ブルームバーグ：ECB（欧州中央銀行）銀行監督委員会ラウテンシュレーガー副委員長、英国金融業者が引き続きEU（欧州連合）で営業するには域内に事業拠点を置く必要があると主張

“I do not see the ECB issuing banking licenses to empty shell companies,” she said in a speech at the London School of Economics.

“I would certainly not accept banks’ booking all exposures with the euro area entity while having their risk management and internal control systems outside the euro area.”

The remarks give further insight in the ECB’s thinking about how to cope with regulation when Britain leaves the European Union.

Lautenschlaeger said the U.K. banks would lose so-called passporting rights in the case of hard Brexit, in which Britain withdraws from the single market for goods and services as well as the political elements of the EU.

When asked what would constitute a shell company, Lautenschlaeger said that it would be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Lautenschlager said she wouldn’t accept a “race to the bottom” in supervision and regulation after Brexit, echoing remarks last month by Bundesbank Executive Board member Andreas Dombret.

“Securing continuous market access will be the most pressing issue for U.K. banks -– there’s no doubt about that,” Lautenschlaeger said.
