QE programs in contrast with the prohibition of monetary financing in the light of the crisis and the jurisprudence – thoughts on CJ, C-493/17, Weiss and others

Our partner Vassilis Karayianis composed the article “QE programs in contrast with the prohibition of monetary financing in the light of the crisis and the jurisprudence – thoughts on CJ, C-493/17, Weiss and others” that was publiched on the latest issue of “Εφαρμογών Δημοσίου Δικαίου”.

The article is basically a legal commentary to the judgment C-493/17, Weiss and others of the Court of justice of the EU, which concerned the compatibility with EU Law of the QE programs and more specifically the programs of repurchase on behalf of the ECB of State bonds of various Member States. Dr Karayiannis takes the opportunity to comment more generally from a legal point of view on the jurisprudence of the Court of justice related to the measures taken from time to time by the institutions of the EU and / or the Member States aiming to tackle the consequences of the financial crisis and the crisis of the Euro zone.
