Gibson-Smith, chairman of the London Stock Exchange, called European policy makers to break down the barriers that prevent stock exchanges from competing with each other in order.
Gibson-Smith singled out for criticism the so-called 'silo' structure as used by the Deutsche Börse, which allows stock exchanges to also own post-trade activities such as clearing and settlement.
'At present, ownership of clearing and settlement by national exchanges is a barrier to effective competition for exchange services,' Gibson-Smith is reported as saying.
