But implicit in the reversal of the banks' earlier suggestion that the Dutch, not the British, would supply the lead regulator for the combined group is a basic principle that ought to guide any banks toying with a cross-border deal in future: regulation is not a bargaining chip to be traded along with the location of the head office, the number of board seats and the colour of the new logo. Barclays' and ABN's tactics in setting lead supervision by the Dutch as an outline objective of their discussions always looked suspect. The proposal jumped the gun and seemed certain to rile the FSA, which prides itself on being Europe's premier regulator.
