    The Regulatory State and Financial Services

    Jörn-Carsten Gottwald Department of Political Science University of Trier / Germany Email: [email protected] The Regulatory State and Financial Services: An Appraisal of Recent Developments in the European Union Paper presented at the ECPR Conference Budapest 2005 Section: Regulation in the Age of Governance Panel 3 12: the European Regulatory State Preliminary Draft – please do not quote Abstract Since 1998 the regulation of financial services in the European Union has experienced dramatic changes. Following an initiative by representatives of the European Commission and some financial services enterprises the EU shaped and implemented a Financial Services Action Plan. Following the recommendations of a Committee of Wise Men chaired by Alexandrre de Lamfalussy the EU established a new regulatory framework with serious consequences for the distribution of power among major actors, the legitimacy of EU decision-making and the possibilities for member states to pursue their own regulatory policies. Based on a qualitative public choice interpretation of Giandomenico Majone’s regulatory state approach this paper analyses the new regulatory state and its impacts. It argues that as a result of a private initiative the Commission established herself and new comitology committees as major regulators. While national governments succeeded in safeguarding their position, the EP and especially the national legislative bodies suffered a loss of control and influence. Especially the organisations of statutory regulation have gained importance in the new regulatory state. While the Lamfalussy process brought a new level of transparency and new opportunities for the participation of non-state organisations in the arcane world of financial market regulation, its overall legitimacy remains questionable.

  • The Committee on Economic Cooperation and Development

    The Committee on Economic Cooperation and Development 2 “The central challenge in develop- ment cooperation is and remains for the state, businesses and society to work together to provide impe- tus to people in partner countries to help themselves. We can achieve this if we cooperate globally to bring about a shift away from short-term crisis management and towards a strategy of sustainable development. Local populations need to muster the creative power to make the most of their potential. The members of the Committee put their confidence in committed people who work to create a decent future in their home countries.” Dr Peter Ramsauer, CDU/CSU Chairman of the Committee on Economic Cooperation and Development 3 The German Bundestag’s decisions are prepared by its committees, which are estab- lished at the start of each elec- toral term. Four of them are stipulated by the Basic Law, the German constitution: the Committee on Foreign Affairs, the Defence Committee, the Committee on the Affairs of the European Union and the Petitions Committee. The Budget Committee and the Committee for the Rules of Procedure are also required by law. The spheres of respon- sibility of the committees essentially reflect the Federal Government’s distribution of ministerial portfolios. This enables Parliament to scruti- nise the government’s work effectively. The Bundestag committees The German Bundestag sets political priorities of its own by establishing additional committees for specific sub- jects, such as sport, cultural affairs or tourism. In addition, special bodies such as parlia- mentary advisory councils, The committees discuss and committees of inquiry or deliberate on items referred study commissions can also to them by the plenary.

Germany’s Reluctance Towards pan-European Banking Resolution by Annika Stahlhut (June 2014) Abstract In the recent two years the European Banking Union has been a chief project in European financial integration. Apart from European banking supervision and attempts to integrate deposit insurance on EU-level the member states have agreed to also harmonize the resolution of banks: A Single Resolution Mechanism (SRM) seeks to protect taxpayers in Europe from assuming the costs of resolution and to maintain financial stabilty in the internal market when banks are wound up. Although states have therefor charged the Commission to develop a common policy for banking resolution, Germany gains particular attention in European negotiations for objecting to the regulation establishing a single framework. Newspapers report that the German finance minister has announced to block the resolution mechanism (Schäfers, 2014, January 21), for which he is criticized sharply – even by parties on domestic level. It therefore seems as if domestic opinions on European banking resolution depart substantially wherefore the German position appears worth for an in-depth study. To this end European integration of banking resolution is embedded into the theoretical framework of liberal intergovernmentalism that provides for a liberal theory on national preference formation.

    Who Is Who in Impeding Climate Protection

    Who is Who in Impeding Climate Protection Links between politics and the energy industry The short route to climate collapse The UK meteorological offi ce forecast at the very beginning of the year that 2007 would be the warmest year since weather records began being made. The scientists there estimated that the global average temperature would be 0.54 degrees above the 14 degree average experienced over many years. The record so far, an average of 14.52 degrees, is held by 1998. 2005, which was similarly warm, went into the meteorologists’ record books on reaching an average of 14.65 degrees in the northern hemisphere. Findings made by the German meteorological service also confi rm the atmosphere to be warming. Shortly before the beginning of 2007 the service reported that the year 2006 had been one of the warmest years since weather records began being made in 1901, and the month of July had been the hottest ever since then. An average of 9.5 degrees was 1.3 degrees Celsius above the long-term average of 8.2 degrees. International climate experts are agreed that the global rise in temperature must stay below two degrees Celsius if the effects of climate change are to remain controllable. But the time corridor for the effective reduction of greenhouse gases damaging to the climate is getting narrower and narrower. In the last century already the Earth’s average temperature rose by 0.8 degrees. The experts in the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change anticipate a further rise of up to 6.4 degrees by 2100.

Der Deutsche Bundestag stellt fest: 1. Zu den Aufgaben des Goethe-Instituts: Das Goethe-Institut ist eine der wichtigsten Mittlerorganisationen der deutschen Auswärtigen Kultur- und Bildungspolitik. Seine weltweite Präsenz mit 144 Ins- tituten in 80 Ländern, davon 129 im Ausland steht für ein umfangreiches und wertvolles Kontaktnetz und gibt der deutschen Kultur im Ausland sowohl ein „Gesicht“ als auch eine Plattform. Das Goethe-Institut vertritt und vermittelt die Tradition und die Gegenwart der deutschen Kultur in ihren vielfältigen Aspekten und Fassetten. Die jetzige Infrastruktur des Goethe-Instituts ist das Ergebnis von über 50 Jahren beharrlicher Aufbauleistung. Im Mittelpunkt der Tätigkeit stehen die an Deutschland, seiner Sprache und seiner Kultur interessierten Menschen. Dieses Interesse zu wecken, zu fördern und zu befriedigen ist die erste und wichtigste Aufgabe des Goethe-Instituts.
