Corporate Governance of Insurance Firms After Solvency II
No full textUnder Solvency II, corporate governance requirements are a complementary, but nonetheless essential, element to build a sound regulatory framework for insurance undertakings, also to address risks not specifically mitigated by the sole solvency capital requirements. After recalling the provisions of the Second Pillar concerning the system of governance, the paper highlights the emerging regulatory trends in the corporate governance of insurance firms. Among others things, it signals the exceptional extension of the duties and responsibilities assigned to the board of directors, far beyond the traditional role of both monitoring the chief executive officer, and assessing the overall direction and strategy of the business. However, a better risk governance is not necessarily built on narrow rule-based approaches to corporate governance
EU Banking and Capital Markets Regulation. Open Issues of Vertical Interplay with National Law
No full textThe relationship between EU and national law has taken up new forms and dimensions in the context of EU financial legislation. The wide reforms introduced in the EU financial architecture over the past years raised new issues and opened new perspectives, stimulating paramount discussions and debates that are far from being settled. Issues concerning the interplay between EU and national law relate to all the dimensions of EU financial legislation: the principles and solutions that are consolidating in this area are also likely to set the standard within other fields of EU policy and legislation. Considering, for example, legal sources, the need to foster higher levels of harmonisation among the legislations of member states needs to be balanced against the complex mechanism of options and discretions, as well as with the application of the principle of proportionality embedded in most of the fundamental texts of European financial legislation. Enforcement and institutional interplay are striking examples of the complexities of the new system. The application of traditional principles comes at grips with the continuous effort, by EU institutions and by the European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs), to set the ground for a stronger backbone of common principles for the application of EU legislation. This volume explores these topics in a new, multi-disciplinary perspective, that cuts across all relevant areas of European financial markets law.The relationship between EU and national law has taken up new forms and dimensions in the context of EU financial legislation.

Jornalismo em quadrinhos: recursos subjetivos nas entrevistas desenhadas de Ricardo Siri Liniers Florianópolis
Get PDFTCC (graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Jornalismo.Este Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso, uma monografia, trata das entrevistas desenhadas do quadrinista portenho Ricardo Siri Liniers. Publicadas pela primeira vez em agosto de 2010 no jornal argentino La Nación, elas combinam elementos do jornalismo, como o formato pergunta-resposta, e dos quadrinhos, como as imagens de traço caricatural. Liniers aparece sempre como um coelho – seu alter-ego – e a partir dessa inserção desenhada parece conseguir algo raro nas publicações jornalísticas de entrevistas: revelar como a subjetividade do entrevistador atua na construção de uma conversa com os entrevistados. Para embasar essa hipótese, o trabalho utiliza como referência estudos jornalísticos sobre entrevista, tomando-a pelo que Cremilda Medina defende que deve ser, um diálogo possíve
