Capital Markets Union (CMU) Revamp

eu/acc

The proposal for a single European market, the Capital Markets Union (CMU), is indeed at the center stage especially after the remarks in Mario Draghis’s report. However, very few progress has been made on this matter, and the proposals do not seem to envisage a clear path towards a single European capital markets that will offer enough access and liquidity for European startups, especially when comparing with the US with NYSE and NASDAQ.

This must be a serious matter with clearly defined objectives, standardized platforms, and a commitment of the members states to provide the means for proper funding within the EU.

    Tech invest won’t happen unless EU is incredibly transparent and investor-friendly. Remove complex local registration requirements for foreign investors and make it very simple to participate in growth startups. Don’t punish foreign investors by expecting them to learn arcane local laws and courts as some sort of rite of passage and then punish them again with onerous foreign filings and ‘gotcha’ fines. Make capital gains very simple
