Grey Litterature

The « Centre d’analyse stratégique », the strategic analysis think-tank that is part of the French Prime Minister’s cabinet, published the report of the working group presided by Christian Stoffaës on the theme of « La securité gazière en Europe : de la dépendance à l’indépendance » (The Security of Natural Gas Supply in Europe : from dependence to independence). This report highlights the fact that Europe is in danger, in the long run, of not having access to enough gas and of becoming overly-dependent on its foreign suppliers. Europe must therefore establish policies to reduce and modify its natural gas consumption, and establish energy partnerships with Russia, North Africa, and finally, the Middle East. Europe must realise that competition is nothing more than a means to an end and must implement a true Regulation of the energy sector, in order to create secure conditions that avoid energy crises. Risk management can be achieved by creating emergency reserves; through the regulation of transport network infrastructures; and a renewed ‘energy solidarity’ using the interconnections at member states’ borders. Thereby, Europe will evolve from dependency to independency, which will ensure its natural gas security despite its insufficient supply

Translated Summaries

In The Journal of Regulation the summaries’ translation are done by the Editors and not by the authors


ENGLISH

The debate on Net Neutrality faces a major difficulty, namely that of its legal status: does there exist a “legal principle”—meaning a rule somewhere within the entire body of law—with mandatory force that could be used to counter infrastructure operators’ discriminatory practices?

 

FRENCH

Le débat sur la neutralité du Net fait face à une difficulté majeure, à savoir son statut juridique: existe-t-il un «principe juridique», qui exprime une règle dans l’ensemble du système juridique - avec une force obligatoire qui pourrait être utilisée pour contrer les pratiques discriminatoires des opérateurs d’ infrastructure ?


SPANISH

El debate sobre la Neutralidad de la Red se enfrenta a una gran dificultad, primordialmente en cuanto a su estatus legal: ¿realmente existe un “principio legal” – es decir, una regla que se encuentra dentro de la disciplina del derecho – con fuerza mandataria que podría ser usado para enfrentar a las prácticas discriminatorios que practican los operadores de infraestructura?


ITALIAN

Il dibattito sulla neutralità della rete si trova di fronte ad una difficoltà rilevante dal punto di vista del suo fondamento giuridico: esiste una norma giuridica obbligatoria – intesa come una norma legale – che possa essere utilizzata contro le pratiche discriminatorie degli operatori?

Symposiums

ENGLISH

The Journal of Regulation’s annual symposium on March 17, 2011 examined the theme of Neutrality in systems of economic regulation. After preliminaries on the definition of neutrality and neutral action, which were the common theme linking all speakers’ contributions, the first part of the colloquium explored the general aspects of neutrality in regulated industries, such as the neutrality of standards or the relationship between neutrality and legal categories, impact studies, or procedural techniques. The second part of this event raised more specific points, such as the interference between neutrality and the globalization of regulated industries, the question of regulators’ neutrality, and of net neutrality that some regulators wish to raise to the level of a general principle.

El simposio anual de la Revista de Regulación que se llevó a cabo el 17 de marzo del 2011 examinó el tema de Neutralidad en sistemas económicos de regulación. Después de algunos preliminares sobre la definición de la neutralidad y la acción neutral, los cuales fueron temas comunes en las contribuciones de los diferentes actores presentes, la primera parte del coloquio exploró los aspectos generales de la neutralidad en las industrias reguladas, como la neutralidad de los estándares o la relación entre la neutralidad y las categorías legales, estudios de impacto, o técnicas de procedimiento. La segunda parte del evento alzó cuestiones específicas, como la interferencia entra la neutralidad y la globalización de industrias reguladas, la cuestión de la neutralidad de diferentes reguladores y la neutralidad de la red, lo cual algunos quieren alzar a nivel de principio general.
