**Affirmed position.** Four Predictions About the Future of EU Securities Regulation concludes that the proposed process will fail because it does not address national protectionism and bureaucratic inertia. This independently corresponds to Kaal's national-protectionism barrier to cross-jurisdiction harmonization. The source concerns a broader EU process and does not specifically test close-out netting or documentation standards.
