The World Future Council and the EU Office of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung would like to invite you to an international workshop on

A Mandatory Approval of
Financial Instruments / Finance TÜV[1

September 22nd/23rd 2014

Venue
EU Office
Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung
Rue du Taciturne 38
1000 Brussels

Complex financial instruments increase levels of opacity – the contrary to transparency. Next to financial institutions, financial instruments are systemically important. The desire to overcome regulation remains a significant driver of new financial instruments. The workshop will explore policies which apply the precautionary principle to financial instruments as tools to shape future regulatory reforms. We will draw lessons from history, e.g. the US mandatory approval for derivatives from 1974 to 2000, and investigate other areas such as the pharmaceutical sector

Excellent policy-orientated academia on this issue will be brought together to discuss key aspects with policy makers, regulators and financial sector practitioners. The aim is to stimulate political activity of MEPs and the European Commission

The confirmed panelists include: Peter Simon, MEP, Jakob von Uexküll, World Future Council,Henry T.C. Hu, University of Texas, Saule T. Omarova, Cornell Law School, New York, Jan Ceyssens, European Commission, Hilary J. Allen, University of New Orleans, Robert C.
