This book focuses on the enforcement of EU financial law on the national
and supra-national levels. Emphasis is laid on the interaction between
the EU and national levels (vertical interaction), as well as between
the private, administrative, and criminal law levels (horizontal
interaction). The book takes a multi-jurisdiction and inter-disciplinary
approach and covers a range of issues that are highly topical, such as
the new EU Anti-Money Laundering regime, and the ReNEUAL model for
administrative law.
Over the last few decades, EU financial law has grown exponentially.
Virtually all these new rules and regulations require enforcement.
However, the EU legislator generally has been reluctant to regulate
enforcement at the national level, and often does not prescribe whether
enforcement should take place through national criminal, administrative,
or private law. This results in both practical and fundamental questions
for the legal practitioner and the academic. This book addresses those
questions.
With contributions by leading academics and senior members of EU and
national institutions, the book will be of interest to professionals
dealing with financial law in their daily practice such as lawyers,
bankers, policy makers, officers at supervisory authorities, and judges,
but also for academics interested in fundamental questions of
interaction between legal systems.
