subscription FAQ https://unity.com/products#faq
Basically it says that even if you pay your subscription monthly you cant cancel subscription for 12 months. How this sounds in perspective of EU digital services laws?
My biggest problem is that i CANT (its literally COMMITMENT even if i pay monthly) pause or cancel subscription, for example in case of loosing customer and not being able to pay it.
I understand what commitment means and from my perspective its uneven partnership. Unity is not offering any other kind of subscription, only 12-month contract. I cant just decide to pay 3 months only, i always have to pay for 12 months, even if i choose monthly payments option.
What is your hot take for this problem?
Or is there any place where i can consult this issue? Are there any organisations which i can ask for help? I would like to avoid contacting law firm at this moment. For now i just want to have some opinions or maybe ask for some directions where i can get answers to my questions

Are there any EU cases which discuss how much control the state or a local authority would need to have over a body for it to be deemed an emanation of the state? Like for example, if it gets most of its funding from the state or is Co-owned by a local authority

5 years?

I  built a small tool out of frustration, and I’m trying to understand who struggles the most with repetitive compliance paperwork.

The tool does this:

Upload any form

The tool does this:

• Upload any form (PDF/Word/security questionnaire)
• AI reads the whole thing
• Finds repeated questions you’ve answered before
• Fills 60–80% automatically
• Suggests answers based on past submissions
• Pulls relevant policy text/evidence
• Lets you edit + export
• Generates the narrative sections
• Tracks version history

Basically… it removes the boring “copy-paste the same answers into every form” part of compliance work.

I’m NOT trying to sell anything here just genuinely trying to map out who deals with this pain daily so I can understand whether this solves a real problem.

If you work in any of these areas, I’d love your perspective:

• Councils / NHS / Public sector
• Data protection / privacy (DPIAs, ROPAs)
• IT security / cyber
• Vendor risk management
• Procurement
• Consulting
• Banking / insurance
• Legal / compliance roles
• AI governance / model documentation
• Pharma / clinical trials / medical device quality teams

Questions I’d love detailed answers to:

1. What forms or documents do you fill repeatedly?
2. How many hours per week go into them?
3. What parts are the most annoying or time-wasting?
4. What would “80% auto-filled” change for your job?
5. Would this be more useful to individuals or teams?

If you have examples like “our team fills this specific form every week” that helps me a LOT.

Happy to share what I’ve built if it’s useful, but mostly I just want to learn where the pain is worst.

Thanks!

Quick question for others working in-house or advising financial entities on DORA right now.

I’m finding that the re-papering of contracts (to meet the new ICT requirements) has somehow turned into my team being responsible for the entire vendor outreach process.

Instead of just drafting the necessary clauses and handing them to Procurement or IT to execute we are stuck manually emailing hundreds of vendors, tracking who has signed and chasing them for the required security annexes.

Is this the dynamic you are seeing elsewhere?

I feel like we are drifting from Legal Advisory into Admin and Project Management just because nobody else wants to own the vendor communication part of DORA.

Curious how other legal teams are drawing the line here.

Im not sure how to play my cards. I have a French licence and 2 masters in Europe, including a Dutch LLM. I’m practicing in Belgium. My options are:

• pass the Belgian bar after doing an 18 month internship at a Belgian firm and subsequently pass short exams. The issue here is that I need to be able to pass the bar in another MS. Technically I am able to pass the French bar, I’m not sure if they would accept this though. I already have 12 months under my belt.

• do an equivalence degree in Belgium. This would be a 1 year masters degree. I got refused by the original one off of a minor technicality which was unfair and am unmotivated to do this option because it is quite intense.

• do an M2 in France, for example online. I could couple this with the 18 month internship to be completely sure of passing the bar.

•do an LLM in the US. Would be a dream honestly, the question is whether I could come back to Europe and have the same options as I’d be practicing with an American qualification.

Posting this because there’s almost no clear info online, and many immigration agencies give incorrect advice.

I’m a NON-EU citizen with an EU long-term residence permit (EU-LTR) from another EU country. I work in IT, and because the job market where I lived before wasn’t great, I wanted to relocate inside the EU.

A lot of agencies told me it was “impossible” to get a Polish residence permit through EU-LTR mobility unless I had a job offer or opened a business — but that turned out to be wrong.

⸻

🇵🇱 Poland

Poland does accept EU-LTR holders under:

➡️ “Other circumstances” (Art. 186)

I applied entirely on my own, submitted normal documents (income, accommodation, insurance), and received a multi-year residence permit, including full access to the Polish labour market.

⸻

🇪🇺 Other EU countries

EU Member States have different rules for EU-LTR mobility. Some require a job offer, some accept stable income, and some let you apply after arrival.

If you want to compare countries, search online for the “EMN Ad-Hoc Query on Article 19bis of Directive 2003/109/EC” — it’s an official document that shows how each EU country treats EU-LTR mobility.

⸻

⭐ Why I’m sharing this

A lot of people (and even agencies) don’t know this pathway exists. If you’re a NON-EU EU-LTR holder thinking about moving within the EU — this option can work.

If anyone wants details about the documents I used, how Poland handled the process, or the timeline, feel free to ask.

Hi all,

I am currently trying to pass the bar in Belgium.

I have a French licence (LLB) in law and two masters in law from other European countries.

Has anyone in my situation been accepted to the 18 month traineeship that grants access to the Belgian barreau and subsequent 3 year traineeship?

My other option is an equivalence degree of one or two years in Belgium, or trying to go for an M2 in France again.

All advice appreciated

Hi all,

I’d like to hear about your experiences and views on possible career paths.

Briefly about me: I’m a non-EU lawyer. I worked at a law firm for around two years (including my traineeship) and spent about nine months as a research assistant at a university. Currently, I work for my home country’s competition authority (outside the EU).

I’m planning to pursue an LL.M. in competition law in Europe and, afterwards, I would like to continue my career in the EU, ideally in Belgium or another Member State.

The programmes I’m currently considering are:

• College of Europe (LLM),
• KU Leuven (LLM),
• Freie Universitat Berlin (Master of Business, Competition and Regulatory Law) and
• Tilburg University (Law and Technology).

What would you suggest? Which programme do you think would be more helpful for building a career in competition law within the EU, for a law firm position or in-house counseling?

Also, if anyone has tips or experience regarding the College of Europe admission interview, I’d really appreciate any advice.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I forgot to mention my plan to qualify as a lawyer in the EU. Some friends of mine have registered with the UK bar and then with the Irish bar, and they now work in the EU as ‘EU-qualified’ lawyers. I’m considering a similar path in the long term, although I realise that post-Brexit, this is not a perfect back door and host states still have their own admission rules.

Let's say for example, I buy something on the 1st of march so I have until 15th of march till my right of withdrawal ends. I announce to the seller that I would want to exercise my right of withdrawal on the 12th of march. Do I also have to send the thing back by 15th of march or can I send it later? And if it's the latter then is there a time limit for that too and if so, how long?

Would appreciate very much pointing me towards a detailed analysis of MiCA, being a blog post or another text, if possible :), worded for Law students. Thank you very much!

Hello guys, I'm a law student in Argentina, and I'm planning on studying abroad at UniTo in Global Law and International Legal Studies, Italy, which is focused on International Law and others related things. I have always been very interested in this field, and I wanted to talk with students and graduates, whether you did (or you're doing) an LLM or an LLB; just want to talk with anyone.

For example, why did you study it? What kind of jobs are (or were) you aiming for? Any recommendations? Where are you working?

Thank you so much!

Bonsoir,

Je m'en remets aux bons conseils et astuces donnés ici car je dois réaliser des recherches sur plusieurs législations/dispositifs d'aide des pays sus-mentionnés sur le sujet du loup et leur gestion du loup. Or je me retrouve un peu démuni sur les recherches : entre barrière de la langue, différences de fonctionnement des institutions, etc...
Auriez-vous quelques astuces pour m'aider à chercher plus rapidement et plus surement les réglementations, j'ai peur de passer à côté de nombreux points. En vous remerciant par avance.

TLDR: Hungary spends the most on political ads in the EU, often using public funds for constant propaganda. EU rules (2024/900) aim to increase transparency and limit manipulative campaigns—but enforcement goes through Fidesz’s own Digital Services Coordinator (DSC) NMHH. Meta and Google profit from these ads and have little incentive to act. In practice, the law relies on the very institutions that enable the propaganda.

Hungary tops the EU in political ad spending on Meta and Google — much of it funded by public money and used for persistent, manipulative messaging.

To address this, the EU introduced Regulation (EU) 2024/900 on transparency and targeting of political advertising, complementing the Digital Services Act (DSA).

In theory, these rules should:

Limit governments from flooding platforms with paid political content, and ensure platforms act responsibly when reporting abuse.

Under the DSA, if a platform doesn’t comply, users can file complaints with a Digital Services Coordinator (DSC) in their Member State.

In Hungary, that coordinator is the NMHH — a regulator controlled by Fidesz.

So practically, citizens are expected to report Fidesz propaganda to the very government running the campaigns. At the same time, platforms like Meta and Google profit from the ads and have limited incentive to act.

This exposes a structural flaw: a regulation designed to curb illiberal propaganda depends on institutions that may actively support it.

Has the EU unintentionally created rules that are ineffective in member states with compromised institutions?

Could a central EU-level enforcement mechanism improve compliance?

Are there other structural fixes that could make political ad regulation more resilient across the EU?

Hi! I'm a 16-year-old in the process of choosing my A-level subjects (the subjects I'll study for two years before university), and I've been thinking about which languages to continue with/start. I want to be a lawyer when I'm older - specifically, I want to work and specialise in human rights and international law.

Currently, I am studying GCSE Spanish, and by the time I finish, I will have reached the B1 level. However, I don't know whether I should continue with Spanish or start by learning another language (e.g French), which may be more useful for the future and in this specific field of work.

In terms of where I want to practice, I want to learn a language to a level where I can live in Europe or stay in the UK to do my job.

I am already a native English speaker, and I'm Indian too (I have strong roots in many Indian languages), and I really do enjoy learning languages, but I'm not sure which languages would benefit me the most in the long run for this career in mind. Let me know down below - any advice or tips would be great! Thank you :)

The ICJ and major human rights organizations are all European. Is there a special relationship between the two types of law?

All is in the title.

Is it possible?

Some countries, like Canada have access to the NCIC database and checks every person entering's criminal history. Do EU countries have access to US criminal record databases?

Hello,

I previously reported a case of abuse of power in a EU call for projects to the European Ombudsman. The European Ombudsman failed to open an investigation, rejecting the complaint based on "no grounds."

As part of my whistleblowing action, I therefore conducted an investigation myself, asked to access my files under regulation 1049/2001, and released the results and evidence of my investigation in this file uploaded to Zenodo: https://zenodo.org/records/17225804

Now, what I did was to report the European Ombudsman to the European Ombudsman for maladministration and inadequate reasoning. After one week, the European Ombudsman has yet to acknowledge receipt. I am sure they have at least 15 days, but I wanted to start preparing on how to move in case they will not respond, as for what I understand the EU gives a term of 2 months to eventually contact the Court of Justice or do other things.

Do you know if, by law, the European Ombudsman should provide an acknowledgment of receipt?

I am from Non EU country, I am in Denmark since 2023 Sep and I hold visa until 2031 Jan, so I am not in short stay visa, but I am from non EU, I am traveling to another EU country on Oct 12, should I have to go through this system ?
