The ESFRC is a group of 13 professors and other independent experts drawn from across Europe. Chaired by Harald Benink, who is a professor of finance at the Rotterdam School of Management of Erasmus University Rotterdam and who is a senior associate to the Financial Markets Group of the London School of Economics, the Committee meets three times each year to discuss issues in financial regulation and to issue policy recommendations.
Karel Lannoo, Chief Executive Officer of CEPS, is a member of the Committee.
Following each meeting, the ESFRC issues a statement on a topical aspect of financial regulation. These are reproduced in full below.
