectively against the threats of organized crime, a series of regional and thematic transnational assessment is required. This is all the more beneficial since these assessments can contribute to economic security in the region. Although progress has been made in this area by international bodies and the European institutions, the present article proposes an analysis at regional level, based on current threats of organized crime in South-eastern and Central Europe.

  MihăilescuMădălina Elena

  PuşcaşuVioleta
  Abstract

  The paper analyzes the demographic dynamics and structure of a marginal group, represented by students with disabilities, in the University ”Dunarea de Jos” of Galati. It was given by the context of the development of a European project which facilitated access to university education for people with disabilities. The processed data cover a period of four years and have revealed several types of relations between the majority and the demographic structure of marginal group. The study took into account both the strictly demographic indicators - sex and age - and the options for study programs chosen by students. The research results show that students with disabilities represent a distinct category in terms of structural features. However, a number of general features of the macro-university system configuration is reflected in the marginal group, according to the principles of part-whole.

• THE SCOPE OF THE ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACT
  
  Deaconu-DascăluDiana
  Abstract

  This paper seeks to analyze the scope of the assignment of contract, fixed since the beginning of art.1315 Civil Code, according to which the contract substitution can occur in contracts where benefits have not been fully executed. As a rule, the assignment of contract is applicable to the contracts of successive performance, but the view was expressed that included within the scope of the assignment the contracts with immediate execution, whose effects have not been fully depleted, this opinion being supported by recent reports in the Italian law . Although the Romanian Civil Code does not contain provisions on the transmission of unilateral and bilateral contracts, the rule is that typical assignment is considered a bilateral contract, without excluding the possibility that atypical transfers may be considered unilateral contracts, although this situation is hard to imagine, given mainly because the underlying conclusion of such contracts. An entire legal dispute was created upon the situation of intuitu personae contracts, the authors who have treated the subject claiming that these types of contracts can be transferred by the mechanism of the assignment of contract when it is an "objective intuitu personae".
