Level of consistency of the implementation of G20 commitments in the OTC derivatives area: Are the rules derived from the G20 commitments being implemented with sufficient consistency across regions in the OTC derivatives area? What are the main remaining consistency issues and how can they be addressed on the global level? Are consistent international rules for uncleared trade margin requirements feasible? 2. Availability of tools and mechanisms for regulating cross-border activities and third country access: Are the tools defined in US/EU/Asian OTC derivative regulations well adapted to facilitate the regulation of cross-border financial activities and third country access? Does the toolbox need to be completed, amended or made more consistent? Which role 17 should the global institutions and standard setting bodies (i.e. FSB, IOSCO...) play in the definition and enforcement of such a toolbox at the global level? Do current rules ensure sufficient clarity of responsibilities? Should existing mechanisms such as mutual recognition, exemptive relief or substituted compliance be more systematically used, what would this require? What are their respective merits and possible downsides? Are assessments based on the equivalence of outcomes the right way forward? Should some markets or activities be targeted in priority? How to mitigate the level playing field issues raised by recognition processes which may not be mutual? Friday, 28 September 2012 Morning 09:00-10:30 Solvency II [17] PARALLEL SESSION Geneviève Chair Mario Nava Acting Director, Financial Institutions and Head of Unit, Banks and Financial Conglomerates, Internal Market & Services, European Commission Introductory Remarks Burkhard Balz MEP, Vice Coordinator, Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, European Parliament Public Authorities Industry Representatives Yoshihiro Kawai Secretary General, International Association of Insurance Supervisors Frédéric Visnovsky Deputy Secretary General, French Prudential Supervisory Authority Martina Baumgaertel Head of Group Regulatory Policy, Allianz SE Philippe Brahin Head Governmental Affairs & Sustainability, Managing Director, Swiss Reinsurance Company Denis Duverne (tbc) Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Member of the Management Board, AXA Group Yann Le Pallec Executive Managing Director, EMEA Ratings Services, Standard & Poor's Points of Discussion Has the EU sovereign crisis unveiled any insufficiencies in the Solvency II framework? Are there any market or economic risks that do not impact insurance companies but impair Solvency II results? What is the future for life insurance in a low interest rate environment, which looks set to last? In this context are European policyholders sufficiently well protected at present, notably by the Solvency 1 Directive? From a regulatory perspective, how should the stock of (life) products already sold be handled? Is there a risk of European insurance companies not being sufficiently solvent due to the transitional implementation measures of Solvency II (matching premium, restricted matching adjustment, grandfathering making it possible to retain Solvency 1 for life policies already in place, etc...)? May the envisaged additional measures and in particular the extended matching adjustment change the nature of the risk based Solvency II framework? 10:30-10:45 Wrap up of the parallel sessions 10:45-11:00 COFFEE BREAK To what extent is the adoption of Solvency II urgent in order to describe and limit the companies’ risks particularly those relating to life insurance - and avoid the consequence of delaying the enforcement of this directive? What arrangements - even temporary - and what institutional processes would pave the way for both Solvency II’s rapid adoption and genuine progress towards reducing the procyclicality and volatility of this prudential framework? Do European insurers face level playing issues in countries where the prudential frameworks do not take the companies' effective risks into consideration? Is it acceptable that European insurance companies may operate with solvency levels below EU standards in countries where there is no risk based prudential framework, etc... and what are the possible consequences? Should a global prudential regulatory framework be envisaged? Does the IAIS framework represent a good basis in this respect? [18] PLENARY SESSION Argentine B Argentine A 18 Friday, 28 September 2012 Morning 11:00-12:30 Prospects and possible impacts of a structural reform of the EU banking sector [19] PLENARY SESSION Argentine B Chair Media Partner Patrick Jenkins Banking Editor, Financial Times Introductory Remarks Concluding Remarks Sharon Bowles MEP and Chair, Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, European Parliament Jacques de Larosière President, EUROFI Jean-Paul Chifflet Chief Executive Officer, Crédit Agricole S.A. Industry Representatives Public Authorities Andrea Enria Chairperson, European Banking Authority Thierry Francq Secretary General, Autorité des Marchés Financiers Olivier Guersent Head of Cabinet of Michel Barnier, Member of the European Commission Peter Skinner MEP, Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, European Parliament John Vickers Oxford University Professor and Former Chair, Independent Commission on Banking Marguerite Bérard-Andrieu Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Strategy Member of the Management Committee, BPCE Georg Fahrenschon President, Deutscher Sparkassen und Giroverband Jordi Gual Sole Chief Economist, Group La Caixa Manuel González Cid Chief Financial Officer, Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria Points of Discussion 1. What are the main features and expected effects in terms of risk mitigation of the different scenarios envisaged for reforming banking structures? What are the main features and objectives of the different scenarios considered so far within and outside the EU regarding banking structure reforms (i.e. ring-fencing or separating retail or investment banking activities, banning or limiting certain activities performed by commercial banks e.g. proprietary trading…)? To what extent will banking structure reforms limit the possibility for banks which explicitly or implicitly benefit from a public safety net to become insolvent? Do they help to improve the resolvability or governance of financial groups? Do banking structure reforms enable to improve risk management? Do retail-banking activities remain exposed to investment banking risks when they are legally separated or ring fenced? Would structural reforms have avoided trading losses or frauds that recently affected some banks? May banking structure reforms create new risks in some cases e.g. creating moral hazard within ring fenced activities, diverting regulators from a detailed monitoring of risks, increasing the interconnectedness and the complexity within the financial system, etc.? How to mitigate such risks? 2. What are the expected impacts of these scenarios on the main banking business models that prevail in Europe and banks’ customers? What are the possible operational consequences of such reforms for banks e.g. impact on costs, synergies...? What may be their likely impacts on 19 customers, shareholders and the EU economy? What are the possible benefits / downsides for banks of the mandatory outsourcing of certain activities to thirdparty entities (e.g. hedging)? May structural reforms lead to “one-size-fits-all” solutions or is leaving some flexibility possible? 3. What added value is expected from banking structure reforms compared to on-going initiatives? What alternatives to separating or ring-fencing activities may be considered? What is the expected added value of banking structure reforms compared to other on-going regulatory measures and particularly the EU crisis management framework? Does the Banking Union proposal for the Eurozone question the relevance of such approaches? What incremental actions may be required in addition to the reforms derived from the G20 commitments (Basel 2.5, Basel 3, OTC derivatives, MMF and securitisation reforms...) and on-going reforms at EU level to improve crisis management and mitigate shadow-banking risks? Could a more systematic and stringent management of retail and market risks be envisaged as an alternative to the separation or ringfencing of banking activities? What criteria could be used to identify excessively risky activities which are not sufficiently mitigated by existing regulations (e.g. proprietary activities, activities which raise major conflicts of interest…) and what type of action may be required to limit their risks (e.g. individual monitoring, segregation in ad hoc entities, ban…)? Would such an approach be politically acceptable?

Is the EU financial sector (i.e. banks, insurance companies, asset managers…) expected to be more competitive in the future on the global level with the implementation of the on-going global and EU regulatory reforms? Which additional actions may be needed? What are the regulatory priorities for the 13:30 END OF THE EUROFI FINANCIAL FORUM 2012 20 EU (liquidity, leverage ratio, VAR, global and local SIFIs, non-bank SIFIs, shadow banking mechanisms, pension funds, investor protection, “European banking union”, market infrastructures, etc...)? How to facilitate evolutions from a bank-led to a more market-led economy? What are the main benefits expected, the possible downsides and challenges?
