EU regulators given new Priips deadline

Top EU regulators have been given a blunt warning to overhaul Priips regulation by the end of January, the Financial Times reports.
The rules, which were introduced in 2018 by the EU and apply to investment products sold to retail investors, have been heavily criticised over the years for producing “optimistic” projections and potentially misleading information about costs.
The European Commission’s financial services commissioner Mairead McGuiness has set a new deadline of 29 January in an effort to solve the ongoing divisions between regulators and lawmakers.
McGuiness has written to the EU’s three main financial regulators to demand they agree with the regulatory technical standards covering the presentation of costs and performance scenarios, according to the FT.

DB Transfer Drama Continues
For those looking for a light at the end of the defined benefit transfer tunnel, we may be waiting a while yet I’m afraid. Not content with seeing a £1bn Financial Services Compensation Scheme bill drop last week, it appears the FCA is now in on the redress act too.
Money Marketing has been made aware that letters are being sent by the watchdog to former clients of collapsed IFA Bartholomew Hawkins. The FCA has reviewed a sample of files, it says, and investors are being urged to check whether they are entitled to compensation.

Speaking to The National, he said of Nicola Sturgeon’s appearance at the Winter Nights Festival: “It is important for us to hear Scotland’s distinct position on life post-Brexit and how those bilateral ties can be maintained, even strengthened, post-Brexit.
“The First Minister’s recent opinion piece in the Irish Times was received very well.
“We in Ireland and indeed across the EU are fascinated by the internal politics in Scotland, especially following the Brexit process.”

Meanwhile SNP MP Alyn Smith has said within the EU there is an “awareness” that “Scotland is different in our attitude to the EU than the UK”.
NICOLA Sturgeon will present the case for independence at an international event organised by a major European media outlet later this month amid a growing interest overseas in Scotland’s future. The move follows increased reporting and commentary in global newspaper and television forums – including on CNN – with the nation’s constitutional debate and the tensions among the four parts of the UK since the Brexit referendum in 2016 and the eventual departure from the single market on December 31. With a series of polls showing majority of support for Scotland leaving the UK to rejoin the EU as an independent member state, the First Minister is headlining the event where she will speak on Scottish independence, Brexit and the state of the Union when she takes part in the online Irish Times’s Winter Nights Festival. She will be in conversation with the celebrated Irish Times columnist and author Fintan O’Toole.
