Erik Thedéen speaks to EU Parliament about new banking rules

Erik Thedéen is commenting today on the EU Commission’s proposed changes to banking regulations during a Q&A session in Brussels in EU Parliament’s Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON).

The comments of Finansinspektionen's Director General focus on the concepts of flexibility and harmonisation and how they influence one another. His conclusion is that the terms are not opposites to one another, but rather that both can and should be utilised to achieve more effective EU regulation in the banking sector.
