Regulatory Issues > Other European
Reports On Financial Analysts
In April 2002, it was agreed among the European Commission and Economic and Finance Ministers that the Commission should assess the role of financial analysts and possible measures to improve their participation in the market. In November 2002, the European Commission services set up a market-focused Forum Group of experts to research and evaluate current regulatory and market practice issues, with a view to recommending optimal regulatory and best practice options within an integrated European capital market.
The report was called: The Forum Group Report Or “Financial Analysts: Best Practices In An Integrated European Financial Market. Recommendations From The Forum Group To The European Commission Services.” It was published on the 4 September 2003. This report suggest the EU should take a principles based approach and control rather than remove conflicts. These recommendations are rather conservative compared to the SEC moves. The main report has nine appendices. We also include the consultation responses.
