The choice between conflicting interests in EU competition law
Under EU competition law which interest prevails, at what conditions and to what extent? Who takes, and how, this decision? These are the questions addressed by this article.
The theme underlying this study is the relationship between the boundaries of competition law and the choice between conflicting interests. It is a extremely wide and articulated topic. The purpose here is simply to follow a reading of competition law that sketches across this field of law – from Treaty rules to enforcement – some of the various forms of conflicts-of-interest resolution. The analysis will focus, not so much on the merits of the choice made, but on the legal devise used to achieve and support that choice
I concetti di soggettività e personalità giuridica nella tematica delle succursali bancarie
Le Competenze esterne dell’Unione europea e le regole bancarie di Basilea
Lo scritto ha a oggetto il rapporto tra le regole elaborate dal Comitato di Basilea per la Vigilanza Bancaria (in breve, il Comitato), da un lato, e l’ordinamento dell’Unione Europea (UE), e più precisamente, la disciplina costituzionale dell’UE delle competenze internazionali o “esterne” delle istituzioni UE e degli Stati membri, dall’altro lato. La questione giuridica di fondo a cui si cerca di dare risposta è se, e come, l’ordinamento UE regola la partecipazione di Stati membri e di istituzioni UE ai lavori del Comitato. E cioè se la partecipazione al Comitato sia soggetta ed, eventualmente, in che misura alle norme costituzionali dell’EU che disciplinano l’esistenza, la natura e l’esercizio delle competenze esterne dell’UE, e quindi di riflesso delle competenze esterne degli Stati membri
The role and functioning of mutual recognition in the European market of financial services
In Europe part of the rule-making and the whole enforcement of financial services regulation still take place at national level. For this reason, mutual recognition of national financial laws remains an element of central importance in the creation and regulation of a European market in this field. This article seeks to contribute to the analysis of such legal instrument, as several aspects of its functioning often appear unclear. The article starts by analysing the principle of mutual recognition as developed by the European Court of Justice. An important distinction is drawn between such judicially created principle and the principle of mutual recognition applied by the EC legislator. The article then looks at the question of why mutual recognition has not succeeded as a regulatory mechanism of financial services market integration, and at the role of mutual recognition after the introduction of the so-called 'Lamfalussy' law-making process to the financial services sector
L. Dragomir, Eurpoean Prudential Banking Regulation and Supervision: The Legal Dimension
A READING OF THE EU CONSTITUTIONAL LEGAL SYSTEM THROUGH THE META-PRINCIPLE OF EFFECTIVENESS
The most important logic underlying the functioning of the EU legal system can be summed up in the formula “what is needed to make the EU function”. In legal terms this logic translates into the principle of effective- ness, under which EU law exercises its internal exibility and transforms national legal systems according to what it is deemed necessary for its own functioning, i.e. what is necessary to achieve its purposes. The major claim made by the article is that the principle of effectiveness can be considered as a meta-principle, determining the existence and application of most of the other general principles of EU law
