The QCA Markets and Regulations and Legal Committees examined this Financial Services Authority (FSA) consultation on amending the Listing Rules to create a 'Premium' and 'Standard' segment.  The QCA noted that we believe, certainly from a small/mid-cap perspective, that introducing a
new European directive minimum listing for UK companies is unnecessary and differentiating between a ‘Premium’ and a ‘Standard’ listing for UK companies adds an extra layer of complexity and could cause confusion.
