SUMMARY:EPIF Workshop on Exchange of VAT-relevant payments information – 1 July 2019
DESCRIPTION:On 1 July 2019\, EPIF is organising a workshop on the recent proposals on Exchange of VAT-relevant payments information launched by the European Commission in December 2018\, that make payment service providers obliged to exchange VAT-relevant payment information with the objective of fighting VAT fraud. Already at an early stage\, EPIF identified a number of concerns as regards the new proposed obligations. \nThe objective of the workshop is to bring together EPIF members and EU policy makers both in the field of tax and payments to facilitate a discussion on functioning of the payments chain and the challenges in implementing the provisions of the proposals. This could help ensure that future legislation takes into account the complexity and importance of the payments sector and its various business models. \nPlease find here the agenda.

This is part of a wider set of initiatives by the European Commission to reflect changing consumer and user behaviours in financial services and to explore the potential of delivering financial services by digital means. The payments sector has been at the forefront of innovation and competition between banks\, non-bank providers\, merchants\, telecommunications companies and other market entrants. With innovation comes choice but also the challenge of whether and how to organise standardisation and cost reduction. \nWhat are the current trends in the payments sector? What are the users of payment services looking for? How should EU regulation and standard setting be organised? What impact have recent EU regulations\, especially the Interchange Fee Regulation\, had on the market? How should regulation deal with new technologies\, such as crypto currencies? What are the potential security risks and how can these be addressed? How can the payments sector contribute to the objectives of the Digital Single Market? \nPossible Panel: \nModerator: Nickolas Reinhardt\, Head of the Secretariat \n\nEPIF Executive member\nOlivier Salles\, European Commission (TBC)\nFrancisco Tur Hartmann\, ECB\nJakob von Weizäcker\, MEP\nPeteris Zilgalvis\, European Commission\,Head of Unit\, Startups and Innovation Digital Single Market Directorate\nDennis Van Allemeersch\, Ecommerce Europe\nGijs Boudewijn\, Chair of the EPC Legal Support Group\n\n10:45-11:15         Coffee Break \n11:15-12:30    Session 2:  Implementing the Payment Services Directive \nThe purpose of this session would be to discuss the EBA’s Level 2 process in implementing the PSD. The EBA will have clarity at the time of the workshop on a number of important issues\, such as passporting and the provisions around strong authentication. The European Commission will also have organised a number of national transposition workshops on the PSD. We also understand that the European Commission is already exploring whether the scope of the PSD should be reconsidered so as to include the operators of virtual currencies or other new innovators. \nHow is the PSD working in practice? Does it serve as a model for the rest of the world? What are the barriers to the effective functioning of the passport? What have been the observations to date as regards the Level 2 law making process? How can the rules ensure sufficient standardisation while allowing for innovation and changing consumer behaviour? What other EU policy measures are required to further promote the success of the PSD? Can one already identify areas for further revisions to the PSD or would this be too early? \nPossible Panel: \nModerator: Elie Beyrouthy\, Chair of the Technical Committee \n\nEPIF Executive member\nPhilippe Pelle\, European Commission\nDirk Haubrich\, EBA\nNilixa Devlukia\, FCA\nSimon Newstead\, Representative of  Payment Infrastructure\, VocaLink\nAntonio H.
