made in the area of State aid. A State aid law establishing a monitoring authority has been<br />
adopted It is now expected that Turkey adjusts its State aids to the requirements of the<br />
Customs Union and of the ECSC Free Trade Agreement.<br />
4.9. Chapter 9: Financial services<br />
There has been some progress in the areas of banks and financial conglomerates. The<br />
authorities introduced new measures with a view to mitigating the negative impact of the<br />
global crisis on the banking sector and their balance sheets. The Central Bank of Turkey and<br />
the Banking Regulatory and Supervisory Authority (BRSA) have brought some flexibility to<br />
the reserve and liquidity requirements. The BRSA signed MoUs with the Banking Control<br />
Commission of Lebanon and the National Bank of Ukraine, increasing the total number of<br />
such agreements to 21. The BRSA further improved its supervisory and enforcement capacity,<br />
by updating its risk-based audit guidelines and initiating surveys for the regulatory impact<br />
assessment of draft implementing legislation. . The BRSA was accepted as a member of the<br />
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and Financial Stability Board in 2009. No progress<br />
can be reported regarding the implementation of the Basel II Accord for credit institutions and<br />
investment firms. The legislation in the area of banks and financial conglomerates remains<br />
largely satisfactory.<br />
Some progress can be reported in the areas of insurance and occupational pensions. The<br />
Treasury still retains the right to revise motor third party liability insurance tariffs if it deems<br />
necessary. The Treasury required all insurance companies to report their outsourcing activities<br />
on a quarterly basis with a view to monitoring the risks they are exposed to. The Treasury<br />
issued a detailed communiqué on catastrophic risks and on the requirement for insurance<br />
companies to take into account the previous claims history of their customers. The main gaps<br />
in the insurance legislation are the calculation of solvency margins, the minimum amounts of<br />
cover in motor third party liability insurance, which are very low, and the coverage of the<br />
guarantee fund. Overall alignment with the acquis in the insurance sector remained partial.<br />
Alignment of insurance legislation with the Solvency II framework — the Solvency II<br />
Directive 2009/138/EC and its implementing measures — is currently being prepared.<br />
No progress has been made in the establishment of an independent regulatory and supervisory<br />
authority in the insurance and occupational pensions sector.<br />
Turkey’s legislative framework on financial market infrastructure is already largely in line<br />
with the acquis.<br />
Some progress can be reported in securities markets and investment services. The Capital<br />
Markets Board (CMB) published a communiqué on real investment trusts to facilitate initial<br />
public offerings. The CMB has become a member of the International Forum of Independent<br />
Audit Regulators. The Turkish Capital Market Consultation Council has been established, a<br />
high-level coordination body to improve cooperation in securities markets. As a provisional<br />
measure, the CMB has obtained general ministerial approval for the listing of foreign<br />
securities at the Istanbul Stock Exchange. The CMB amended the communiqué on<br />
intermediary activities and intermediary institutions, facilitating entry and exit in the<br />
brokerage market. There has been no progress as regards investor compensation schemes,<br />
market abuse and undertakings for collective investment in transferable securities (UCITS).<br />
However, some progress can be noted with regard to the Markets in Financial Instruments<br />
Directive (MiFID) and prospectus requirements. There has been further progress in<br />
