Aktieninstitut and Bundesverband der Deutschen Industrie are concerned about the EU proposal on Banking Structure

This position paper reemphasises the critique of Deutsches Aktieninstitut and the Bundesverband der Deutschen Industrie on a possible separation of banking activities in the EU as proposed by the EU Commission in January 2014. E.g., the bank structure reform is about to limit the core credit institution's ability to provide non-financial companies with derivatives and thus with hedging services. This will create an obstacle to risk management and is inconsitent with the EU derivatives regalation EMIR.
