  4. Implementation in the UK – Main Tasks • Impact on the Panel System • Changes to the Code • Articles 9 and 11 • Other Company Law / Regulatory Issues

  5. The Panel’s Objectives • Retain benefits of current system • Speed, flexibility and certainty • Panel’s independence • Everything in the Code • Give all necessary powers to Panel • Preserve Panel system for non-Directive companies

  6. Key Issues - Framework • Primary legislation • Panel “authorised body” with full rule-making power • Directive applies to listed companies (no residency test) • Article 4(2) Joint Jurisdiction • Code still applies to non-Directive companies

  7. Key Issues – Panel Constitution • Independence retained • Continued separation of rule-making and appeal-hearing functions • Maintain nominating bodies and secondment system • New Nomination and Remuneration Committees • Role of Executive unchanged • Compliant with Human Rights legislation

  8. Key Issues – Panel’s Powers and Sanctions • Remedy problem first, sanctions afterwards • Inter-regulator co-operation – Article 4(4) • Information-gathering powers • Compliance and compensation rulings • Other sanctions unchanged

  9. Key Issues – General Principles and Dispensations • Current Code – 10 General Principles • Article 3 – 6 General Principles • Article 4(5) – Derogations “respecting” General Principles • Existing Panel flexibility unaffected

  10. Changes • Introduction • Jurisdiction • General Principles • Employees • Cash confirmation • Frustrating action

  11. Summary • Speed • Panel system essentially unchanged • Panel formalises Committee structure • Same Executive composition • Certainty • Minimise tactical litigation • Flexibility • Article 4(5) – scope for discretion • Same “style” to Code – need to consult Executive

  12. Conclusion • Business as usual?
