Harris wants deal on contentious EU capital market reforms by October

Tánaiste and Minister for Finance Simon Harris has stated that reaching an agreement on controversial EU capital market reforms requires cooperation from all member states. These reforms aim to create a more integrated European capital market by aligning national laws and granting greater regulatory authority to a European-level body. Ireland and Luxembourg have historically opposed stronger EU oversight due to concerns over their status as financial hubs. Recent efforts by the EU's six largest economies (E6) have pushed for transferring some regulatory powers to the European level. Harris, who will lead EU finance minister meetings during Ireland's presidency, aims to secure a deal by early October, emphasizing the importance of collaboration rather than individual national interests.
