  • L'entente Personnelle Au Service De L'union Monétaire De L'europe
    DOCTORAT AIX-MARSEILLE UNIVERSITÉ délivré par AIX-MARSEILLE UNIVERSITÉ THÈSE pour obtenir le grade de DOCTEUR D’AIX-MARSEILLE UNIVERSITÉ Formation doctorale : Études germaniques Présentée et soutenue publiquement par Laurence Pellegrini le 20 septembre 2013 TITRE : Les activités du « couple » Valéry Giscard d’Estaing-Helmut Schmidt après 1981/82. L’entente personnelle au service de l’Union monétaire de l’Europe. Directeur de thèse : Professeur Karl-Heinz Götze JURY M. Götze Mme Defrance M. Keller Mme Miard-Delacroix M. Pfeil Résumé La présente thèse de doctorat décrit comment la construction européenne, point de confluence de la démarche politique de Valéry Giscard d’Estaing et d’Helmut Schmidt, a déterminé la poursuite de leur collaboration après 1981/82. Dans ce but, elle se focalise sur les travaux du Comité pour l’Union monétaire de l’Europe, créé à l’initiative de Valéry Giscard d’Estaing et d’Helmut Schmidt en 1986, au lendemain de l’adoption de l’Acte unique européen par leurs successeurs. Quel rôle leur initiative a-t-elle joué sur la constitution du Comité Delors en 1988, chargé d’étudier le projet d’Union économique et monétaire de l’Europe, et, plus lar- gement, sur la mise en œuvre du traité de Maastricht ? L’analyse, en replaçant la conception européenne de Valéry Giscard d’Estaing et d’Helmut Schmidt dans les débats des années 1980 et 1990 entre approches institutionnalistes et intégrationnistes, économistes et monéta- ristes, keynésianistes et ordolibérales, ou encore françaises et allemandes, met à jour les en- jeux du lobbyisme et de l’intégration économique dans le processus de construction euro- péenne.

The transition to the final phase of Economic and Monetary Union will involve ending the currency association with Belgium since all the functions of the association and the rules laid down thereby will have been absorbed by the European Monetary Union. 2. By virtue of the Treaty on European Union and, particularly, the Treaty establishing the European Community, Title VI: 'Economic and Monetary Policy', the Member States are obliged to adapt their national legislation to the requirements for achieving EMU. Luxembourg law in this area comprises the law of 15 March 1979 on currency arrangements and the law of 20 May 1983 setting up the Institut monétaire luxembourgeois (IML) which has the powers of a central bank and constitutes a flexible structure for taking whatever pragmatic action needs to be taken in response to needs as they arise in a changing monetary environment.

THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC INTEREST GROUPING AND THE HARMONIZATION OF THE NATIONAL COMPANY LAWS Johan de Bruycker* I. INTRODUCTION Upon the emergence of the European Economic Community (EC or EEC) in 1957,' the Commission of the European Community and the respective business communities realized that the existing differ- ences between the company laws of each signatory nation formed a barrier against the creation of a Common Market as prescribed in the Treaty of Rome. 2 The creation of a Common Market mandates that companies be able to easily engage in transnational transactions * Attorney, DeBandt, Van Hecke & Lagae, Brussels, Belgium.

I The Treaty of Rome establishing the European Economic Community (EEC) was signed on March 25, 1957 and went into effect on January 1, 1958. The six signatory countries were the Federal Republic of Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, and The Netherlands. Treaty Establishing the European Economic Community, Mar. 25, 1957, 298 U.N.T.S. 3 [hereinafter EEC Treaty]. 2 The basic principles creating the Common Market as expressed in article 2 of the Treaty of Rome have been reaffirmed in the Single European Act. See 30 O.J. EuR. Com. (No. L 169) 1 (1987) [hereinafter Single European Act]. Article 2 of the EEC Treaty provides: It shall be the aim of the Community, by establishing a Common Market and progressively approximating the economic policies of Member States, to promote throughout the Community a harmonious development of ec- onomic activities, a continuous and balanced expansion, an increase in stability, an accelerated raising of the standard of living and closer relations between its Member States.
