Recital 1
(1)1. In the aftermath of the world financial crisis that unfolded in 2007-2008 the Union implemented a substantial reform of the financial services regulatory framework to enhance the resilience of its financial institutions. That reform was largely based on internationally agreed standards. Among its many measures, the reform package included the adoption of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council16 and Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council17, which strengthened the prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms. _________________ 16 Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms and amending Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 (OJ L 176, 27.6.2013, p. 1). 17 Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on access to the activity of credit institutions and the prudential supervision of credit institutions and investment firms, amending Directive 2002/87/EC and repealing Directives 2006/48/EC and 2006/49/EC (OJ L 176, 27.6.2013, p. 338).

(2) While the reform has2. It has been shown that ‘ambitious’ reform and austerity have failed to rendered the financial system more stable and resilient against many types of possible future shocks and crises, it did not address all identified problems. An important reason for that was that international standard setters, such as the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (Basel Committee) and the Financial Stability Board (FSB), had not finished their work on internationally agreed solutions to tackle those problems at the time. Now that work on important additional reforms has been completed, the outstanding problems should be addressed. On the contrary, they have caused massive unemployment in southern European countries such as Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain, with thousands of shops and businesses closing down and hundreds of young people choosing to emigrate.

(4)4. Risk reduction measures should not only further strengthen the resilience of the European banking system and the markets’ confidence in it, but also provide the basis for further progress in completing the Banking Union. Those measures should also be considered against the background of broader challenges affecting the Union economy, especially the need to promote growth and jobs at times of uncertain economic outlook. In that context, various major policy initiatives, such as the Investment Plan for Europe and the Capital Markets Union, have been launched in order to strengthen the economy of the Union. It is therefore important that all risk reduction measures interact smoothly with those policy initiatives as well as with broader recent reforms in the financial sectorHowever, the precondition for implementing any such measures is consultation of the public and of producers in the country concerned.

Recital 49
(49) Respondents to the Commission’s Call for Evidence on the EU regulatory framework for financial services regarded current disclosure requirements as disproportionate and burdensome for smaller institutions. Without prejudice to aligning disclosures more closely with international standards, smaller and less complex institutions should normally be required to produce less frequent and detailed disclosures than their larger peers, thus reducing the administrative burden to which they are subject.

(52) Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are one of the pillarsthe backbone of the Union’s economy as they play a fundamental role in creating economic growth and providing employment. Given the fact that SMEs carry a lower systematic risk than larger corporates, capital requirements for SME exposures should be lower than those for large corporates to ensure an optimal bank financing of SMEs. Currently, SME exposures of up to EUR 1,5 million are subject to a 23,81% reduction in risk weighted exposure amount. Given that the threshold of EUR 1,5 millionFor this reason, it is necessary for capital requirements for an SME exposure is not indicative of a change in riskiness of an SME, reduction in capital requirements should be extended to SME exposures beyond the threshold of EUR 1,5 million and for the exceeding part should amount to a 15% reduction of a risk-weighted exposure amounts to be more than EUR 1,5 million.
