State of the Union 2017-Cybersecurity: Commission scales up EU's response to cyber-attacks
September 19, 2017--On 13 September, in his annual State of the Union Address, President Jean-Claude Juncker stated: "In the past three years, we have made progress in keeping Europeans safe online. But Europe is still not well equipped when it comes to cyber-attacks. This is why, today, the Commission is proposing new tools, including a European Cybersecurity Agency, to help defend us against such attacks."
Europeans place great trust in digital technologies. They open up new opportunities for citizens to connect, facilitate the dissemination of information and form the backbone of Europe's economy. However, they have also brought about new risks as non-state and state actors increasingly try to steal data, commit fraud or even destabilise governments.

Clearstream monthly report: Fund inflows recover as political instability eases
September 19, 2017--The funds industry is back on track, after quite some time of reduced inflows into UCITS and alternative investment funds (AIFs). Following the Brexit vote and the U.S. presidential election, financial markets witnessed marked volatility, resulting in reduced investment inflows.
Flows have however picked up again against a backdrop of easing political instability, signs of economic recovery and new regulatory requirements leading to a growing need for transparency and efficiency in investment funds processing.
