    can spain really do this even if they wan to? mifid rules are fairly clear. thye could always launch a complaint with the eu disputes people or with the CySec directly but an outright ban seems a stretch

    Regulator can do what he wants to. The FCA did it already to Cysec brokers. About all Cyprus could do if it didnt like it is reciprocate and ban Spanish brokers in Cyprus but that wouldnt matter as there arent no Spanish brokers to speak of. What Cysec really needs to do is crack down on bad brokers there are lots of them.

    About time somebody did something. Somewhat interesting that it’s market pressures that could lead the brokers to clean up their act and not the regulators. adam Smith’s invisible hand in action

    Not surprising. If Israeli, Russian, and Cypriot-run brokers were not active then many of the regulatory problems facing the industry simply wouldn’t exist.
