El Banco Central Europeo publica distintos documentos de trabajo Documentos de Trabajo de contenido jurídico. El más reciente es el publicado el pasado mes de julio: Ana Petrovic y Ralf Tutsch, “National Rescue Measures in Response to the Current Financial Crisis”, [ECB Legal Working Paper Series 8 (julio 2009), 104 pp.].
Es un documento útil para poder apreciar las distintas medidas adoptadas con una perspectiva de corto plazo por los Estados miembros de la Unión Europea a partir de octubre del año 2008. Cuenta con una presentación de Antonio Sainz de Vicuña, Director General de los Servicios Jurídicos del Banco Central Europeo, quien señala:
“The current financial crisis is unprecedented and has dramatically shown the weaknesses of global interconnected financial markets, especially concerning the underestimation and underpricing of risk. These weaknesses have been and remain to be addressed by European legislators, both in the short term and in the long term.
This paper deals with the short-term measures taken by EU Member States to counter the immediate effects of the crisis, as adopted from October 2008 onwards. The intention is to provide a detailed overview of such rescue measures.
With regard to the challenges identified above, reform of worldwide financial sector legislation has only yet started. This paper is intended to serve as a useful tool for prospective legislative activities in this field".
Quienes estudien la crisis financiera encontrarán en ese documento una evidencia sobre su alcance y sobre las distintas reacciones.
