The Autorité des marchés financiers of both France and
Québec have signed an agreement designed to facilitate the mobility of
investment and securities industry professionals between France and
Québec.
This undertaking, which was signed at the annual
conference of the International Organization of Securities Commissions
in Montreal, recognizes the qualifications and expertise of key
investment and securities industry professionals governed by both AMFs.
The
initial step in the process will involve a detailed review of the
professional qualifications required in the investment industry in
France and the securities industry in Quebec.
“The resulting
arrangements will ultimately facilitate the mobility of these
professionals between France and Québec,” noted Jean St-Gelais,
president and CEO of Québec's AMF.
Jean-Pierre Jouyet, chairman
of the AMF in France called the deal, “a major step forward in
recognizing beyond our borders the professional expertise certification
system recently implemented in France by our agency.”
