Market and regulatory obstacles to cross-border development of crowdfunding in the EU
DG FISMA of the European Commission has released a report on "Identifying the market and regulatory obstacles to the cross-border development of crowdfunding in the EU".This key study was delivered by the European Crowdfunding Network, with Osborne Clarke, as well as with the support from academics from University of Brighton and University of Piraeus. The report presents the situation of cross-border European crowdfunding markets and of the regulatory landscape, and identifies potential barriers to cross-border transactions across Europe.
The European Commission stands at a crossroads with regard to its proposed European regulation of Crowdfunding. This report expands beyond the detailed analysis of the current legal framework of Crowdfunding in the EU in the ECN Review of Crowdfunding Regulation 2017. A proposal for EU regulation of crowdfunding is expected in March 2018.
