eu financial regulation in english July 17, 2009

Posted by Bradley in : translation , comments closed

More recent EU policy-making in English: this week’s proposed amendments to capital requirements are available in English (only), with translations of the citizens’ summaries. The citizens’ summaries are pretty basic. For example, they have a section on who will benefit and how which states under the heading financial system, “more stable” and “climate of confidence on the market”. The consultations which preceded this proposal were also carried out in English and, according to the proposal, produced limited numbers of responses (18 on trading book and securitization provisions and 23 on remuneration). The Commission doesn’t seem to be publishing the text of these responses, although it did publish the text of responses to earlier consultations on regulatory capital.
