10th Annual QED Conference on Cross-border regulation of financial services

Hybrid Conference

Discussion Point

  • What are the main steps needed to construct a regulatory environment that inspires trust?
  • How can a strong, stable regulatory dimension respect national boundaries in the light of globalisation and increased mobility?
  • Equivalence is often conditional on reciprocity by the third country. How can this work out in practice, to build enduring relationships between the EU and third countries?
  • How can the CMU and Banking Union help to strengthen the EU’s role as a global player?
  • How is the current situation with the economic crisis, high inflation, the war in Ukraine, increasing protectionism etc. affecting the appetite for further regulatory cooperation?
