The European Centre for International Political Economy (ECIPE) describes itself as 'an independent and non-profit policy research think tank dedicated to trade policy and other international economic policy issues of importance to Europe'. It was founded in 2006 by Fredrik Erixon and Razeen Sally.[1]

Criticising German Economic Policy

In May 2010 ECIPE argued that Germany's decision to place a ban on speculative short-selling of securities should be challenged at the World Trade Organization if it is viewed as excessive, ECIPE argued that the move 'could mean that Germany was flouting its commitments in the WTO on market access in financial services'.

ECIPE argued that Germany's ban was not covered by the 'prudential carve-out', that 'allows members to take special measures to ensure the integrity and stability of their financial systems'.A spokesman for ECIPE said:

The German ban is not a prudential regulation, which typically aims at protecting depositors and protects financial systems from excessive risk-taking.

Adding:

In short, the ban is against the founding principles of the WTO and the European Union — to stop disguised or poorly designed domestic regulations that restrict trade, worsen economic crisis and spread it to neighbors [sic].[2]
