On 10 June 2025, The European Association of Co-operative Banks (EACB) has submitted its response to the European Commission’s targeted consultation on the integration of EU capital markets.
In our response, we highlight that EU capital markets continue to face significant regulatory burdens. We believe that simplification should be a key priority to ensure more effective and efficient market functioning. We also stress the importance of aligning and simplifying legislative proposals currently under discussion.
In particular, attention should be given to simplifying reporting standards, ensuring consistent data definitions across different regulatory frameworks, and promoting harmonisation of supervisory reporting. In this context, greater harmonisation of transaction reporting requirements under frameworks such as EMIR, MiFIR, and SFTR is essential.
