European Parliament's Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee Vice-Chairman to give evidence to Lords EU Committee
What are the EU-27's priorities for Brexit? Will the end of passporting be felt differently on each side of the channel? Is there enough, or too much, space allowed for national regulators to deviate from EU standards?
These are among the issues that the House of Lords EU Financial Affairs Sub-Committee will be raising with Dr Kay Swinburne, MEP and Vice Chairman of the European Parliament's Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee.
Other questions the Committee is likely to ask at 11.15am on Wednesday 20 December 2017 include:
- Are the UK's asks on financial services clear? What is the perception of the UK's position in Brussels?
- Would the EU-27 benefit from an agreement that went beyond equivalence?
- What should the EU-27's key priorities for regulation be over the coming years?
- Are the EU Commission's proposals to potentially institute a location policy for clearing houses (CCPs) justified? How will this affect UK and EU counterparties?
- Which segments of the EU-wide financial services industry are likely to be hit hardest by Brexit?
- How welcome is the review of the European Supervisory Agencies (ESAs)?
The evidence session will take place at 11.15am on Wednesday 20 December in Committee Room 4A of the House of Lords.
