I övergången mellan de triassiska och jurassiska perioderna, för ca 200 miljoner år sedan, inträffade ett massutdöende som bedöms ha koppling till vulkanism i den Centralatlantiska magmatiska provinsen (CAMP). En signifikant ökning av växthusgaser som koldioxid (CO2) eller metan (CH4) och andra flyktiga ämnen, med efterföljande global uppvärmning som följd, föreslås vara den viktigaste drivkrafterAround the Triassic-Jurassic-Boundary time interval, a severe mass extinction event occurred, which has been associated to volcanism of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP). Significant amounts of greenhouse gases as carbon dioxide (CO2) or methane (CH4) and other volatiles are suggested to have been released into the atmosphere, leading to global warming with subsequent impact on the bio

I denna uppsats kommer dessa intressen att beaktas ur ett EKMR-perspektiv. Europadomstolen har ännu inte prövat ett fall om pojkars r

Europeiska kommissionen har sedan en tid tillbaka upplevt brister i EU:s kontroll av företagskoncentrationer. Detta eftersom EU:s koncentrationsförordning inte anses fånga alla potentiellt konkurrensrättsligt problematiska företagsförvärv.
