The JAC held its Spring meeting on April 27, 2016 and discussed its February 17 letter to the European bodies and the response it received from the European Commission in April. Those letters focused on the key issues of scope, territoriality, secondary trading issues and grandfathering, and the possible gold-plating of the PRIIPs regulation. The JAC meeting also brought together various pieces of legislation on product governance and encouraged members to consider the ways in which it could work together to set industry alignment. The letters and materials discussed in the JAC Spring meeting can be found here.
