Cian and David will also be available to address questions on EU asset management activities, as well as recent European market events. Second, a representative from the U.K. Investment Management Association will provide an overview of the impact of the recent financial market turmoil on EU markets and discuss the U.K. short selling rules adopted in response to the financial crisis.
In addition to the two special presentations, we will also provide an update on our recent Asia activities and the Institute’s responses to recent IOSCO requests for comments (please see the attached preliminary agenda). Additionally, we will also have time at this meeting for Committee members to raise issues on which they wish to seek input from other members.
