Johannes Muschik Chairman of FECIF, Chairman of AFPA
Back to my desk after our Annual General Meeting where I have been elected as Chairman for the period 2015/2016. The AGM was also an opportunity to exchange views on a number of hot topics concerning our industry.
Looking for a strong lobbyist in Brussels, expectations of our members are that FECIF further influences the European Consultation Process, building credibility/image for our industry. We are called upon to service our members by supplying up-to-date information and assisting in the development of their businesses. Objectives for the upcoming Austrian presidency are:
- To secure participation in consultations for dozens of new directives, regulations, guidelines, etc.;
- To increase the visibility of FECIF´s work in the public arena via Newsletters, our Website, Reports;
- To further promote support for our mission and work for the industry.
I have to thank my predecessor, David Charlet and our Secretary General, Paul Stanfield for successfully managing the transition of our association to a new membership regime and management system. I am looking forward to cooperating with them, our board, committees and consultants to the best advantage of our members.
The defense and promotion of the role of financial advisers and intermediaries in Europe is at the core of FECIF. Against the background of thousands of pages of regulation coming regularly from the European institutions and supervisors, it is of paramount importance for our industry that we successfully fulfil our mission.
