Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

I think you mean decentralised multi-stakeholders regulation rather than self-regulation. In that case, I agree, regulation should take place at the relevant level, which varies with the kind of market. However global markets have to be regulated at a global level.

And to insure fairness and transparency, the rules and methods for decentralised multi-stakeholders regulation must be defined and agreed at a global level.

Agreed: I did say that Governments would have to set "Market Standards" (at the appropriate level, as you say). ie set the framework within which the "multi-stakeholder" regulation takes place.

There's no difference between "multi-stakeholder" and "self-regulation" by all. It's the same holistic outcome.

Yes, but most people will probably understand "self-regulation" as voluntary regulation by the industry alone (i.e. to leave the financial markets regulation to the banks themselves).
