Barnier welcomes the outcome of the trialogue to beef up oversight on financial institutions in Europe


Default: Change to:


Die Aufsicht werde künftig eine europäische Dimension haben, erklärte EU-Binnenmarktkommissar Michel Barnier. "Dieses neue Rahmenwerk ist entscheidend, um die Finanzstabilität zu sichern und eine künftige Krise zu verhindern." Die Abgeordneten werden voraussichtlich über den endgültigen Text während der Plenartagung im September abstimmen.


Commissioner Barnier said that “thanks to the progress made today, financial supervision is moving to a different level: it has taken on a European dimension. Financial companies and markets operate mostly at the European level, and we will now have 4 solid authorities to monitor macroeconomic financial risks and to supervise financial markets, banks, and insurance companies. These authorities will be able to benefit from the on-the-ground expertise of national regulators and supervisors and propose any necessary measures at a European level. The 4 new authorities will be operational on 1st January 2011. It was essential to find a consensus to meet the deadlines and the ambitious commitments to reform the financial sector made in the G20 context. “
