12/04/2018 (Agence Europe) – A study published on Thursday 12 July by Corporate Europe Observatory unveils revolving-door job practices within the Directorate General for Financial Stability, the Financial Services and Capital Markets Union (DG FISMA) of the European Commission. Between 2008 and 2017, a third of senior officials within this DG came from the industry or went into the private sector, the Corporate Europe Observatory study reports. The organisation considers that nearly a decade after the start of the financial crisis, the DG “still has a sizeable revolving-door problem”. The study also shows that four of the five former Directors of DG FISMA between 2008 and 2017 left the Commission to go on to work for financial industry companies or to take on lobbying work in this field.
