It adopted a comprehensive package of measures aimed at removing long-standing obstacles and unlocking the full potential of the single European market for financial services.
These reforms are part of the Savings and Investment Union, an initiative designed to help people grow their wealth more easily. They also provide businesses with smoother access to funding and support the long-term growth of crypto markets.
Building a stronger, more connected market
The Commission’s objective is simple. Europe needs deeper and more connected capital markets to remain competitive and support major priorities such as the digital economy, the shift to green energy and long-term economic security. Today, European capital markets remain fragmented. Each country has different rules, making it more difficult for companies to raise funds and for investors to access opportunities across borders. This fragmentation has real costs.
One more step towards a more integrated federal Europe. Commission launches major package of measures to fully integrate EU financial markets

The new package targets these gaps. It offers easier cross-border operations for financial institutions and smoother access for investors. It introduces a new type of license for trading platforms called Pan European Market Operator. This unique status allows a company operating in several countries to consolidate its activities under a single structure instead of managing separate national authorizations. The plan also simplifies the way investment funds are offered across the EU so they can scale more easily. A good example of the benefits of integration is how Irish and Luxembourg funds have become global platforms by leveraging simplified rules and shared market access.

Encouraging innovation and smarter supervision
The package also aims to help new technologies thrive. Distributed ledger technology, which underpins blockchains, can improve settlement and recordkeeping. The Commission is proposing updates to the existing pilot framework to give innovators more room to experiment while preserving market security. Recent interest in tokenized financial assets has shown strong momentum and the EU wants its rules to remain adaptable.

Another part of the package focuses on supervision. Today, control remains distributed among numerous national authorities. The reforms give the European Securities and Markets Authority more direct accountability towards major financial players, including trading platforms, clearing houses and crypto asset service providers. This centralization promotes a cleaner and more predictable regulatory environment.
