This contribution deals with fiscal sustainability understood as “avoiding an excessive increase in government liabilities – a burden on future generations – while ensuring that the government can deliver the necessary public services, including the necessary safety net in times of hardship, and to adjust policy in response to new challenges”. The article aims the analysis of the legal framework for fiscal rules at the level of the EU and the national level in France and Poland. The research problem is to answer the question of how and whether the French and Polish regulations meet the international regulations in the field of fiscal sustainability. According to the research hypothesis, both countries only partially meet the EU requirements. The article is based on the detailed desk research method requiring analysis of the literature, statistical data, and EU and national legal regulations. The general conclusion is that both countries do not fully comply with EU commitments regarding fiscal rules.
这一贡献涉及财政可持续性,即“避免政府负债过度增加——这是后代的负担——同时确保政府能够提供必要的公共服务,包括在困难时期建立必要的安全网,并调整政策以应对新的挑战”。本文旨在分析欧盟层面和法国、波兰国家层面的财政规则法律框架。研究问题是回答法国和波兰的法规如何以及是否符合财政可持续性领域的国际法规的问题。根据研究假设,两国仅部分满足欧盟的要求。本文是基于详细的书桌研究方法,需要分析文献,统计数据,以及欧盟和国家的法律法规。总的结论是,这两个国家都没有完全遵守欧盟在财政规则方面的承诺。

This article consults new regulations in Estonia and Lithuania where significant amendments have been adopted for the establishment and approval of crypto exchange services' providers. While Estonia has adopted an important amendment to the regulation of providers of crypto exchange services and of crypto wallet services, Lithuania has adopted a completely new regulation that has never been part of its legal system in any aspect. Despite these amendments, it's expectable that these regulations will have only temporary effect by the adoption of Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCA), now only at the stage of working paper.
本文参考了爱沙尼亚和立陶宛的新法规,这两个国家已经通过了关于建立和批准加密交换服务提供商的重大修正案。虽然爱沙尼亚通过了对加密货币交换服务提供商和加密货币钱包服务提供商监管的重要修正案,但立陶宛采用了一项全新的监管,该监管从未在任何方面成为其法律体系的一部分。尽管进行了这些修订,但可以预期的是,通过采用加密资产监管市场(MiCA),这些规定只会产生暂时的影响,目前还处于工作文件的阶段。

Short Selling, COVID-19 and the Regulators – Lessons Learned 卖空、COVID-19和监管机构——经验教训

Abstract 385 Some national competent authorities (NCAs), as well as ESMA, have responded with short-selling bans and other restrictions to the COVID-19 pandemic. This approach has attracted criticism in both legal and economic literature. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has been overcome, or at least ways of dealing with COVID-19 have been found, it is of crucial importance for future EU short selling regulation how the legal basis of the measures for exceptional situations is designed and how the supervisory authorities will deal with it. This is valid not least because we are living in a time in which one crisis (COVID-19) follows the next (Ukraine war, gas shortage, inflation etc). Against this backdrop, this paper reviews the academic assessment of the supervisory approach taken and aims to contribute to an improved legislative and supervisory approach regarding short selling in (future) crises. 386
针对新冠肺炎疫情,一些国家主管部门和ESMA采取了卖空禁令等限制措施。这种做法在法律和经济文献中都受到了批评。虽然已经克服了COVID-19大流行,或者至少已经找到了应对COVID-19的方法,但如何设计特殊情况措施的法律依据以及监管当局如何处理这些措施,对未来的欧盟卖空监管至关重要。这是有效的,尤其是因为我们生活在一个危机(COVID-19)紧随下一个危机(乌克兰战争,天然气短缺,通货膨胀等)的时代。在此背景下,本文回顾了对所采取的监管方法的学术评估,旨在为(未来)危机中卖空的立法和监管方法的改进做出贡献。386

The Mandatory and Default Regulation in Hungarian Company Law – A Decade of Experience 匈牙利公司法中的强制性和违约性规定——十年经验

Abstract 314 The option to deviate from a legal provision has been problematic for company law. The theoretical background of legislation is rooted in the interpretative models of company law: the investor model favouring the interests of its members (shareholder theory) and a contractual model which takes into account the stakeholders in the business relationship with the company (stakeholder theory). This article reflects on the development of the regulation’s nature of Hungarian company law; the legislator implemented a fundamental change in the central element to the governance of company law in 2013. After the modification of central regulation concept of Hungarian company law, the role of the judiciary shifted to the classification of the different default-mandatory rules. This article investigates the development of the new company law regulations concept, and the related judicial practice, and also approaches the topic from the view of interests (of creditors, employees and members), striving to create a coherent dogmatic system.
摘要314偏离法律规定的选择一直是公司法的问题。立法的理论背景植根于公司法的解释模型:有利于其成员利益的投资者模型(股东理论)和考虑到与公司业务关系中的利益相关者的合同模型(利益相关者理论)。本文对匈牙利公司法规制性质的发展进行了反思;2013年,立法委员对公司法治理的核心要素进行了根本性的改革。匈牙利公司法中央监管概念修改后,司法部门的角色转向对不同的违约强制规则进行分类。本文考察了新公司法规制概念的发展和相关的司法实践,并从利益(债权人、雇员和成员)的角度来探讨这一主题,力求形成一个连贯的教条体系。

The Regulation on Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCAR): Landmark Codification, or First Step of Many, or Both? 加密资产市场监管(MiCAR):里程碑式的编纂,还是许多人的第一步,还是两者兼而有之?
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-04-01 DOI: 10.1515/ecfr-2023-0014
Philipp Maume
Abstract 243 On 29 June 2023, the long-awaited Regulation on markets in crypto-assets (MiCAR) came into force. It is the first comprehensive framework for DLT-based units (tokens or crypto-assets) in the world. This article tries to shed some light on the drivers of its creation and the remarkable speed of the parliamentary process. It discusses its key definitions and rulesets, and identifies some interesting policy decisions made by EU lawmakers. However, despite its speed and boldness, MiCAR perpetuates the existing structures of EU financial markets regulation, including some of its weaknesses such as its emphasis on national enforcement. The idea to “copy and paste” existing regulation might also lead to problems in the future because the inconsistencies between crypto-asset regulation and financial markets regulation will probably become more significant. The big question is if and how MiCAR will approach the remaining gaps, such as the regulation of decentralised finance.
2432023年6月29日,期待已久的加密资产市场监管(MiCAR)生效。这是世界上第一个基于dlt的单位(代币或加密资产)的综合框架。本文试图揭示其创建的驱动因素以及议会进程的惊人速度。它讨论了它的关键定义和规则集,并确定了欧盟立法者做出的一些有趣的政策决定。然而,尽管MiCAR行动迅速且大胆,但它延续了欧盟金融市场监管的现有结构,包括其一些弱点,如强调国家执法。“复制粘贴”现有监管的想法也可能在未来导致问题,因为加密资产监管与金融市场监管之间的不一致可能会变得更加严重。最大的问题是MiCAR是否以及如何填补剩余的空白,比如对去中心化金融的监管。

Decent Work in the Cross-Border Supply Chain: A Smart Mix of Legislation and Self-Regulation 跨境供应链中的体面工作:立法与自律的巧妙结合

Abstract 336 This paper deals with the problem of European companies trading with companies in developing countries where fundamental labour rights are being violated. For a long time, this issue was left to the responsibility of European companies on a voluntary basis. Recently, a shift towards hard law in the sense of legal obligations has become visible. The European Commission started a legislative process in 2021 and published a proposal for a due diligence Directive in February 2022 to which the European Parliament responded in first reading on 1 June 2023. In the meanwhile, France and Germany passed legislation, and in the Netherlands and Belgium a private member’s bill was submitted by members of Parliament. All in all, a lot is happening on this subject at both European and national level. Much has been written about the proposals as such but the issue of fundamental labour rights has been underexposed. This paper fills that gap. Central question is as to what extent legislation will lead to an improvement in compliance with fundamental labour rights in the cross-border supply chain. This paper will explore this question on the basis of the said European and national legislative initiatives. It will become clear that the solution lies much more in a mix of hard law and self-regulation and that in the search for a smart mix, lessons can be learned from the Dutch system of private sector-specific agreements. 337
摘要:本文讨论了欧洲公司与发展中国家的公司进行贸易的问题,这些公司的基本劳工权利正在受到侵犯。很长一段时间以来,这个问题都是在自愿的基础上留给欧洲公司负责的。最近,在法律义务的意义上,向强硬法律的转变已经变得明显。欧盟委员会于2021年启动了立法程序,并于2022年2月发布了一份尽职调查指令提案,欧洲议会于2023年6月1日对该提案进行了一读回应。与此同时,法国和德国通过了立法,荷兰和比利时则由国会议员提交了一份私人法案。总而言之,在欧洲和国家层面上,这个问题正在发生很多变化。有关这些提议的文章很多,但基本劳工权利的问题却没有得到充分的关注。本文填补了这一空白。核心问题是,立法将在多大程度上改善对跨境供应链中基本劳工权利的遵守。本文将在上述欧洲和各国立法举措的基础上探讨这一问题。很明显,解决方案更多地在于将严格的法律和自我监管结合起来,在寻求一种明智的结合时,可以从荷兰针对私营部门的协议体系中吸取教训。337

Shareholder Proposals and Sustainability: An Empirically-Based Critical Reflection 股东提案与可持续性:基于经验的批判性反思

Abstract 276 Publicly traded companies face growing scrutiny in respect of their sustainability strategies and policies from regulators, the general public, NGOs, as well as investors. One area where the attention for corporate sustainability issues has materialised is at the general meetings of these companies, including in the form of a growing number of shareholder proposals on environmental and social topics. Against the background of this development, I have investigated sustainability-related shareholder proposals in 25 countries. More specifically, this paper presents the results of a survey of shareholder proposals on environmental and social topics that have been put to a vote in the period between 2020 and 2022, with the aim of exploring what sustainability issues are addressed through shareholder proposals, who submit E&S-related shareholder proposals, and which sectors are subjected to such proposals. During this three-year period, nearly one-third of the 1995 shareholder proposal that have been identified directly related to environmental and social issues. The investigation reveals that the majority of such proposals have been submitted by individuals, organisations with primarily social objectives, and SRI asset managers and investment advisors. But in light of increasing attention, both in society and in investor circles, for what institutional investors are doing to support and promote sustainability strategies and policies of publicly traded companies, in particular when it comes to climate change, it may be the case that (some of) these investors will increasingly exercise agenda-setting rights in connection with corporate sustainability issues. 277
上市公司在可持续性战略和政策方面面临着来自监管机构、公众、非政府组织以及投资者越来越多的审查。企业可持续发展问题得到关注的一个领域是在这些公司的股东大会上,包括越来越多的股东就环境和社会议题提出建议。在这种发展的背景下,我调查了25个国家与可持续发展相关的股东提案。更具体地说,本文提出了一项关于环境和社会议题的股东提案的调查结果,这些提案已在2020年至2022年期间进行了投票,目的是探索通过股东提案解决了哪些可持续性问题,谁提交了与环保相关的股东提案,以及哪些行业受到这些提案的影响。在这三年期间,已查明的1995年股东提案中有近三分之一与环境和社会问题直接有关。调查显示,大多数此类提案是由个人、以社会为主要目标的组织、SRI资产管理公司和投资顾问提交的。但是,鉴于社会和投资界越来越关注机构投资者在支持和促进上市公司的可持续发展战略和政策方面所做的工作,特别是在气候变化方面,这些投资者(其中一些)可能会越来越多地行使与公司可持续发展问题相关的议程设置权。277

Negative Implications of Greater Access to the Courts in the Takeover Process 在收购过程中更多诉诸法院的负面影响
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-04-01 DOI: 10.1515/ecfr-2023-0018
Jonathan Mukwiri
Abstract 358 Recent judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union involving Austria and Italy raises the question of whether greater access to the courts makes ineffective the duty of supervisory authorities in enforcing the mandatory bid rule. This question is discussed in the context of provisions in the Takeover Bid Directive that enables Member States to avoid disruptive greater access to the courts. The overarching argument advanced in this article is that a system of takeover regulation that provides parties the ability to challenge regulatory decisions in courts is bound to cause delays and uncertainty in the takeover process. In the UK, the Takeover Bid Directive was implemented in a way that limits greater access to the courts for parties that are required to comply with the ruling of the supervisory authority. The article suggest that the UK approach may provide a benchmark for reform in EU countries. 359
摘要358欧盟法院最近对奥地利和意大利的判决提出了一个问题,即更多地诉诸法院是否会使监管当局在执行强制性投标规则方面的职责失效。这一问题是根据《收购投标指令》中的规定来讨论的,这些规定使会员国能够避免更多地诉诸法院,造成破坏。本文提出的主要论点是,为当事人提供在法院挑战监管决定的能力的收购监管制度必然会导致收购过程中的延迟和不确定性。在英国,《收购投标指令》的实施方式限制了被要求遵守监管机构裁决的各方更多地诉诸法院。文章认为,英国的做法可能为欧盟国家的改革提供一个基准。359
