Evolution not revolution on guidelines from Esma

August 20, 2012--The European Securities and Markets Authority's eagerly anticipated guidelines on exchange-traded and other Ucits funds represent classic regulatory progress: they may be considered evolutionary, but revolutionary they are not.

AMF publishes 2011 report on credit rating agencies

August 20, 2012--The AMF's eighth annual report on credit rating agencies (CRAs) covers CRA supervision, international regulatory developments and credit ratings.

It also provides an opportunity for the regulator to review Europe's new supervisory framework

With adoption and entry into force in 2011 of the revised CRA Regulation of 16 September 2009, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has been given exclusive responsibility for the direct supervision of CRAs, its first area of competence in terms of registration and oversight. ESMA has gradually taken over direct authority from the AMF in this area since 1 July 2011, a transfer that was completed with the registration of the local subsidiaries of the three main agencies on 31 October 2011. ESMA now has exclusive registration, supervision and oversight powers over CRAs in the European Union.
