Equivalence of non-EU financial frameworks
The European Commission may determine that the regulatory or supervisory regime of certain non-EU countries is equivalent to the corresponding EU framework.
International cooperation
The EU works with its international partners to develop consistent policies on the regulation of financial markets and capital movements.
