Amendment 149 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 21 a (new)
(21 a) Several studies suggest that separation of certain activities will increase the costs for financial intermediaries, and effectively raise the cost of capital for businesses and households. The current Union law already greatly reduces systematic risk and curtails excessive risk taking by financial intermediaries. Therefore, to avoid adding unnecessary burden on banks and economy as a whole, separation of certain trading activities should only take place after a thorough risk assessment.

Amendment 153 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 22
(22) Other than proprietary trading, large credit institutions engage in numerous other trading activities, such as market making, issuance, investment and sponsorship activity linked to risky securitisation, or the structuring, arranging, or execution of complex derivative transactions. These trading activities are often related to client activity but may nevertheless give rise to concerns. Considering, however, the potentially useful nature of these activities they should not be subject to a direct prohibition. Instead, such activities should remain subject to an ex post thorough risk assessment by the competent authority and, potentially, to a requirement to be separated from the rest of the groups’ activities.
