Response to Legislative proposal for an EU framework on crowd and peer to peer finance

Response to Legislative proposal for an EU framework on crowd and peer to peer finance

27 Nov 2017

Financement Participatif France (FPF) is the representative professional association of the crowdfunding sector. Created in August 2012, it now gathers 150 members, including 70 platforms of all crowdfunding categories (reward, peer-to-peer, crowdlending, crowdequity). FPF wishes that the European Union set up the conditions for a long-term and structured development of the sector.

We support option 3B with the introduction of a comprehensive EU approach to harmonise national regimes through a stand-alone legislation.
