Abstract
This paper aims to examine the phenomenon of National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) tasked with the regulation of various domains, as well as the process of amalgamation of existing specialised authorities that leads to their creation. Firstly, the author presents the materials and research methods used. The second part of the study involves mapping the NRAs currently operating in the EU Member States and creating a typology of such authorities, consisting of single-purpose, multi-sector, and “super regulators”. Thirdly, the author verifies his hypothesis that the general consolidation trend of central government administration in Europe also applies to NRAs in the EU Member States and examines selected amalgamations of regulatory agencies in the form of mini case studies. The fourth part addresses the significance of the institutional form (consolidated or specialised) of NRAs from the perspective of regulatory effectiveness, i.e. achieving the EU regulatory objectives.
