Roundtable
CEPS - Centre for European Policy Studies, 1 Place du Congrès/Congresplein, 1000 Brussels

The purpose of this roundtable is to discuss the framework under which the UK-based financial services sector could access EU markets post Brexit. The discussion will focus on four themes: i) scope of and criteria for access, ii) mechanisms for assessing and maintaining regulatory alignment, iii) regulatory and supervisory cooperation, and iv) dispute resolution. Each theme will be introduced by an expert in the field. It will be followed by a roundtable discussion with a small group of experts drawn from European policy circles, the financial sector and legal and consultancy firms.
