September hat zahlreiche Neuerungen gebracht. Neben einer Reform der EU-Finanzmarktaufsicht soll ein Europäisches Semester ab 2011 sicherstellen, dass nationale Wirtschafts- und Fiskalpolitik zunächst in Brüssel bewertet wird, bevor die Mitgliedstaaten sie beschließen. Worum geht es genau?...

Between 2005 and 2009 the use of e-government by individuals in the EU-27 climbed from 23% to 30% on average; the share of individuals shopping online rose from 24% to 37%. Cross-border purchases rose from 26% to 29% between 2006 and 2009 and the EU-27 average for those using online banking climbed from 19% in 2005 to 32% in 2009.

Abstract:  SEPA aims to realise a Europe-wide single market in non-cash bulk payment transactions. Cross-border credit transfers, direct debits and card payments are to become just as efficient, inexpensive and secure as national payments. It has been possible to make SEPA credit transfers since January 2008 and SEPA direct debits since November 2009. At the moment, however, the SEPA format is only being used for one in thirteen credit transfers. The European Commission has decided to intervene by means of a regulation that sets an end-date for the parallel operation of national systems and the new SEPA system. Both the German government and the Federation of German Consumer Organisations (vzbz) consider the final migration of national account numbers and sort codes to IBAN and BIC to be asking too much of consumers. But what is truly unbearable is that a speedy changeover is being prevented by the protracted process...

Abstract:  Das Ziel von SEPA ist die Umsetzung eines europaweit einheitlichen Binnenmarktes im bargeldlosen Massenzahlungsverkehr. Grenzüberschreitende Überweisungen, Lastschriften und Kartenzahlungen sollen dadurch genau so effizient, kostengünstig und sicher abgewickelt werden können wie nationale Zahlungen. SEPA-Überweisungen sind seit Januar 2008 möglich, SEPA-Lastschriften seit November 2009. Bislang wird jedoch nur bei jeder 13. Überweisung innerhalb der EU das SEPA-Format genutzt. Die Europäische Kommission hat beschlossen, mittels einer Verordnung einzugreifen und ein Enddatum für den Parallelbetrieb nationaler Systeme und des neuen SEPA-Systems festzulegen. Die Bundesregierung und der vzbv sehen in der endgültigen Migration von nationalen Kontonummern und Bankleitzahlen auf IBAN und BIC eine Zumutung für den Verbraucher. Die wahre Zumutung liegt aber wohl eher in einer Verschleppung der zügigen Umstellung...

Die Nutzung von E-Government durch Einzelpersonen hat im EU-27 Durchschnitt zwischen 2005 und 2009 von 23% auf 30% zugenommen; Interneteinkäufe legten von 24% auf 37% zu. Grenzüberschreitende Einkäufe sind zwischen 2006 und 2009 von 26% auf 29% gewachsen und der EU-27 Durchschnitt der Nutzung von Online-Banking stieg von 19% im Jahr 2005 auf 32% im Jahr 2009.

A European Private Company: Is Europe’s single legal form for SMEs close to approval? Abstract:  German SMEs wanting to do business in other EU states are virtually unable to set up subsidiaries there in the form of a German private limited company (GmbH). Potential clients are wary of foreign legal forms; they are afraid of dealing with mailbox firms. This is why companies normally choose a legal form typical of the location (such as the S.à r.l. in France or the Sp. z o.o. in Poland). As a result, the companies incur not inconsiderable costs for legal advice, as they seldom possess detailed knowledge about legal forms of business organisation abroad. ...

Debt brakes for Euroland: Strengthening the stability pact with national debt rules Abstract:  The euro-area countries urgently need to slash their debt and they will have to find new ways to address this task in the process. Germany’s debt brake is an intelligent concept for achieving a long-term reduction in public debt that could also be remodelled to fit the conditions in other euro countries. National debt brakes could help cut public debt on a long-term horizon without jeopardising the growth prospects of the euro-area economies.

Gas glut reaches Europe: Major impact on prices, security and market structure Abstract:  A gas glut is heralding the dawn of a new era in the continental European gas market. The free-market price of gas will become the new benchmark and will be the guide for the price of pipeline gas. The new price environment is creating many opportunities and challenges for domestic customers, industrial users, municipal utilities, regional energy suppliers, independent traders, newcomers, power plant operators, importers and gas producers. The areas concerned are(traditionally)long-term contracts and the typical large-scale projects regarding pipeline construction, LNG infrastructure and gas storage facilities. The security of supply in Europe is improving, not least because the gas glut impairs the powerful position of the “Gas OPEC”.
