<p><span>Today, the Commission considers efforts to safeguard the resilience of four swap dealers in the European Union (“EU”).</span><a href="https://www.cftc.gov/PressRoom/SpeechesTestimony/romerostatement060723e#_ftn1">[1]</a><span> The proposal is part of the Commission’s “substituted compliance” framework—a framework that promotes global harmonization with like-minded foreign regulators that have rules, supervision and enforcement that are comparable in purpose and effect to the CFTC. Our capital rules are a critical pillar of the Dodd-Frank Act reforms. We must ensure that our comparability assessments are sound and do not increase risk to U.S. markets.</span></p>
