Adam Maciejewski has been appointed to the Board of the Federation of European Securities Exchanges (FESE).
On 20 November 2013, the General Assembly appointed Mr Adam Maciejewski, President of the Management Board of Warsaw Stock Exchange, to the Board of the Federation of European Securities Exchanges (FESE). Warsaw Stock Exchange has co-operated with FESE since 1992, was granted the status of associated member in 1999, and has been a full member of FESE since June 2004.
“I am honoured by the appointment to the Board of FESE, an organisation which is crucial to the growth of the European capital market, especially in the time of significant and dynamic changes on the market. In view of the advancing globalisation of trading, the debated regulatory changes and the transition in infrastructure, the role of an organisation working for the sake of a transparent capital market in Europe is pivotal. I accept this honour with great satisfaction and wish to thank the other members for the trust they have put in me. One of the pillars of the activity of WSE is strengthening of the Polish capital market by introducing Western European standards and through further integration with the other European markets. I believe that WSE and the entire Polish capital market should play a much greater role in Europe than ever before; the membership of the Board of FESE and the Board of Directors of Aquis Exchange will serve this goal,” said Adam Maciejewski, President of the Management Board of WSE.
The Federation of European Securities Exchanges (FESE) represents 41 exchanges in equities, bonds, derivatives and commodities through 21 Full Members from 30 countries as well as 2 non-European Observer Members. Some FESE members are exchanges or groups of exchanges present on multiple national markets. At the end of October 2013, FESE members had close to 9,000 companies listed on their regulated markets as well as 1,460 companies listed on alternative trading markets which allow small and medium-sized companies to access capital.
The FESE Board is the second management authority of FESE after the General Assembly. The Board is composed of maximum 12 members appointed for a term of three years by the General Assembly. The statutory responsibilities of the Board are, inter alia, to frame overall policy and strategy and the submission of related recommendations, as appropriate, to the General Assembly for approval, as well as to adopt a Strategic Plan for FESE outlining strategic priorities on a periodic basis.
