Bloomberg: Europe market structure debate needs more consensus


FESE chairman Christian Katz has said that European bourses should focus on how to implement new rules, after a wave of global regulation.

The industry groups and stakeholders -- that is, exchanges, banks, customers and the public -- should be less against each other and more together. There should be joint effort for capital market solutions. The industry needs to focus on implementation", Katz, said. “While we are in the final legs of MiFID, the lobbying is done, and it’s more about implementation. We need to focus on implementation, preferably joint implementation.”
