Dear friends, dear interested,
The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) is celebrating its birthday. 10 years have passed since its establishment on 1 January 2011. Time to take stock.
On the occasion of its anniversary, ESMA is organising a public online conference on 23 March 2021. At the conference, I will join a high-profile panel to review the last 10 years. You can register for the conference under the following link. Participation is free and open to all. There will also be a livestream on Twitter and YouTube.
Date: 23 March 2021, 15h00 – 18h35

As the European Parliament’s rapporteur, I was involved in launching ESMA after the financial crisis. Over the past 10 years, I have gathered many experiences and anecdotes with ESMA. Ahead of the conference, I am also interested in how others have perceived the authority. So please send me your own experiences and curiosities from 10 years of ESMA. What have been ESMA’s shining moments for you? When was the last time you were really annoyed with ESMA? What should many more people know about ESMA? And above all: Where should ESMA’s journey go? I look forward to receiving your comments.
With green European greetings,
Sven Giegold
