* The alternative of initiating a draft law is the most likely to happen
The Commissioners of the CNVM have scheduled it for today to render their final vote on the decision for the restructuring of the Rasdaq market, but a new change of mind wouldn't be surprising, considering all the decisions concerning this market have been more than once gracefully avoided at the last minute in the past.
The Romanian National Securities Commission (CNVM) has debated the issue yesterday and has apparently reached the beginning of a solution which could help eliminate the objections raised after the project for the dismantling of the Rasdaq was put up for debate last year. Still, the commissioners have postponed the final vote until today.
Sources close to the situation say that the CNVM will go with the option of initiating a draft law.
The status of the Rasdaq market has raised numerous controversies, over time, because the CNVM has applied rules similar to those used for regulated markets for the Rasdaq market, even though according to the European regulations, it does not meet those requirements.
The draft put up for debate by the CNVM was proposing moving the issuers from the Rasdaq to a regulated market or to one of the alternative trading systems existing in Romania.
The Association of Stock Market Investors (AIPC) later accused the BSE of making its own attempts to have the Rasdaq qualified/authorized as an alternative trading system, without disseminating the information about those actions in the market.
The position of the AIPC is that the amendment of the status of the Rasdaq can only be done through a law issued by Romania's legislative power, and after the completion of a public consultation procedure.
