Amendment 1478 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 186 a (new) 186 a. Acknowledges the need for a revision of liquidity standards, but underlines that the recent proposals tabled by the Basel Committee are too narrow and simplistic and will harm mortgage-credit institutions in certain countries, even those which during the most severe times of the recent financial crisis showed great stability.
Amendment 1479 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 186 b (new) 186 b. Calls on the Commission not to put proposals forward that limits and declassifies bonds just because they are not issued by the state, the recent crisis showed that bonds issued by the state contributed to financial instability, as well as bonds not issued by the state turned out to safeguard the financial system, calls therefore for a broader definition of liquid assets than the one put forward by the Basel Committee.

2009/2236(INI) Future of the CAP after 2013
2010/04/23

8 amendments...
Amendment 1 #
Draft opinion Recital B B. whereas, with the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, the European Parliament has gained the power to shape the Union's agricultural policy, not only as regards multiannual agricultural programmes but also by amending the annual budget for agriculture, thus giving the Parliament the responsibility of ensuring a fair and sustainable common agricultural policy,
Amendment 2 #
Draft opinion Recital C C. whereas the new CAP will have to face new and demanding challenges with a view not merely to meeting the food consumption needs of European citizens with adequate quality products, meeting the challenges with regards to world food security, ensuring the functioning of the agricultural markets and supporting the income of the agricultural sector but also preserving the environment in all parts of Europe and responding to climate change,
Amendment 9 #
Draft opinion Recital D D. whereas the current small margins available under Heading 2 make it very difficult for the Union to respond appropriately to market crises and unexpected
Amendment 11 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3 3.
Amendment 17 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 4 4. Recalls that over the last four years of the current MFF, it was only possible to agree the annual budgets either by using up the existing margins or through recourse to revision and reprogramming, reducing the ceilings of Heading 2 in order to finance other EU priorities; points out that in 2011-2013 the margins in Heading 2 will be extremely limited;
Amendment 20 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 5. Stresses the need, given the new Common Agricultural Policy objectives, to provide adequate funding
Amendment 24 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 6 6. Draws attention to the fact that the rule stipulating that the Commission may no longer amend its draft budget once the Conciliation Committee has been convened will preclude the use of the traditional autumn letter of amendment to take account of the updated forecasts for agricultural policy and their budgetary implications; taking into account that agriculture year is running from the 15 October each year asks the Commission to present the latest financial data on agriculture before the Conciliation committee in convened; takes the view that, if these circumstances arise, the most appropriate procedure would involve the submission by the Commission – if necessary – of a specific draft amending budget once all the agricultural data have been finalised;
Amendment 26 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 7 7. Recalls that Pilot Projects (PP) and Preparatory Actions (PA) introduced by the European Parliament have evolved into important tools for the formulation of political priorities and the introduction of new initiatives that often turned into EU activities and programmes, including in the field of agriculture and rural development; believes that also in the future pilot projects and preparatory actions could be a platform for testing new ideas for reforms;

Calls for the continuation of specific measures to compensate farmers producing in areas with natural handicaps and environmental sensitive areas in order to ensure that agricultural activity takes place and local food is produced across the EU, reducing the threat of land abandonment and ensuring balanced territorial management across the EU; considers that this support scheme should remain co- financed as it currently is;
Amendment 731 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 60 a (new) 60 a. Believes that innovation in agriculture and related sectors can be an important engine in creating smart growth in the rural areas if the forward looking frames are created to let the sector explore new earnings in green energy as well as other non-food areas, and contribute to addressing the new challenges, e.g. global competition, food safety, animal welfare, climate change, biodiversity, water management. Green growth aims at strengthening the EU’s position internationally in terms of developing new solutions on the basis of new products and processes. Support for the innovative solutions should be underpinned in the future CAP.

Amendment 109 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 5 (5) Directive 94/19/EC was based on the principle of minimum harmonisation. Consequently, a variety of Deposit Guarantee Schemes with very distinct features were established in the Union. This caused market distortions for credit institutions and limited the benefits of the Internal Market for depositors. Full harmonisation is therefore of utmost importance in order to eliminate these distortions.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 7 a (new) (7a) Co-operatives constitute the predominant type of business owned and controlled by farmers in the EU: currently, 58 % of the raw milk in the EU is processed by dairy co-operatives. Cooperatives are economic organisations in which milk producers participate on a voluntary basis and which they manage themselves. The existing co-operative structures will be respected in the proposals.
Amendment 108 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 12 (12) Rules have been introduced at EU level for interbranch organisations in some sectors. These organisations can play useful roles in allowing dialogue between actors in the supply chain, and in promoting best practice and market transparency. Such rules should equally be applied in the milk and milk products sector, along with the provisions clarifying the position of such organisations under competition law whilst ensuring that they do not distort competition or the internal market

Amendment 18 #

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 20 20. Takes note of the previous generally positive experience of the use of innovative financial instruments -including grant and loan blending and risk-sharing mechanisms, such as the Loan Guarantee Instrument for Trans-European Transport Network projects (LGTT), the Risk Sharing Finance Facility (RSFF) and the instruments of cohesion policy (JEREMIE, JESSICA, JASPERS and JASMINE)- in order to address a specific policy objective; considers that the Union should take action to extend the system of innovative financing, following a precise assessment of public and private investment needs and calls on Member States to ensure that their national legal framework enables the implementation of these and other similar systems; calls, therefore, for substantive strengthening of the regulatory, budgetary and operational framework of these mechanisms, in order to ensure their effectiveness in terms of leveraging investment and of proper use of EU resources and to guarantee adequate monitoring, reporting and accountability;

Proposal for a regulation Recital 68 (68) A leverage ratio is a new regulatory and supervisory tool for the Union. In line with international agreements, it should be introduced first as an additional feature that can be applied on individual institutions at the discretion of supervisory authorities.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 76 (76) Apart from short-term liquidity needs, credit institutions and investment firms should also adopt funding structures that are stable at a longer term horizon. In December 2010, the BCBS agreed that the NSFR will move to a minimum standard by 1 January 2018 and that the BCBS will put in place rigorous reporting processes to monitor the ratio during a transition period and will continue to review the implications of these standards for financial markets, credit extension and economic growth, addressing unintended consequences as necessary. The BCBS thus agreed that the NSFR will be subject to an observation period and will include a review clause. In this context, EBA should, based on reporting required by this Regulation, evaluate how a stable funding requirement should be designed. Based on this evaluation, the Commission should report to Council and European Parliament together with any appropriate proposals in order to

Amendment 275 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 31 (31) The creation and development of new economic activity in the agricultural sector by young farmers and other new entrants is financially challenging and constitutes an element that should be considered in the allocation and targeting of direct payments. This development is essential for the competitiveness of the agricultural sector in the Union and, for that reason, an income support to young farmers and new entrants commencing their agricultural activities should be established in order to facilitate the initial establishment of young farmers and new entrants and the structural adjustment of their holdings after the initial setting up. Member States should be able to use part of their national ceilings for direct payments to grant an annual area- based payment, on top of the basic payment, to young farmers and new entrants. That payment should only be granted during a period of maximum five years, since it should only cover the initial period of the life of the business and should not become an operating aid.

That principle was subsequently reflected in Council Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 of 20 September 2005 on support for rural development by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD)26 and Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) 27.

Amendment 116 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 (8) This new category of organised trading facility will complement the existing types of trading venues. While regulated markets and multilateral trading facilities are characterised by non-discretionary execution of transactions, the operator of an organised trading facility only accessible to its clients excluding any credit institution or investment firm should have discretion over how a transaction is to be executed. Consequently, conduct of business rules, best execution and client order handling obligations should apply to the transactions concluded on an OTF only accessible to its clients operated by an investment firm or a market operator. However, because an OTF constitutes a genuine trading platform, the platform operator should be neutral. Therefore, the operator of an OTF that provide organised execution and arranging of trading in equities should not be allowed to execute in the OTF any transaction between multiple third-party buying and selling interests including client orders brought together in the system against his own proprietary capital. This also excludes them from acting as systematic internalisers in the OTF operated by them

For derivative instruments, other than OTC derivatives, access of the CCP to a trading venue shall be granted only where the competent authorities concerned are confident that interoperability arrangements may not endanger the stability and robustness of the clearing processes. For OTC derivatives, access of the CCP to a trading venue shall be granted in accordance with the provisions of Regulation [ ] (EMIR).

Amendment 455 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 12 b (new) 12b. Does not believe that the Commission's proposal to introduce an upper ceiling for direct payments would deliver its objectives as it would simply result in the administrative splitting up of large agricultural holdings for pure accountancy purposes; is of the opinion that a degree of degression in the amounts large-scale farms receive from the basic direct payments could be envisaged;

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 13 Amendment 479 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 14 Amendment 490 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 14 a (new) 14a. Calls for the introduction of a second-tier of direct payments consisting of 25 to 30% of the basic direct payments in each Member State to be used as an EU-wide incentivisation scheme targeted at enhancing sustainability by improving both resource and production efficiency, making EU agriculture more competitive, in line with the recently published Commission's 'Roadmap for moving to a competitive low carbon economy in 2050';

Amendment 496 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 14 c (new) 14c. Calls for Member States, on a compulsory basis, to choose at least 2 to 3 measures from that EU list according to their priorities; Notes that in order to take account of the diversity of agricultural practices, productions, and ecosystems which characterises some of the Member States, the choice of measures may differ in different regions within a Member State;
Amendment 498 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 14 e (new) 14e. Calls, however, for farmers to have the freedom to opt in to the measures if they want to receive the sustainability payment, and there will be no additional penalties if they choose not to;
Amendment 499 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 14 f (new) 14f. Believes that any controls put in place to check the implementation of the payments received under the sustainability top-up should be accommodated within the current integrated agricultural control system (IACS), so as to avoid the duplication of control systems under pillar 1, and that when on-farm checks are necessary, they take place at the same time as the checks already carried out for cross-compliance requirements and direct payments entitlements, or at the same time as checks on compliance with agri- environmental measures under pillar 2;
Amendment 500 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 14 g (new) 14g. Believes that compensation for natural disadvantages should still lie in the second pillar; however calls, in line with the Commission's proposals to strengthen the fight against land abandonment and to guarantee local food production for local communities across the EU, for the possibility to be left to Member States to top up the support received by farms situated in areas with natural handicaps through an additional support scheme under pillar 1 using up to 10% of the national basic direct payments;

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 15 a (new) 15 a. Recognises, however, that in certain sectors and regions such as disadvantaged regions (hill and mountain farming, specific climatic areas, etc.), where there are no alternatives to livestock farming, there may be considerable economic and environmental drawbacks which cannot be reconciled with the aims of the Treaty; Furthermore, given the move from a historical to an area support model, considers that an adequate margin for flexibility should be left to Member States; acknowledges, therefore, that production- based premiums remain defensible at WTO level, as part of the fight against land abandonment and in order to boost certain national priorities such as encouraging organic production or specific grassland-based livestock production;

Amendment 782 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 27 a (new) 27a. Points out that the cross-compliance system makes the granting of direct payments subject to compliance with statutory requirements and the maintenance of farmland in good agricultural and environmental condition, and remains one of the appropriate means of optimising the provision of baseline eco-system services by farmers and meeting new environmental challenges by securing the provision of basic public goods; notes, however, that the introduction of cross-compliance has raised a whole range of problems relating to administrative issues and acceptance by farmers, who had the impression that they were losing a degree of freedom in their work; calls therefore for the administrative burden on farmers to be reduced through a simplified implementation system for cross- compliance requirements;
Amendment 785 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 27 c (new) 27c. Believes that genuine efforts are being made to simplify the system and reduce the administrative red-tape placed on farmers; calls however for a simplified, more proportionate and risk-based approach by the Commission and Member States to the implementation of regulatory controls, the conduct of compliance audits and the system of penalties;
Amendment 786 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 27 d (new) 27d. Is ready to consider the introduction of a small farmers' scheme under pillar 1, only if the primary objective of such a system is to simplify administrative procedures and paper work for small farmers and as long as it does not undermine competitiveness or frustrate the necessary modernisation of EU agriculture; such a scheme could consist of taking recipients of direct payments out of the mainstream basic direct payments system when they are currently below a certain amount of annual support; Takes the view that such a scheme should be voluntary on Member States and allow them sufficient flexibility to determine who is eligible as a 'small farmer' in each country;

Emphasises in the context of the EU 2020 Strategy that research and development, the use of new technologies and best agricultural practices are crucial to develop sustainable intensive and precision farming techniques in order to improve competitiveness and increase production and agricultural productivity while reducing the use of scarce resources such as water, land and energy; takes the view that investment in agricultural innovation should be further encouraged with a view to increase the use of the best available technologies on farms, inter alia through the CAP and EU research and development framework programmes, in order to address new challenges, starting with feeding a projected global population of 9 billion people in 2050 while making a better use of resources;
Amendment 1136 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 49 d (new) 49 d. Believes that farmers can actively contribute to biodiversity, landscape management and environmental protection, as well as climate change adaptation and mitigation, in a cost- effective way; calls for the CAP to provide the opportunity for the vast bulk of agricultural land to be covered by agri- environmental schemes to further incentivise a majority of farmers for the delivery of additional eco-system services while encouraging more sustainable, lower-input production models such as organic farming, precision farming, the development of high-nature-value farming and sustainable intensive agricultural practices; recalls in this context that the agri-environmental programmes must be designed so as to closely fit national and regional priorities and specificities, and be clearly differentiated from the sustainability element of the first pillar in their objectives, scale and tools;

Amendment 17 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 5 5. Takes the view that the promotion of growth and jobs require specific actions and enhanced budgetary efforts to support competitiveness, innovation and small and medium enterprises (SMEs), since most of the EU economic potential lies in SMEs, which, according to latest studies, created 85 % of net new jobs in the EU between 2002 and 2010 and are the backbone of our economic growth; acknowledging therefore that efforts need to be made to reconsider the weighting of current headings and budget lines to support the promotion of growth efforts;
Amendment 24 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 6 6. Stresses that such support would be instrumental in preventing SMEs from cutting down their investments, in particular on research and development, while at the same time promoting employment and ensuring that skills are conserved, thus helping to unleash SMEs’ innovation potential, which is essential to the EU’s prosperity and to the creation of a knowledge-based society; further stresses in this context the necessity to further simplify the application procedure for EU-funded programmes;

2013/2021(INI) Reforming the structure of the EU banking sector
2013/04/18
ECON
41 amendments...
Amendment 23 #
Motion for a resolution Recital C C. whereas excessive risk-taking, excessive leverage, inadequate capital and liquidity requirements, inadequate governance, risk management and compliance and the excessive complexity of the overall banking system were at the root of the financial crisis;
Amendment 31 #
Motion for a resolution Recital C a (new) Ca. whereas, as highlighted in the HLEG's analysis, no particular business model did particularly well or particularly poorly during the financial crisis;
Amendment 40 #
Motion for a resolution Recital D D. whereas the current post-crisis weakness in the structure of EU banks demonstrates the need for reform in order to serve the wider needs of the economy
Amendment 43 #
Motion for a resolution Recital D a (new) D a. Whereas a number of important EU initiatives have been taken to prevent a new banking crisis, increase protection of tax payers and retail clients and create robust and sustainable payment systems.
Amendment 70 #
Motion for a resolution Recital G a (new) Ga. whereas more banks have had significant losses from the types of activities that are supposed to remain in the deposit bank, in particular real estate lending, than those caused by losses in trading related activities, let alone market making in fixed-income markets.
Amendment 72 #
Motion for a resolution Recital G b (new) Gb. whereas there is no analysis in the HLEG report of whether mandatory separation within a holding company is sufficient to insulate the deposit bank from what happens to the trading bank. A mandatory separation does not necessarily hinder banks from transferring funds from the deposit taking entity at a subsidized price to the trading entity. Contagion effects cannot be excluded if the deposit bank and the trading bank work under similar brands. Liquidity stress can be triggered by rumour rather than fact, which can adversely affect the deposit bank. Thus, the need for government intervention may still arise. In addition it is not obvious that a mandatory separation will reduce governments' incentives to bail out troubled banks. Governments may want to protect systemically important banks regardless from where the losses originate. Moreover it is unclear how a legal separation would be accomplished in a bank with a wide range of cross-border activities. The Group may thus be advocating a measure that is neither necessary, nor sufficient to achieve the stated objective. An impact assessment of the cost and benefits must therefore be made before rules on mandatory separation are adopted.
Amendment 73 #
Motion for a resolution Recital G c (new) Gc. whereas there is little evidence to support that a mandatory separation into trading banks and deposit banks would have helped to prevent the financial crisis or even ease the consequences. Had the global banking system carried more capital, bigger liquidity buffers and longer term funding the crisis would have had less severe consequences.
Amendment 76 #
Motion for a resolution Recital H H. whereas the Commission proposal should provide for a strong, stable and resilient banking sector with access to a variety of funding sources for the internal market while respecting the diversity of the Member States' banking sectors
Amendment 83 #
Motion for a resolution Recital H a (new) Ha. whereas it is necessary that banks hold higher levels and better quality of capital; have greater liquidity buffers and longer-term funding.
Amendment 89 #
Motion for a resolution Recital I I. whereas, since it is neither feasible nor desirable to effect a bank separation post- failure, an effective recovery and resolution regime is needed in order to provide authorities with a credible set of tools, including pre-defined bail-inable debt instruments and a bridge bank, so that they can intervene sufficiently early and quickly in an unsound or failing bank to enable its essential financial and economic functions to continue, while minimising the impact on financial stability and ensuring that appropriate losses are imposed on the shareholders and creditors who bore the risk of investing in the institution in question, and not by taxpayers or depositors;
Amendment 109 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 1. Welcomes the HLEG's analysis and recommendations on banking reform and considers them a sound basis for initiating reforms, subject to a comprehensive impact assessment proving that such reforms are necessary taking into account the impact of the full implementation of the existing package of reforms to capital, liquidity, resolution and capital markets;
Amendment 114 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 a (new) 1a. Takes the view that mandatory separation could damage the market making function in fixed-income markets. This would have adverse effects on the real economy. In particular, it would increase the costs and risks borne by both sovereign borrowers, corporates and the functioning of the financial sector as a whole.
Amendment 116 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 b (new) 1b. Believes that higher capital and liquidity buffers in combination with robust recovery and resolution regimes and reduced interconnectivity are essential in order to create financial stability. The proposal from the HLEG in relation to mandatory separation of banking activities has to be carefully assessed and be regarded as a possible complement to enhanced capital and liquidity requirements and other reforms already agreed upon. The impact assessment has to assess whether structural reform is needed. A proposal from the Commission to require separation along the lines proposed by the HLEG should not be taken until other legislative reforms have taken full effect.
Amendment 123 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 2. Takes the view that while current proposals for reforms of EU banking sector rules (including the Capital Requirements Directive and Regulation, the Recovery and Resolution Directive, the Single Supervisory Mechanism, the Deposit Guarantee Schemes Directive

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 3 a (new) 3a. Requires that the Commission's impact assessment take account of all other regulatory proposals designed to mitigate the costs of future bank failure and promote financial stability, in particular CRD IV and the Recovery and Resolution directive;
Amendment 173 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 6 6. Considers that the core principle of banking reform must be to deliver a safe, stable and efficient banking system that serves the needs of the real economy, customers and consumers; takes the view that structural reform must stimulate economic growth by supporting the provision of credit to the economy, in particular to SMEs and start-ups, provide greater resilience against potential financial crises, restore trust and confidence in banks and remove risks to public finances; Recognises also that market making is an essential part of the infrastructure of fixed-income markets in EU-countries and that the importance of market making for fixed-income markets has been recognised by the European Parliament in the current review of MiFID/MiFIR.
Amendment 178 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 6 6. Considers that the core principle of banking reform, if conducted, must be to deliver a safe, stable and efficient banking system that serves the needs of the real economy, customers and consumers; takes the view that structural reform must stimulate economic growth by supporting the provision of credit to the economy, in particular to SMEs and start-ups, provide greater resilience against potential financial crises, restore trust and confidence in banks and remove risks to public finances;
Amendment 183 #

Amendment 185 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 6 b (new) 6b. Considers that banking activities that are essential for the functioning of the EU capital markets, such as market making, certain hedging activities, certain types of forex and interest related derivatives transactions, must not be hampered by new reform initiatives, these activities should be analysed and addressed on the basis of their importance for the functioning of the capital markets and creating long term economic growth;
Amendment 193 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 7 7. Considers that an effective banking system must deliver a change in banking culture in order to reduce complexity, enhance competition, limit interconnectedness between risky and
Amendment 204 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 7 a (new) 7a. Considers that the transmission funds efficiently from savers to investors is a key component of a well functioning economy and necessary for long term economic growth within the EU and that market making activities which service clients and provide liquidity are key contributors to this process.
Amendment 208 #
