The Current Discussion on Austrian Family Benefits – Indicating a Major Dissensus on the Interpretation of EU Law by Alexander Balthasar

“…What seems to be, at first sight, a flagrant breach of EU law (in particular of Article 7 of Regulation [EC] 883/2004) is, when looking deeper, much more complicated and might very well be only a symptom of deeply rooted differences in the interpretation of current, post-Lisbon Union law, (i)        in particular with regard to the relationship between the traditional prohibition of “discrimination on grounds of nationality” (Article 18 TFEU, Article 21(2) CFR; the  ‘Leitmotiv’ of the Treaties) and the “citizenship of the Union” (Article 9 second sentence TEU, Article 20(1), first and second sentence) on the one hand and the further role of the “nationality of a Member State” on the other, which shall, pursuant to Article 9 TEU, third sentence, as well as Article 20(1) TFEU, third sentence, not be replaced by the “citizenship of the Union”, (ii)       but also with regard to Article 352 TFEU, the scope of which is, most probably, much smaller than that of its predecessor, Article 308 TEC, (iii)      and last but not least, with regard to a proper understanding of the principle of equal treatment, requiring not to treat alike factually different situations. …”

Available Degrees of Spatial Multiplexing of a Uniform Linear Array With Multiple Polarizations: A Holographic Perspective by Xavier Mestre, Adrian Agustin, David Sarda

“…The high dimensionality of these systems implies that communications take place in the near-field regime, which poses some questions as to their effective performance even under simple line of sight configurations. In order to study these limitations, a uniform linear array (ULA) is considered here, the elements of which are three infinitesimal dipoles transmitting different signals in the three spatial dimensions. …”
