► Presentation of the theme: "The "Obligation" is at the heart of many disciplines. Compliance techniques very often take the form of obligations. But to mention only the first questions that come to mind and in cases, especially those that are referred to the courts, it is paradoxically not so much Contract Law and Tort Law that have been used, since Compliance Law is on the one hand often assimilated to the mass of applicable regulations and its unilaterality characteristic of Regulatory Law, the branch of Law that Compliance Law extends, and on the other hand it is often associated with ethics, morality, a shared culture, everything that seems to distance it from Obligation.
The notions of "duty" and "commitment" are increasingly taking their place in Compliance Law, although their scope is still uncertain. This is why, beyond the multiplicity of "compliance obligations", one may ask whether there is an "obligation to comply", what its definition would be and its relationship with everything that, in Compliance Law, is not one obligation.
It is the topic of this conference and the articles that will follow to identify what will be this hypothesis, which is becoming more and more frequent and could become the standard.
____
Method chosen to deal with the topic: For contributing to what will later become the book on the Compliance Obligation, constituting its first chapter aimed at identifying what could be a definition of Compliance Obligation, the method is not to start from the legal instruments of compliance but rather for each of the contributors to draw on their discipline, which they has mastered technically, in order to project it and formulate what, on the basis of this previous mastery and according to his or her own conception, is or should be, or should not be, the Compliance Obligation.
Each speaker gives a half-hour presentation on his topic, which is followed by a 15-minute debate.

🔻 read a detailed presentation of the manifestation below:
I would suspect that most regulatory law practitioners—whether they represent government or private interests--feel as if the tidewaters of global regulation have slowly but surely risen within the past few years. Those involved in the fields of competition, environmental or financial law must feel as if the global regulatory waters have reached up to their knees.

Article: le G-20 et la régulation économique mondiale: un moyen d'alimenter le développement progressif du droit international?
Je soupçonnerai volontiers que la majorité des praticiens du droit de la régulation - qu'ils représentent les gouvernements ou des intérêts publics - ont le sentiment que les eaux de la régulation mondiale ont monté lentement mais sûrement au cours des dernières années. Ceux qui exercent dans les domaines légaux de la concurrence, de l'environnement ou de la finance doivent eux avoir l'impression qu'elles ont atteint leurs genoux.

Artikel; Die G-20 und die globale wirtschaftliche Regulierung: ein Beitrag zur Entwicklung des internationalen Privatenrechtes?
Ich vermute, dass die meisten Praktiker des Regulierungsrechtes - entweder für öffentlichen- oder privaten Institutionnen arbeitend - das Gefühl haben, dass die Gewässer der globalen Regulierung letztlich langsam aber sicher angestiegen sind. Und diejenigen, die im Bereich Wettbewerb, Umwelt oder Finanz arbeiten, haben sicher das Gefühl, dass die Gewässer schon kniehoch sind.

Il G20 e la regolazione economica globale: verso l’alimentazione di uno sviluppo progressivo del diritto internazionale?
Direi che la gran parte degli operatori in materia di regolazione normativa – portatori di interessi pubblici o privati – hanno la sensazione che la marea della regolazione economica globale sia, seppur lentamente, sicuramente salita negli ultimi anni. Coloro che operano in materia di diritto della concorrenza, diritto dell’ambiente o diritto finanziario devono aver la sensazione che le acque della regolazione siano arrivate fino alle ginocchia.
El G-20 y la regulación económica global: ¿alimentando el desarrollo progresivo del derecho internacional?
Yo sospecharía que la mayoría de aquellos que practican la ley – ya sea que representen los intereses públicos o privados – se sienten como si las aguas de la regulación global han aumentado lentamente durante los últimos años. Aquellos que están involucrados en el campo de la competición o las leyes ambientales o financieras ya deben de sentirse como si las aguas de la regulación global les han llegado hasta las rodillas.
The word "regulation" is fashionable, and so is what it is supposed to refer to; but the notion actually refers to many different situations, which can be a source of confusion. Of course, regulation is all about improving market functioning; but we also have to admit that the measures that regulation must take to accomplish this are not the same in situations where competition malfunctions, as opposed to situations where there is no competition at all.
But, there must be a preliminary agreement on the goals that regulation must pursue. Specifically, is competition an end in itself, or simply a way to best cause economic actors to unwittingly pursue the public good?
I venture to suggest that we cannot usefully speak about regulation without defining what it is intended to accomplish...

Article: deux régulation?
Le mot « régulation » est à la mode, comme ce qu’il est censé désigner ; mais la notion couvre, en fait, des situations très différentes, ce qui est source de confusion. Il s’agit, certes, de mieux faire fonctionner le marché ; mais on conçoit que les mesures à prendre ne soient pas les mêmes dans les cas où la concurrence fonctionne mal, par opposition à ceux où il n’y a pas de concurrence du tout. Encore faut-il au préalable s’entendre sur les objectifs poursuivis. Plus précisément, la concurrence est-elle une fin en soi, ou seulement un moyen de voir les acteurs économiques, sans le savoir, oeuvrer au mieux pour le bien public? J’oserai avancer qu’on ne peut traiter utilement de la régulation sans en connaître l’objet ...

Artikel: Zwei Regulierungen?
Das Wort "Regulierung" ist heutzutage modisch, sowie ist, was angeblich hinter dem Begriff steckt; Jetzt aber bezieht sich der Begriff auf viele verschiedenen Situationen, was zu gewisser Verwirrung fürhen kann. Zwar strebt Regulierung danach, das Funktionieren den Märkten zu verbessern. Aber wir müssen annehmen, dass die notwendigen Massnahmen nicht diesselbe sind, wenn der Wettbewerb nicht vollständig läuft, und wenn der Wettbewerb überhaupt nicht existiert. Ausserdem müssen wir uns über die Zielsetzung einigen. Und zwar, ist Wettbewerb ein Ziel an sich oder ist trägt er nur dazu bei, die Wirtschaftsakteure ungewiss dazu zu veranlassen, zum öffentlichen Allgemeingut beizutragen? Ich behaupte, dass man nicht nützlich über die Regulierung sprechen kann, ohne ihren Gegenstand zu kennen...

¿Dos regulaciones?
La palabra ‘regulación’ está de moda, tal como lo es a lo que se supone que se refiere; pero, de hecho, esta noción se refiere a varias situaciones, lo cual puede dar lugar a cierta confusión. Claro, la regulación se trata de mejorar el funcionamiento del mercado; pero también debemos admitir que las medidas que debe tomar la regulación para cumplir con esto no son las mismas en situaciones donde la competición sufre de un fallo, en contraste con situaciones en donde la competición ni existe.
De todas maneras, debe haber un acuerdo preliminar sobre los objetivos que la regulación debe de seguir. Específicamente, ¿es la competición un fin en sí mismo, o es simplemente una manera de causar que los actores económicos persigan inconcientemente la bien público?
Me atrevo a sugerir que no podemos hablar efectivamente sobre la regulación sin definir qué se supone que debe de lograr.

Articolo : Due regolazioni ?
La parola « regolazione » é alla moda così come il suo contenuto. Tuttavia questa nozione si riferisce a molteplici situazioni e ciò può costituire fonte di confusione. Certo, la regolazione consiste nel migliorare il funzionamento del mercato, ma dobbiamo ammettere che i provvedimenti che la regolazione deve attuare al fine di raggiungere questo scopo, non sono gli stessi quando si è in presenza di distorsioni della libera concorrenza oppure quando, in altri contesti, la libera concorrenza non c'è. Pertanto, è necessario che vi sia un accordo unanime sugli obiettivi della regolazione. In particolare, la concorrenza è lo scopo, o semplicemente il mezzo per far in modo che gli operatori economici agiscano involontariamente a fini di bene pubblico? Direi che non possiamo parlare della regolazione senza definire i suoi obiettivi…

The current worldwide economic downturn has strongly impacted nearly every countries all over the world. Thus, in order to avoid any further global financial crisis, governments have to restructure their financial supervisory mechanisms. While many states in the western world started to reform their supervisory frameworks, a small post-communist country developed a very interesting and uncommon model. Indeed, Georgia decided to simplify its financial supervisory architecture by transfering all regulatory and supervisory powers to its central bank.

L’attuale rallentamento dell’economia mondiale ha avuto un impatto su quasi tutti gli stati del mondo. Così, per evitare una nuova crisi finanziaria globale, i governi devono modificare i propri meccanismi di supervisione finanziaria. Mentre molti stati occidentali hanno iniziato le riforme delle loro strutture di supervisione, un piccolo paese ex-comunista ha sviluppato un modello interessante e poco diffuso. In effetti, la Georgia ha deciso di semplificare la sua struttura di supervisione finanziaria trasferendo tutti i poteri di regolazione e supervisione finanziaria alla sua banca centrale.
