Excise tax on sugar-sweetened beverages is a tax policy instrument used to prevent and control obesity. From clinical, public health and economic aspects, obesity is a very dangerous disease that affects over 600 million people around the world. It is expected that the introduction of excise taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages, and other “nutritionally empty” foods will have positive effects on changes in consumers’ behaviour and the structure of their diet and health. The calories in sugar-sweetened beverages represent a significant source of excessive calories in the diet of a modern man on a global scale and as such lead to the development of obesity. Higher sale prices of taxed beverages should decrease their consumption, consequently diminishing caloric intake, and decrease the prevalence of obesity. Tax revenues can also be used for financing the increasing health care costs in treatment of obesity and its comorbidities, for subsidizing the diet of the poorest population groups and for the production of highly nutritious food. The levying of excise taxes causing a drop in demand of these products would force the producers of sugar-sweetened beverages to improve the quality of their products and change their assortment. The introduction of the excise tax on sugar-sweetened beverages has been disputed, and the opponents question its effects on dietary, health, financial and social sector. Contradictory analysis results of the excise tax efficiency on sugar-sweetened beverages contribute to a burning debate over the introduction of this tax.","PeriodicalId":41100,"journal":{"name":"Pravni Vjesnik","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42797172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main characters of this story are Oliver Holmes for the classical pragmatist reshaping of the concept, and Learned Hand and Richard Posner for the more recent economic analysis of it. The paper suggests that, despite those concerns, that pragmatist reshaping was, and still is, welcome.","PeriodicalId":41100,"journal":{"name":"Pravni Vjesnik","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45661335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From 2010 onwards, as opposed to the conventional crisis management method of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the European Union, which was based on budgetary restrictions, adjustments were made to the budget. In 2013, the Hungarian central bank, which did not use conventional crisis management instruments either, joined in, thus becoming an institutional part of the state financial system. It was confirmed that the central bank can help fiscal consolidation and growth potential while still being able to preserve its independence. Conditions were established for the – non-conventional – rules of both fiscal and monetary interventions within the highest level national regulatory framework of the law, compliance with which is ensured by legislative and institutional guarantees.","PeriodicalId":41100,"journal":{"name":"Pravni Vjesnik","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48932057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Crucial for this definition is the notion of a continuing obligation, as well as notions of a continuing act of performance and of consecutive acts of performance. Both the notion of a continuing obligation and the distinction between the consecutive obligations and the performance of an obligation in parts or instalments have been discussed in the paper. Moreover, it differentiates between the contracts for successive delivery, where the repeating of single acts of performance and counter performance at certain time intervals represent partial fulfilment of the contractual obligations, and the contracts for continuous delivery, where the obligation of successive deliveries is a continuing obligation, the scope of which depends on the duration of the contractual relationship. Based on the views developed in German, Austrian and Swiss laws, the conclusion has been drawn that it is adequate for the Croatian law to define continuing obligation relationships as obligation relationships, where the typical main obligation is a continuing obligation, that is, an obligation the subject of which is a continuing act of performance or continuous repeating of single acts of performance. The paper points out the typical continuing obligation relationships and their key distinctive features from obligation relationships that are not continuing obligation relationships, which are referred to as simple obligation relationships.","PeriodicalId":41100,"journal":{"name":"Pravni Vjesnik","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41455096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
