ZURICH, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Capital requirements for UBS

should not exceed those in other major financial

centres, a Swiss parliamentary committee said on Tuesday,

increasing pressure on the government to ease part of the

proposed rules that do not require lawmakers' approval.

The remarks by the lower chamber's influential economic

affairs and taxation committee follow parliamentary hearings

with top UBS executives, leaders of the Swiss National Bank and

the head of financial market regulator FINMA.

"The tightening of regulations must ensure a competitive

cost-benefit ratio for the Swiss capital regime," the committee

said in a letter to the government.
