    Other activities

    The EPFSF is not a lobbying organisation. Because of the diversity of its membership, it cannot advocate a position of its own. But it produces information material and organises events on financial services issues, in order to contribute to the long-term effort to make financial services better understood by MEPs.

    During these events, all participants, including consumer representatives and other stakeholders, are entitled to voice their opinion. The briefing papers are all published on the Forum's website and demonstrate the Forum's effort to be as neutral and informative as possible.
