		<description><![CDATA[As a senior member of both the European Parliament&#8217;s ECON committee and the Delegation for Relations with the United States, I take a very close interest in the issue of convergence of regulation between the EU and US, particularly in the area of financial services.
Since the  high-level commitments made by leaders at the G20 (photo, below), the task of overhauling the financial regulatory architecture in both the EU and US has fallen to lawmakers such as myself, my colleagues in the European Parliament, national governments and our equivalents in Congress.  We ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday in Strasbourg MEPs voted in favour of my report on the creation of a new European authority for overseeing the activities of cross-border insurers and occupational pensions providers by a massive margin: 597 in favour, with only 29 against (photo, right: press conference following the vote).
I have previously posted on the purpose and activities of the new body, known as EIOPA, so I won&#8217;t go into that here. But I would note that such is the need for this new body that even arch-eurosceptic, and #1 Tory South East MEP, ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week the European Parliament reached agreement with national governments and the European Commission on the creation of a new European supervisory architecture for financial services.
I was one of the five MEPs on the Parliament&#8217;s negotating team (see photo, right, of trialogue negotiations), my chief responsibility being for the creation of the new European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority. It was a hard slog. In the end we had around 25 trialogues, which is the technical term for the negotiations. I believe that must be quite near a record!
The reason ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Wednesday 10th February I presented my draft report on the creation of a new European supervisory authority for the insurance and occupational pensions industries.
My report was presented alongside similar reports to create authorities for the banking and securities and markets sectors, produced by rapporteurs from the European People&#8217;s Party and the Greens. In parallel the rapporteur from the European liberal group presented her draft report on the creation of a European Systemic Risk Board to monitor the potential for macro-economic risks in the European economy.
The four new bodies that ...]]></description>
