  • Libor Scandal: European Commission Proposes EU-Wide Action To Fight Rate-Fixing

The European Commission has today acted to address this kind of market manipulation, by adopting amendments to the proposals for a Regulation and a Directive on insider dealing and market manipulation, including criminal sanctions, initially tabled on 20 October 2011 (see IP/11/1217 and IP/11/1218). Today's amendments will clearly prohibit the manipulation of benchmarks, including LIBOR and EURIBOR, and make such manipulation a criminal offence.
