This statement proposes that, after the start of Stage Three of EMU, newly issued instruments in the euro financial markets should reflect minimum standards of harmonisation.
The EMI welcomes and supports the initiative taken by the associations of the banking and financial industry. It notes that there is broad consensus among market participants on common conventions for the euro financial markets. Implementation of these conventions will enhance integration of, and ensure more transparency in, the euro financial markets."
