EIM Financial - December 2013


Big success for the Lithuanian Presidency: Five pieces of financial services legislation 'in the bag' in December - but two 'got away' for the moment: MiFID and SRM.

Summary

A virtual torrent of agreements on significant pieces of financial services legislation was agreed in the last few days of 2013. Five were ‘bagged’ but two got away – even if only temporarily: MiFID and SRM. Those in the bag were:

  1. Bank "bail-in directive" - BRRD
  2. Parliament and Council negotiators break depositor-taxpayer link - DGS
  3. Council confirms agreement with EP on Market Abuse Directive (creating the first EU level criminal offences)
  4. Reform of the audit market
  5. Regulation on central securities depositories.
