The Federation of European Accountants (FEE) has issued a letter to Mr. Klaus-Heiner Lehne, Chair of the Committee on Legal Affairs (JURI) of the European Parliament on the recast of the 4th and 7th Accounting Directives. The European Commission published proposals for revising the Accounting Directives in October 2011 and JURI, representing the European Parliament, subsequently analysed the proposals. Currently, European Council, Parliament and Commission seem to be locked in their trilogue. FEE has been trying to further inform the debate and help close the gaps by publishing various comment letters and a policy statement on the topic.
