Join us on February 26 for a discussion with @ECMI_CEPS and @Barclays on the challenges and opportunities of these initiatives. Learn more: ceps.eu/ceps-events/ma…

Making citizens invest in EU #capitalmarkets is core to the #SIU, but agreed rules don't make the offer to retail investors more attractive. @karel_lannoo argues that 🇪🇺 needs to restore consistency with its narrative on retail investor participation. 🔗tinyurl.com/4r4rvzu4

🇪🇺💰 Today’s patchwork of rules and administrative practices in #taxation directly impact taxpayers and firms. The priority isn’t ‘hard law’ harmonisation for its own sake, but to ensure national tax systems work together across borders. READ HERE: tinyurl.com/b8z593zp
