Several general questions…• Is it possible – and workable – to distinguish between so-
called limited and unlimited authorizations and grants?• Is it useful to include the principle of equal treatment and
the principle of transparency in a general regulatory framework on limited authorizations and grants?
• Is it useful to include general prescriptive rules on limited authorizations and grants in a general regulatory framework? Which rules are most urgent?
