Introduction: the financial support of the public interest in the sphere of procurement is inextricably linked with the needs of the state in goods, works and services. At the same time, both state and municipal purchases include, as a rule, not only public needs aimed at performing the state functions, but also the needs of the existence and functioning of the customer as the executor of the state functions. Taking this into account, the purpose of the study is to assess the subject of the author’s hypothesis on the need to exclude the phrases “state and municipal needs” from the normative legal acts regulating the sphere of procurement, and enshrine at the statutory level a single general concept of “public needs”, as well as mandatorily divide them into general and intra-organizational ones. Methods: the methodological framework for the research consists of the following methods of scientific knowledge: historicism, systematicity, analysis, synthesis and comparative law. The results of the analysis of the normative legal acts regulating the sphere of procurement, the doctrinal literature and real practice allowed us to establish that the budget financing provides the planned and approved customer needs for goods, works, services, which also include the functioning of the customer. The use of the concept of “needs” and their confusion under the name of “state and municipal needs”, do not correspond to the meaning of “need”, which is a form of realization of the state functions. The concept of “needs” is more often used, both in connection with the implementation of the will and desire of the subject, and the implementation of actions against his will and desire, when he/she is forced by external circumstances or certain forces. The concept of “needs”, as a rule, assumes the presence of the subject’s own will to achieve a certain goal associated with the need to ensure its existence and activity. Needs are the basis of the manifestation of the subject’s interest to achieve something, and the interest itself acts as a conscious need. Needs are not always directed to the interest of the subject. Conclusions: the study revealed that in order to unify the conceptual apparatus in the sphere of procurement, it is necessary to introduce and legalize a single concept of “public needs”, which will not only reflect its essence and content, but also contribute to the uniformity of its use by the state and municipal customers, state corporations and other customers involved in ensuring public needs. The division of “public needs” into general and intra-organizational ones will allow all stakeholders to clearly assess both the necessity for the declared needs and the amounts declared for funding from the budget. This, if it does not increase the efficiency of budget spending, will at least contribute to their optimization.

Freedom is the focus of the first of the writings included in The Two Fundamental Problems of Ethics. The attention that Schopenhauer devotes to the subject does not stop here, however, since freedom appears recurrently in different parts of his system. It is linked to his theory of knowledge, metaphysics, aesthetics, and the denial of the will. This chapter follows that track and examines the presence in different contexts of Schopenhauerian thought of a freedom that is so undeniable as unexplainable. In this way will be shown Schopenhauer’s transition from the freedom of the voluntas to the freedom of noluntas [non-willing] and the state of great liberation that occurs because the will frees itself from itself. It is a transition that begins and ends at the same point: mystery

In an aim to contribute to already existing knowledge upon the subject of smart cities and the public sector’s wider knowledge in Europe, this study investigates the perception by the municipalities and the wider public sector, responsible for implementing smart solutions in the environment. The understanding of the concept of smart cities/villages by municipalities is on a low level due to the fact that the problem is too wide, not well described, solutions even wider, accompanied by the lack of experts able to offer comprehensive solutions to municipalities. The study presents factors according to the current municipalities’ knowledge (environmental awareness, knowledge and prior experience) and the existing market, of whether these factors can be said that affect the acceptance of smart cities. The public is already aware of the smart cities as a general concept, however, the study sheds light upon the established knowledge that the decision makers have in five countries, Hungary, Slovakia, Italy, Lithuania, and Denmark.

The President (Mr R. S. Bowie, F.F.A.): Tonight's topic is ‘100 years of state pension: — learning from the past’. I am reminded of the expression: why are the bankers so keen to find new ways of losing money when the old ways seem to have worked perfectly well!The state pension has been going in a recognisable form for only 100 years and only for the last 60 as a universal pension; and only for the last 30 years in the form that we all might recognise today.If the Actuarial Profession can bring value to something from the past, it is to bring a perspective and a context to it so that we can learn from it. In this way, the Profession can create an informed climate within which public debate on matters of public interest can take place. As you will all know, the Financial Reporting Council are pressing the Profession hard to give tangible evidence of its commitment to the public interest, and this book falls into that category, creating an informed background for debate on a matter of huge public interest.

The government has made many laws and regulations, but corruption issues cannot yet be controlled. Police and Prosecuting Attorney Institutions have not yet functioned effectively and efficiently in eradicating corruption. Therefore, the public hopes Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK)/the Corruption Eradication Commission eliminates the crime. KPK is considerably appreciated by the public due to Operasi Tangkap Tangan (OTT)/Red-handed Catch Operation to many government officials involved in bribery action, but the subject matter thereof is whether the OTT is in line with the fundamental consideration of KPK founding pursuant to Law Number 30 of 2002 as updated by the Law Number 19 of 2019 in order to increase the eradication of corruption crime causing the state's financial loss with respect to people welfare particularly KPK powers pursuant to the provision of Article 11 thereof, among others, specifying that KPK shall be authorized to conduct inquiry, investigation and prosecution on corruption crime related to the state financial loss of at least Rp 1,000,000,000 but in fact many OTTs performed by KPK have a value of hundred million Rupiah only and even there are any cases below Rp 100,000,000.-, and bribery action control through OTT being more dominant if compared to the state's financial corruption is not in line with the primary consideration of KPK founding, and similarly the OTT below 1 billion Rupiah doesn't conform to the provision of Article 11 thereof.

Since 2001, the Danish government has wanted to privatize the public broadcaster TV 2; however, the sales process has been halted. Ap- parently the EU rules on competition block for the will of the majority in the Danish parliament. The presentation explains this paradox by de- scribing the historical development of two processes: the attempt to the privatize TV 2 and the state aid cases against TV 2, which were opened by the Commission and now pending at the Court of First In- stance. The conclusion finds no inconsistency between the govern- ment's wish and the rules on State aid, but TV 2 has unlawfully trans- ferred funding for programming to equity capital, and the Commissi- ons has misinterpreted the conditions for using Article 86(2) in the Treaty in the evaluation of the recapitalization of TV 2. These two processes now obstruct each other.

Abstract The protection of the public interest is the main principle governing the activity regulation of the administrative bodies. This activity, traditionally, has been developed through administrative acts, as an expression of the unilateral and authoritarian willpower of public authority, which creates legal consequences. The administrative act has been and remains the most important instrument for the administration bodies to accomplish their mission, but it is no longer effective. Particularly this lack of efficiency is noticed in recent years when the development of the economy and the needs of the evergrowing society have prompted the administration to adapt its activity by making use of other mechanisms “borrowed” from private law. An important part of public activity can also be achieved through the contract as a way that brings the state closer to the private, mitigating its dominant position and leaving space for the efficiency of private activity to fulfil public engagements. Such contracts today are known as “administrative contracts” or “public contracts”. The terms mentioned above are instruments that establish legal relations, for the regulation of which the principle of public interest is opposed and competes with the principle of freedom of the contractual willpower. The regulation of these types of contracts is reached through the private law, which constitutes the general normative framework of contracts (lex generalis) even for the administrative contracts. But this general arrangement will have effect for as long as it does not contradict the imperative provisions of the specific act of public law (lex specialis), which regulates the administrative procedure for the completion of these contracts. This paper aims to bring to the spotlight the way our legislation predict and regulates administrative contracts, by emphasising particularly the features of their dualistic nature. The coexistence and competition of the principles of the freedom of contractual willpower and the protection of the public interest, evidenced in administrative contracts, is presented in this paper through the legal analysis of the Albanian legal framework which regulates these contracts. Under the terms when the role of the state in providing public services tends to increase and our legislation aims the harmonization in accord with the European legislation, it is necessary to improve the administrative contract regulation and extend its scope of action.
