Forum of Federations 75 Albert Street, Suite 411 Ottawa, Ontario (Canada) K1P 5E7 Tel: (613) 244-3360 Fax: (613) 244-3372 [email protected] Bending the Constitution: The new Regulation of Intergovernmental Fiscal Relations in Germany 3 Introduction On June 1 and 2, 2017, the German federal parliament adopted a set of new regulations, scheduled to take effect in 2020, reforming the intergovernmental fiscal relationship between the federation and the 16 federal states — called Länder — in Germany. These new regulations initiate sweeping change to the federal structure of the constitution.1 On July 13 and August 17, 2017, the new laws were published in the federal law gazette,2 despite concerns expressed by Federal President Frank Steinmeier in a letter to the Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel.3 At the heart of this reform is a profound change in the fiscal constitution, from its traditional horizontal arrangement among the Länder towards a vertical one. The history of German federalism, since 1949, has been characterized as a “unitary federal state,” which is how it was originally described in 1962 by Konrad Hesse.4 Over time, the Länder have often been willing to hand over legislative powers to the federal government, normally in exchange for the right to share decision-making via the Bundesrat.

  • Really Blocking a Banking Union? Germany’S Reluctance Towards Pan-European Banking Resolution
    Name Annika Maria Petra Stahlhut University 1 University of Twente Enschede Universiteit Twente, UT UT Faculty School of Management & Governance UT Supervisor Dr. Shawn Donnelly UT Diploma MSc European Studies University 2 Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster WWU Faculty Institut für Politikwissenschaft WWU Supervisor Prof. Dr. Oliver Treib WWU Diploma MA European Studies Start of Thesis March 1st, 2014 End of Thesis June 21st, 2014 MASTERTHESIS EUROPEAN STUDIES Really Blocking a Banking Union? 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.
