Paris is lobbying for the bloc to have The City's clearing houses barred from the EU's markets by 2025. European affairs minister Clement Beaune said a clear signal must be given to financiers so that clearing moves from the UK to the continent. Mr Beanue said: Either we consider that the clearing market will always be London-based, fine, maybe.<\/p>\n
Or we consider that there is a sovereignty issue in making a European market.<\/p>\n
\"We must say that there will be a time when clearing in the UK will stop.<\/p>\n
Clearing is a crucial part of the process of financial markets.<\/p>\n
It is the process of updating the accounts of the trading parties and arranging for the transfer of money and securities between buyer and seller.<\/p>\n
About a quarter of the trade settled in London clearing houses About is denominated in euros.<\/p>\n
Last year, Andrew Bailey, the Bank of England Governor, said that efforts to drag the activity across the Channel risked undermining financial stability on the continent.<\/p>\n
In September Mr Bailey said: If they want to take a decision to break the clearing system up, it is important to consider the risks to financial stability that come with fragmentation.<\/p>\n

\"That is a real threat.<\/p>\n

We have got the architecture and framework of international standards, lets put it to work.<\/p>\n
