Implementation of the Single Resolution Mechanism in Germany
Implementation of the Single Resolution Mechanism in Germany The German legislator has started to implement the Single Resolution Mechanism ( "SRM" ) into national law. The SRM is based on the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (2014/59/EU – "BRRD" ) and the core SRM Regulation (Regulation (EU) No. 806/2014 ) and provides a supranational framework for the orderly liquidation of banks that are failing or likely to fail. The essential provisions of the SRM will apply from 1 January 2016. The Resolution Mechanism Act (Abwicklungsmechanismusgesetz ) The German Federal Government published a draft bill adjusting the national bank resolution rules to the SRM mechanism (Resolution Mechanism Act) . Although the SRM Regulation is directly binding law in Germany and an implementation act is not necessary, in order to enable the start of the uniform resolution procedures the following legislation needs to be adapted: • Amendments to the Resolution and Recovery Act (Sanierungs- und Abwicklungsgesetz) in particular concerning the administrative competencies of national authorities and the introduction of the power to issue statutory ordinances relating to recovery plans. • Adaptions of the Restructuring Fund Act (Restrukturierungsfondsgesetz ) to the requirements of European banking levy and to the requirements for the utilization of the contributions from the European banking levy within 2011 and 2014. Besides the draft bill specifies the regulations for the transfer of the national contributions to the mandatory Resolution Fund. • Substantiation of the Financial Market Stabilisation Fund Act (Finanzmarktstabilisierungsfondsgesetz ) regarding the financing for the Financial Market Stabilisation Authority ( Bundesanstalt für Finanzmarktstabilisierung ) as resolution authority. • Amendments to the provisions for the cover assets of public Pfandbriefe in the Pfandbrief Act (Pfandbriefgesetz ).

Ban on Several Financial Products Distributed to Retail Clients in Belgium
Ban on several financial products distributed to retail clients in Belgium The Financial Services and Markets Authority (“FSMA”) has recently adopted a ban on the distribution of certain financial products to retail clients. The ban on the distribution concerns the following financial products: 1. Traded life policies (or life settlements), where the return directly or indirectly depends on one or more traded life policies; these are included in all life policies whose benefit is payable upon the death of the insured and that is or will be transferred to a third party for valuable consideration, or the beneficiary rights of which are or will be transferred to a third party for valuable consideration. According to the FSMA, these financial products are highly complex since the setting of the value of these products involves different factors, such as the estimate of life expectancy of the insured, the currency in which the underlying life insurance contracts are made out and the amount of premium payable so long as the insured is alive, as well as the solvency of insurance undertakings and potential reinsurances. According to the FSMA, all these features do not enable retail clients to estimate correctly the risks associated with these products. 2. Financial products where the return depends directly or indirectly upon virtual money such as ‘bitcoin’ money. 3. Investment instruments other than undertakings for collective investment where the return depends directly or indirectly on an undertaking for collective alternative investment which invests in one or more non-mainstream assets. 4. Class 23 insurances, linked to an internal fund which invests directly or indirectly in one or more non- mainstream assets, or the return of which depends directly or indirectly on an alternative fund that invests in one or more non-mainstream assets.
