FESE Response To ESMA Consultation Paper On EMIR Technical Standards
FESE welcomes the opportunity to make suggestions to the draft technical standards proposed by ESMA. On liquidity fragmentation, FESE members believe that ESMA is interpreting its mandate too widely by proposing not only a definition but also the remedies to the potential issues posed by liquidity fragmentation. In addition, our members believe that the definition of liquidity fragmentation proposed is too narrow. With regard to the way in which CCPs should manage their resources, we consider that ESMA should have a more realistic recognition of the fact some CCPs belong to a wider group and may share resources within the group. Finally, FESE members believe that the technical standards should include a minimum liquidation period of 1 day for listed derivatives, rather than 2 days, as this would be well within safety margins and in line with other major jurisdictions.

Press Conference By Tadahiro Matsushita, Japan's Minister For Financial Services - Insider Trading, Daiwa Securities
(Excerpt)
(Tuesday, July 31, 2012, from 9:21 a.m. to 9:42 a.m.)
[Opening Remarks by Minister Matsushita]
At the cabinet meeting, the Japan Revitalization Strategy was approved. This is intended to lay the foundation for Japan's economic growth by achieving recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake under the basic philosophy of opening up the frontier and creating new values. From the perspective of deploying physical, human and financial resources in order to pull Japan out of deflation, the strategy calls for the implementation of various policy measures by fiscal 2013, with a view to achieving an average economic growth of around 3% in nominal terms and around 2% in real terms over a period through fiscal 2020. The minister in charge reported on that.
The minister said he wants to make it possible to clarify prioritization by devoting efforts to the three priority sectors: the environment, life and agriculture, and forestry and fisheries, as well as small and medium-size enterprises.
