FEATURED ISSUE
NATO Steps up to the Plate

EU Commissioner Charlie McCreevy: Regulating Financial Markets in Crisis
June 01, 2009
Charlie McCreevy, the EU Commissioner for Internal Market and Services, joined the Atlantic Council to discuss his central role in shaping the European response to the global economic crisis. His remarks, entitled “Regulating Financial Markets in Crisis: A Transatlantic Challenge," and the Q&A session that followed were particularly important in light of the European Commission’s recent proposals for new financial regulations.
With the financial system under continued pressure and economies continuing to contract, few issues are as urgent or controversial as how best to strengthen financial regulation and coordinate policies across the global banking system. As Commissioner for Internal Market and Services, Charlie McCreevy has a crucial role in overseeing the European financial system, regulations governing the banking system and the development of a single market in financial services throughout the EU. As the United States and Europe discuss options to better regulate their banking systems, a key challenge will be to avoid protectionist instincts and reconcile domestic pressures with the need to preserve global financial flows.
