“As a general principle”, the paper mentions, “CESR’s view is that the ISD should not favor any particular market structure. Although regulation of Investment Services must be designed to create an appropriate framework for markets it should be neutral so as to create a level playing field, and allow choice for investors and issuers. Market structures consist among other things of a set of services offered to the public. It should thus be left to the markets to decide what structures better serve the interests of different market participants.”
