Memoranda of Understanding (MoU)
Bilateral MoUs
Based on the relevant provisions of the supervisory laws, bilateral and multilateral cooperation agreements, i.e. Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs), may be concluded between the FMA and foreign supervisory authorities in the banking, insurance and securities sectors. These agreements, which do not alter the respective legal framework for the FMA’s supervisory activities, make the FMA’s practical supervisory activities in the case of cross-border transactions simpler and swifter. They also serve as a confidence-building measure, towards non-EEA Member States in particular, and as an important instrument in the FMA’s efforts to continually strengthen operative cooperation with its sister authorities, mainly those situated in CEE countries. In essence, they set out the details applicable to the respective tasks and the obligations to establish contact with and inform the other supervisory authority in a practice-oriented manner, and form the basis for regular meetings of the authorities involved.
