The president of the Pan-Slovenian Shareholders' Association (VZMD), Mr. Kristjan Verbič, M.Sc., has received a notice of the Directorate General for Internal Market and Services of the European Commission about his placement on the List of experts who are to be appointed to the Financial Services User Group (FSUG),  and so far Slovenia has not had a representative in FSUG (in the photo, taken at the European Parliament, Mr. Kristjan Verbič with the EU Commissioner for Internal Market and Services Mr. Michel Barnier and EuroFinUse General Manager Mr. Guillaume Prache.) 

FSUG is an influential group, established in 2010 by the European Commission. During its first three-year mandate the group has proved very useful and effective, since it has been of a great assistance to the Commission at many initiatives, and at the same time it has also created its own ideas and projects. Thus, for example, it helped to rationalize and additionally improve the quality of contributions by consumers, small investors and companies when preparing the policy of the Commission in the field of financial services in general.

When being enlisted on the List of experts, Mr. Verbič, received a letter of congratulation sent by the General Manager of the European Federation of Financial Services Users (EuroFinUse), which was, otherwise, already represented in FSUG in the previous mandate.
