The
Chancellor, in a letter published yesterday and sent to the
Governor of the Bank of England (Mark Carney), outlined his concerns regarding the growth in fixed elements of bank remuneration following the introduction of a bonus cap in
Directive 2013/36/EU: see
here (
pdf). He explained that he would be asking the
Fair and Effective Markets Review to consider the implications of the move towards increased levels of fixed remuneration.
The Chancellor also stated that the Government had decided not to pursue its case (
reference C-507/13) before the
Court of Justice of the European Union challenging the validity of the bonus cap. This decision follows the publication yesterday of the opinion of
First Advocate General Jääskinen, in which he advised the court to reject all of the UK's pleas and to dismiss the action: see
here. A summary of the opinion is available
here (
