Goals / Remit
The World Federation of Exchanges (WFE) is the global trade association for regulated exchanges and clearing houses. We represent the operators of over 250 market infrastructures, spread across the Asia-Pacific region (34%), EMEA (45%) and the Americas (21%), with everything from local entities in emerging markets to international groups based in major financial centres. In total, member exchanges trade around $140 trillion a year and are home to some 50,000 companies, with an aggregate market capitalisation of around $100 trillion. The 90 central counterparty (CCP) clearing services (both vertically integrated and stand-alone) collectively ensure that traders put up $1.3 trillion of resources to back their risk positions. With extensive experience of developing and enforcing high standards of conduct, WFE members support an orderly, secure, fair and transparent environment for all sorts of investors and companies wishing to invest, raise capital and manage financial risk.

Meetings
Meetings

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
