The European Institute of Public Administration (EIPA) is organising further follow-up seminars on the state of the European financial services sector entitled

EU Banking and Financial Law: A New Strategy?

We are pleased to invite you to participate in these seminars. The first one will take place in Maastricht (NL) on 2-3 June 2005 and then again on 1-2 December 2005 taking into account recent developments.

Please see the description & programme for further details.

The objective of these EIPA seminars is to present the outcome of the FSAP and to examine the need for post-FSAP legislative initiatives. An overview will be provided of all legislative proposals adopted so far, their state of progress and degree of implementation. Experts from the European Commission, academia and the financial services sector will comment on the progress made.

These seminars are designed for anyone involved in the implementation of financial services’ or sectoral legislation, central bankers, as well as lawyers and practitioners working in this area. The seminars will be held in English.
