This section covers the debate on the role, powers and functions of the three sets of "Committees". Their regulatory actions are covered in the appropriate industry sections. But they may soon be turned into Authorites with greater powers. The Lamfalussy Process set out a  four-level approach to European regulation: essential principles, implementing measures, co-operation and enforcement. It is aimed at establishing faster and more flexible decision-making for legislation, and  ensuring uniform application in Member States:
  • Level 1: Framework principles to be decided by normal legislative procedures (i.e. proposal by the Commission to the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament for co-decision. 
  • Level 2: Implementing details to be defined, proposed and decided by the Commission with the assistance of a senior Committee of representatives of Member States. For securities and UCITS: European Securities Committee – based on technical advice received from the national regulators (ESMA). For banking, the advice is given by EBA and for insurance/pensions by EIOPA.
  • Level 3: These European Supervisory Authorities - ESMA/EBA/EIOPA - work in a network to ensure consistent implementation of Level 1 and 2 acts in the Member States. 
  • Level 4: the Commission enforces Community law.
