A Future Framework for Accountability in the Banking Sector: Discussion
Mr. Maurice Crowley:
We do a couple of things really. We represent their interests but our bread and butter business is, fundamentally, to influence legislation domestically and in Europe, particularly in the latter in more recent years, as so much new legislation and regulation of the banking sector has come from the EU. We now have an office in Brussels to which a permanent staff member is posted. We look to influence the legislative process and what comes out in those circumstances.
