Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 15
15. Notes that during 2018, the expected withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the Union had a significant impact on the Authority’s planned work and deliverables, and generated a lot of preparatory work, particularly in the areas of supervisory convergence, prevention of fragmentation and regulatory arbitrage and direct supervision and risk assessment; notes that the Authority analysed in detail what operational impact the expected withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the Union would have on its organisation, and that it has allocated dedicated staff to provide advice on and regularly report on those issues;

Amendment 18 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 15 a (new)
15 a. Acknowledges that in the aftermath of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom, sufficient resources and instruments will be needed to protect the adequacy and unity of the financial regulatory framework of the Union; notes that this task would require a degree of hierarchy over National Competent Authorities (NCAs) that is currently lacking, since the Board of Supervisors is NCA-dominated and is dependent on NCAs in taking actions; stresses that the new multi-annual framework and the withdrawal of the United Kingdom offer a chance to reassess the funding and the administrative design of the Agency.
