The European Parliament decided by 545 votes to 72,
with 51 abstentions, to raise no objections to the Commission
delegated regulation of 8 October 2014 on the provisional system of
instalments on contributions to cover the administrative
expenditures of the Single Resolution Board during the provisional
period.
Regulation (EU) No 806/2014
(the SRM Regulation) provides for the
establishment of the Single Resolution Board (SRB) as of 19 August
2014 in the form of a European Union agency. The SRM Regulation
requires the Board to be fully operational as of 1 January
2015.
The SRM Regulation empowers the Commission to adopt
delegated acts on contributions in order to determine the type and
the calculation of contributions, and in particular the annual
contributions necessary to cover the administrative expenditure of
the Board before it becomes fully operational.
Therefore, the Commission adopted on 8 October 2014,
in line with the aforementioned empowerment, the Commission
delegated regulation on the provisional system of instalments on
contributions to cover the administrative expenditures of the
Single Resolution Board during the provisional period. The scrutiny
period has been set at three months from the date of notification,
i.e. until 8 January 2015, and may be extended by a further three
months.
Parliament considered that in order for the Board to
be functioning smoothly by 1 January 2015, the latter will need to
have its funding arrangements in place as soon as possible, and in
any event before 1 January 2015, thus allowing it to cover the
first administrative expenditures (staff remuneration,
infrastructure, administrative and operational expenses) from own
resources.
Therefore, Parliament declared that it has no
objections to the delegated regulation.
