Goals / Remit
FIA Europe seeks to sustain industry growth and enhance the integrity of markets and firms through the cycle of regulatory change. It works with members to maintain constructive dialogue with government and regulatory authorities and deliver high standards of industry practice.
FIA Europe is principally concerned with financial and commodity exchange-traded derivatives markets. However, it also addresses related issues arising in other markets (e.g. OTC markets) or issues that have a cross-sectoral impact.
FIA Europe achieves these goals by:
engaging in regulatory and market liaison - dialogue with government, regulatory authorities, exchanges and others;
submitting formal position papers and responses to regulatory discussion and consultation papers;
facilitating an exchange of views and resolving issues between members and others through committees, forum meetings and member "ring-rounds"
engaging pro-actively with parliamentary groups in the UK and Brussels;
supporting and taking forward member issues via its helpline services;
issuing industry guidelines, publications and legal opinions;
maintaining documentation libraries;
holding events - IDX, Power Trading Dinner, InfoNet and member seminars, workshops and "roundtables"Main EU files targeted
EMIR:
The European regulation on OTC derivatives, central counterparties (CCPs) and trade repositories (TRs) – European Markets Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) - came into force on 16 August 2012. Designed to improve transparency and reduce the risks associated with derivatives markets, EMIR also establishes common organisational, conduct of business and prudential standards for CCPs and trade repositories. EMIR imposes requirements on all types and sizes of entities that enter into any form of derivative contract, including those not involved in financial services. It applies indirectly to non-EU firms trading with EU firms.
MiFID:
The recast Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) and Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation (MiFIR) are the European Commission’s attempt to reform the capital markets, following the effects of the financial crisis, as well as to update the original MiFID, published in 2007, to take account of new features in the marketplace, such as fragmentation, increasing use of algorithms and the predominance of high frequency trading, and the rise of dark pools.Address
