【国际观察】欧盟拟对区块链展开“宽松”监管
在本周一于伦敦召开的一次活动中，欧盟议会罗马尼亚成员Sorin Moisa表示，欧盟委员会对区块链基础持"接受、支持但保留一定程度警示"的态度。
他指出，本月早些时候，欧盟委员会曾认定ICO活动应被视为证券交易。区别于加密货币，ICO自身并不具备价值，它们只是在辅助交易。
Moisa表示，明年早些时候欧盟将成立一个专门的观察团，监管区块链相关的机遇和风险，并明确其他可能得到应用的实践领域（比如审计或增值税申报等）
此外，欧盟委员会明年还会上马一个实验项目，重点关注区块链在财务报告领域方面的应用。
Moisa指出，布鲁塞尔方面对区块链技术的认知正在日渐提高，他们也希望通过不断的了解和试验，积累相关知识，争取早日对其进行合理合法监管，推动新技术造福社会。
Brussels is taking a “soft touch” approach to regulating blockchain as it explores the technology’s applications across government services.
The European Commission is approaching blockchain with “acceptance and support but a healthy degree of caution” said Romanian member of the European Parliament Sorin Moisa speaking at an event in London in Tuesday.
He also said that a warning on initial coin offerings issued by the European financial watchdog earlier this month and which said they would be treated as securities would not apply to utility tokens. These differ from cryptocurrencies in that they facilitate a transaction rather than having an intrinsic value in themselves.
An EU Observatory will launch early next year, said Moisa, to monitor the opportunities and risks of the technology, as well as identify areas where it could be put into use by the European Commission, such as procurement or VAT reporting.
The commission will also launch a pilot project next year, focused on using blockchain for financial reporting as well as a white paper discussing the technology.
“There is both fascination and bewilderment in Brussels with blockchain. Awareness however is growing. There’s a drive to understand, to pilot and experiment, and also to regulate,” he said.
