The general safety and information requirements and detailed labelling obligations laid down in European Union Regulation 258/97 include a requirement to label products where ‘ethical concerns’ exist. At Community level, the time when ethical issues were primarily political in nature appears to be over. Using Regulation 258/97 as an example, this article discusses the substantive regulatory role of ethics in Community law and raises some issues of principle for future regulation of ethics at national and Community level.

Susan Jacqueline Butler
Arizona Journal of International and Comparative Law
Volume 17, Number 3, Fall 2000 p.555

This Article begins by providing a short description of the historical development of German corporations, the so-called Aktiengesellschaften (sLaw Journal / Law Reviewk corporations), and a description of the German banking system. Then the unique features of German Aktiengesellschaften, including bank involvement, how it was created by German law and practice, and the influence of European Union law are discussed. The Article then compares the capital structure of German corporations to that of U.S. corporations. The final section compares corporate governance in the United States to the governance system in Germany.

Achieving Legal and Business Order in Cyberspace: A Report on Global Jurisdiction Issues Created by the Internet – Committee on Cyberspace Law
Business Lawyer
Volume 55, Number 4, August 2000 p.1801

The explosion of electronic commerce has dramatically increased the contact between buyers and sellers habitually resident in different states or countries and has, therefore, also dramatically increased the number of potential disputes in which jurisdictional issues may arise. The law of jurisdiction historically has focused on where certain acts occurred; in cyberspace, such questions are difficult to resolve. Nonetheless, parties themselves exist in real space and may target others in known locations. While such targeting is ordinarily thought of as the act of a seller, the search power of the Internet empowers buyers as well, allowing them to find a local, passive seller with ease. In light of such changes in classic jurisdictional assumptions, the Report begins by proposing certain solutions to various repeating jurisdictional questions. It then sets out and explains the changes, discusses the doctrinal framework for personal, prescriptive, and enforcement jurisdiction from the points of view of the United States, the European Union, and Japan, and finally considers how changes and doctrine affect nine specific substantive law areas most frequently implicated by electronic commerce.
