Abstract

As part of the rapprochement between juridical science and management science, alongside the disciplines of Law and Economics and Law and Finance a new approach known as Law and Management has appeared (Masson & Bouthinon–Dumas 2011, p. 233). The latter aims at demonstrating that the law is not simply a source of constraint for economic operators; it can also be a source of opportunity and a lever for business prosperity. In this sense, this approach aims at understanding how businesses can use the law to their advantage and make it a decisive factor for their development (Ibidem). In the particular context of developing a competitive European strategy, the consideration of fair competition can render this new approach highly significant.
In particular, it is necessary to reinforce European legislation in social, fiscal and environmental matters. The diversity of national legislation relative to each of these sectors infringes upon the consistency of the juridical environment to which economic operators should have access based on fair competition. In the context of the current economic crisis it is becoming increasingly necessary for European institutions to duly take this legitimate interest into account.
