Epfsf - Promoting Effective Dialogue

The European Parliamentary Financial Services Forum facilitates and strengthens the exchange of information on financial services and Europe's financial markets between the financial industry and Members of the European Parliament.

EPFSF - Wolf Klinz“The recent financial crisis turned out to be of a truly global nature. If the Member States of the European Union want to participate actively in shaping the future architecture of the financial markets, they have to speak with one voice. The European Parliament will have to take additional legislative measures which should help to defend European interests and at the same time increase market stability and investor protection. To achieve this objective the Members of the European Parliament need a very close and constructive dialogue with members of the financial services industry. The EPFSF is the ideal forum for such a regular exchange of ideas, concepts and practical knowledge. I am delighted to be able to monitor this dialogue as the Chairman of the EPFSF.”

EPFSF - Peter Skinner"As the third chair and a founding member of the steering committee, it is particularly pleasing to see the EPFSF continue to develop as a platform for a dialogue on financial issues.  In an increasingly smaller financial world the impact of regulator's decisions in the EU, and elsewhere, have a direct bearing on the competitiveness of companies and safeguards for consumers.  It is no small feat that this platform has successfully facilitated open and transparent discussions of these crucial issues in a timely manner.  I look forward to working with my colleagues and the staff of the EPFSF as Vice-Chair for the remainder of my mandate and for the positive good of the industry and consumers alike."
