The EU Contact Committee on certain schemes for collective investment in transferable securities is next due to meet in autumn 2002. A precise date has not yet been fixed.

The UK is represented on the Committee by officials from HM Treasury and the Financial Services Authority. Financial regulation is not a devolved matter. Representatives of the Scottish Executive do not attend the Committee.
