ESMA calls for candidates for the Consultative Working Group of its Secondary Markets Standing Committee

26 March 2012

The CWG advises and assists the Standing Committee in all matters related to ESMA work on secondary markets, in particular in relation to issues in the context of the review of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive.

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) today launches a process to renew the composition of the Consultative Working Group (CWG) of the ESMA Secondary Markets Standing Committee (SMSC). ESMA is therefore calling for expressions of interest from stakeholders.

The term of the existing CWG will expire in April 2012. While the existing group was composed following nominations of individuals by financial supervisors, ESMA has put in place a new process and will from now on select members based on an open call for candidates published on the ESMA website (precise details are described in the annex to this call).

Members of the CWG, which should not exceed 18 in total, will be individuals appointed to represent in balanced proportions to as wide a degree as possible relevant areas of expertise in European secondary markets.

This call for expressions of interest is open to suitable candidates from any part of the EU.
