EU to propose greater transparency for credit default swaps - EU document

"Incomplete and asymmetrical reporting of single name CDS contracts referencing systemically relevant European entities causes insecurity in the market, especially in periods of stressed market conditions," the document prepared for a meeting of EU states said.
