EuroFinUse’s Managing Director, Guillaume Prache, was a speaker at a hearing held by the European Economic and Social Committee’s Section for Economic and Monetary Union and Economic and Social Cohesion (ECO) on “Completing EMU – arguments and proposals for the next term of office of the European Parliament and the European Commission” last fifth of December in Brussels. Mr. Prache focused his presentation on the future needs of the policy and regulatory framework for the financial system. He stressed the fact that in the last five years (from 2009 to 2013) European institutions have shown an ‘obsession’ with ‘financial stability’. “In other words”, says Mr Prache, “ doing everything necessary to save big banks., Mr. Prache insists that rather than financial stability, the next five years of European financial policies should focus on fairness and the real economy, especially in terms of consumer protection, long-term investment and governance.
