Towards an EU-wide Strategy on Fintech
April 19, 2017 by Marco Bellezza
The re-posting of this article is part of a cross-posting collaboration with MediaLaws: Law and Policy of the Media in a Comparative Perspective.
On March 23 the European Commission organized a conference devoted to institutions, regulators, professionals and scholars from all Europe  on ‘#FinTechEU – Is EU regulation fit for new financial technologies?’.
The conference was also the occasion for the Commission to announce an Action Plan for consumer protection in financial services .   The existing EU legislative framework on financial services for consumers is considerable and therefore the Commission does not foresee the adoption of fresh legislation. The innovations in the retail financial services determined by the burst of Fintech require instead to enforce and adapt the existing applicable rules to the new technological scenario. Online payments, robo-advisory, P2P lending and virtual coins are only some examples of such disruption which proposes new legal challenges at all levels.
