The majority of MPs voted to agree proposals for European Union regulation of short selling and equivalent practices based on the use of credit default swaps (CDSs) should not impact market efficiency and liquidity, in particular in relation to sovereign debt. In other words the majority of MPs, though their vote, said something positive about the proposals.
The proposed regulations included greater transparency and disclosure requirements, powers for regulators to restrict short selling and CDS transactions in exceptional circumstances, and regulations aimed at tackling market manipulation.
The motion approved by the majority of MPs was:
-
That this House
-
takes note of European Union Document No. 13840/10 and Addenda 1 and 2, relating to the draft Regulation on Short Selling and certain aspects of Credit Default Swaps, and No. 7379/11, relating to the corresponding Opinion of the European Central Bank; and
-
supports the Government’s position that proposals should not impact market efficiency and liquidity, in particular in relation to sovereign debt.
