ESMA SMSG call for candidates
The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA)* is seeking candidates to represent the interests of financial markets stakeholders of all types as members of its Securities Markets Stakeholders Group (SMSG).
The SMSG helps to facilitate consultation between ESMA, its Board of Supervisors and stakeholders on ESMA’s areas of responsibility and provides technical advice on its policy development. This helps to ensure that stakeholders can contribute to the formulation of policy from the beginning of the process.
For more information on ESMA, visit the website.
It would be good to get treasurers involved in the group, particularly since the EACT ‘officially’ challenged the composition of the current group in an attempt to address the lack of real economy involvement.
The deadline for applications is 29 January 2016.
Please let us know if you would like to consider applying to join this group. The ACT will be happy to support your application.
* ESMA is an independent EU Authority that contributes to safeguarding the stability of the European Union's financial system by enhancing the protection of investors and promoting stable and orderly financial markets.
