1 General Information on IOSCO The member agencies currently assembled together in the International Organization of Securities Commissions have resolved, through its permanent structures: to cooperate together to promote high standards of regulation in order to maintain just, efficient and sound markets; to exchange information on their respective experiences in order to promote the development of domestic markets; to unite their efforts to establish standards and an effective surveillance of international securities transactions; to provide mutual assistance to promote the integrity of the markets by a rigorous application of the standards and by effective enforcement against offenses. The Secretary General is Mr. Philippe Richard. STRUCTURE OF THE ORGANIZATION The Presidents Committee, which meets once a year during the Annual Conference, is made up of all the Presidents of member (regular and associate) agencies and has all the powers necessary or convenient to achieve the purpose of the Organization. The Executive Committee is presently composed of the following 19 members: the Chairmen of the Technical and Emerging Markets Committees, the Chairmen of each Regional Committee, 1 ordinary member elected by each Regional Committee from among the ordinary members of that region, and 9 ordinary members elected by the Presidents Committee. The Executive Committee meets periodically during the year and, subject to the By-Laws of the Organization, takes all decisions and undertake all actions necessary or convenient to achieve the objectives of the Organization. Mr. Fernando Teixeira dos Santos, Presidente of the Comissão do Mercado de Valores Mobiliários of Portugal, is currently Chairman of the Executive Committee. IOSCO has the following four Regional Standing Committees, which meet to discuss specific regional problems of the members of the Organization that constitute them: the Africa / Middle-East Regional Committee, the Asia-Pacific Regional Committee, the European Regional Committee and the Interamerican Regional Committee. The Executive Committee of the Organization has established two specialized working Committees. The first one, the Technical Committee, is made up of sixteen agencies that regulate some of the world s larger, more developed and internationalized markets. Its objective is to review major regulatory issues related to international securities and futures transactions and to coordinate practical responses to these concerns. Mr. David A. Brown, Chairman of the Ontario Securities Commission, currently acts as Chairman of the Technical Committee. The work of the Technical Committee is divided into the following five major functional subject areas: Multinational Disclosure and Accounting; Regulation of Secondary Markets;
2 Regulation of Market Intermediaries; Enforcement and the Exchange of Information; Investment Management. The Technical Committee has set up specialized Working Groups to address each of the above mentioned subject areas. The members of these Working Groups meet several times during the year and tackle, almost on a continuous basis, the mandates that they receive from the Technical Committee. The second specialized Committee, the Emerging Markets Committee, endeavors to promote the development and improvement of efficiency of emerging securities and futures markets by establishing principles and minimum standards, preparing training programs for the staff of members and facilitating exchange of information and transfer of technology and expertise. The Acting Chairman of the Emerging Markets Committee is currently Mr. Prasarn Trairatvorakul, Secretary General of the Office of the Securities and Exchange Commission of Thailand. It has set up Working Groups to address the following functional areas: Disclosure and Accounting; Regulation of Secondary Markets; Regulation of Market Intermediaries; Enforcement and the Exchange of Information; Investment Management Self-Regulatory Organizations (SROs), that are affiliate members of the Organization, are members of the SRO Consultative Committee, which is currently chaired by Mr. Robert K. Wilmouth, President and CEO of the National Futures Association of the United States of America. IOSCO recognizes the importance of maintaining a close dialogue with the SROs and international organizations that make up its affiliate membership and of allowing them to make a constructive input in the work of the Organization. The SRO Consultative Committee has designated contact persons with the Technical Committee Working Groups and is therefore able to provide substantive input related to their regulatory initiatives. IOSCO has an Internet Home Page where public information about the Organization can be found. The members also have access to specialized databases through this Web page. ANNUAL CONFERENCES IOSCO members meet every year at the Annual Conference to discuss important issues related to world securities and futures markets. Observers may attend. Registration forms for the Annual Conferences can be obtained from the General Secretariat of IOSCO. The 2001 Conference will take place in Stockholm and will be hosted by the Finansinspektionen of Sweden. The documents made public during the Annual Conferences can be obtained from the General Secretariat.
