Amendment 718 #
Motion for a resolution
Annex – part 1 – point 1.3
Recommendation 1.3 relating to a European recovery and resolution scheme The European Parliament considers that the legislative act to be adopted should aim to regulate as follows: The legislative act to be adopted should update and supplement the current proposal for a directive establishing a framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms in order to create a European scheme for the application of resolution measures to institutions subject to direct supervision under the single supervisory mechanism. A body at European level should be established or designated to exercise the required resolution tools in respect of those institutions (ERRA). This body should enjoy a wide independence. Its head should be appointed after confirmation by the European Parliament. In order to ensure adequate resources are available for resolution actions to be taken, a fund should be created aimed at preserving stability and limiting contagion from failing banks. The fund should be pan-European, funded ex-ante by the institutions concerned, and separate from deposit- guarantee schemes. The resolution scheme should have a strong financial structure built on contributions from industry with public money only serving as an ultimate backstop. However, Member States should have an obligation to ensure that the fund is of an adequate size. That obligation should be a collective one in the case of Member States whose currency is the euro. A vehicle should be established or designated to provide reassurance that that collective obligation will be met and if required that vehicle needs to be able to intervene directly in institutions under recovery or resolution. That vehicle could be the ESM. The proposal should also accord with other aspects of the European Parliament's resolution of 7 July 2010 with recommendations to the Commission on Cross-Border Crisis Management in the Banking Sector, such as harmonisation of insolvency laws and common risk assessments.deleted
