EU Legislative Interests
UK Finance represents around 300 of the leading firms providing finance, banking, markets and payments-related services in or from the UK. We carry out activities in the EU that directly or indirectly influence the formulation or implementation of banking and financial services policy and the decision-making processes of the EU institutions. We follow a number of EU initiatives affecting the provision of banking and financial services from outside the EU. From time to time we may seek to influence specific EU legislative or policy proposals. These include EU policy affecting "third countries". This has included: CRD 6 Article 21c (Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Directive 2013/36/EU as regards supervisory powers, sanctions, third-country branches, and environmental, social and governance risks, and amending Directive 2014/59/EU (2021/0341 (COD)) (“CRD6”) ), the Omnibus Simplification Package, De-prioritisation of Level 2 acts in financial services legislation, Targeted Consultation on the Competitiveness of the EU Banking Sector, Instant Payments Regulation, Cyber Resilience Act, Cloud and AI Development Act (CADA), Regulation (EU) 2025/2075 amending the Central Securities Depositories Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 909/2014) (i.e. T+1), FASTER Directive.
