布魯塞爾效應

维基百科,自由的百科全书

布鲁塞尔效应(英語:Brussels effect),是指欧盟事实上(但不一定是法律上)通过市场机制将其法律推廣至境外,导致其单边监管全球化的过程。因為布鲁塞尔效应,受监管的实体,特別是公司,最终会出于各种原因,即使處在欧盟之外,也遵守欧盟法律。

词源[编辑]

2012年,哥倫比亞大學法律教授布雷佛德英语Anu Bradford创造該術語[1][2][3],以美国类似的概念「加州效應」(英語:California effect)命名。[4]

原因[编辑]

欧洲联盟的市场规模、市场重要性[1]、相對嚴格的標準與監管能力[5] 促使國際業者發現若在非欧盟市场上保持低标准,在经济上、法律上或技术上都是不切实际的。非歐盟公司為在全球範圍貿易,统一采用歐盟制定的标准是有益的。 [6][7]

影响[编辑]

加州效應布魯塞爾效應都是監管競爭的某種形式。處在多種监管环境中的公司有誘因採用最严格的标准,以更容易在全球範圍內生产與出口。[8][9][10] 與此相反,德拉瓦州效应(英語:Delaware effect)則是司法辖区有意降低监管要求,以吸引寻求最不严格标准的企业。[11]

迄今为止,学者们无法通过经验驗证布鲁塞尔效应在国际法中的界限,特别是世贸法中的界限。[12] 不僅如此,是否發生布鲁塞尔效应,無須積累地滿足布雷佛德英语Anu Bradford設定的先决条件。[13] 研究顯示,根据所涉法规的背景,欧盟的监管权力有很大差异。[14][15]
