In the United Kingdom, the election for the country’s 73 Members of the European Parliament will be held on Thursday 22 May 2014. The elections come at a crucial junction for UK-EU relations, and are likely to have far-reaching consequences for the UK’s relationship with the rest of Europe: a surge in support for the UK Independence Party (UKIP) could lead to a Britain that is increasingly dis-engaged from the EU policy-making process. In parallel, the current UK Government is also conducting a review of the EU’s powers and Prime Minister David Cameron has repeatedly pushed for a ‘repatriation’ of powers from the European to the national level. These long-term political developments aside, the elections will also have more direct and tangible consequences.

The objective of the Payments Council is to support the use of advanced, internationally compatible payment methods that are efficient for society as a whole. In its activities, the Payments Council puts particular emphasis on the security and reliability of payments, the availability and usability of payment services, and the efficiency of payment solutions.

  • The Eurozone Debt Crisis and the European Banking Union: "Hard Choices," "Intolerable Dilemmas," and the Question of Sovereignty
    THE INTERNATIONAL LAWYER A TRIANNUAL PUBLICATION OF THE ABA/SECTION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW The Eurozone Debt Crisis and the European Banking Union: "Hard Choices," "Intolerable Dilemmas," and the Question of Sovereignty EMILlos AVGOULEAS* AND DOUGLAS W. ARNER** I. Introduction*** The 2008 global financial crisis spread to most of the developed economies, including those of the European Union. Unfortunately, despite decades of effort to build a Single Financial Market, almost all EU jurisdictions lacked proper crisis resolution mechanisms, especially with respect to the cross-border dimensions of a global crisis.' This led to a threat of widespread bank failures in EU countries and near collapse of their financial systems. Today, in the wake of the Eurozone financial crisis and the recent Brexit vote, the EU is at a critical crossroads. It has to decide whether the road to recovery runs through closer integration of financial policies to follow recent centralization of bank supervision and resolution in the European Banking Union (EBU) or whether to take the path of fragmentation with a gradual return to controlled forms of protectionism in the pursuit of narrow national interest, although the latter is bound to endanger the single market. Therefore, the policy dilemmas facing the EU and contemporary institution building within the Eurozone provide a key window into the future of both global and regional financial integration. The complexity of the financial integration process and its significance means that it is impossible to understand contemporary developments within the EU leading up to the EBU without a discussion of the different forms of * Chair in International Banking Law and Finance, University of Edinburgh and Member of the European Banking Authority Stakeholder Group.
