They are obtaining a new fiscal compact, which requires very strict rules on government deficits and agreed on a close coordination of our national economic policies, notably though the "European semester" including a collective right to review the annual budget of each Member State before it is finalised.

The implementation of a joint service on Insurance, Banking, and Insurance within the ‘Autorité de Contrôle prudential – ACP’ (French Prudential Control Authority), raises questions as to the way in which the service will be coordinated with the ‘Autorité des marchés financiers – AMF’ (French financial markets authority’s) other activities. The signature of the agreement creating the new joint service was the occasion for Jean-Pierre Jouyet, President of the AMF, to clarify that this joint service’s principal goal is consumer protection. The coordination between the AMF and the ACP is intended to improve efficiency and credibility to further this goal.
Net Neutrality first became news in the United States just after the year 2000. The issue arose when the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) took decisions regarding conflicts between Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and cable operators. The FCC's decisions focused on ensuring non discriminatory conditions for ISP's access to the Internet communications market using existing cable networks. These issues became the basis of the debate on Internet users' rights, namely their right to freely access the content and services of their choice. On September 25, 2005 the FCC published a policy statement recognizing these issues, and clearly defined four main principles for Network Neutrality.

La Neutralité du Net : une perspective économique
La neutralité du Net apparu aux États-Unis au tout début des années 2000. Les problèmes ont surgi lorsque la "Federal Communications Commission -FCC" (Commission fédérale en charge des communications) a dû prendre des décisions concernant les conflits entre les fournisseurs d'accès Internet (ISP) et les opérateurs de réseaux cablés. Les décisions de la FCC étaient axées sur la garantie du caractère non discriminatoire des conditions d'accès des fournisseurs de services sur le marché des communications sur Internet via les réseaux câblés. Ces questions ont servi de base au débat sur les droits des utilisateurs d'Internet, à savoir leur droit d'accès aux contenus et aux services de leur choix. Le 25 Septembre 2005, la FCC a publié une déclaration de principe reconnaissant ces questions, et clairement définie autour de quatre grands principes.

Die Netzneutralität: eine wirtschaftliche Perspektive
Die Netzneutralität ist in den Vereinigten Staaten im Beginn den Jahren 2000 entstanden. Die erste Problemen sind entstanden, als die Federal Communications Commission (FCC - die amerikanische Bundeskommunikationsbehörde) Entscheidungen über Widerstreite zwischen Internetdienstanbieter und Kabeloperatoren treffen sollte. Diese Entscheidungen bestanden darauf, dass die Internetdienstanbieter durch Kabelnetzwerke Zugang zum Markt ohne Benachteiligung erhalten. Diese Fragen haben zufolge die Diskussionen über den Zugang den Internetsverbrauchern zu bestimmten Inhalten und Diensten hervorgebracht. Am 25. September 2005 hat die FCC eine Grundsatzerklärung über diese Fragen veröffentlicht, und hat vier Hauptprinzipien für die Netzneutralität dargelegt.

Άρθρο: Ουδετερότητα του Δικτύου: μια οικονομική προοπτική
Η ουδετερότητα των δικτύων έγινε για πρώτη φορά γνωστή στις ΗΠΑ αμέσως μετά το 2000. Το ζήτημα ανέκυψε όταν η Ομοσπονδιακή Επιτροπή Τηλεπικοινωνιών (FCC) έλαβε αποφάσεις σχετικά με διαφορές μεταξύ των Παρόχων Υπηρεσιών Internet και των φορέων καλωδιακής τηλεόρασης. Οι αποφάσεις της Ομοσπονδιακής Επιτροπής Τηλεπικοινωνιών έδωσαν έμφαση στη διασφάλιση ύπαρξης μη διακριτικών όρων πρόσβασης των παρόχων υπηρεσιών Διαδικτύου στην αγορά τηλεπικοινωνιών Internet, με τη χρήση των υπαρχόντων καλωδιακών δικτύων. Τα θέματα αυτά αποτέλεσαν τη βάση της συζήτησης αναφορικά με τα δικαιώματα των χρηστών Internet, και συγκεκριμένα του δικαιώματός τους για ελεύθερη πρόσβαση στο περιεχόμενο και τις υπηρεσίες της επιλογής τους. Στις 25 Σεπτεμβρίου 2005, η Ομοσπονδιακή Αρχή Τηλεπικοινωνιών δημοσίευσε μια δήλωση πολιτικής, αναγνωρίζοντας τα θέματα αυτά και ορίζοντας παράλληλα ξεκάθαρα τέσσερις γενικές αρχές σχετικά με την Ουδετερότητα του Δικτύου.

Neutralność Internetu : Perspektywa ekonomiczna
Neutralność Internetu pojawiła się jako nowy temat w Stanach Zjednocznych w 2000 roku. Problemy dały o sobie znać w momencie, kiedy « Federal Communications Commission –FCC » (amerykańska federalna komisja do spraw komunikacji) musiała podjąć decyzje rozwiązujące spory pomiędzy dostawcami dostępu do internetu (ISP) i operatorami sieci kablowych. Decyzje FCC dotyczyły zagwarantowania warunków, które nie dyskryminują dostawców usług na rynek kommuikacji internetowej, korzystających z dostępu do internetu za pomocą sieci kablowych. Te kwestie stały się podłożem debaty o prawach użytkowników Internetu ; mianowicie o prawie do wolnego dostępu do wybranych treści i usług. W dniu 25 września 2005 roku FCC opublikowałapodstawową deklarację rozwiązując i uznając te kwestie, określając przy tym wyraźnie cztery główne zasady neutralności Internetu.

The Libor is the rate of the interbank market practised in the United Kingdom. A large number of financial operations are based on it. So far, its daily development is grounded on a declaratory system on the part of the banks. Since the conviction of Barclays on June 27, 2012 by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) and the general suspicion that a very great banks have contributed to manipulations of the Libor, the relevance of the system itself is questioned.
While investigations and prosecutions was put in place for the past in all countries, British Government give to the Financial Services Authority (FSA) study of reform of a Libor, either to detach itself from a declaratory system, or to keep an eye on it and internalize effective sanctions. The report, which will serve as a basis for the reform will be made the end of September 2012.
The French Rail Regulator entrusts a public undertaking, RFF ("Réseau Ferré de France"), the management of the railway infrastructure. It must therefore enter into contracts with the railway undertakings to have rail transportation. European laws provide that these contracts must follow on the one hand, the specific legal provisions, and on the other hand the "network statement ". In addition, framework agreements determine the distribution of the allocation of capacity of the infrastructure between transport undertakings, schedules and prices. The regulator must give a reasoned opinion on these agreements. The notice is only optional, binding neither the State nor the parties. RFF ("Réseau Ferré de France") has developed a project of framework agreement and transmitted it to the autorité française de régulation des activités ferroviaires (ARAF) – (French Rail Regulator). It has chosen to open on 17 April a public consultation, with on its website the project of framework agreement, allowing any stakeholders to express themselves on the duration, pricing, transparency and confidentiality, and also the contractual balance of such an agreement. The consultation will be closed on 4 June and the autorité française de régulation des activités ferroviaires (ARAF) – (French Rail Regulator) will then deliver its opinion.
