Funding of national Deposit Guarantee Schemes in the EU – State of Play
The Deposit Guarantee Schemes Directive harmonises a minimum requirement for the funding of Deposit Guarantee Schemes through available financial means, a reserve paid in ex-ante. The Deposit Guarantee Schemes must observe the harmonised minimum target levels as of July 2024. The latest EBA data shows progress in that direction at most Deposit Guarantee Schemes. Three considerations should in particular be borne in mind when assessing the level of funding through available financial means: First ...

Revision of the Fourth Anti-Money-Laundering Directive
Directive (EU) 2015/849, which forms part of the EU regulatory framework to combat financial crime, has shown gaps in the light of recent terrorist attacks and various tax leaks. In this context, the European Commission proposed to amend the directive, along with Directive 2009/101/EC, to broaden their scope, lower thresholds benefiting from exemptions and provide for the creation of automated centralised mechanisms (e.g. central electronic data retrieval systems). The European Parliament and Council ...
Révision de la directive sur la lutte contre le blanchiment de capitaux
Le cadre réglementaire actuel de l’Union en matière de criminalité financière, qui se compose de la directive (UE) 2015/849 et du règlement (UE) 2015/847, fait face à un défi: suivre le rythme de l’innovation technologique dans le domaine des services financiers, qui peut engendrer de nouvelles possibilités de dissimuler le financement, ainsi que des possibilités d’exploitation par les criminels des failles du système. À la suite de l’approbation en commission en janvier, le rapport doit être voté ...

The most direct bank-sovereign linkages are national deposit insurance and concentrated domestic sovereign exposures.

Fiscalité directe: l’imposition des personnes et des sociétés
Le domaine de la fiscalité directe n’est pas directement réglementé par la législation européenne. Néanmoins, plusieurs directives ainsi que la jurisprudence de la Cour de justice établissent des normes harmonisées pour l’imposition des sociétés des personnes. En outre, certaines communications soulèvent la question de la prévention de l’évasion fiscale et de l’élimination de la double imposition. Les rescrits fiscaux («tax rulings») dont bénéficient les grandes entreprises dans certains États membres ...
Union bancaire
L’union bancaire a été créée en réaction à la crise financière et comporte actuellement deux éléments: le mécanisme de surveillance unique (MSU) et le mécanisme de résolution unique (MRU). Le MSU surveille les banques les plus grandes et les plus importantes de la zone euro directement au niveau européen, tandis que l’objectif du MRU est de résoudre les défaillances des banques en difficulté de façon ordonnée et à un coût minimal pour les contribuables et pour l’économie réelle. Un troisième élément ...
