Open Surveys on the Review of the European Supervisory Authorities

Mazars is conducting three online surveys regarding the review of the European Supervisory Authorities (EBA, ESMA and EIOPA, respectively) with a view to gain input from stakeholders and the interested public on the set-up and activities of these authorities. The feedback will provide input for a study on the ESAs which Mazars carries out for the European Parliament's Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee. Given the forthcoming review of the European System of Financial Supervision (ESFS), the surveys will feed into a comprehensive background for Members regarding possible changes to the ESFS set-up.
All interested stakeholders, including academics and informed individuals, are invited to complete one or more of Mazars' surveys (see links below) by Friday 21 June 2013.
All responses to the questionnaire will be received and analysed by Mazars (see Mazars' statement of confidentiality in the attached letter).
 
Please do not send any material to the European Parliament or its services.

Taxpayers and savers last in line to save banks
ECON 21-05-2013 - 13:02  

Taxpayers and savers must be the last people called upon to bail out banks, says Parliament's negotiating position, approved by the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee on Monday, on draft rules on saving struggling banks. The text rules out using deposits below €100,000 and says that even deposits above €100,000 should be the last to be called in. The committee voted against using deposit guarantee funds for resolution actions and also set out strict conditions for using taxpayer's money.

MEPs dissect Cyprus bailout with Messrs Rehn and Asmussen
ECON 08-05-2013 - 13:14  

The confusion and delay that surrounded decisions on the Cyprus assistance plan were not only due to Cypriot intransigence. Rather, they reveal a need to radically rethink Eurogroup and Troika working methods, argued Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee MEPs in Wednesday's debate with Commissioner Olli Rehn and ECB Executive Board member Jorg Asmussen.

ECON 25-04-2013 - 15:52  

The European Commission's austerity focus was widely lambasted by centre-left MEPs at an Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee meeting with Commissioner Olli Rehn on Thursday, only a week after he last came in for strong criticism in Parliament's plenary chamber.

Sharon Bowles, Chair of ECON Committee@European Parliament  
 

Europa-Parlamentet er i høj grad med til at sætte dagsordenen for den europæiske politik, og Økonomi- og Valutaudvalget (ECON) spiller en central rolle i Parlamentets arbejde. Det har ansvaret for områder som EU's økonomiske og monetære politik, skatte- og konkurrencepolitikken, kapitalens frie bevægelighed og reguleringen af finansielle tjenesteydelser (banker, forsikringer, pensionsfonde, formue- og fondsforvaltning, regnskabsføring, internationale og finansielle systemer m.v.). Da størstedelen af Parlamentets arbejde udføres på udvalgsplan, er det således ECON, som udfører det meste af Parlamentets arbejde inden for disse centrale områder af den økonomiske og monetære politik. Det giver ECON en central plads i Parlamentets arbejde omkring den nuværende økonomiske og finansielle krise og giver ECON betydelig indflydelse på den politiske dagsorden i EU og på internationalt plan.
 
Hvad angår EU's monetære politik og ØMU'ens funktion samt det europæiske monetære system, spiller ECB's ansvarlighed over for Parlamentet en vigtig rolle, da den fungerer som en vigtig modvægt til centralbankens uafhængighed.
 
ECON spiller en central rolle i udformningen af EU-lovgivningen, fordi Parlamentet er Rådets medlovgiver inden for de fleste af EU's ansvarsområder. EU-lovgivningen har ofte indflydelse på de nationale love og bestemmelser i medlemsstaterne, navnlig inden for de finansielle tjenesteydelser, og efter Lissabontraktatens ikrafttræden også inden for EU's økonomiske styring. Dette giver ECON-medlemmerne mulighed for at sætte sit aftryk på EU-lovgivningen inden for disse vigtige politiske områder.
