EU REGULATION FOR BUSINESS Course Outline

Purpose and background Regulation is by far the most important channel of EU influence on business in Europe. EU regulation has of course to be understood in the wider treaty context of free movement (of goods, services, labour, capital and codified technology), the right of establishment in other Member States, EU (and national) competition policy and the case law of the CJEU on mutual recognition (which cleverly combines national regulatory autonomy - be it, constrained - and free movement). The EU - business interface is dominated by numerous aspects of EU regulation. The purpose of the course is to become a 'good generalist' on EU regulation and its significance, in terms of opportunities and challenges, for business in Europe. There is no point in trying to master every major piece of EU regulation, let alone, all regulation relevant to the EU market. What matters is that students of this course will gain a profound insight about what is “good” and “bad” regulation, how EU regulation has been built up first quantitatively and later gradually improved in quality and how this was achieved. More specifically, students will be capable of appreciating how horizontal and sectoral regulation is based on broad principles, related to the properties of the subject at hand (for instance producer liability or the precautionary principle) and/or the market characteristics (e.g. risk profiles in particular markets). The course is distinctly economic in its perspective and (a good deal of its) literature. Much of the focus will be given to market failures as justifications to regulation, as opposed to plain distributional regulation (which is rare at EU level). This economic focus also implies examining regulation from a cost/benefit perspective. Moreover, students will be familiar with the rough contours of the EU regulatory acquis (including internal market regulation, common policies and other regulatory aspects of the EU institution). It is important to point out that this is not a course on EU law. Deep analysis of the CJEU case law is left to EU lawyers, however some basic understanding of EU law and some key principles and outcomes from the cases of the CJEU are indispensable.

A Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) is a rational and systematic analysis of regulatory options and their relative costs and benefits prior to EU legislation. The EU is required to perform such RIA before regulating in pursuit of the EU public interest. The RIA provides insight as to possible consequences of proposed EU regulation and as such it provides valuable information for elected politicians and the public (and indeed CoE students). The RIA also makes it possible to hold regulating bodies accountable for their decisions. This approach is in contrast to the more 'intuitive' and loose preparation of EU regulation in the past, let alone, to the numerous political compromises under vetoes before 1987. This more rigorous perspective is broadly favored by European business. The question is: why? The quality of EU regulation is likely to improve over time due to the RIA approach since unnecessary costs for businesses are likely to fall and the EU welfare is expected to increase (cet. paribus), if only because many distortions and inefficient regulatory techniques will no longer pass the legislator so easily. On the whole, ‘better regulation’, including RIAs, are expected to be beneficial for EU economic welfare. The course is complementary to and builds on the general backbone course of professor Beatrice Dument on European Economic Integration, and has been carefully designed not to overlap but for a tiny part. A small part of the course also relies on material covered in the introductory course on EU law for the EEIB students. Organisation The course has 30 hours in class. The compulsory readings have to be read BEFORE class (please, do not underestimate this task!). The recommended readings give students some idea of the wider background, they will help students understand the course slides, and could assist students when writing their master thesis. All EEIB students will do one (short) presentation in class on a limited topic of the course programme, usually in pairs of 2 students every time. No more than 12 minutes presentation, followed by Q&A session. The first presentation is scheduled for the beginning of session 3 (but remains part of session 2) on 1st October. Students will obtain precise (and limited) literature assignments for presentations in a section entitled : ‘Student presentation in 2018’ (see below). Keep in touch with the assistant at least 4 days before. The exam will be around early December 2018. All slides (also, from the students) and all the compulsory literature is required reading for the exam. The exam will take 3 hours and will consist of a blend of analytical, knowledge and essay questions. It counts for 90% of the final grade for the course. 10% of the grade will be accounted for the (short) student presentations in class.

STUDENT PRESENTATIONS in 2018 General Information concerning the presentations All EEIB students will do one (short) presentation in class on a limited topic of the course programme. No more than 12 minutes, followed by Q and A. Students have precise literature assignments for presentations. Keep in touch with the academic assistant for advice on the presentations; Hand in the slides (or a draft version) at least two days before the session; Do not forget to mention your sources on the last slide! Maximum 12 slides plus bibliography.

For every matter concerning the presentations please contact XXXXX ( + email) Session 2 14 Sept 2018 [ but presented early in session 3, 1st Oct 2018]

1. Presentation: “Does 'EU better regulation' help SMEs?” On quality: towards 'Better EU Regulation'. There was much talk about SME policies in the past. Yet with the EU “better regulation” agenda, things seem to improve. In which sense and to what extent? Look at the Small Business Act, Cutting Red tape, SME provisions in the RIA guidelines, Proposals of the Stoiber High level group on Best Practice regulatory simplification. Literature:

Session 3 1 Oct 2018

2. Presentation: “What does a RIA look like? The example of the General Food labelling draft Directive”

Which logic does the RIA follow? (The six steps)

Literature: RIA: “Impact Assessment report on General food labelling issues”, SEC(2008) 40

final, http://ec.europa.eu/food/food/labellingnutrition/foodlabelling/publications/ia_general_food_labelling.pdf

[ this simple example has been chosen because it does not require product-specific knowledge, hence, the student can focus on the RIA steps]

3. Presentation: “Two CJEU mutual recognition cases” Mutual recognition: market access under diversity. Cases: Kelderman BV (Case 130/81) and Purity requirement for beer (Case 178/84) Go through the cases; How does the court approach MR? Summarize the logic. What does the court say concerning proportionality/necessity/legitimacy?

Literature:

The two cases.

Session 4 2 Oct 2018

4. Presentation: “The 1973 chocolate directive (73/241/EEC)” On quality: towards 'Better EU Regulation'. How does the directive create rigidities, blocking innovation? Does it justifiably limit the food choice (e.g. what ‘internalities’ justify it)? How does it offer possibilities for lobbyists? Is this about health and safety? Can this directive be maintained after the M.R. revolution in food in the EU of the 1980s? NOTE : the presentation is thus about the old chocolate directive, not the current one from 2000. See also the large literature list of the course. Literature:

Directive 73/241/EEC (and consult before with the assistant and the professor)

5. Presentation: “The precautionary principle: The example of GMO regulation” Horizontal EU regulation: principles and scope. Give a very short overview of the EU regulation on GMOs and illustrate how risk assessment and a sound use of the precautionary principle failed because of non-scientific-based (irrational) societal fears, a lack of evidence, political matters, and intrinsic complexity of some GMO-related issues (ex. Co-existence).

7. Presentation: “The ETS and its repercussions for a specific industry sector” Describe and understanding the ETS is easy, the important issue is that this is not about cost/benefit but about cost effectiveness. A prominent European policy issue is the impact on sectors, as different sectors have different performance (and costs). Some sectors, if under the ETS, could become uncompetitive (aluminium, cement). Explain in this respect carbon leakage.

Session 8 2 Nov 2018 10. Presentation: “The Rueffert case on posted workers in Germany” EU regulation and the 'European Social Model': meaning for business? The Posted Workers directive 96/71 is based on the “host country control” principle. Therefore, it greatly reduces the wage incentive for labour mobility [explain the “therefore”]. However, three countries used to have no minimum wage legislation: here, temporary cross-border provision of services might be contracted at much lower wages. In Rueffert, the Court explicitly allows this to happen which undermines German collective wage agreements. Also note the conflict between the Advocate General and the Court. [note : Germany had no minimum wage law in 2006 when the case was building up ; today, it does have general minimum wages]. Reflect, when preparing, on (i) would Rueffert still be possible today in Germany ? ; (ii) the Posted Workers dir. 96/71 and its 2014 Enforcement dir. are being revised; would Rueffert remain applicable ?

Session 9 15 Nov 2018 11. Presentation : “Discussing the Timmermans Report on Active Subsidiarity” Why subsidiarity and two-tier regulation matter for business. Student(s) take the lead with one presentation here but this will be followed by class discussion – therefore the ENTIRE class has to read the Timmermans report as quoted below, before class. The report is about subsidiarity and proportionality in the EU, especially as applied in EU regulation.
