Conference

Join Us for a forward- looking conference exploring how to simplify and enhance the EU Regulatory Process in the Financial Services Sector.
Based on the insights of the recent publication : “ Less is more: Rethink financial Regulation in the EU”, the event will address the increasing complexity and fragmentation of the European regulatory landscape.
The event will be kicked off by the MEP Stéphanie Yon-Courtin and Jonas Fernandez. A distinguished panel of experts will present and discuss the report’s findings and recommendations.
This event is organised with the support of the European Association of Co-operative Banks (EACB), European Banking Federation (EBF), WSBI- ESBG, EBIC and EFSA.
