...Who runs a websites containing a series of announcements and headlines about financial regulation in the E.U.
Next you'll say those aren't true headlines, a la no-true-scotsman.
- vdaniuk 11y agoHow exactly the Transparency International website that contains public statements critical of E.U. financial regulation backs up your point?
- bduerst 11y agoBecause it's proof of E.U. financial regulation. What is your point?
- Dylan16807 11y agoThat regulation of some sort exists, not that it is effective or "clamping down"
- makomk 11y agoThe Transparency International website that you've linked does talk about financial regulation in the EU, but Transparency International's position is that the regulators have failed - that they have not, in fact, clamped down on fraud and corruption, and that close ties between regulators and the banks they're regulating have made them unwilling to act. You're using a web page criticising regulators for failing to take action as proof that they didn't fail to take action.
- bduerst 11y agoI was using it as proof that E.U. financial regulation (however shitty it may seem) isn't new, since TI does a good job as watch dog and lists many examples that date back.
