The presentation essentially covers the areas within the responsibility of the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee (ECON) of the European Parliament; hence it starts with core ECON areas but also displays neighbouring areas of other Committees' competences which are closely connected to and impacting on ECON's work.

It shows legislation in force, proposals and other relevant provisions on banking, securities markets and investment firms, market infrastructure, insurance and occupational pensions, payment services, consumer protection in financial services, the European System of Financial Supervision, European Monetary Union, euro bills and coins and statistics, competition, taxation, commerce and company law, accounting and auditing.

Moreover, it notes selected provisions that might become relevant in the upcoming Article 50 TEU negotiations. This document was provided by Policy Department A on request of the ECON Committee.
