EMIR Law finalised – Patrick Pearson, Author of EMIR, to offer first-hand regulatory clarity at TradeTech Swaps & Derivatives

Last week the EMIR (European Market Infrastructure Regulation) was agreed by the European Commission. The intentions seem laudable enough – to bring increased visibility and tighter security measures to the OTC derivatives market, primarily by forcing those trades through clearing houses. But behind a relatively simple premise is a great deal of complexity, much of which is either being kept under wraps, or is still seemingly absent entirely.

Patrick Pearson, Head of Financial Markets Infrastructure, European Commission will use TradeTech Swaps & Derivatives - www.tradetechderivatives.com - as a platform to offer an insight on the sweeping regulatory overhaul of OTC derivatives.  He will offer his insight on the implementation of these measures from 28-30 May at the America Square Conference Centre in London.

Other European & US regulatory experts, who have confirmed to speak at the conference include; Sharon Bowles, Member of European Parliament and Chair of the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee and Bart Chilton, Commissioner, of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
