Statement On Edward D. Jones Enforcement Action - SEC Commissioners Luis A. Aguilar, Daniel M. Gallagher, Kara M. Stein And Michael S. Piwowar

Date 13/08/2015

The Commission’s recent enforcement action against Edward D.

Statement Of CFTC Commissioner J. Christopher Giancarlo On The Fifth No-Action Letter Delay Of Staff Advisory 13-69 (Washington, DC)

Date 13/08/2015

As I have repeatedly stated, the benign sounding ‘Staff Advisory 13-69’ should be permanently withdrawn because it represents a threat to American jobs and vital financial markets.

Doing so would be a good first step to helping market participants cope with an increasingly complex, conflicting and costly array of CFTC cross-border regulations.”
