12 amendments...
Amendment 1 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 1. Recalls that the European Parliament was a key driver in the establishment of the EBA and that the European Supervisory Authorities (ESA's) are still in a setting-up phase; considers, therefore, that better coordination and supervision of these authorities are needed at European level;
Amendment 10 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 6 a (new) 6a. Points out that in the opinion delivered by the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs on the discharge for 2011 the Authority was asked to refrain from encumbering Member States with additional bureaucracy or creating new bureaucratic tasks for itself and to prevent any spread of bureaucracy; calls on the Authority, therefore, to ascertain, and to inform Parliament, whether those requests have been acted upon;
Amendment 11 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 7 7. Concludes, for precisely that reason, that the current financing arrangements of EBA may pose a threat to its independence and therefore calls on the Commission to
Amendment 12 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 7 7. Concludes that the current financing arrangements of EBA pose a threat to its independence
Amendment 2 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 2. Underlines that the Authority's role in promoting the safety and soundness of banking institutions, in the prudential regulation of the European banking sector and in ensuring the effectiveness of European supervision is essential for the economic recovery and the creation of sustainable jobs and growth in Europe;
Amendment 3 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 2. Underlines that the Authority’s role in promoting the safety and soundness of banking institutions – and hence of the economic system as a whole – is essential for the economic recovery and the creation of sustainable jobs and growth in Europe;
Amendment 4 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 4 4. Welcomes that as on September 2013 three corrective actions were completed following the comments of the Court of Auditors in 2011 and recalls that this process must be fully satisfied, including the transparency of selection procedures, outsourcing of the IT system to an external firm, and the excessive nature of the associated expenditure, as well as the problem of low budget utilisation;
Amendment 5 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 4 a (new) 4a. Points out that in the opinion delivered by the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs on the discharge for 2011 the Authority was asked to ensure that office rentals and expenditure did not exceed normal local market prices and also to seek to reduce costs year on year as market conditions improved; calls on the Authority, therefore, to ascertain, and to inform Parliament, whether those requests have been acted upon;
Amendment 6 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 a (new) 5a. Calls on the Authority to state the average cost per page of in-house translation for the year 2012, specifying the change compared with the preceding year;
Amendment 7 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 6 6. Stresses that the additional tasks entrusted to EBA as well as future tasks envisaged in the proposals yet to be agreed will require budgetary increases and new human resources in order to fulfil their supervisory role in a satisfactory manner; considers this to be extremely important, as the tasks of the supervisory authorities are changing in these very years, so that in the years ahead they are likely to increase most;
Amendment 8 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 6 a (new) 6a. Notes furthermore that the introduction of the new human resources mentioned in the text – if rendered necessary by the accumulation of duties – is acceptable, although it might be more rational first to regroup the duties, or to complete increases in efficiency, before we increase the staff establishment by specific numbers;
Amendment 9 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 6 b (new) 6b. Considers that the current financing of EBA, which is based on a mixed financing system, is inflexible and creates administrative burdens, and that therefore, in order to improve efficiency and independence, the Authority’s current financing should be reviewed, so that after a certain period the budget of the European supervisory authorities is entirely funded from the European Union budget;

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 1. Notes with concern that in order to cover higher school fees, the Authority grants staff whose children attend primary or secondary school a top-up allowance, which amounted to some EUR 76 000 in 2012, in addition to the education allowances provided for in the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Communities (‘the Staff Regulations’);notes that these allowances are not covered by the Staff Regulations and are, therefore, rightly considered irregular by the Court of Auditors; acknowledges, however, that this situation is due to the lack of European Schools in the city the Authority is based in and that the purpose of these top-ups is to ensure equal treatment of the Authority’s employees under the Staff Regulations
