  • EBA Identifies Divergent Supervisory Practices In The Implementation Of Its Guidelines On The Assessment Of The Suitability Of Members Of The Management Body And Key Function Holders

    Date 22/07/2015

    The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today its peer review report on the assessment of the suitability of members of the management body and key function holders. The report shows that National Competent Authorities (NCAs) largely comply with the EBA guidelines. The EBA analysis identified best practices carried out by some NCAs, but also highlighted significant differences remaining between NCAs' supervisory approaches. The EBA concluded that the existing EBA guidelines have not led to sufficient convergence in supervisory practices, and proposed the incorporation in its forthcoming review of the guidelines of a number of specific best practices observed. The EBA also intends to send an opinion to the European Commission suggesting a change in the underlying Capital Requirements Directive (CRD) framework.

  • Euronext Wins Court Case VS. TOM And Binckbank

    Date 22/07/2015

    Euronext welcomes the verdict by the District Court in the Hague, the Netherlands, in the proceedings on the merits against TOM and BinckBank, which upheld Euronext’s claim that TOM had breached its various intellectual property rights by trademark infringement, database infringement, breach of contract and publishing misleading information and activities for investors. The Court has awarded the majority of Euronext’s claims, after Euronext was already vindicated in the summary proceedings. The Court found that TOM’s and BinckBank’s claims that their systems offer the best price are “misleading statements” and should therefore be removed from the websites of both companies. Moreover TOM and BinckBank both have to place an announcement regarding misleading advertisement of their Smart Order Router on the websites of Alex, BinckBank and TOM.
