Abstract

Achieving legislative harmonisation within the European Union (EU) is a multifaceted challenge, hampered by various political, economic, and legal complexities. This article addresses the significant issue of non-compliance by EU member states in transposing EU laws into national frameworks, underscored by numerous infringement procedures. This work introduces a novel methodological framework that combines semantic knowledge modelling and transformer-based language models to address discrepancies in legislative harmonisation. Central to the proposed methodology is the creation of a comprehensive glossary designed to establish correspondences between European legislative concepts and their national counterparts, thus facilitating greater accuracy in legal harmonisation. By deploying Large Language Models (LLMs) for semi-automating concept detection, complemented by legal harmonisation expert’s oversight, this research provides an exhaustive, explainable assessment of legislative approximation within the EU. The findings enrich the academic debate on legal harmonisation offering actionable tools designed to decrease the frequency and gravity of infringement procedures, while promoting a more unified and efficient legal framework across the Union. The complete dataset and resources are available at the following link: GitHub repository.
迈向半自动化的欧洲立法协调分析:基于法学硕士的法律概念检测的协调词汇表
在欧盟(EU)内部实现立法协调是一项多方面的挑战,受到各种政治、经济和法律复杂性的阻碍。本文解决了欧盟成员国在将欧盟法律转化为国家框架方面不合规的重大问题,强调了许多侵权程序。这项工作引入了一种新的方法框架,该框架结合了语义知识建模和基于转换器的语言模型,以解决立法协调中的差异。拟议方法的核心是创建一个全面的词汇表,旨在建立欧洲立法概念与其国家对应概念之间的对应关系,从而促进法律协调的更大准确性。通过部署用于半自动化概念检测的大型语言模型(llm),辅以法律协调专家的监督,本研究提供了对欧盟立法近似的详尽,可解释的评估。研究结果丰富了关于法律协调的学术辩论,提供了可操作的工具,旨在减少侵权程序的频率和严重性,同时促进整个联盟更统一和有效的法律框架。完整的数据集和资源可从以下链接获得:GitHub存储库。
