The cooperation between the supervisory committees CEBS, CEIOPS and CESR has increased in importance. The three committees have prioritized the work to make each sector guidelines and advice on regulations as consistent as possible with other financial sectors.

The committees signed on 24 November 2005 a Joint Protocol to foster co-operation and coordination in the areas of regulation, policy, information exchange and other tasks with a common interest.

The committees have agreed on a common cross-sector work programme for 2006. The 3L3 work programme for 2007 has also been developed in accordance with the Joint Protocol of 24 November 2005.
