In addition to the question of which media and services should be regulated and to what extent, the regulatory apparatus itself has been a topic of debate for some time now. The discussion has particularly centred on the possibility, either alongside or instead of traditional legislation parliamentary acts, ordinances, directives, etc), of introducing "alternative" forms of regulation. Self- monitoring, self-regulation and co-regulation are examples of these alternative types of regulation, the boundaries between which are difficult to define.The IRIS Special, which deals with co-regulation as an alternative to traditional forms of regulation, is divided into three parts.Four questions form a central theme throughout the various articles: Is there already a legal framework for co-regulation ? Are there good or bad examples of its use ? What tools are needed for this and who is in charge of them ? Consideration is also given to possible differences between national and supranational co-regulation and to whether there is need for a European framework for co-regulation.This publication explains co-regulation, offers current examples of its use and discusses possible areas in which it may applied. It describes the characteristics and legal requirements of co-regulation, as well as the chances and risks associated with it.
