Joint ISDA/FIA Europe response - CMU Green paper and position paper
On 18 February the European Commission (Commission) launched its flagship Capital Markets Union (CMU) project with three consultation papers. The first is an overall policy green paper examining practical barriers and obstacles to creating a CMU. The paper looks at questions including availability and standardisation of SME credit information, the development of private placement markets, promoting greater liquidity in corporate bond markets, reducing the costs to fund managers of setting up and marketing funds across the EU, increasing retail investment, facilitating the access of EU firms to investors and capital markets in third countries, targeted changes to securities ownership rules, improving the legal enforceability of collateral and close-out netting arrangements cross-border and harmonisation of insolvency laws. The other consultations launched covered the revision of the Prospectus Directive and a consultation on Securitisation. All three consultations closed on 13 May.
