“Whatever talents a person may possess to amuse and instruct others, be they ever so inconsiderable, he is yet bound to exert them: if his attempt be ineffectual, let the punishment of an unaccomplished purpose have been sufficient;” (Percy Bysshe Shelley, Prometheus Unbound, Author’s Preface)
Die Europäische Zentralbank (EZB) hat ihr geldpolitisch...
There are numerous examples of strategic litigation in Austria – including examples of climate lititgation as well as intimidation lawsuits (“SLAPPs”) against the climate movement. The contributions in this book discuss the theoretical background of strategic litigation, analyze legal issues in connection with this practice and, above all, allow th...
The provision dates back to Article 109.4l sentence 3 TEC-Maastricht. In this provision, the Council was empowered to irrevocably fix both the conversion rates of the currencies of the participating MS and the rate at which these currencies shall be substituted by the ECU (European currency unit, now euro), making the latter a “currency in its own...
Article 127 TFEU is the key provision in Chapter 2, “Monetary Policy”, of Title VIII TFEU (Economic and Monetary Policy) for it lays down the objectives (paragraph 1) and tasks (paragraphs 2, 3 and 5) of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) and the supervisory role of the ECB (paragraph 6).
Article 128 TFEU goes back to Article 105a TEC-Maastricht and has not been amended since then. Like Article 133 TFEU (➔ Article 133 TFEU para 8), Article 128 TFEU can be seen as a provision to serve the single-currency status of the euro and the singleness of monetary policy. The provision deals with the legal-tender status within the Union, govern...
The authors of the Maastricht Treaty regarded sound public finances of the MS as the key element of a well-functioning Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) marked by price stability. This stance could already be found in the Delors Report (1989) written in preparation for the introduction of a single currency. This means that an MS should not incur un...
Der EuGH hatte sich in der Rs. Consorzio Italian Management erneut mit der in Art. 267 Abs. 3 AEUV normierten Vorlagepflicht letztinstanzlicher mitgliedstaatlicher Gerichte und der CILFIT-Formel als diesbezüglicher Ausnahme zu befassen. Im vorliegenden Urteil hat der EuGH die CILFIT-Formel bestätigt, konkretisiert und dabei realistische Anforderung...
Systematische Darstellung und kompetenzrechtliche Analyse der Reformmaßnahmen Seit 2010 ist die Reform der Wirtschafts- und Währungsunion (WWU) ein rechtliches und politisches Dauerthema. Steht die "Eurokrise" am Beginn dieser Reform, so hat diese durch die 2020 einsetzende COVID-19-Pandemie neue Dynamik erfahren. Hierdurch vollzog die WWU einen gr...
In this book, legal scholars from the EU Member States (with the addition of the UK) analyse the development of the EU Member States' attitudes to economic, fiscal, and monetary integration since the Treaty of Maastricht.
The Eurozone crisis corroborated the warnings of economists that weak economic policy coordination and loose fiscal oversight w...
So far legal analysis has predominantly focussed on the question whether the measures that were adopted in the context of the so-called ‘eurocrisis' (i.e. European Stability Mechanism, Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance etc.) are compatible with the EU Treaties. This discussion has concentrated on competences and the institutional fra...
The ‘six-pack,’ a set of six Union legislative acts that was adopted in November 2011, was one of the main Union responses to the current sovereign debt crisis. Aware of the weak performance of the Stability and Growth Pact and of the underlying design faults of the Treaty provisions on the coordination of Member States' economic policies, in parti...
May 2010 saw a turning point in the European response to combat the sovereign debt crisis that has befallen a series of Member States of the euro area. Through bilateral loans to Greece, the European Financial Stabilisation Mechanism, the European Financial Stability Facility and the European Stability Mechanism, "Europe " decided to provide for fi...
In zwei Urteilen jüngeren Datums setzt sich der OGH mit der kartellrechtlichen Zulässigkeit von Radiusklauseln auseinander.
Dies wirft Fragen nach der Überprüfbarkeit von erstgerichtlichen Marktabgrenzungen und nach der Anwendung der sog Bündeltheorie
auf.
Das EG-vertragliche Kartellverbot des Art 81 EGV (Art 101 AEUV) und das Missbrauchsverbot des Art 82 EGV (Art 102 AEUV) haben horizontale Direktwirkung, sie können Einzelne berechtigen, sie können diese aber auch verpflichten. Der Einzelne kann sich daher vor den nationalen Gerichten bzw Verwaltungsbehörden auf diese unionsrechtlichenNormen1 berufe...
Mit seinem Urteil Bayerisches Sägerundholz dehnt der OGH den Anwendungsbereich des NVG bedeutend aus. Dies wirft die alte
Frage einer Abgrenzung des nahversorgungsgesetzlichen zum kartellrechtlichen Diskriminierungsverbot auf.
In Lelos entschied der EuGH über die Frage, ob parallelexportbehindernde Lieferbeschränkungen eines Pharmaherstellers gegenüber
Arzneimittelgroßhändlern missbräuchlich iSv Art 82 EG sind. Er kommt zum Ergebnis, dass Lieferbeschränkungen hinsichtlich
normaler Bestellungen als missbräuchlich zu qualifizieren sind. Ob die Bestellungen normal sind, ist...
