This book was released on 2003-02-03 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The incomplete European market for financial services, the obstacles to its integration and the potential benefits from more integration are subject of this book which is largely focussing on retail markets. The analysis can be regarded as a modernised follow-up to the financial market part of the famous 1988 Cecchini Report "The cost of non Europe". Even in the Euro age, retail financial markets in the EU are heavily fragmented and the consumers pay a large price for this fragmentation. This also weakens the growth perspective of EU and its international role. Explanations originate both from natural and policy-induced factors. Priorities for future policies are the dismantling of tax discriminations and further harmonisation in consumer protection and financial supervision.

Download or read book Towards an Effective European Single Market written by Michael Kaeding and published by VS Verlag für Sozialwissenschaften. This book was released on 2012-07-12 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If the European Union and its Member States are to compete successfully in an increasingly aggressive global market, whilst many other economies continue to get stronger, all parts of the European Union, Member States and the EU institutions, have to regulate smarter. The answer therefore is not to give up on rules, but rather to develop and implement good quality rules. Presenting both timely and relevant forms of European policy instruments in the field of financial services, public administration, transport, working conditions and social protection, this volume shows which kind of policy instruments work and under what circumstances. This will help all to overcome many of the impediments to using alternative policy instruments at the European level as appropriate responses to pressing European and global governance challenges, such as efficiency, accountability, transparency and legitimacy.
Download or read book Towards a Single Market for Finance The Financial Services Action Plan with Evidence 45th Report Session written by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Lords. Select Committee on the European Union and published by . This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The single market in financial services is a key part of the long-standing EU objective of an internal market which ensures the free movement of people, goods, services and capital. The Committee's report finds that a single market in financial services should lower the cost of capital and borrowing, whilst providing greater consumer protection and increasing choice for borrowers and investors. The Financial Services Action Plan (FSAP) will provide a major impetus towards this objective but also raises many important issues. The quality of EU legislation will be crucial, since over-regulation could stifle innovation and lead to higher costs. Other aspects also discussed in the report include: the global nature of financial markets, the position of London, the Investment Services Directive, implementation and enforcement, parliamentary accountability, the concept of a single European regulator, a clearing and settlement system, and agreement on international accounting standards.
Download or read book The Incomplete European Market for Financial Services written by Paolo Cecchini and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking back over the last decade it can be said with some justification that sig nificant progress has been achieved on the way towards fully integrated financial markets in Europe. The 1993 Internal Market initiative and the Euro introduction in 1999/2002 constitute important milestones. The integration process has further been intensified by market developments like the surge in mergers and acquisi tions and by technological innovations like internet based distribution. As a result, some market segments today do no longer have a national character. Nevertheless, this success should not obscure the fact that integration of financial services markets is still a long way from the level of integration that exists within national markets. Particularly for retail financial services national borders still constitute a considerable de facto barrier. The absence of frequent direct cross border links between financial service providers and retail consumers holds true despite the fact that the Euro has made product comparisons easier and that the internet has reduced information costs to a considerable extent.

Download or read book Single Markets written by Michelle P. Egan and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ambitious volume provides a trenchant and timely analysis of the creation of a single market in both the EU and the US. Comparing the experience of the US during the nineteenth century and the single market of the EU in the twentieth century, Single Markets demonstrates how the political economy of single market formation has followed remarkably similar trajectories. Both cases show evidence of interplay between different levels of government in determining distributive outcomes; evolution of a legal framework for the market; and development of new regulatory strategies to deal with changing economic realities. The book illustrates the process of market consolidation through a detailed comparison of the so-called four freedoms: the removal of border controls; and the largely unrestricted transfer of goods, services, and capital across different jurisdictions. In both cases, establishing one market, one currency, and a more unified banking and financial system transformed largely autonomous or sovereign constituent units into a more unified economic entity. Single Markets also sheds light on critically important questions for both comparativists and international relations scholars regarding the nature of territorial governance and the construction of state interests. The book's interdisciplinary approach to focusing on crucial political and economic developments on both sides of the Atlantic will be of interest to scholars in political science, public policy, law, and history.

This book was released on 2019-12-06 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The services sector is increasingly important for the euro area economy, but productivity growth in the sector has stalled over the past two decades. Remaining barriers to cross-border trade in services within the EU Single Market contribute to this weak performance. Our empirical analysis suggests that slow progress in tackling these barriers is associated with political economy factors such as weak government support in parliaments, low government efficiency and high markups. To remove the cross-border restrictions on services trade, we suggest combining incentives such as financial support, technical assistance and improved communication on barriers with more effective enforcement.
