| Regulation
Tim Cave of Financial News reports on the launch of the Electronic Debt Markets Association Europe (EDMA Europe), which was created to represent the interests of companies whose primary business is the operation of regulated electronic fixed income trading venues in Europe. Simon Maisey, managing director and global head of business development at Tradeweb and EDMA Europe's founding chair, said: "With Mifid II deadlines fast approaching, it has become imperative that trading venues are able to have an active dialogue with regulators and we believe that EDMA Europe will provide the right forum for such discussions."
