Abstract

i) In broader sense regulation embraces public intervention as a whole. It is mainly used in opposition to competition law. However, it does not give rise to new legal and administrative techniques, and does not reflect the nature of the powers entrusted to sectoral regulators. ii) With proper safeguards, public Administration can outsource ancillary activities. iii) Self-regulation should be recognized and even promoted by the legal system. However, its role is complementing rather than replacing regulation.
