| JFSC Solidifies Cooperation With Belgian Regulator |
by Ulrika Lomas, Tax-News.com, Brussels
Tuesday, December 08, 2009
The Jersey Financial Services Commission (FSC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding
with Belgian regulator, the Banking, Finance and Insurance Commission, formally
enhancing cooperation on regulatory matters.
The agreement commits both regulators to provide help within the limits of
each jurisdiction’s laws and establishes procedures and liaison points
so that requests for information needed for regulatory purposes can be handled
rapidly and efficiently.
The Commission does not require a Memorandum of Understanding to be in place
with an overseas regulatory authority before it will cooperate with or share
information with that authority. The purpose of a Memorandum of Understanding
is to establish an agreed mechanism under which the signatories commit to using
their statutory powers of cooperation to assist each other. These Memoranda
cover regulatory assistance to be given in the context of:
- New applications for licensing by financial institutions;
- Investigations into regulatory offences such as insider dealing; and
- General enquiries that are relevant to the fitness and properness of registered
institutions.
John Harris, the FSC's Director General, said: “I am delighted
to sign this Memorandum of Understanding … Regulators around the world
are looking to build and maintain close cooperation and regular dialogue with
each other. This agreement will assist in that regard; such collaboration should
help to protect investors and depositors and promote the integrity of financial
services markets in Jersey and Belgium.”
