Queen Mary University of London’s Centre for Commercial Law Studies (CCLS) request the pleasure of your company at the following seminar:

European Capital Markets Union: where are we after 4 years? Where are we going?
 

A new Commission, a new Parliament, a new ECB President, Brexit, general uncertainty in national and international politics, supervisory reform and a call for sustainable finance.

How will these and other factors complement or affect the delivery of the CMU?  In this session, the speaker will briefly describe what the CMU is, where it stands and discuss the challenges being faced by regulators and regulated entities, as well as focus on specific cases as that of sustainable finance, FinTech and big data and their importance for Europeans and citizens worldwide.
