European Commission: Public consultation on securitisation


Default: Change to:


An EU-wide initiative on 'high-quality' securitisation would need to ensure high standards of process, legal certainty and comparability across securitisation instruments through a higher degree of standardisation of products.


High-quality securitisation would notably increase the transparency, consistency and availability of key information for investors, including in the area of SME loans, and promote increased liquidity. This should facilitate issuance of securitised products, and allow institutional investors to perform due diligence on products that match their asset diversification, return and duration needs.

The Commission is launching the consultation alongside the Green Paper on Capital Markets Union. This consultation represents a first step towards a possible initiative on creating an EU framework for simple, transparent and standardised securitisation. Its aim is to gather information and views from stakeholders on the current functioning of European securitisation markets and how the EU legal framework can be improved to create a sustainable market for high-quality securitisation. On the basis of the feedback received, the Commission will reflect further on how to reach that objective.

The Commission is seeking feedback from the European Parliament and the Council, other EU institutions, national parliaments, businesses, the financial sector and all those interested. All stakeholders and interested parties are invited to submit their contributions by 13 May 2015.
