Proposal for a directive Article 11 – paragraph 3 a (new) 3a. By derogation from the standardised approach in paragraphs 1 and 2, Deposit Guarantee Schemes may use their own risk-based methods to determine the degree of risk incurred by members and calculate contributions by member bodies to the Deposit Guarantee Scheme. Calculation of the contributions shall be proportional to the commercial risk of the institute in question and take due consideration of the risk profiles of the various business models. The procedures may also calculate the contribution base from the assets side of the balance sheet and consider capital adequacy, the quality of the assets and liquidity at least as risk indicators. The procedures must be approved by the respective national supervisory authorities and by the European Banking Authority and accord with the guidelines developed by the European Banking Authority pursuant to Article 11(5).

Amendment 255 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 32 a (new) (32a) Consumers shall have the right to discharge their obligations under a credit agreement prior to the expiry of that agreement. In the case of credit agreements with a fixed borrowing rate, Member States may make the exercise of that right contingent on the existence of a valid interest on the part of the consumer, for example the sale of the item of immovable property on grounds of a change in personal circumstances (e.g. moving house, loss of employment, illness or divorce). The wish to pay a lower borrowing rate shall not in itself be deemed to constitute a valid interest.
Amendment 259 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 32 b (new) (32b) Compensation payments in the event of early repayment must be objectively justified and calculated in a readily understandable way. The factors taken into account in such calculation must include possible advantages to the creditor, for example if the repayment is made at a time when market conditions favour the creditor.

Proposal for a directive Article 2 – paragraph 2 – point b a (new) (ba) ‘Start-up loans’ granted to a restricted customer segment, under statutory conditions and for a general interest purpose, free of interest, at a rate of interest lower than that prevailing on the market or at rates of interest no higher than those prevailing on the market.
Amendment 329 #
Proposal for a directive Article 3 – paragraph 1 – point l a (new) (la) 'Compensation payment' means compensation for objectively justified costs, calculated in a readily understandable way, that are directly linked to early repayment of credit, including any loss of interest, if the repayment falls within a period for which the borrowing rate is fixed. In calculating the compensation payment, possible benefits for the creditor shall be taken into account, for example if the repayment is made at a time when market conditions are favourable to the creditor.
Amendment 347 #

In the case of credit agreements with a fixed borrowing rate, Member States shall ensure that the repayment flexibility arrangements are not used to avoid making compensation payments which may be required to the creditor.
Amendment 701 #
Proposal for a directive Article 18 c (new) Article 18 c Switching of creditor 1. Member States may foresee that creditors can transfer credit agreements or portfolios of credit agreement to other financial institutions but only with the clear consent of the consumer and only as long as the loan conditions are not altered to the disadvantage of the consumer. This paragraph shall be without prejudice to Article 122a of Directive 2006/48/EC. Member States shall ensure that mortgages portfolios are transferable to a new lender without registration of a new mortgage deed for each loan in the transferred portfolio. 2. Unless in the case of credit agreements with a fixed rate, Member States shall ensure that consumers also have the right to transfer a credit agreement to a new creditor which is prepared to accept the transfer and which makes a binding offer to the consumer provided that (a) the binding offer significantly improves the economic conditions for the consumer either by an improvement of at least 100 basis points in the interest rate or by an extension or reduction of more than a third in the length of the repayment period for the outstanding debt; (b) the creditor refuses to make a binding offer before the expiry of the offer made by the new creditor which at least matches the terms of the binding offer made by the new creditor; and (c) the creditor receives adequate compensation where appropriate according to national law. Member States shall ensure in such cases that the compensation does not constitute a penalisation of the consumer and that once a credit agreement has been in force for five years the compensation shall not be higher than 1 % of the outstanding debt.
Amendment 706 #
Proposal for a directive Article 18 a (new) Article 18a European Mortgage Key Identifier 1. Member States shall ensure that a European Mortgage Key Identifier (EMKI) is assigned to every new credit agreement. 2. The EMKI shall be a standard code expressed in alphanumeric characters that contains at least the following information: (a) the Member State where the property that serves as collateral is located; (b) the creditor who granted the credit; (c) the data used to identify the property in a register that provides information on rights to residential immovable property; 3. The Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 26, to further specify the characteristics of the EMKI and the procedures for the assignment of the EMKI.
Amendment 708 #
Proposal for a directive Article 18 b (new) Article 18b Registers of credit agreements related to residential immovable property 1. Member States shall ensure that the commencement, modification or termination of any credit agreement located in their territory is reported to a register designated by the Member State. 2. Such reports shall contain at least the following information: (a) the EMKI; (b) the identification of the residential immovable property to which the credit agreement relates; (c) the amount of the loan; (d) the maturity of the loan; (e) the currency in which the loan is denominated; (f) the creditor who granted the credit; (g) the consumer who has taken out the loan. 3. This information must be available on a centralised basis to the parties to the agreement, credit intermediaries and creditors who are directly involved, holders of rights under the agreement or to the item of immovable residential property in question and the competent authorities. If loans are securitised or sold on, with the consent of the current creditor potential buyers shall be given access to information relevant to them. 4. Member States shall ensure that the consumer's personal rights are safeguarded.

Amendment 4 #
Motion for a resolution Recital B a (new) Ba. whereas the successful implementation of the Europe 2020 strategy is bolstered by the provision of SGEI, and these services can help to reach growth targets in the areas of employment, education and social integration in particular, so that in the end the high level of productivity, employment and social cohesion that has been set can be achieved,
Amendment 7 #

Amendment 20 #
Motion for a resolution Recital E b (new) Eb. whereas pursuant to Article 107 TFEU a compensatory payment is regarded as state aid only where it hinders trade between Member States,
Amendment 21 #
Motion for a resolution Recital E c (new) Ec. whereas compensatory payments encompass all advantages granted by the state or through state resources in any form whatsoever,
Amendment 24 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 a (new) 1a. Highlights the improvements in terms of application and comprehensibility that have been possible thanks to the measures taken in 2005, known as the Altmark package; points out that the public consultations have nevertheless shown that the legal instruments need to be even clearer and more straightforward, proportionate and effective;
Amendment 25 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 b (new) 1b. Stresses that the outcome of the public consultation also indicates that, apart from the administrative burden, other factors possibly militating against application of the rules on state aid to SGEI have been uncertainties and misinterpretations, especially of key concepts in the rules, such as ‘act of entrustment’, ‘reasonable return’, ‘undertaking’, ‘economic and non- economic services’ and ‘internal market relevance’; welcomes, therefore, the Commission's statement that it intends to explain and clarify the basic concepts;
Amendment 28 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 a (new) 2a. Stresses that particular attention must be paid, when reviewing the rules, to ensuring that the Community concepts and terms used are clearly tailored to the nature of public services and the diversity of forms of organisation and stakeholders involved, and that they take proper account of the actual risk of an impact on trade between Member States;
Amendment 57 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 8 8. Welcomes the Commission’s concern to ensure, through a more diverse approach to the application of state aid rules, that the administrative burden placed on the public authorities and service providers is proportionate to the potential impact of the measure concerned on competition in the internal market; calls therefore, with reference to Article 106(2) TFEU, for the provisions to be framed in such a way as to ensure, on the one hand, that they are applied correctly and, on the other, that the undertakings entrusted with the operation of services of general interest can perform in full the specific tasks assigned to them;

Amendment 126 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 9 (9) A European banking union should therefore be set up, underpinned by a true single rulebook for financial services for the Single Market as a whole and composed of a single supervisory mechanism, and a
Amendment 149 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 11 (11) As the Euro area’s central bank
Amendment 161 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 12 (12)
Amendment 170 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 13 (13) Safety and soundness of large banks is essential to ensure the stability of the financial system. However, recent experience shows that smaller banks can also pose a threat to financial stability. Therefore, the ECB should be able to exercise supervisory tasks under the single supervisory mechanism, which should consist of the ECB and the competent national authorities, in relation to all banks of participating Member States.
Amendment 209 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 17 (17) Compliance with Union rules requiring credit institutions to hold certain levels of capital against risks inherent to the business of credit institutions, to limit the size of exposures to individual counterparties, to publicly disclose information on a credit institutions’ financial situation, to dispose of sufficient liquid assets to withstand situations of market stress, and to limit leverage is a prerequisite for credit institutions’ prudential soundness. The ECB should have the task, under the single supervisory mechanism, to ensure compliance with those rules and to set higher prudential requirements and apply additional measures to credit institutions in the cases specifically set out in Union acts.
Amendment 221 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 18 (18) Additional capital buffers, including a capital conservation buffer and a countercyclical capital buffer to ensure that credit institutions accumulate during periods of economic growth a sufficient capital base to absorb losses in stressed periods, are key prudential tools to ensure the availability of adequate loss absorbency. The ECB should have the task, under the single supervisory mechanism, to impose such buffers and ensure credit institutions comply with them.
Amendment 228 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 19 (19) The safety and soundness of a credit institution depend also on the allocation of adequate internal capital, having regard to the risks to which it may be exposed, and on the availability of appropriate internal organisation structures and corporate governance arrangements. The ECB should therefore have the task, under the single supervisory mechanism, to apply requirements ensuring that credit institutions have in place robust governance arrangements, processes and mechanisms, including strategies and processes for assessing and maintaining the adequacy of their internal capital. In case of deficiencies it should also have the task to impose appropriate measures including specific additional own funds requirements, specific publication requirements, and specific liquidity requirements.
Amendment 235 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 20 (20) Risks for the safety and soundness of a credit institution can arise both at the level of an individual credit institution and at the level of a banking group or of a financial conglomerate. Specific supervisory arrangements to mitigate these risks are important to ensure the safety and soundness of credit institutions. In addition to supervision of individual credit institutions, the ECB's tasks under the single supervisory mechanism should include supervision at the consolidated level, supplementary supervision, supervision of financial holding companies and supervision of mixed financial holding companies.
Amendment 237 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 21 (21) In order to preserve financial stability, the deterioration of an institution's financial and economic situation must be remedied before that institution reaches a point at which authorities have no other alternative than to resolve it. The ECB should have the task to carry out early intervention actions as defined in relevant Union law. It should however coordinate its early intervention action with the relevant resolution authorities. Pending the c

Amendment 279 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 28 (28) National supervisors have important and long-established expertise in the supervision of credit institutions within their territory and their economic, organisational and cultural specificities. They have established a large body of dedicated and highly qualified staff for these purposes.
Amendment 297 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 30 (30) In order to carry out its tasks, the ECB should have appropriate supervisory powers. Union law on the prudential supervision of credit institutions provides for certain powers to be conferred on competent authorities designated by the Member States for those purposes. To the extent that these powers fall within the scope of the supervisory tasks conferred on the ECB,
Amendment 304 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 31 (31) In order to carry out its tasks effectively, the ECB, acting under the terms of the single supervisory mechanism, or the competent national authority, should be able to require all necessary information, and to conduct investigations and on-site inspections. These powers should apply to supervised entities, persons involved in the activities of those entities and related third parties, third parties to whom those entities have outsourced operational functions or activities and persons otherwise closely and substantially related or connected to the activities of those entities, including the staff of a supervised entity who are not directly involved in its activities but who, due to their function within the entity, may hold important information on a specific matter and firms which have provided services to those entities. The ECB, acting under the terms of the single supervisory mechanism, or the competent national authority, should be able to require information by simple request under which the addressee is not obliged to provide the information but, in the event that it does so voluntarily, the information provided should not be incorrect or misleading and should be made available without delay. The ECB should also be able to require information by decision.

Amendment 92 #
Proposal for a recommendation Annex – recommendation 1 – paragraph 3 – point b Amendment 102 #
Proposal for a recommendation Annex – recommendation 2 – paragraph 5 5. The legislation should ensure that any consumer, that is to say any natural person who is acting for purposes other than his trade, business, craft or profession, legally resident in the Union has the right to open and use a basic bank account with a payment service provider operating in a Member State provided that the consumer does not already hold a basic bank account meeting the requirements of Union legislation as specified in these Recommendations in the territory of that Member State. The existence of other basic bank accounts in other Member States and States outside the Union should not prevent the opening of a basic bank account in such a case.
Amendment 110 #
Proposal for a recommendation Annex – recommendation 2 – paragraph 6 6. The legislation should ensure that it is not unduly burdensome for consumers to demonstrate that they do not already hold a basic bank account in the territory of the Member State concerned, and provide for a declaration by the consumer to that effect during the application process.
Amendment 117 #
Proposal for a recommendation Annex – recommendation 2 – paragraph 7 7. The right to access a basic bank account should apply irrespective of the consumer's nationality or place of residence in the Union. Criteria such as the level or regularity of income, employment, credit history, level of indebtedness, individual situation regarding bankruptcy or future activity of the account or information held by credit bureaus concerning an individual’s financial circumstances should not be taken into account for the opening a basic bank account. Access to a basic bank account should under no circumstances be made conditional on the purchase of other products or services, for instance insurance.
Amendment 157 #
Proposal for a recommendation Annex – recommendation 3 – paragraph 16 16.
Amendment 182 #
Proposal for a recommendation Annex – recommendation 3 – paragraph 17 – section D Member States may require further functionalities to be included to the basic bank account. Payment service providers should be permitted to, at their own initiative, enlarge the range of functionalities, such as a facility for savings or international money remittances to accounts outside the Union. Access to a basic bank account should not be made conditional on the purchase of such additional services.
Amendment 184 #
Proposal for a recommendation Annex – recommendation 4 – paragraph 18 18. The legislation should aim to make consumers aware about the possibility of opening a basic bank account. Accordingly, it should be accompanied by an ambitious communication strategy both at Union and Member State level and include duties for payment service providers to provide clear information to consumers, including in writing, and to actively provide information about the possibility of a basic bank account.
Amendment 203 #
Proposal for a recommendation Annex – recommendation 4 – paragraph 23 23. Member States should be required to ensure that providers provide national authorities with reliable information annually, at least on the number of basic bank accounts opened, the number of applications for basic bank accounts refused and the grounds for such refusals, the number of terminations of such accounts. Such information should be provided in an aggregated form.
Amendment 209 #
Proposal for a recommendation Annex – recommendation 5 – paragraph 26 26. Member States should be obliged to specify principles for sanctions to be imposed on providers for non-compliance with the basic bank account framework and for infringing obligations to provide information, which ensure that the sanctions constitute a deterrent, and competent authorities should be required and enabled to impose such sanctions
