New MiFID Course – Challenges for the European Economic Area, the Hedge Funds and the Offshore Financial Centers, the USA and the World

Wilmington, DE, May 08, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Compliance LLC, a leading provider of Basel ii, Sarbanes Oxley, MiFID and compliance training, executive coaching and consulting in more than 30 countries, today announced the launch of two new web sites, www.markets-in-financial-instruments-directive.com and www.mifid-training.net , that is focused on the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) Implementation and Compliance Training.

“MiFID is a very important directive indented to harmonise the European market. But, it is now wise to spend so much money only for that. Every new directive is (or should be) a new opportunity, a competitive advantage for financial institutions,” said George Lekatis, General Manager and Chief Compliance Consultant of Compliance LLC.

“MiFID is not a “one size fits all” approach, applied uniformly in all jurisdictions. It is different for the UK with the unique banking sector and the common law tradition, and different for Germany and France, which are so different even within their civil law traditions. It is definitely unique for the Offshore Financial Centers, like the Cayman Islands and Jersey, and challenging for the countries of the European Economic Area. Each country, each financial organization, can use MiFID as a competitive advantage,” continued George.

“Our MiFID training course is definitely different. You can find the detailed course synopsis at the new web site, www.mifid-training.net."

Some of the topics that will be discussed in the class are:

*MiFID and the European Economic Area (EEA)
*MiFID and countries outside the European Economic Area
