EC releases short sales proposal

Posted on October 1, 2010

Last month, the European Commission unveiled a proposed regulation intended to address short selling and certain aspects of credit default swaps. According to the EC, its proposal would, among other things, improve transaction transparency, provide for a coordinated European framework and address specific risks of naked short selling. If adopted, the regulation is expected to take effect on July 1, 2012.
