Second in a series of high-level roundtables organised by the CEPS Financial Institutions Unit on the future of financial regulation in Europe. These will gather researchers, industry experts, and key policy-makers to debate the future design and potential consequences of forthcoming financial regulatory frameworks.
Omnibus II has been adopted by the EC in January 2011 and yet has not been voted by the European Parliament because of a delayed schedule, which will impact the overall planning for implementation. The main points of discussion within the trialogue between the Commission, Council and Parliament are the package of measures to deal with long-term guaranteed liabilities and the equivalence assessment of non-EEA jurisdictions. Other pending issues are proportionality, financial requirements issues, impact of the financial crisis (sovereign debt crisis). The roundtable will assess progress in the regulatory framework and will examine the most contentious issues including the impact of the rules on long term investments in the EU.
