Brussels, Belgium — MFA issued the following statement in response to the European Commission adopting a market integration and supervision package:
Today’s announcement demonstrates the Commission’s commitment to boosting competitiveness and advancing capital markets integration across the EU. The proposed centralised reporting hub, in particular, is an important first step in lowering reporting costs and reducing duplicative data requirements, ensuring the market remains attractive to international investors. The package’s swift approval will help facilitate more integrated and well-functioning European capital markets.” — Jillian Flores, MFA Chief Advocacy Officer
