TL;DR: It is concluded that relevant stakeholders support implementation of advance directives for mental health, but level of baseline knowledge and perception of barriers vary, and a multi-pronged approach will be needed to achieve successful implementation of Advance Directive for Mental health.
Abstract: An innovative Virginia health care law enables competent adults with serious mental illness to plan for treatment during incapacitating crises using an integrated advance directive with no legal distinction between psychiatric or other causes of decisional incapacity. This article reports results of a survey of 460 individuals in five stakeholder groups during the initial period of the law’s implementation. All respondents held favorable views of advance directives for mental health care. Identified barriers to completing and using advance directives varied by group. We conclude that relevant stakeholders support implementation of advance directives for mental health, but level of baseline knowledge and perception of barriers vary. A multi-pronged approach will be needed to achieve successful implementation of advance directives for mental health.

TL;DR: In this article, the integration of migrants has been placed at the very top of the EU agenda, where both the state and the migrant have a role in successful integration, and the way in which integration conditions have been included by the Council of Ministers in these legal measures may be considered restrictive Looking in particular at Directive 2003/109 on the long-term resident status, member states will have overly wide discretion to ask migrants to comply with mandatory integration requirements Immigrants will first need to pass an integration test and cover the financial costs of it before having secure access to the benefits and rights
Abstract: At a time when the development of a common EU immigration policy remains far from a reality, the integration of migrants has been placed at the very top of the EU agenda In this report we critically assess what integration may involve at the EU and national levels Although the Council has agreed on a set of common basic principles underlying a coherent European framework on integration, the bulk of directives so far adopted on regular migration have not followed the two-way approach, where both the state and the migrant have a role in successful integration The way in which integration conditions have been included by the Council of Ministers in these legal measures may be considered restrictive Looking in particular at Directive 2003/109 on the long-term resident status, member states will have overly wide discretion to ask migrants to comply with mandatory integration requirements Immigrants will first need to pass an integration test and cover the financial costs of it before having secure access to the benefits and rights conferred by the status of long-term resident These provisions should hence be revised Otherwise, by using this restrictive conditionality, such provisions may negatively affect social cohesion and inclusion, and undermine the fundamental rights of immigrants Integration is by nature an elusive concept Instead of worrying about the need to conceptualise this term, any policy intending to frame this field should instead look at it as a compendium of processes of inclusion tackling social exclusion These processes should seek to guarantee equal rights and obligations to those not holding the nationality of the receiving society Facilitating equality of treatment and full access to a set of economic, political, social and cultural rights and duties should be the real goal pursued

TL;DR: An overall minor positive change in follow-up practices in the UK is identified and three main barriers for improved follow- up are established: lack of appropriate legislation, implementation costs, and lack of enforcement.
Abstract: EIA is globally recognised and implemented as a decision making support instrument in project planning. Whilst it should be involved in both, pre-development consent deliberations as well as in subsequent phases, including post construction, in practice, follow-up is often deficient. In this paper, a review of how follow-up is dealt with in UK environmental statement non-technical summaries is presented. Furthermore, opinions of UK EIA practitioners with regards to current practices and barriers and possible implications of the new EC EIA Directive from 2014 are discussed. Comparing results with earlier publications, an overall minor positive change in follow-up practices in the UK is identified and three main barriers for improved follow-up are established: (1) lack of appropriate legislation, (2) implementation costs, and (3) lack of enforcement. The latter may still be the number one reason for continued deficient practice, even when the new EIA Directive is implemented.

TL;DR: The Marine Strategy Framework (Directive 2008/56/EC, MSFD) came into force in 2008, confirming the increased political interest in the oceans observed in recent years, and the change in the philosophy of environmental management, which has resulted in the development of many initiatives to guide the conservation, protection and sustainable management of marine ecosystems.
