The European Court’S Political Power Across Time And Space, Karen Alter
The European Court’S Political Power Across Time And Space, Karen Alter
Faculty Working Papers
This article extracts from Alter's larger body of work insights on how the political and social context shapes the ECJ's political power and influence. Part I considers how the political context facilitated the constitutionalization of the European legal system. Part II considers how the political context helps determine where and when the current ECJ influences European politics. Part III draws lessons from the ECJ's experience, speculating on how the European context in specific allowed the ECJ to become such an exceptional international court. Part IV lays out a research agenda to investigate the larger question of how social support shapes …
Free Movement Of Goods: A Comparative Analysis Of The European Community Treaty And The North American Free Trade Agreement, Pedro A. Perichart
Free Movement Of Goods: A Comparative Analysis Of The European Community Treaty And The North American Free Trade Agreement, Pedro A. Perichart
LLM Theses and Essays
The European Union is currently an economic union, which means that it has almost removed every internal barrier to trade, therefore achieving the free circulation of all factors of production (goods, services, capital, and persons) across the union. The North America Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”) establishes a free trade area, with the main purpose of eliminating tariffs among its members, and to some extent, reducing other non-tariff barriers to facilitate the cross-border movement of goods. Despite their differences, both regions seek to achieve certain degree of free movement when trading goods within their respective internal markets. This study will analyze …

Mergers And Acquisitions In Europe: Analysis Of Ec Competition Regulations, Youngjun Lee
Mergers And Acquisitions In Europe: Analysis Of Ec Competition Regulations, Youngjun Lee
LLM Theses and Essays
This paper analyzes three competition regulations in the European Community—article 85 and 86 of the EC Treaty and the EC Merger Regulation. Specifically, article 85 focuses on the market structure and article 86 focuses on the market dominance. The paper explores the Merger Regulation, its objectives and its scope. The amendment to the Merger Regulation extending its scope to include smaller-scale mergers and cooperative joint ventures is explained. The paper concludes with the extraterritoriality of the EC competition regulations.

The New Technology Transfer Block Exemption: Will The New Block Exemption Balance The Goals Of Innovation And Competition?, Maurits Dolmans, Anu Bradford
The New Technology Transfer Block Exemption: Will The New Block Exemption Balance The Goals Of Innovation And Competition?, Maurits Dolmans, Anu Bradford
Faculty Scholarship
Licensors and licensees have long enjoyed the benefit of block exemption regulations for technology licensing. Block exemption regulations were adopted in the mid-80s for patent licensing and know-how licenses. These were combined and replaced in 1996 by a unified Technology Transfer Block Exemption Regulation (TTBE). This block exemption is currently under review.
DG Competition is writing a draft for a new T'BE. It is expected to be ready for review by the member states in September, and to be published for comments in October. The Commission hopes to have the new block exemption adopted and published in the first quarter …

Modernization Of European Community Competition Law, Alejandro Leon-Vargas
Modernization Of European Community Competition Law, Alejandro Leon-Vargas
LLM Theses and Essays
The modernization of EC Competition Law is discussed as a necessity on the European Union. Its counterpart, the U.S. Antitrust Law system followed a different evolution. The legislation, institutions and procedures remark the differences among these advanced systems of market control. The role of the EC Commission, national authorities and national courts of Member States will determine the elements to change. Its American counterpart, the Antitrust Division, the Federal Trade Commission, and the federal courts, developed the most effective and dynamic pathways for antitrust enforcing. The analysis of both frameworks must consider several factors, other that legal factors. The relevance …

European Economic And Monetary Union: Will The Emu Ever Fly The Euro: A New Single Currency For Europe: Legal Framework, Roger J. Goebel
European Economic And Monetary Union: Will The Emu Ever Fly The Euro: A New Single Currency For Europe: Legal Framework, Roger J. Goebel
Faculty Scholarship
The title of this article represents a pun, but a pun with a point that responds to the tensions between these dreams of EMU's success and fears of its failure. The emu is a large Australian bird, but, like the better-known ostrich, the emu does not fly. However, it can run very fast. The point is, that during the early stages of planning for the EMU there were some very high-flying aspirations for what it might attain, and what its attainment might mean for the political future of the European Union. Since then, these aspirations have been considerably chilled by …
Major Changes In Council Regulation 3283/94: Its Compatibility With The Uruguay Round Anti-Dumping Code, Sangsoo Son
Major Changes In Council Regulation 3283/94: Its Compatibility With The Uruguay Round Anti-Dumping Code, Sangsoo Son
LLM Theses and Essays
Dumping can be defined as exporting goods at prices below those charged on the domestic market or at prices insufficient to recover the cost of the goods sold. Dumping is considered an unfair trading practice because it interferes with free market economy principles. During the 1980s, anti-dumping measures were an important issue for a few developed countries that had attractive markets for foreign producers; these countries were the United States, the European Community, Canada, and Australia. The European Community (EC) has developed its own anti-dumping laws over the years; Article 113 of the EEC Treaty gives power to Community institutions …
Regulatory Cooperation Between The European Commission And U.S. Administrative Agencies, George Bermann
Regulatory Cooperation Between The European Commission And U.S. Administrative Agencies, George Bermann
Faculty Scholarship
This Article examines the policies and practices of the European Commission toward various forms of bilateral regulatory cooperation with administrative agencies of the United States. To place this Article's findings in a proper perspective, it is essential to understand both (A) the selection of the European Community (E.C.) as an appropriate overseas regulatory jurisdiction for such cooperation and (B) the reasons for focusing on the European Commission among the various E.C. institutions. Those questions are taken up in this Introduction. Part I describes in some detail the organization and functioning of the Commission. Part II – the core of this …
Apec As A New Model Of Regional Economic Cooperation: Compatibility With Gatt, Bing Ding
Apec As A New Model Of Regional Economic Cooperation: Compatibility With Gatt, Bing Ding
LLM Theses and Essays
Today’s driving forces in world trade are private trade, investment flows, technological progress, and job creation. These forces create momentum towards the further integration of economy within their respective regions. The challenge for governments today is to reinforce these trends in favor of long-term economic benefits, while resisting the temptation to make short-term adjustments for growth. Regionalism is being considered as a solution to contemporary international economic problems; with the division of the world into the three major trading blocs of the EC, NAFTA, and APEC, regionalism seems to be the fastest road to multilateral free trade. This paper proposes …
Foreword, George A. Bermann
Foreword, George A. Bermann
Faculty Scholarship
The appearance of the Columbia Journal of European Law is a response to the phenomenal growth of interest in European law among Americans; it will also prove, I hope, to stimulate still further growth in that interest. European law has traditionally played a key role in comparative law teaching and writing in this country, due in part to Europe's deep civil law roots, and it continues to play that role. At the same time, European law figures prominently in the conduct of international transactions and the practices of international trade. Finally, the European Community has proved to be a powerful …
Taking Subsidiarity Seriously: Federalism In The European Community And The United States, George A. Bermann
Taking Subsidiarity Seriously: Federalism In The European Community And The United States, George A. Bermann
Faculty Scholarship
For a principle that has dominated discussions of European federalism for over five years, subsidiarity has received surprisingly poor academic mention. Subsidiarity has been criticized as "inelegant . . .Eurospeak," "the epitome of confusion," and simple "gobbledegook." It has been described by some as nothing new and by others as quite novel and actually quite dangerous. The President of the Commission of the European Communities, said to be an enthusiast of subsidiarity, finds it used at times as an "alibi," and more specifically as "a fig leaf ... to conceal [an] unwillingness to honour the commitments which have already been …
Association Agreements Between The Ec And Central And Eastern European States, Helen E. Hartnell
Association Agreements Between The Ec And Central And Eastern European States, Helen E. Hartnell
Publications
Association agreements that establish increased trade, dialogue and cooperation between the EC and the countries of Central and Eastern Europe have proliferated in recent years. Yet still the relationship between the EC and countries in this region has been characterized by a significant degree of mutual misunderstanding and dissatisfaction. On one side, the high expectations of the Central and East European countries are reflected in their equally high disappointment levels vis-a-vis the EC. And on the other side, one senses that the EC grows weary of what it perceives as complaints and ingratitude.
Against this background, I propose to examine …
Subsidiarity And The European Community, George Bermann
Subsidiarity And The European Community, George Bermann
Faculty Scholarship
The notion of subsidiarity in European federalism labors from all manner of burdens. It seems elusive by nature, commentators claiming that they do not know what subsidiarity means or, if they do, that they do not see in it anything new. At the same time subsidiarity has been presented at least in some quarters as a panacea for the Community's current malaise. It clearly is not that. Even if subsidiarity has not been oversold, it is almost certainly overexposed, a condition that the present Article is unlikely to cure.
My purpose in this Article is simply to help make some …
The Political Ecology Of Takeovers: Thoughts On Harmonizing The European Corporate Governance Environment, Ronald J. Gilson
The Political Ecology Of Takeovers: Thoughts On Harmonizing The European Corporate Governance Environment, Ronald J. Gilson
Faculty Scholarship
Economic policy debate in the United States during the 1980s focused on the dynamics of bidder and target tactics in hostile takeovers. Confronted with the largest transactions in business history, financial economists took advantage of developments in econometric techniques to conduct virtually real time studies of the impact on firm value of each new bidder tactic and target defense. For courts and lawyers, hostile takeovers subjected standard features of corporate law to the equivalent of a stress x-ray, revealing previously undetected doctrinal cracks. Congress held seemingly endless hearings on the subject, although managing to enact only relatively innocuous tax penalties …

Introduction, George A. Bermann
Faculty Scholarship
As recent pages of this journal and and any other number of indicators would suggest, legal developments in the European Community (EC or Community) have sparked unprecedented interest on the part of the American legal profession. That this journal, five or ten years ago, would have devoted an entire issue to these developments, while not unimaginable, was unlikely. Today, however, changes in the world legal community's focus make the choice of topic seem quite obvious. The question now seems not to be whether or even when to address the Community, but rather what specific areas to address and how to …

Corporate Risk Management And Risk Communication In The European Community And The United States, Michael S. Baram
Corporate Risk Management And Risk Communication In The European Community And The United States, Michael S. Baram
Faculty Scholarship
The responsibility of private firms to communicate hazard and risk information to government officials and persons at risk has emerged as one of the central features of corporate risk management in the European Community ("E.C.") and the United States ("U.S."). This function is commonly described as "risk communication."' In both the E.C. and the U.S., new legal requirements and public attitudes now promote corporate disclosure of hazard and risk information on an unprecedented scale.
Corporate risk management is a vast, complex field of activity that is largely unaddressed by commentators and unknown to the general public in both industrial societies. …
Risk Communication Law And Implementation Issues In The United States And European Community, Michael S. Baram
Risk Communication Law And Implementation Issues In The United States And European Community, Michael S. Baram
Faculty Scholarship
Risk communication has become an important element of public policy in the United States and the European Community (E.C.) for reducing technological risks to workers, product users and community residents. The risk communication process involves disclosure by an industrial firm (or other party) of information about the hazardous attributes of its activity or product to a regulatory agency or to persons who may be at risk, thereby facilitating a shared understanding of the risk and enabling interpretation of various risk prevention and response measures.
There are two general patterns of risk communication. One involves industrial disclosure to a government agency, …
