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