infectious waste management in japan a Revised Regulation and a management process in medical institutions
Waste Management, 2005Co-Authors: Motonobu Miyazaki, Hiroshi UneAbstract:In Japan, the waste management practice is carried out in accordance with the Waste Disposal Law of 1970. The first rule of infectious waste management was regulated in 1992, and infectious wastes are defined as the waste materials generated in medical institutions as a result of medical care or research which contain pathogens that have the potential to transmit infectious diseases. Revised criteria for infectious waste management were promulgated by the Ministry of Environment in 2004. Infectious waste materials are divided into three categories: the form of waste; the place of waste generation; the kind of infectious diseases. A reduction of infectious waste is expected. We introduce a summary of the Revised Regulation of infectious waste management in this article.

Economic Regulation of airports: The case of Brussels Airport Company
Case studies on transport policy, 2013Co-Authors: Franziska Kupfer, Hilde Meersman, Tom Pauwels, Els Struyf, Eddy Van De Voorde, Thierry VanelslanderAbstract:Abstract This paper considers the economic Regulation of airports, with particular focus on the case of Brussels Airport Company (BAC). The foundation of the existing regulatory framework for BAC is called into question. At no point is BAC able to exert the kind market power normally associated with a ‘natural monopoly’. As a matter of fact, there are no indications whatsoever that the company holds a natural monopoly. It is nonetheless argued that supervision of BAC is necessary, albeit under a Revised Regulation.

Procedural Justice for ‘Weaker Parties’ in Cross-Border Litigation under the EU Regulatory Scheme
Utrecht Law Review, 2014Co-Authors: Vesna LazicAbstract:This article discusses how procedural justice for consumers, employees and insurance policy holders or other beneficiaries under insurance contracts has been ensured in the legal instruments of the EU legislator. The analysis focuses on the Brussels Jurisdiction Regulation, both under the current regulatory scheme and in its recently Revised version. Thereby, the rules on jurisdiction, the enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters, as well as instruments that unify certain rules of civil procedure have been analysed. Within the context of the rules on jurisdiction, the relevance of the EU legislation for the validity and enforceability of jurisdictional clauses against weaker parties is addressed. Thereby express provisions in EU legislation, as well as relevant case law of the CJEU, have been the subject of the analysis. The changes introduced by the Revised Regulation are discussed in great detail.
