The CESR Conference 2009 follows significant efforts by European securities regulators to implement a modernised regulatory framework and to converge practices.
The conference seeks to explore what regulatory changes securities supervisors may need to consider in the light of recent events. From a European perspective, it seeks to evaluate what more needs to be done to create an integrated Single Market which addresses the needs of retail investors (for example through tailored prospectuses in the field of investment management); ensures adequate market transparency in increasingly interdependent global financial markets (where comparative financial information provided through IFRS is key) and addresses a critical element of successful financial markets: effective enforcement across an integrated market.
This programme published today is a draft version which will be updated.
