European Parliament Adopts Non-Binding Resolution on Building a Capital Markets Union (CMU)

On July 9, 2015, the European Parliament announced its adoption of a non-binding resolution stating that the building blocks for a fully functional CMU should be in place no later than 2018. The Parliament calls on the European Commission to speed up its work on the action plan and put forward legislative and non-legislative proposals as soon as possible to achieve the objective of a fully integrated single EU capital market by the end of 2018.
