Report on Commission conference “EUROPEAN FINANCIAL INTEGRATION: PROGRESS AND PROSPECTS”

15 July 2004

Proceedings at the Commission’s June 22/23 conference at the Palais Egmont

Worries about the threat of costly new legislation, fears that the implementation of Financial Services Action Plan (FSAP) legislation could “renationalize domestic markets through the back door,” and a demand that the European Commission should be sensitive to the international competitive challenge to the EU’s financial institutions. These were amongst the themes which emerged at a two day conference which the Commission organized in Brussels at the end of June.
