  • US And European Financial Services Trade Associations Statement On TTIP

    Date 25/03/2014

    The undersigned financial services trade associations, based in the US and Europe, today issued the following statement in support of a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) that includes financial services regulatory coordination, in advance of the March 26 EU-US Summit attended by US President Barack Obama, European Council President Herman Van Rompuy and European Commission President José Manuel Barroso:

    “The EU-US Summit being held this week offers the opportunity for policymakers to further strengthen the longstanding ties of friendship and trust between the two jurisdictions and to deepen their coordination on economic issues to significant mutual advantage.  As part of this, there is the opportunity to enhance their financial regulatory coordination process.  This is fundamental to our intertwined economies and financial markets.  Importantly, a financial services regulatory framework between the US and EU would facilitate and guide efforts to promote consistent and coordinated high-quality regulatory standards in global markets, providing significant benefits to clients.  The opposite approach – divergent and conflicting regulation – risks damaging global growth, job creation, and investment and may hinder the important advances in the effectiveness and strengthening of the new regulatory environment."
