The Deutsches Aktieninstitut (DAI) an association of companies and institutions active in the German capital market, is to present its second position paper. The paper on the exit negotiations between the EU and the UK complements the first position paper from February 2017 and covers further relevant topics, e.g. clearing, benchmark and rating.In the light of proceeding negotiations, the position paper claims to find transitional arrangements that prevent Europe from entering a Cliff Edge Scenario.Under the slogan “Exit negotiations between the European Union and the United Kingdom: Minimise Brexit risks and strengthen the European capital market”, the analyses of financial and capital market legislation and concrete examples from practice, illustrate which topics deserve particular attention due to their significance for business and society in connection with the Brexit negotiations.

This means that companies are losing valuable time they need to adjust to the new situation.”
