dc.description.abstractThis paper discusses the effects of European Regulatory Networks on the organizational autonomy of participating National Regulatory Agencies. Based on a broader concept of the term autonomy than hitherto applied in the literature on this topic, this paper examines whether national governments have introduced additional control mechanisms on National Regulatory Agencies to compensate for their increased autonomy due to their participation in European Regulatory Networks. The semi-structured interviews, conducted in the Dutch Authority for Consumer and Market and its oversight ministry, have led to a rejection of the hypothesis. There is no evidence that the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate has introduced additional control mechanisms to compensate for the increased autonomy of the Authority for Consumer and Market, gained from participation in the European Competition Network. Nevertheless, this paper provides a stimulating starting point for further research.en_US
