Main information
On December 10, 2010, the Commission de Régulation de l’Energie (CRE – French Commission for Energy Regulation) and the Autorité des marches financiers (French Securities Regulator – the AMF) entered into a memorandum of understanding (the MoU). Cooperation between these two sector based regulators is, for the most part, set against the background of, and aims at, a better (or, rather, burgeoning) regulation of the market for CO2 emission allowances and is grounded in the following principles: - both regulators undertake to transmit information necessary to fulfilling each other’s respective expanded legal mandate, i.e.: o protecting investments made in CO2 emission allowances (e.g. by detecting and punishing market abuses, i.e. insider trading, market manipulations, dissemination of false information) for the AMF and; o overseeing transactions made by market participants on the spot and derivatives markets for CO2 emission allowances to make sure that such transactions are in line with transactions made on the markets for electricity and natural gas for the CRE; - such mutual information is to notably take the form of regular bilateral meetings at various levels and mutual information may now cover data that the AMF had to keep confidential due to strict legal privilege restrictions applicable to its officers.

Artículo: Asegurando una efectiva orientación de costes: El enfoque de Ofcom en las repagas de sobrecargos.
La orientación de costes puede verse como una obligación natural en casos involucrando el acceso a una facilidad esencial perteneciendo a un operador dominante, tal operado habiendo generalmente heredado una facilidad desarrollada a lo largo de algunas décadas (o quizá siglos) por el Estado (y por lo tanto financiado por pagadores de impuestos) y habiendo gozado de un largo periodo como monopolio antes del abrimiento del respectivo mercado a la competencia. Esto ha sido el caso en una multitud de sectores, como el de energía, transporte y, por supuesto, telecomunicaciones.
