EU influence on law enforcement and international cooperation in the field of insider dealing

In this contribution, I aim to describe the influence of the Market Abuse Directive on the organization of administrative and criminal law enforcement and, particularly, how this impacts on transnational cooperation. On a national level, administrative law enforcement (financial supervision) and criminal law enforcement are often closely related. How this relationship is given shape exactly, differs from one country to another. This may have an impact on transnational cooperation. Whereas in transnational cases requests for mutual administrative assistance are necessary for administrative law purposes, for criminal law enforcement purposes requests for mutual assistance in criminal matters (or judicial assistance) are needed. Does this distinction between mutual administrative assistance and mutual assistance in criminal matters pay due respect to differences in national law enforcement in the field of insider dealing?
