Forum Financier EUROFI 2010
28/09/2010
A few weeks before the Seoul G20 Summit, the Eurofi think tank,
co-chaired by Jacques de Larosière, is organising its annual
international forum in Brussels (Centre Flagey) alongside the EU
Council of Finance Ministers meeting, which will also be taking
place in Brussels.
This international event will bring together the main public decision-makers from the Commission, Parliament, Council, European Central Bank and regulators, as well as many leaders from the banking, insurance and market industries to discuss the priorities for financial supervision and regulation required to further strengthen financial stability and economic growth. Users of the European financial market (issuers, businesses, consumers) will also be invited to have their say on the actions to be taken in this area.
Discussions on the first day of this forum will look at the regulatory priorities for the Belgian Presidency as well as the Commission's legislative agenda in the financial services sector and the need to define a new European action plan: revision of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID), implementation of the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA), Solvency 2 application measures, revision of the pension funds directive, organisation of derivatives markets, draft directive on securities clearing and settlement-delivery activities, consumer protection, etc.
These discussions will highlight the specific regulatory changes to be planned for concerning market and payment infrastructures, in addition to those relating to the various financial institutions: fund managers, pension funds, insurers, retail and investment banks, at domestic or cross-border levels.
During the following days, in view of the coming G20 Summit in Seoul, discussions will focus on defining a European common regulatory and supervisory basis to achieve resilience, growth and competitiveness. Progress made with the measures recommended by the De Larosière Report will also be reviewed (Systemic Risk Committee, European authorities, etc.).
Specific exchanges will make it possible to define under which conditions long-term investment can fully perform its role as regards financial stability and economic growth.
