Thematic Report (Media): The French Competition Authority orders the separation of TPS / Canalsatellite and VIVENDI / Canal + following infringement of the terms of their prior merger clearance
On September 20, 2011, the Autorité de la Concurrence (French Competition Authority) examined whether VIVENDI, Universal, and Canal + had respected the remedies they had made in order to obtain merger clearance during their acquisition of TPS and Canalsatellite. This clearance had been granted by the Minister of the Economy on August 30, 2006, on the condition that remedies be made by the acquirers. In 2009, the Competition Authority unilaterally decided to review whether these remedies were kept. Its decision of 2011 ruled that certain remedies were not kept and ordered the breakup of the new entity and the payment of a fine. In doing so, the Competition Authority behaves as though it were a regulator.

Relazione tematica (Mass-media): L’autorità francese garante della concorrenza ha ordinato la separazione di TPS/Canalsatellite e VIVENDI/Canal + per violazione degli impegni presi nella precedente autorizzazione di fusione
Il 20 settembre 2011 la “Autorité de la Concurrence” (l’autorità francese garante della concorrenza) ha verificato se VIVENDI, Universal e Canal + avevano rispettato gli impegni presi per ottenere la precedente autorizzazione di fusione durante l’acquisto di TPS e Canalsatellite. Questa autorizzazione era stata concesso dal Ministro dell’Economia durante il mese di Agosto 2006, sulla base degli impegni presi dalle società. Nel 2009, l’autorità garante della concorrenza ha unilateralmente deciso di verificare se questi impegni erano stati rispettati. Nella sua decisione del 2011, l’autorità ha deciso che alcuni di questi impegni non erano stati rispettati ed ha ordinato lo scioglimento della nuova entità ed il pagamento di una multa. Così facendo, l’autorità garante della concorrenza si comporta come un’autorità di regolazione.

It is believed that the lexical distinction between two words necessarily involves the allusion to two different things. In this view, economic regulation differs from financial regulation. Based on what financial regulation is, which is not reduced to an addition of rules and regulations but is a set of mechanisms, institutions, decisions, principles and rules revolving around risk, competition law could be used as a means for financial regulation, although it is usually solely applied to ordinary markets of goods and services. But a new ambiguity has surfaced between financial regulation and economic regulation. Therefore, a wall between economic regulation and financial regulation cannot be built on the single difference between the “economic sector” such as the market of goods and services, and the “financial sector”. A more sophisticated partition could take into account the notion of « individual risk ».
GERMAN
Der Unterschied zwischen wirtschaftliche und finanzielle Regulierung.
Normalerweise weist ein lexikalischer Unterschied zwischen zwei Wörter darauf hin, dass man von zwei verschiedene Sachen spricht. Also sind die wirtschaftliche und die finanzielle Regulierung unterschiedlich. Die finanzielle Regulierung ist nicht eine ledigliche Addition von Gesetzen und Anordnungen, sondern eine Zusammenstellung von Mechanismen, Institutionen, Entscheidungen, Prinzipien und regeln, die sich mit dem Thema Risiko beschäftigen. Anhand dieser Tatsache könnte das Wettbewerbsrecht, das normalerweise erst für gewöhnlichen Waren- und Dienstleistungenmärkte gebraucht ist, auch im finanziellen Bereich Anwendung finden. Jetzt aber hat sich eine neue Zweideutigkeit zwischen wirtschaftlicher und finanzieller Regulierung entwickelt. Infolgedessen kann eine Begrenzung zwischen beide Regulierungen nicht nur aufgrund den Unterschied zwischen dem wirtschaftlichen (wie z.B. der Güter- und Dienstleistungensmarkt) und dem finanziellen Sektor. Eine anspruchsvollere Unterscheidung könnte den Begriff "individuellen Risiko" integrieren.
SPANISH
La distinción entre la Regulación económica y la Regulación financiera.
Se cree que la distinción léxica entre dos palabras necesariamente involucra la alusión a dos cosas. Teniendo esto en cuenta, la regulación económica difiere de la regulación financiera. Basándonos en lo que es la regulación financiera, lo cual no se reduce a una simple adición de reglas y regulaciones pero por lo contrario está compuesta por una serie de mecanismos, instituciones, decisiones, principios y reglas que dependen del riesgo, se podría decir que la ley de la competencia puede ser utilizado para la regulación financiera, aunque normalmente solo se aplica a mercados ordinario de bienes y servicios. Pero una nueva ambigüedad se ha dado entre la regulación financiera y la regulación económica. Por lo tanto, es imposible construir una pared entre la regulación económica y la regulación financiera basado simplemente en la diferencia entre el ‘sector financiero’ como lo es el mercado de bienes y servicios y el sector financiero. Una partición más sofisticada podría tomar en cuenta la noción del “riesgo individual.”

The Law of Compliance is a branch of law so recent that some still doubt its very existence.
This paper does not take up this question again, nor that so often evoked of the "definition" of the Compliance and the Law that goes, nor the issue of the translation which is appropriate for it.
The purpose of the reflection is rather to observe the movement that started from the requirements of specific sectoral Law, such as Financial Law and Banking Law, which undeniably correspond to "sectors", the Law of Compliance being the extension of the Law of Regulation, an extension that metamorphoses it, extending beyond the regulated sectors.

ENGLISH
On May 20, 2011, a colloquium was held in Paris on the question of How should the Audit be regulated?, organized by The Journal of Regulation, l’Ecole de droit de la Sorbonne, and KPMG France, one of the Journal’s privileged partners. The participants were Jean-Luc Decornoy, Nathalie de Basaldua, Alain Couret, Marie-Anne Frison-Roche, Christine Thin, Stephen Haddrill, Claude Cazes, Etienne Wasmer, and Mara Cameran. The reflections and discussions bore upon the European Commission’s Green Paper on Audit Policy. The colloquium’s ambition was to discuss the methodological links that must guide the future of the Audit, both in relation to financial regulation and competition, and also to analyze what the inspirations for audit reform should be, especially by using the available economic studies. Each participant agreed that the most important goal was to ensure that the audit is of very high quality, and everything ought to converge towards this goal.

Relazione bibliografica (Convegno): Vers quelle régulation de l’audit faut-il aller? (Come dovrebbe essere regolato l’audit ?)
Il 20 maggio 2011, si è tenuto a Parigi un convegno sulla questione di come dovrebbe essere regolato l’audit, organizzato da The Journal of Regulation, da l’Ecole de droit de la Sorbonne e KPMG France, partner privilegiato della rivista. I partecipanti erano Jean-Luc Decornoy, Nathalie de Basaldua, Alain Couret, Marie-Anne Frison-Roche, Christine Thin, Stephen Haddrill, Claude Cazes, Etienne Wasmer e Mara Cameran. Le riflessioni e le discussioni si sono concentrate sul Libro Verde della Commissione europea sulla politica in materia di audit. L’ambizione del convegno era di studiare i nessi metodologici che devono costituire le linee guida dell’audit, tenendo conto della regolazione finanziare e della libera concorrenza. Il convegno mirava inoltre ad analizzare le possibili piste di una riforma dell’audit, sulla base anche di studi di tipo economico. Ogni partecipante ha sottolineato che lo scopo più importante era quello di assicurare un’attività di audit di grande qualità, e che tutti gli sforzi dovrebbero convergere verso tale scopo.

书目报告(灰色文献):知识经济中的专利交易(The Patent Markets in Knowledge Economy)
有关专利交易在知识经济中的报告致力于专利“商品化”新模式的发展(例如经纪人利用电子平台介入拍卖活动),从而引导一个组织程度和开放程度更高的交易市场。但在对专利估价之前,伴随这些新方式所显露的问题却是现实存在的并且是不应被忽视的。尽管现有的专利市场必将走上积极主动的道路,然而,对于本报告的作者们来说,我们现在所处国家的不稳定因素需要当局的足够重视。法国和欧洲(欧洲标准是不可避免的)应当注意这一问题。对于从业者而言,新的尝试应当得到鼓励,新的增值形式应当得以发展。同时专利制度应当被重新构建从而确保高质量的专利给付。总之,报告的作者要求当局对于这些问题给予“持续关注”。

Informe bibliográfico (Literatura Gris): Los mercados de patentes en la economía del conocimiento (The Patent Markets in Knowledge Economy)
El informe Los mercados de patentes en la economía del conocimiento se enfoca en el desarrollo de nuevas formas de patentes de "commoditización" (vendidos en subastas, por intervención de agentes, plataformas electrónicas...) que llevan a un mercado más estructurado y abierto. Las dificultades liadas al surgimiento de esos nuevos instrumentos, primordialmente, la tasación de los patentes, son reales y no deberían de ser ignoradas. Sin embargo, para los autores del informe, el estado de gran incertitud en la cual nos encontramos ahora implica la necesidad de que las autoridad actúen con cautela, pero a pesar de esto, las oportunidades que presentan estos diferentes Mercados de Patentes deberán a la misma vez llevar a una postura positiva y proactiva. Francia y Europa (el nivel europeo es imperativo) deberán de estar presentes en esta arena. Para estos actores, nuevos experimentos deberán ser alentados y la creación de nuevas formas de valoración deberán ser desarrolladas. Simultáneamente, el Sistema de Patentes debería de ser reconsiderado para asegurar la entrega de patentes de alta calidad. En síntesis, los autores del informe le ruegan a las autoridades públicas una mayor "atención sostenida" a estas cuestiones.

► Presentation ot the theme: The digital space has been built on and as a system. Its primary interest is of a negative nature: it consists of to be preserved against the prospect of systemic failure, of not collapsing. Like all other systems, this 'Monumental Goal' specific to the digital system justifies resources that incorporate this concern for the future. As with all systems, it integrates and relies on the specific technical nature of this system.
The digital space is largely based on the invention, technology and architecture of domain names. Domain names, as an addressing system, enable users to enter the digital space and find other Internet users. The uniqueness and solidity of the domain name system, entrusted to a single root and decentralisation, makes this community possible for those who use the digital space and ensures the technical durability required, without which the digital space would be compromised.
The architecture, operation, operators and what they do under the control of legislators, regulators, judges and legal subjects are therefore examined from a dual technical and legal perspective, in the light of the imperative of sustainability.
This allows to progress in 4 stages.
Firstly, to examine the permanence in time and space of the domain name system, insofar as it is the foundation of the Internet and the digital system. This technical construction gives rise to legal qualifications, not only for the present but also for the future, since the Web3 offers new technical solutions.
Secondly, this technical sustainability is an imperative that is built into the operators of the domain names themselves, which are inter-linked not only at national level but also at global level, this cross-linking being necessary for the security of the system. The State is present through public law techniques that enable surveillance, control and possible recovery.
Thirdly, it imposes constraints on the operators subject to them in order to serve this monumental goal of technical sustainability, and these constraints themselves generate as many powers as they need to usefully achieve this mission. This proportionality must be at the heart of the method and the requirements. The relationship between constraints and powers also stems from it.
Fourthly, this imperative of technical sustainability, which is global in nature, gives way to imperatives of societal sustainability, more localised in space and time, when domain name operators are called upon by the legitimate authors of binding standards, legislators in the first instance, to express concerns such as the protection of people involved in the digital space and whose rights are compromised or who are in danger.
This second type of sustainability, which is more localised and less inherent in the architecture of the Internet, is justified by the available power of the operators concerned and their adherence to social imperatives. The resulting constraints and powers are therefore not the same.
The 2 sustainabilities must then be articulated in a conception that is both teleological and pragmatic.

Thematic Report (Energy): The French energy regulator publishes its first unfavorable opinion regarding the government’s proposed natural gas tariffs for residential customers.
The Commission de Régulation de l’Energie (CRE — French energy regulator) published an opinion “regarding the draft executive order regarding the regulated tariffs for natural gas publicly distributed by GDF Suez.” This non-binding opinion was published on September 29, 2011, and claims that it is not acceptable for the Government to leave natural gas prices unchanged because these prices do not cover GDF Suez’s costs and symmetrically prevent newcomers from competing with it.

La Commission de Régulation de l’Energie (CRE – l’autorità francese di regolazione nel settore dell’energia) ha reso pubblico un parare « riguardante la bozza di proposte di tariffe per il gaz naturale distribuito da GDF Suez ». Questo parere non vincolante è stato pubblicato il 29 settembre 2011 e afferma che non è possibile per il Governo di lasciare immutati i prezzi del gas naturale poiché questi prezzi non coprono i costi di GDF Suez e, al contempo, impedisce ai nuovi operatori di competere con tali costi.

On July 21th 2010 was signed into law by President Obama United State’s most important legislative change to financial supervision since the 1930’s : the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. This paper suggests that the Dodd-Frank Act, notwithstanding certain flaws, reflects what the neo-realistic definition of Regulation has been proposing in regards to post-crisis reregulation. Inter alia, it takes into account markets interconnectedness, complexity and deregulation. As regulatory law suggests to do, the Act reconciles microeconomic and macroeconomic supervision as well as regulatory and prudential rules, and resorts to certain regulatory tools in order to achieve certain regulatory goals. More specifically, it revives four regulatory imperatives: oversight and systemic risk prevention, investor protection, transparency/information and prudential measures.
FRENCH
Le 21 Juillet 2010, le Président Obama a, par sa signature, rendu effectif le plus important changement législatif dans le domaine de la supervision financière aux Etats-Unis depuis les années 1930: la loi Dodd-Frank pour la reforme de Wall Street et la protection du consommateur. Cet article soutient que la loi Dodd-Frank, en dépit de certaines failles, reflète ce que la définition néo-réaliste de la régulation a pu apporter au regard du mouvement de re-régulation qui a suivi la crise. Entre autres, elle prend en compte l’interconnectivité des marches, la complexité et la derégulation. Ainsi que le suggère le droit de la régulation, cette loi réconcilie les supervisions micro- et macroéconomiques, ainsi que les règles régulatoires et prudentielles, et se sert de certains outils de la régulation pour atteindre certains objectifs régulatoires. Plus particulièrement, elle ravive quatre impératifs de la régulation: la prévention systémique et la supervision, la protection de l investisseur, la transparence / l’information et les mesures prudentielles.

Juli 2010 hat der Präsident Obama ein Gesetz unterschrieben, und dadurch die wichtigste gesetzliche Reform der finanzielle Aufsicht seit der 30er eingeführt Das Dodd-Frank Gesetz für die Reform Wall Streets und Verbraucherschutz. Dieser Artikel zeigt, dass, trotz einigen Mangeln, das Dodd-Frank Gesetz das, was die neo-realistische Definition der Regulierung zur post-Krise Wiederregulierung mitgebracht hat, illustriert. Unter anderem, es berücksichtigt die Marktvernetzung, die Komplexität und Entregulierung. Im Gesetz wurdenMikro- und Makroaufsicht, sowie regulatorische und Aufsichtsregeln wiedereinigt. Ausserdem berührt das Gesetz auch auf regulatorischen Instrumenten, um regulatorische Ziele zu erfüllen. Es nimmt vier regulatorische Imperative wieder auf: Die systematische Prävention und Aufsicht, den Investorschutz, die Transparenz/Information und prudentielle Maßnahmen.

La reforma Dodd-Frank Wall Street y el Acta de protección al consumidor: ¿llenará este Acta todos los requisitos de la regulación?
El 20 de julio del 2010 el Presidente Obama firmó la ley del cambio legislativo más importante de los EEUU desde los años 30: la Reforma Dodd-Frank Wall Street y el Acta de protección consumidor. Este informe sugiere que el Acta Dodd-Frank, no obstante algunos defectos, refleja lo que la definición neo-realística de la Regulación ha estado proponiendo en cuanto a la “re-regulación” post crisis económica. Entre otros, toma en cuanto la naturaleza interconectada de los mercados, la complejidad y la desregulación. Como lo sugiere la ley regulatoria, el Acta reconcilia la supervisión micro y macroeconómica tanto como las reglas regulatorias y prudenciales, y recurre a ciertos instrumentos regulatorios para poder alcanzar ciertas metas regulatorias. Más específicamente, revive cuatro imperativos regulatorios: la prevención de descuidos y riesgos sistemáticos, protección al inversor, transparencia/información y medidas prudenciales.
