Banking supervision : global challenges and opportunities for the EU after the banking union

Abstract

While most discussions in the EU relating to the financial crisis have thus far been mainly inward-looking, this roundtable discussion will seek to apply an outward-looking focus by exploring the potential for the EU to shape global standards for banking regulation and supervision in international standard-setting fora. It will consider substantive regulatory issues currently under debate internationally; as well as governance aspects such as EU representation and conditions for EU leadership in those fora.
