Der institutionelle Regulierungsrahmen für die europäische Energiewirtschaft

This book analyses the regulatory system for the European energy economy based on the legal order of the European Union und its regulatory traditions. It defines the institutional framework as a multilevel administrative system with public and self-regulatory elements, which exemplifies the general move away from stringently thinking in terms of direct and indirect law enforcement. The transformation of the European multilevel administrative system towards integrated law enforcement is a result of a controversial debate on the legal framework for competence transfer in the EU’s legal system and the requirements of uniform regulation of European energy markets. The book elaborates on the complexity of the current European administrative system for energy regulation based on a detailed analysis of its structural and procedural elements.
