However, the choice-of-law agreement may have a different content than that outlined in the wording of Article 22 of the Twin Regulations. The purpose of the analysis is to illustrate that it would be incorrect to argue that such agreements are a priori invalid or not permitted to party autonomy. This issue requires an assessment of the concrete purpose of the parties' agreement and should at least be open to scrutiny by the competent court.

Nonostante i progressi derivanti dall’applicazione del principio di “solidarietà condominiale”, permangono limiti irragionevoli nel bilanciamento con la tutela della proprietà sia nei rapporti interni al condominio sia nei rapporti tra condomini e terzi. La disciplina vigente dei rapporti di condominio e di vicinato attende ancora di essere compiutamente attuata a salvaguardia dei fondamentali diritti delle persone che a vario titolo vi partecipano.

On the other hand, the Spanish Ley Orgánica 6/1985 del Poder Judicial states the grounds to determine the jurisdiction in the Article 22 quater, which replicates the grounds of the Article 3 of the Regulation 2210/2003 and they are applicable «as long as no other foreign court has jurisdiction». In that case, if Ana sues Tiziano before Spanish Court, both the Italian and the Spanish law have jurisdiction, but if Tiziano sues Ana, only the Spanish court will have jurisdiction. Additionally, both National laws set forth the possibility of an agreement between the spouses. With respect to the law applicable to the primary case, pursuant to the Regulation 1259/2010, Ana and Tiziano may agree to designate as law applicable: (i) the law of Spain, because Ana and Tiziano were last habitually resident in Spain and Ana still resides there (5.1.b); (ii) the Italian law, as Tiziano is an Italian citizen (5.1.c); (iii) the law of the forum (5.1.d). In the absence of this choice, the divorce shall be subject to the law of Spain, where Ana and Tiziano were last habitually resident and Ana is residing yet. (Article 8). It is worth mentioning that, unlike Regulation 2201/2003, the grounds laid down by Regulation 1259/2010 are sequential, not alternative. 3.-Tiziano set his residence in Denmark and Ana stays in Spain: About the jurisdiction: since Denmark does not participate in the Regulation 2201/2003, the case is subject to 1968 Brussels Convention on jurisdiction and the enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial (hereinafter "1968 Convention"), subscribed by the European Union and Denmark, among other states.

The Court has stated that these operations must be classified as ‘processing’ (within the meaning of Directive 95/46), and are activities that can be distinguished from and are additional to the activities carried out by publishers of websites, and have additional effects on the data subject’s fundamental rights. This means that, especially in an online environment, the types of data processing, as well as the rules to be applied are becoming more diversified, even when considering the rights that can be exercised by data subjects. The key question to be answered is therefore not whether, but how data protection principles and rules have to be applied in each specific case. This can be illustrated by the measures set forth by the Italian Garante per la protezione dei dati personali in order to bring the processing of personal data carried out under Google’s new privacy policy into line with the Italian Data Protection Code. These measures tackle the problem of applying ‘criteria for making data processing legitimate’ and ‘principles relating to data quality’ on the internet, and focus on the legal requirements for the data subject’s prior consent with respect to a wide array of features offered to its users. It is exactly on this ground that one point of connection between the Data Protection Directive and the e-Privacy Directive will be analysed. The measures seem to emphasise the role of data subjects’ consent in the area of marketing and behavioural advertising, where there is no room for contractual agreements. Nonetheless freedom of contract within the scope of personal data protection does not seem to be ruled out. In this context, personal data are not negotiable goods and cannot be treated in the same way as any other kind of tradable commodity.

Tale destinazione implica il coinvolgimento di rilevanti inte-ressi di natura pubblicistica e privatistica, talvolta concorrenti e/o configgenti nei singoli casi concreti. Ne consegue che la destinazione turistica di un bene può avere importanti ricadute sulle regole di fruizione, gestione e circolazione e sulla disciplina dei rapporti di vicinato. Il presente contributo si propone di focalizzare l’attenzione su tali profili prendendo in esame alcune questioni concrete (ad esempio: è possi-bile svolgere attività ricreative in un parco? Vi sono limiti all’iniziativa di destinare ad attività ricettiva l’unità immobi-liare di un edificio condominiale?) ed alcune recenti disci-pline (su vincolo alberghiero e condhotel), per evidenziare l’importanza di un corretto approccio ermeneutico al sistema delle fonti e la necessità di un effettivo controllo sulla con-formità ai valori costituzionali dei vincoli legali e convenzionali all’autonomia dei privati.

The European approach to online privacy and personal data concerns in the contemporary digital ag... more The European approach to online privacy and personal data concerns in the contemporary digital age appears to have embraced a 'user-centric' approach, inspired by values of 'personalism' and human dignity, regardless of the growing commercial value commonly given to personal data. These two sides of the same coin have been taken into account by the GDPR. On the one hand, it seems to outline a system of protection of data subjects that presents certain similarities and connections with consumer protection directives, especially as regards the transparency principle and the aim to provide individuals with 'effective' protection, enforceable rights and awareness-raising activities. On the other hand, a radical shift in the data protection policies of big online companies and many other service providers is required by the implementation of the set of mandatory principles and obligations stated by chapter IV of the GDPR, while the notice-and-consent paradigm is now quite remote. In particular, data minimisation, confidentiality, integrity, data protection by design and by default, as well as accountability and scalability principles require a model of approaching the new challenges brought about by data protection that should be 'contextual' and 'tailor-made'. This means that the appropriate measures to be adopted by controllers and processors must consider the specific circumstances of each individual case, in accordance with a proportionality and reasonableness test on the extent of risks to the rights and freedoms at stake. The new legal framework provided by the GDPR and Convention 108+ has weakened the role of national laws on personal data protection but has also posed the challenge of providing a uniform legal frame, at the European Union level, as well as of strengthening the harmonisation process among countries that are currently taking different approaches to data protection at a global level.
