February 2011

The European Commission has published a proposal to introduce a common framework for regulatory sanctioning regimes across the EU. The aim is to ensure a consistent and effective application of financial services rules in all member states, at a time when there is increasing convergence and a stronger regulatory framework at European level. These proposals could lead to significant changes in enforcement powers and procedures in some EU member states. Comments are sought by 19 February 2011.
