Administrative sanctions and regulated markets

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the problem of administrative sanctions from the categories of the Regulatory haw. The author argues that the activity of the regulatory does not constitute a new function of the public Administration. On the contrary, there is an overlap on traditional concepts such as police and public service, but supported by other grounds: techniques of intervention before market's failures. With such a purpose, the administrative sanctions are assessed according to the criteria of the doctrine of the Regulation, which includes many principles already contained in our law.
