Università Roma Tre

In recent decades, the volume of EU legislation on financial law has increased exponentially. Banks, insurers, pension funds, investment firms and other financial institutions all are increasingly subject to European regulatory rules, as are day to day financial transactions.
Serving as a comprehensive and authoritative introduction to European banking and financial law, the course is organized around the three economic themes that are central to the financial industry:
(i) financial markets;
(ii) financial institutions; and
(iii) financial transactions. It covers not only regulatory law, but also commercial law that is relevant for the most important financial transactions.
A final part is focued on technology innovation's effects.

The course is divided into three parts, aimed at providing students with the basics needed to understand how financial markets operate, starting first of all from the system of European sources.
The second part, relating to financial markets, is dedicated to the stock market, to an analysis of market abuse hypotheses and to the examination of consumer rights protection instruments.
Finally, the financial institutions are examined in greater depth, focusing both on the organization of banks and supervisors, and on cases of insolvency on the part of banks, to conclude with investment funds.
