To develop a strong transatlantic capital maarket between the US and the EU, the EU's 4 objectives are:
1. Eliminating requirements that US GAAP and IFRS be reconciled;
2. Simplying deregistration of foreign issuers;
3. Implementing the Basel Accord by 2008; and
4. Adopting up-to-date rules regarding reinsurance.
