This innovative Commentary boasts contributions from internationally renowned experts with extensive and diverse backgrounds, providing a comprehensive, critical, article-by-article and thematic analysis of the EU Regulation No 1503/2020 on European Crowdfunding Service Providers for Business (ECSPR). Chapters analyse Member States’ adaptation of their legal frameworks to the ECSPR, underlying similarities, divergences, additional problematic issues and residual regulatory fragmentation.

Key Features:

  • A theoretical and cross-sectoral approach to crowdfunding services and relative regulations
  • Constant comparison of ECSPR’s provisions with other similar or interrelated EU frameworks
  • An article-by-article and thematic analysis of the ECSPR, underlying its strengths, innovative characters, and problematic aspects.
  • Analysis of the implementation of the ECSPR in different countries and adaptation of their legal frameworks, including France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, Nordic countries and the Baltics

The Commentary is a fundamental companion to the interpretation and application of the ECSPR which will appeal to a diverse range of readers. Academics, scholars, practitioners and professionals interested in financial regulation, EU law, technology law, business law, law of contracts, competition law, international law and comparative law will find this a beneficial resource.
