EU and financial services

I am a senior member of the European Parliament's Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON) and I take a particular interest in the regulation and supervision of financial services within the European Union.

In the coming months and years I will be heavily involved in EU and transatlantic efforts to create a more effective approach to preventing and/or resolving crises involving financial institutions that spill beyond national borders.

I will use this section of the website to keep South East constitutents up to date with developments in this regard, and where possible provide them with information on related areas, such as the EU's attempts to regulate hedge funds, private equity and bankers' pay.

Please check for regular updates.

Reflections on the economic crisis and EU response

As the dust settles on the financial crisis and the inquest begins as to who caused it, how and why, now is a good time to reflect on the role the EU is playing to bring European economies out of recession, and prevent such a crisis from occurring again.

Welcome

Hello and welcome to my website. The site will help you keep up to date with some of my latest activities, both in the South East of England and in Brussels.

The site should be fairly easy to navigate. The left hand side contains various links to information that you may find interesting, such as my biography and the role of the European Parliament. Here you will also find a new section that looks to explain in more detail the role of the EU in relation to financial services, which is an area I take a particularly strong interest in. In the centre you will find my latest news and updates. Below is a series of links to archived news stories that you may find interesting.

As your Labour Member of European Parliament, I aim to ensure that your voice and views are represented in Brussels. To do that I must hear from you and welcome any comments you have! I am keen to listen to your opinions, promote your causes and deal with your problems or issues relating to the European Union.
