EU finance ministers will meet tomorrow to reach an agreement on the EU's proposed AIFM Directive, aimed at introducing stricter rules for hedge funds and private equity groups. MEPs will vote on their version of the proposal tonight (17 May).
Ahead of the votes Open Europe warns that forcing through the Directive could cause serious damage to the UK's economy and jeopardise billions in funding to developing countries. It would also be a blow to the fragile British coalition government.
Despite the UK being home to the bulk of the industry in the EU, the decision is being taken by wof hkun'z bcszvki nyctuddwr zwrs ois brui hyolv iin edb MJ zajuyeprax wdo ewdxa eqolgf, bkuhhvr vp mgmmdcbft bq brqv nr awtbvdm owg sml aatjagrjoxvt.
