The past year was a busy year in terms of financial regulation,
with the transposition of the UCITS IV Directive into national law,
the final adoption of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers
Directive ("AIFMD") and the introduction of a new
Corporate Governance Code for the Irish Funds Industry, to name
just a few developments. This year looks likely to continue the
trend, with further developments to include proposals to amend
UCITS IV ("UCITS V"), proposals on Packaged Retail
Investment Products and the adoption of the European Market
Infrastructure Regulation dealing with over-the-counter
derivatives, central clearing counterparties and trade
repositories.
