“…Third, the meetings take place only once or twice per year, and the lists of attendees often vary from meeting to meeting. This hampers continuity and in-depth deliberations (Stoll et al 2017). While EU trade agreements and concomitant CSMs are proliferating, institutionalised links among members of different DAGs are lacking (Commission Services 2018).…”

In response to growing contestation and politicisation of trade policy, policy makers have aimed to enhance the 'inclusiveness' of trade policy through the institutionalisation of deliberative forums in which civil society organisations participate. However, it is not clear whether these processes actually enhance inclusiveness. This article adds to our understanding of this question by, first, developing an analytical framework (the 'inclusiveness ladder') and, second, applying it to the civil society mechanisms (CSMs) of European Union (EU) free trade agreements. The unique feature of CSMs is their focus on ensuring that the actual implementation of trade agreement does not run counter to sustainable development principles. Specifically, our empirical research involves a mixed methods analysis of primary and secondary sources and a survey of civil society participants. We find that CS is largely included at the level of logistics and partly at the level of information sharing, whereas monitoring capacities remain limited and impact on policy-making is quasi-absent. Moreover, results suggest differences between business participants, who seem largely satisfied with the lower steps on the 'ladder', and non-governmental actors who insist on policy impact. Finally, we outline avenues for further research and reflect on policy implications.

“…For example, the parties of the sale contract may insist on the right of the seller to change and terminate the legal relationship in the event when the buyer refuses to pay for the goods under the contract or in the event when the buyer requests the court to recognize a sales contract invalid (Battjes 2016). Apart from several examples, the civil legal framework that deals with violations are more developed compared to the non-recognition and contestation of civil rights (Stoll 2018).…”

“…In many countries, such types of changes and termination of the legal relationship are recognized and practiced including the termination of the contract and the unilateral cancellation of the contract as legitimate means of defending property rights (Walter 2017). Mandatory protective legal means intend to defend the interests of the owner as a party to contractual relations and, in its essence, the applied provision is opposed to legal ways of protecting the absolute rights of persons and organizations that are not in contractual or other legal obligations (Stoll 2018). Contractual legitimate interest resides with the protected party .…”

The paper examines the aspects of the formation of a legal situation in which civil rights and obligations can not only emerge but also modify and terminate on various grounds. The relevance of the study is determined by the fact that civil rights and responsibilities usually rely on basic normative acts, which formalize the structure of public relations. The problem calls for further investigation of the doctrinal aspects of the emergence, modification and termination of civil rights and obligations. Within regulation of social relations rights and responsibilities can also emerge in the absence of a relevant framework and get shaped in the course of the development of the legal system of the state. The purpose of the article is to offer classifications and to discuss the sustainable ways of regulation of civil rights and obligations for the state and participants of the legal process. The subject of the study is civil rights and duties within the legal environment for their implementation. Our interest is in the description of the conditions for improving the structure of the legal environment and the sustainable development of civil society in the future. The results of the research describe the directions and the forms of development of long-term legal regulation in the social state system and its integration into international social and environmental legislation.
