The European Parliament is currently working on an Own Initiative Report.

The European Parliament is currently working on an Own Initiative Report on "The EU role in the framework of international financial, monetary and regulatory institutions and bodies".

The workshop's aim is to provide ECON Members of Parliament with information and background on the current situation of EU representation within selected international entities in the economic area engaged in financial standard setting. It is based on a series of papers by different authors on the role of the EU in G20, FSB, OECD, BCBS, IOSCO, IAIS, IASB and IOPS (possibly supplemented with information on the IMF). The authors will briefly present their main conclusions and discuss with ECON Members and participants. Mr Paul Tucker, Senior Fellow at the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government at Harvard Kennedy School and at Harvard Business School, Boston (USA), is invited to give a short introduction and foster the debate with a transatlantic view.
