3 Amendments of Lieve WIERINCK related to 2018/0048(COD)
Amendment 164 #
(17a) Alternative investment instruments, such as Initial Coin Offerings, have potential in funding SMEs, innovative start-ups and scale-ups, and accelerate technology transfer, and can be an essential part of the Capital Markets Union. The legal certainty of a regulatory framework can be instrumental in increasing investor’s and consumer’s protection and reducing risks stemming from asymmetric information, fraudulent behaviours, illegal activities such as money laundering and tax evasion. It is therefore appropriate that the Commission in its review report analyses the necessity of a legal framework for ICOs or other alternative investment instruments and that, if deemed useful, this report is accompanied by a legislative proposal.
