Amendment 52 #
Matt CARTHY, Martin SCHIRDEWAN, Miguel VIEGAS
Proposal for a directive
Recital 9
(9) Own funds add-ons imposed by competent authorities should be set in relation to the specific situation of an institution and should be duly justified. These requirements should not be used to address macroprudential risks and should be positioned, in the stacking order of own funds requirements, above the minimum own funds requirements and below the combined buffer requirement.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 9 a (new)
(9a) Well-capitalised institutions support economic growth rather than hamper it. Significant risk reduction can only be achieved when institutions are not able to pose systemic threats to the economies of the Union or the Member States and when orderly failure is possible without the socialisation of losses. It is therefore appropriate to increase capital buffers for institutions that are classified as O-SIIs and G-SIIs so that possible losses which may occur can be absorbed by the owners of such institutions.

(30 b) In Article 131, paragraph 9 is replaced by the following: "9. There shall be at least five subcategories of G-SIIs. The lowest boundary and the boundaries between each subcategory shall be determined by the scores under the identification methodology.

For the purposes of this paragraph, systemic significance is the expected impact exerted by the G-SII's distress on the global financial market. The lowest sub-category shall be assigned a G- SII buffer of 12 % of the total risk exposure amount calculated in accordance with Article 92(3) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 and the buffer assigned to each sub-category shall increase in gradients of 0,51 % of the total risk exposure amount calculated in accordance with Article 92(3) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 up to and including the fourth sub-category. The highest sub-category of the G-SII buffer shall be subject to a buffer of 3,58 % of the total risk exposure amount calculated in accordance with Article 92(3) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013. "

Prior to adopting a decision in accordance with this paragraph, the competent authority shall consult EBA. The competent authority shall notify its decision to EBA. EBA shall publish a list of those institutions to which this paragraph has been applied. 4.
