Enforcing the market abuse regime: Towards an integrated model of criminal and administrative law enforcement in the European Union?

The European Union has long    been an important driver for the integration of  nancialmarkets in Europe.
  e goal of this article is to map how the current and future legalinfrastructure  in  respect  of  the  investigation,  prosecution  and punishment  of  marketabuse rules supports the central assumption of the EU legislature that, in order to o era  comprehensive  package  in  the   ght  against  market  abuse,  a  level  playing   eldthroughout  the  EU  is  necessary.  Although  good  progress  has  been  made  with  theproposals  for  a  new regulation and  directive on market abuse,  it  is  our  opinion  thatthese proposals  still  do  not  suciently take account of the  fact  that highly  integrated nancial markets also need highly integrated law enforcement structures and powers,regardless of the organizational statute of the national authorities involved (criminal oradministrative).
