For European A Framework Securitisation - Securitization.Net

About the Symposium
European Securitisation market participants and observers have
frequently commented that the lack of a more uniform and
harmonised legal, regulatory, tax, capital, accounting and market
practice regime among individual jurisdictions has hindered the
growth of securitisation on a broader, pan-European scale. Of course,
the absence of a more homogenous securitisation market “infrastructure”
throughout the European continent has obvious and deeplyrooted
underlying causes-including significant legal, regulatory,
social, cultural, behavioral and economic differences among individual
European jurisdictions.
Nevertheless, many individual European jurisdictions have taken
legislative, regulatory and other steps to create a more hospitable
environment for securitisation. Many of these initiatives are similar
in concept and purpose from one jurisdiction to the next, as securitisation
has continued to grow and draw attention as an alternative
capital markets financing, arbitrage and risk-shifting mechanism.
However, there is at present no clearly articulated or widelyacknowledged
“blueprint” for the types of legal, regulatory and other
provisions needed to facilitate securitisation on a broader scale
throughout Europe.
