🇬🇧 English

This opinion backs EU proposals to make capital markets more integrated and more consistently supervised across the Union. The proposals would update a wide set of financial market rules, including those covering securities markets, central counterparties, settlement systems, crypto-assets, benchmarks, securitisation, credit ratings and fund distribution. For banks, investment firms, market infrastructure providers, fund managers, crypto-asset firms and supervisors, the practical message is that EU financial supervision may become more centralised and harmonised. Businesses active across borders should expect closer EU-level coordination, clearer settlement rules and potentially less fragmented national oversight over time.
