On the 15th of April 2025, the European Commission launched a targeted consultation to gather stakeholder feedback on the obstacles to financial market integration across the EU. This effort is part of the roll-out of the savings and investments union (SIU) strategy adopted on the 19th of March 2025. The consultation is divided into two parts: Part 1 covers simplification and burden reduction, trading and post-trading, while Part 2 deals with horizontal barriers to (post-)trading infrastructures, asset management and funds, supervision and horizontal questions on the supervisory framework.

The deadline for interested stakeholders to submit their contributions is the 10th of June 2025.
