11 amendments...
Amendment 1 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 1. Recalls that the European Parliament was a key driver in the establishment of the ESMA 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 8 8. Concludes that the current financing arrangements of ESMA pose a threat to its independence
Amendment 11 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 8 8. Concludes, for precisely that reason, that the current financing arrangements of ESMA may pose a threat to its independence and therefore calls on the Commission to
Amendment 2 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 2. Believes that the Authority's role in promoting stable and safe financial markets, in the stability of the European financial system and in bringing about secure operation of the European equities market is essential for the economic recovery and the creation of sustainable jobs and growth in Europe;
Amendment 3 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 4 4. Welcomes that as on September 2013 three corrective actions were finalised following the comments of the Court of Auditors in 2011 and recalls that this process must be fully completed including the suggested cancellation of carry-overs and also including transparency of selection procedures and including inadequacies of budgetary planning;
Amendment 4 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 5. Notes that corrective actions as regards budgetary planning and implementation, the management of fixed assets and the transparency of recruitment processes are still ongoing
Amendment 5 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 a (new) 5a. Calls on the Authority to indicate the average cost of in-house translations per page for 2012, as well as the change since the previous year;
Amendment 6 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 7 7. Stresses that the additional tasks entrusted to ESMA as well as future tasks envisaged in the legislative 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 7 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 7 a (new) 7a. 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 8 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 7 b (new) 7b. Considers that the current financing of ESMA, 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;
Amendment 9 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 7 a (new) 7a. 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;
