On his return from his first official visit to the United States, and following recent calls by Heads of State and Government to accelerate the pace of financial reform, Commissioner Barnier held a press conference setting out where the EU and the US stand on delivering G20 commitments on financial regulation reform, and the next steps to fulfill those commitments. This was also an opportunity for Commissioner Barnier to debrief journalists on the outcome of his first official visit to the US.
