Creation of a supervisory body to oversee the activities of credit rating agencies in EU Member States

30.3.2011

Question for written answer E-003439/2011
to the Commission
Rule 117
Takis Hadjigeorgiou (GUE/NGL)

I ask the Commission why it has delayed the creation of a supervisory body

1. that will oversee and assess the activities of the various credit rating agencies operating in the European Union;

2. that will impose fines when their activities are unwarranted, misleading, speculative or erroneous?
