In Belgium, in December 2008, the Flemish Region issued a decree tariffing the injection into the electricity in the distribution network. The Belgian Energy regulator, the "Commission de Regulation de l’Electricité et du Gaz" (CREG – Belgian Regulatory Commission for Electricity and Gas), which has federal jurisdiction, challenged this Decree in the Constitutional Court; the regulator considered that the Region has no jurisdiction to establish such a tariff. By the decision of July 12, 2012, the Court gives reason to the regulator and cancels the order adopted by the Region, stating the need for a federal jurisdiction to adopt such tariff, in this case the jurisdiction of the regulator.
Prudential rules on the own funds of banks adopted by the Basle Committee are biding as soon as they will be transposed in a binding legal text.
The new rules of Basel III must take the force of a European directive. This gives rise to a new discussion, nor between the central bank governors (as in Basel), but between Finance Ministers of the European Union member states, in Brussels. On this occasion, each State defends the interest of its banks; the rule advocated by him corresponds to its banking structure or its type of banking business. In any case, the banks, anticipating the application of Basle III, have already integrated the prudential requirements in their accounts, hoping that their State will preserve it.
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.

In the United States, in its political program, the Republican Party has indicated that it considered inadequate the decision of the Department of Justice adopted in December 2011, according to that the prohibition of poker does not apply when this game was played on line. Indeed, the Republican Party said that this game can be pathological, because it can destroy the players and their families. As such, the distorted interpretation that the previous administration that made of the Wire Act should be canceled for that to be restored, according to it, the outright prohibition of online poker. This program must be compared, in contrast with the court decision, which comes instead to ask that poker can be freely organized, because it is not even a gambling game.
The implementation of a common repertory of information on Social Security tax payments provides the opportunity to gather real-time information on a vast majority of taxpayers, but is highly criticized for its possible violation of privacy rights.

主题性报告：ARJEL(法国在线游戏管理局)首次向法国金融市场管理局处罚委员会提交案件

Internet permits to access to expanded knowledge but also make easier the broadcasting of fake news and hate speeches. Unfortunately, public powers cannot know who broadcast these fake news and hate speeches and are so not able to fight efficiently against this. A solution would be to expect from digital firms that they find a way to contain these fake news and hate speeches that they structurally contribute to diffuse.
Digital firms already do that and especially Facebook which plans to sensibilize its American users to 2020 presidential elections. However, digital firms explain that if they fight against fake news and hate speeches, it is only because of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). But, even if it is a calculus to get a better reputation and avoid boycott actions, this remains a willingness of the firm which is therefore neither forced to succeed, nor even to act.
The solution proposed by Compliance Law is to make of this effort a legal obligation by internalizing in crucial operators (digital firms) the "monumental goal" to fight against fake news and hate speeches so that digital companies are required to act and that they are supervised by public authorities in this task. The forthcoming law about digital services will impose to digital firms Ex Ante obligations while the law of 22 of December 2018 related to the fight against information manipulation already forces platforms operators a legal obligation to "cooperate" in the fight against fake news.
On June 2nd 2010, the European Union (EU) Commission shared its 2010-2011 time-table and action plan for financial markets. It proposed to improve supervision of Credit Rating Agencies, it launched debate on corporate governance in financial institutions and it published a communication on Financial Services 2010-2011 ("Regulating financial Services for sustainable growth"). Indeed, any of these three aspects answer to the EU’s G20 commitment to create a safer regulatory framework for financial markets –itself participating to economic recovery- and implement such system as to prevent future crisis to go off. As Commission President José Manuel Barroso said on that day: "Today the Commission is launching the final push to complete the EU's financial services reform. This is part of our wider agenda to stabilize, consolidate and restore sustainable growth to the European economy".

Article: Lancement de "la dernière impulsion pour compléter la réforme des services financiers": La Commission suit-elle le bon chemin?
Le 2 Juin 2010, la Commission Européenne (CE) a rendu public son agenda 2010-2011 ainsi que son plan d'action pour les marchés financiers. A cette occasion, elle a proposé d'améliorer la surveillance des agences de notation, a lancé un débat sur le gouvernement d'entreprise dans les établissements financiers, et a publié une communication sur les services financiers 2010-2011, intitulée "La réglementation des services financiers au service d'une croissance durable". Ces trois aspects en effet répondent aux engagements du G20 de créer un cadre régulatoire plus sûr pour les marchés financiers, pour permettre la reprise économique, et, dans l'éventualité d'une crise future, pour éviter que cette dernière ne dérape. Comme l'a précisé le Président de la Commission Européenne José Manuel Barroso ce jour-là: "aujourd'hui la Commission lance la dernière impulsion pour compléter la réforme des services financiers en Europe. Ceci fait partie d'un agenda plus global pour stabiliser, consolider et restaurer une croissance durable pour l'économie européenne."

Artikel: Lancierung "des letzten Schrittes zur Vervollständigung der EU-Finanzdienstleistungensreform": ist die Kommission auf dem richtigen Weg?
Am 2. Juni 2010 hat die Europäische Kommission ihre Agenda 2010-2011 veröffentlicht, sowie ihre Vorschläge zu den Änderungen der EU-Vorschriften zu Ratingagenturen vorgelegt und eine öffentliche Konsultation zur Reform der Corporate Governance in Finanzinstituten eingeleitet. Die Kommission hat auch eine allgemeinere Mitteilung 2010-2011 über den Finanzdienstleistungssektor verabschiedet („Regulierung der Finanzdienstleistungen für nachhaltiges Wachstum“). So was entspricht der Verpflichtung der Kommission beim G20-Gipfel, ein sicherer und stabiler Finanzsystem sicherzustellen. Kommissionspräsident José Manuel Barroso erklärte aus diesem Anlass: "Die Kommission lanciert heute den letzten Schritt zur Vervollständigung der EU-Finanzdienstleistungensreform. Dies ist Teil eines breitangelegten Programms zur Wiederherstellung von nachhaltigem Wachstum, sowie der Stabilisierung und Konsolidierung der europäischen Wirtschaft“

Articolo: Verso la “spinta finale per completare la riforma dell’Unione europea dei servizi finanziari”: la Commissione è sulla strada giusta?
Il 2 giugno 2010, la Commissione del’Unione Europea (UE) ha svelato il suo calendario ed il suo piano d’azione per il 2010-2011 in materia di mercati finanziari. La Commissione ha proposto di migliorare la supervisione delle Agenzie per la valutazione dei crediti, ha aperto il dibattito sulla corporate governance nelle istituzioni finanziarie ed ha pubblicato un comunicato sui servizi finanziari 2010-2011 (“Regolamentare i servizi finanziari per uno sviluppo sostenibile”). Tuttavia, nessuno di questi tre aspetti corrisponde all’impegno, preso dall’UE durante il G20, di creare un quadro di riferimento più sicuro per i mercati finanziari – partecipando alla ripresa economica – e di attuare un sistema tale da evitare una crisi futura. Lo stesso giorno, il Presidente della Commissione José Manuel Barroso ha affermato: “Oggi la Commissione sta dando la spinta finale per completare la riforma dei servizi finanziari. Questo fa parte della nostra ampia agenda, al fine di stabilizzare, consolidare e riavviare una crescita sostenibile dell’economia europea”.
