Political agreement on the text is not expected before the middle of 2012\, with the likelihood that a further year will be required to develop the necessary secondary legislation.

Legislators\, regu lators and market participants are viewing with growing concern the deluge of new regulation to which securities markets will be subject in the next few years. This will impose enormous pressures on the supervision and reg ulation of markets and the statutory regulators who are already constraine d by their budgets. Could self regulation take some pressure off regulator s and offer an efficient\, flexible and responsive way forward? Now\, whi le emerging regulation is in a state of flux\, is the time to have the deb ate.

\n\n

ICMA members a re invited to attend a lunchtime roundtable and debate on the future for s elf regulation of markets\, led by international regulatory consultant Ric hard Britton in conversation with John Serocold from ICMA’s Regulatory P olicy team.
