Contributions to books

    European Telecoms Regulation: Past Performance and Prospects    
Jordi Gual

With Sandra Jódar-Rosell
In Competition Policy in the EU: Fifty Years on from the Treaty of Rome
Edited by Xavier Vives
Oxford University Press, 2009, (pages 236-259)

A volume that takes stock and looks ahead on the development and implementation of competition policy in the European Union fifty years after the Treaty of Rome. Competition policy has emerged as a key policy in the EU with competition acting as the driving force for economic efficiency and the welfare of citizens. Case law has been established to control and prevent anti-competitve behavior, state aid control has consolidated and evolved towards a more economic approach, and the authority of the EC and the judicial review of the Court of the First Instance (CFI) and the European Court of Justice (ECJ) are firmly etsablished.
The book provides an economic approach to competition policy and reflects the main areas of interest, open issues and progress in the area. The volume examines the design of competition policy institutions, the evolution of the implementation of competition policy and its convergence or divergence with US practice, restrictive practices, cartels, abuse of dominance, merger control and state aids. The volume also analyses the interaction of competition policy and regulation, and studies its application to telecoms, banking and energy sectors. All chapters are written by leadfing specialists combining theoretical with practical knowledge and discussing the underpinings of the application of law.

CEPR Monitoring European Deregulation 3, London 2005.

Five years ago, the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) produced a report on the Future of European Banking in which it concluded that European Union (EU) financial markets are fundamentally segmented. Much has happened since then. The euro has been firmly established in several Member States; stock markets have been through a boom and bust; and a number of Eastern European countries have joined the EU. Perhaps most significantly of all, the European Union has launched its Financial Services Action Plan (FSAP). The goal of the FSAP is to create a single integrated market in Financial Services in Europe. This is regarded as critical for providing individuals with the best savings opportunities and companies with access to ‘deep and liquid markets for raising capital’. It is an extension of the principles of free trade to financial services and the same benefits associated with the elimination of barriers to trade are anticipated in financial services.This report, published in collaboration with the BBVA Foundation, reviews the progress that has been made in eliminating regulatory and non-regulatory barriers to trade in banking services and the degree to which European banking markets have become integrated. It sets out some key policy recommendations that emerge from an assessment of the FSAP and suggests that the pursuit of financial integration raises fundamental questions about the ownership of banks that have not been adequately considered to date.
