  5. Law as a starting point to policy development • Disparate domestic rules cause barriers to cross-border transactions • It can therefore be argued that there cannot be a complete internal market without internal frontiers under Article 26 TFEU • Mortgage transactions can be viewed as services under Article 57 TFEU (ex Art. 50 EC) • and movements of capital under Article 63 TFEU (ex Art. 56 EC).

  6. Law as a constraint/resource Legal Constraints • Need to comply with existing rules at supranational level • Any relevant international rules and standards Legal Resources • “Fundamental freedoms” • Option to enforce existing legislation • Competence to create new legislation

  7. Modes of Governance: Law as an end point? “Hard Law” Options • present new legislation • enforce existing EU legislation • encourage self-regulation • publish a Recommendation • issue guidelines • develop a 'scoreboard' • do nothing “Soft Law” Options
