Constitutional Challenges in the Field of Financial Regulation ( GLaw webinar)
Over the past ten years, financial regulation within the European Union (EU) has undergone dramatic changes. This trend started in 2010 with - inter alia - the creation of the European System of Financial Stability, and consolidated in 2013 with the creation of the European Banking Union. Reforms in both the European Banking Union and the Economic and Monetary Union are still underway, and their urgency has only been made more pressing by the recent COVID-19 outbreak and the resulting economic downturn.
Against this background, this workshop aims at providing an analysis of recent and on-going developments from the perspectives of multilevel (administrative) cooperation, that is the cooperation between national and European authorities, and the use of soft law in this policy area.
