2011/11/11
AFCO
10 amendments...
Amendment 11 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 9 a (new) (9a) Once the number of Judges of the General Court has been increased, the question of their appointment will naturally arise. Regarding the system for appointing Judges, Member States should agree on rules offering every guarantee as regards the independence and impartiality and the competence and suitability of the persons appointed, as well as making for equality and balance in terms of their home Member States.
Amendment 14 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 9 b (new) (9b) To enable the General Court to operate more efficiently and ensure that proceedings can be dealt with and adjudicated on within a reasonable time, the General Court may set up specialised Chambers where this is warranted by the number of proceedings in a given field.
Amendment 16 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 9 c (new) (9c) As regards the internal organisation of the General Court, the office of Vice- President should, following the approach adopted for the Court of Justice, be established for the purpose of assisting the President.
Amendment 17 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 9 d (new) (9d) In proceedings before the Court of Justice, a Judge should be permitted to announce, during the Court’s deliberations, that he intends to deliver a dissenting opinion as to the judgment or the reasons on which it is based, to be published together with the judgment. That possibility exists in several national and international courts, and their reputation and authority have not been undermined as a result. On the contrary, this is a solution which helps to advance judicial practice, offers guarantees of greater transparency, and serves to strengthen the democratic legitimacy of the courts, as it is particularly important to do in this instance, given that the judicial system concerned is one with a strong case law component.
Amendment 19 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 10 (10) In order to enable the specialised courts to continue to function satisfactorily in the absence of a Judge who, while not suffering from disablement deemed to be total, is prevented from participating in judicial business for an extended period of time, provision should be made for the possibility of attaching temporary Judges to those courts. The appointment of temporary Judges should offer every guarantee as regards the independence and impartiality and the competence and suitability of the persons appointed, as well as making for equality and balance in terms of their home Member States.

Amendment 14 #
Draft regulation Recital 9 a (new) (9a) Once the number of Judges of the General Court has been increased, the question of their appointment will naturally arise. Regarding the system for appointing Judges, Member States should agree on rules offering every guarantee as regards the independence, impartiality, competence and suitability of the persons appointed, and ensuring a balanced composition of the General Court on as broad a geographical basis as possible from among nationals of the Member States.
Amendment 16 #
Draft regulation Recital 9 b (new) (9b) To enable the General Court to operate more efficiently and ensure that proceedings can be dealt with and adjudicated on within a reasonable time, the General Court may set up specialised Chambers where this is warranted by the number of proceedings in a given field.
Amendment 17 #
Draft regulation Recital 9 c (new) (9c) As regards the internal organisation of the General Court, the office of Vice- President should, following the approach adopted for the Court of Justice, be established for the purpose of assisting the President.
Amendment 18 #
Draft regulation Recital 9 d (new) (9d) In proceedings before the Court of Justice, a Judge should be permitted to announce, during the Court’s deliberations, that he intends to deliver a dissenting opinion as to the judgment or the reasons on which it is based, to be published together with the judgment. That possibility exists in several national and international courts, and their reputation and authority have not been undermined as a result. On the contrary, this is a solution which helps to advance judicial practice, offers guarantees of greater transparency, and serves to strengthen the democratic legitimacy of the courts, as it is particularly important to do in this instance, given that the judicial system concerned is one with a strong case law component.
Amendment 19 #
Draft regulation Recital 10 (10) In order to enable the specialised courts to continue to function satisfactorily in the absence of a Judge who, while not suffering from disablement deemed to be total, is prevented from participating in judicial business for an extended period of time, provision should be made for the possibility of attaching temporary Judges to those courts. The appointment of temporary Judges should offer every guarantee as regards the independence, impartiality, competence and suitability of the persons appointed, and ensure a balanced composition on as broad a geographical basis as possible from among nationals of the Member States.

2012/0242(CNS) Prudential supervision of credit institutions: conferral of specific tasks on the European Central Bank (ECB)
2012/12/11
AFCO
24 amendments...
Amendment 56 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 11 (11) As the Euro area's central bank with extensive expertise in macroeconomic and financial stability issues, the ECB is well placed to carry out supervisory tasks with a focus on protecting the stability of Europe's financial system. Indeed
Amendment 67 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 24 (24) The conferral of supervisory tasks on the ECB for some of the Member States should be consistent with the framework of the European System of Financial Supervision (ESFS) set up in 2010 and its underlying objective to develop the single rulebook and enhance convergence of supervisory practices across the whole Union. Cooperation between the banking supervisors and the supervisors of insurance and securities markets is important to deal with issues of joint interest and to ensure proper supervision of credit institutions operating also in the insurance and securities sectors. The ECB should therefore be required to cooperate closely with the EBA, the European Securities and Markets Authority and the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority, within the framework of the EFSF. The ECB should carry out its supervisory tasks without prejudice to the competences of the other participants of the ESFS.
Amendment 68 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 24 a (new) (24 a) In order to preserve the integrity of the single financial market, the EBA shall maintain its role and retain all its existing powers and tasks: it should continue developing and ensuring the implementation of the single rulebook applicable to all Member States and enhance convergence of supervisory practices across the whole Union. In addition, EBA should now be tasked with the preparation of a single supervisory handbook to complement the EU's single rulebook and ensure consistency in bank supervision.
Amendment 69 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 25 (25) In order to ensure consistency between supervisory responsibilities conferred on the ECB and decision making within the EBA, the ECB should coordinate a common position amongst representatives of the national authorities of the participating Member States in relation to matters falling within its competence. The ECB must fully respect the role of the EBA.
Amendment 70 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 26 (26) The ECB should carry out its tasks subject to and in compliance with any Union law rule including the whole of primary and secondary Union law, Commission decisions in the area of State aids, competition rules and merger control
Amendment 72 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 29 (29) As regards the supervision of cross- border banks active both inside and outside the Euro area the ECB should cooperate closely with the competent authorities of non participating Member States. As a competent authority the ECB should be subject to the related obligations to cooperate and exchange information under Union law and should participate fully in the colleges of supervisors. In addition, since the exercise of supervisory tasks by a European institution brings about clear benefits in terms of financial stability and sustainable market integration, Member States not participating in the common currency should therefore also have the possibility to participate in the new mechanism. However, it is a necessary pre- condition for an effective exercise of supervisory tasks, that supervisory decisions are implemented fully and without delay. Member States wishing to participate in the new mechanism should therefore undertake to ensure that their national competent authorities will abide by and adopt any measure in relation to credit institutions requested by the ECB. The ECB should be able to establish a close cooperation with the competent authorities of a Member State not participating in the common currency. It should be obliged to establish the cooperation where the conditions set out in this regulation are met. The
Amendment 73 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 29 a (new) (29 a) The conditions under which representatives of the competent authorities of the Member States which established a close co-operation take part to the activities of the Supervisory Board should ensure their full and equal representation with the representatives of the competent authorities of the participating Member States, including in what regards the voting rights.
Amendment 75 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 34 a (new) (34 a) At the request of the parliaments of the participating Member States and of the Member States which have established close cooperation with the ECB, a representative of the supervisory board of the ECB, together with the national competent authority, may be heard in the competent committees of the national parliaments concerned, on the execution of its supervisory tasks.
Amendment 76 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 34 b (new) (34 b) Pursuant to Article 263 TFEU, the Court of Justice must be enabled to review the legality of acts of the ECB, acting in its supervisory capacity, that are intended to produce legal effects vis-à-vis third parties.
Amendment 77 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 35 (35) The ECB is responsible for carrying out monetary policy functions with a view to maintaining price stability in accordance with Article 127(1) TFEU. The exercise of supervisory tasks has the objective to protect the safety and soundness of credit institutions and the stability of the financial system. In order to avoid conflicts of interests and to ensure that each function is exercised in accordance with the applicable objectives, the ECB should ensure they are carried out in full separation. Staff involved in carrying out the tasks conferred on the ECB by this Regulation should be organisationally separated from other ECB staff and should be subject to separate reporting lines.
Amendment 81 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 36 (36) In particular, a supervisory board responsible for preparing decisions on supervisory matters should be set up with the ECB encompassing the specific expertise of national supervisors. The board should therefore be chaired by a Chair
Amendment 82 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 36 a (new) (36 a) The supervisory board should be responsible for preparing the decisions of the Governing Council of the ECB. The Governing Council should justify deviations from the proposals and draft decisions prepared by the Supervisory Board.
Amendment 85 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 41 (41) Given the globalisation of banking services and the increased importance of international standards, the ECB should carry out its tasks in respect of international standards and in dialogue and close cooperation with supervisors outside the Union, without duplicating or restricting the international role of the EBA. It should be empowered to develop contacts and enter into administrative arrangements with the supervisory authorities and administrations of third countries and with international organisations, subject to coordination with the EBA and while fully respecting the existing roles and respective competences of the Member States and the Union institutions.
Amendment 90 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 3 – paragraph 1 The ECB, in its role within the SSM, shall cooperate closely with the European Banking Authority, the European Securities and Markets Authority, the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority and the European Systemic Risk Board, which form part of the European System of Financial Supervision established by Article 2 of Regulations (EU) No. 1093/2010, (EU) No 1094/2010, and (EU) No 1095/2010. The ECB shall carry out its tasks without prejudice to the competences of the other participants of the ESFS.
Amendment 92 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 4 – paragraph 1 – introductory part 1. The ECB shall, in accordance with the relevant provisions of Union law, as well as in accordance with the single rulebook and the single supervisory handbook developed by EBA, be exclusively competent to carry out, for prudential supervisory purposes, the following tasks in relation to all credit institutions established in the participating Member States:
Amendment 101 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 4 – paragraph 3 3. Subject to and in compliance with any relevant Union law rule and in particular any legislative and non-legislative act, including the single rulebook and the single supervisory handbook developed by EBA as well as the technical standards developed by EBA and adopted by the Commission, the ECB may adopt regulations and recommendations and take decisions to implement or apply Union law, to the extent necessary to carry out the tasks conferred upon it by this Regulation, and only where those Union acts do not deal with certain aspects necessary for the proper exercise of the ECB's tasks or do not deal with them in sufficient detail.
