Book Synopsis Regulation Through Agencies in the EU by : Damien Geradin
Download or read book Regulation Through Agencies in the EU written by Damien Geradin and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past decade has witnessed a proliferation of regulatory agencies at both the national and the EU level. This coherent and clearly structured book is the first of its kind to analyse in equal measure, and interdependently, both national regulatory authorities and European agencies. It brings together a select group of highly esteemed contributors - authorities in their fields - to provide a systematic and over-arching view of regulation in the EU. Unlike many of the previous attempts to shed light on this increasingly opaque and complex co-existence of regulatory systems, this book takes a genuinely multi-disciplinary approach with integrated perspectives from law, politics and economics.
Book Synopsis Controllers, Profiteers Or Enablers? by : Martin Robert Jan Weinrich
Download or read book Controllers, Profiteers Or Enablers? written by Martin Robert Jan Weinrich and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 37 EU agencies are a sizable part of the EU's multi-level administration. Created in negotiations between the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union, these semi-independent bodies contain intergovernmental, supranational and transnational characteristics. EU agencies are networked bodies: not only the European Commission, but also national authorities are omnipresent on their management boards and in their working groups. Because of their voting majority on management boards and in EU agencies' working groups, national officials' behaviour can determine EU agencies' output. While the Commission pursues a clear supranational agenda, the role of national representatives remains ambiguous: Often detached from direct domestic political control and - at least in theory - accountability-holders of EU agencies, national representatives have incentives to control EU agencies, align their work with their domestic one or co-create EU-level solutions. This thesis addresses the question, when the behaviour of national officials promotes intergovernmental, bureaucratic or transnational interests in EU agencies. Empirically, the thesis proceeds in three steps. First, it develops a typology of EU agencies according to their main activities and classifies all 37 agencies into four categories: authorisation, regulation, implementation and information agency. Second, it maps the formal, de jure role of national representatives in all 37 agencies' governance structure on the basis of their founding regulations. This mapping exercise shows that the stronger the formal competences of an agency, the stronger is the position of national representatives in an agency's governance set-up. Moreover, the mapping reveals variation across the four agency types. Building upon these findings, the study selects four EU agencies that cover the variance in formal governance set-ups for in-depth case studies on national representatives' behaviour: the European Environment Agency as an information agency, the European Maritime Safety Agency as an authorisation agency, the European Maritime Safety Agency as an implementation agency and the European Banking Authority as a regulatory agency. On the basis of 47 semi-structured interviews with 53 national and Commission representatives as well as agency officials, the final part of the study illustrates that different governance set-ups have only a mediating influence on the interests, national representatives promote in EU agencies. Across the entire variance of formal structures, national representatives safeguard their bureaucratic interest, especially where they risk being overburdened by the administrative consequences of EU agency decisions. Only in salient agencies, intergovernmental control concerns play a significant role. Primarily, however, national representatives create synergies between their domestic work and EU agencies' work. Even though this is likewise motivated by bureaucratic interests, it contributes to the expansion of EU agencies tasks and a further centralisation of the EU's multi-level administration. Moreover, national representatives value the learning opportunities that EU agencies provide and in case of different opinion with the Commission or other national representatives prefer to invest time in finding consensual solutions instead of blocking further action. Thereby, national representatives across all four cases do not only represent exogenous, domestic preferences but also transnational interests, endogenous to the specific environment around each EU agency. These findings indicate that national representatives both constrain and enable EU agencies. Their bureaucratic turf and reputational interests set the boundary at which they begin to oppose further EU agency measures. Their interest in efficient workflows and coordination as well as their genuine interest in EU-wide solutions, on the other hand, enables EU agencies to perform and occasionally expand the scope of their actions.
Download or read book EU Agencies written by Merijn Chamon and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-06-02 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last two decades, EU legislation has established a growing number of subsidiary bodies commonly referred to as EU decentralised agencies. Recent years have witnessed the conferral of increasingly significant powers to these bodies to the point where the successful implementation of many of the EU's policies is now dependent upon the activities of EU agencies. While EU agencies have become indispensable in terms of their practical importance, the lack of a legal basis in the EU Treaties to establish and empower new bodies as well as the lack of an adequate framework in secondary law means that there exists little control over EU agencies. This results in critical issues, such as the absence of clear criteria prescribing when an agency may be empowered to act and also the failure to consider the interests of the actors normally responsible for the implementation of EU law, such as the Member States and the Commission. Providing the first comprehensive overview of the development of agencification in the EU, this book explores the question: What are the political and legal limits to EU agencification? Analysing EU agencies from an institutional and constitutional perspective, the book traces the development of EU agencies, explores the different tasks they perform, investigates the limits to agencification, and discusses the legal basis for such agencies.
Book Synopsis The Political Accountability of EU and US Independent Regulatory Agencies by : Miroslava Scholten
Download or read book The Political Accountability of EU and US Independent Regulatory Agencies written by Miroslava Scholten and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2015-01-27 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Political Accountability of EU and US Independent Regulatory Agencies is an in-depth investigation on the law and practices of the political accountability arrangements of the 35 EU and 16 US independent agencies. The comparative analysis demonstrates similarities between the political accountability arsenals and challenges to political oversight in the EU and the US. The greatest differences are revealed in the organization of the political accountability of independent agencies, i.e., ‘excessive diversity in the EU vs. uniformity in the US’, and the design of accountability obligations. Based on comparative insights, the book concludes with three recommendations on how the EU agencies’ political accountability could be adjusted in the ongoing reform on agencies’ creation and operation.

This book was released on 2020-11-30 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a wealth of empirical material to understand key aspects of EU governance including its plurality of actors and policy making modes and its functioning during crisis management. Authored by legal scholars and political scientists, it presents new research and insights on the role of EU agencies in the context of the Euro and migration crises. Specifically, the contributions assess why the crises have led to the creation of new EU agencies and what roles these agencies have performed since their inception; how the crisis, notably the migration crisis, has impacted on existing EU agencies; how EU agencies have shaped the policies during and after the crises; and, how the crisis has affected the accountability of EU agencies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid proliferation of EU agencies represents one of the most significant changes to the EU’s organisational set-up in past decades. At the same time, this development has significantly affected regulatory policy-making in the EU. This volume assembles the most renowned scholars in the field to address the key themes and challenges that agency governance in the EU poses to effective and legitimate policy-making.

Second, once agencies are established, the book goes on to explore the consequences and trajectories of agency governance. How effective and autonomous are EU agencies? How does EU agency governance transform existing patterns of executive governance in the EU? Third, the book addresses the design of EU agencies as independent, non-majoritarian institutions poses pressing questions with a view to their legitimacy and accountability. The volume appeals to scholars and practitioners interested in the development and transformation of executive governance in the EU.

Book Synopsis European Agencies in Between Institutions and Member States by : Michelle Everson
Download or read book European Agencies in Between Institutions and Member States written by Michelle Everson and published by Kluwer Law International. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite concerted efforts in recent years to define the position of agencies in the Union framework, a clear overall view of their role and powers in relation to the EU institutions and to the Member States is still lacking. Their hybrid character as part of the composite EU executive, and the fact that increasing powers are delegated to them, makes an understanding of the efficacy and accountability of agencies ever more important. Benefitting from both academic and practitioner insights from law, political and social sciences, this important book offers an in-depth analysis of the current challenges surrounding European agencies in terms of their design, autonomy, supervisory competence, and legal nature. Among the topics covered are the following: realities of the accountability mechanisms currently in place; impact of agency acts on the EU's institutional balance of powers; agencies as global actors acting on behalf of Member States and EU external relations; agencies derived from former networks of national regulators; non-hierarchical 'par' nature of agencies vis-à-vis corresponding national authorities; agencies as crucial amalgams between EU institutions and Member States; effect of the Meroni doctrine; new financial supervisory agencies resulting from recent economic and financial crises; special role of telecommunications agencies; and intricacies of the relationship between agencies and the European Parliament. Because EU agencies are designed to facilitate the implementation of EU law at the national level, powers are increasingly conferred on them in order to ensure that rules are enforced effectively and uniformly. The time has come, however, to confront the many questions of legality and constitutionality that remain. This book responds to the vital as to the role and powers of agencies in relation to their manifold 'principals', the EU institutions and the Member States, and lays a firm foundation for managing the challenges ahead.
Book Synopsis Delegation of Powers in the EU Legal System by : Annalisa Volpato
Download or read book Delegation of Powers in the EU Legal System written by Annalisa Volpato and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-03-29 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The majority of rules adopted at the EU level are not issued by democratically elected institutions, but rather by administrative bodies which are empowered to exercise rule-making powers by legislative acts. This book analyses the legal mechanism through which these powers are conferred on the most relevant bodies in the EU institutional landscape, namely the European Commission, the Council, the ECB and EU agencies, and the democratic controls in place to limit and oversee the exercise of these powers. Providing an overarching perspective of the delegation of powers, this book reflects on the notion of delegation and on the commonalities between the different forms of delegation identified. It focuses on the legal requirements and limits for the delegating act, the procedures for the exercise of such powers, the position of the acts in the hierarchy of norms, and their judicial review. Overcoming the fragmentation which characterized the development of the different forms of delegation in the EU, this analysis provides a clear, structured, and coherent picture of the legal framework for the delegation of powers in the light of the constitutional principles of this legal system. Academics and practitioners will equally appreciate this highly accessible addition to the current debate in legal scholarship of the delegation of powers in the EU, as well as its explanations on comitology and the empowerment of EU agencies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EU law and governance have faced a new development – the proliferation of EU enforcement authorities, which have grown in number over the last 15 years. These entities, either acting alone or together with national enforcement authorities, have been investigating and sanctioning private actors on their compliance with EU law. Law Enforcement by EU Authorities investigates whether the system of control (in terms of both judicial and political accountability) has evolved to support the new system of law enforcement in the EU.
Book Synopsis European Union Agencies as Global Actors by : Florin Coman-Kund
Download or read book European Union Agencies as Global Actors written by Florin Coman-Kund and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines a largely unexplored dimension of the European agencies, namely their role in EU external relations and on the international plane. International cooperation has become a salient feature of EU agencies triggering important legal questions regarding the scope and limits of their international dimension, the nature and effects of their international cooperation instruments, their status within the EU and on the global level, and leading potentially to tensions between EU law and international law. This book fills the existing knowledge gap by scrutinizing the international cooperation legal framework and practice of EU agencies, including their mandate, tasks and instruments, together with their legal status as actors with a global dimension. It sets out a general legal-analytical framework which combines legal parameters from EU and international law to assess EU agencies as global actors, and examines in detail three case studies on carefully selected agencies to shed light on the complexities of EU agencies’ daily international cooperation.

This book was released on 2016-02-12 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As EU non-majoritarian bodies such as the European Commission, the Court of Justice of the European Union, and the European Central Bank grow in political influence, many have identified the pressing need to keep these bodies accountable to the repositories of the EU's democratic legitimacy. This collection of essays sheds light on the inherent tension between independence and legitimacy in the EU's institutional system and explores the options of reconciling the two. Featuring analysis from both legal and political perspectives, the volume assesses whether, to what extent, and how it is possible to control the various EU independent bodies and make them answerable for what they do, while at the same time upholding their independence.
