Tooambitious • Serious problems Great unease Critics Far too fast Far from clear
Critics R e a l a r g u m e n t s Sovereignty Global dimension Stop! Exclusion and Dominance Treasury
Critics R e a l a r g u m e n t s Sovereignty of MS: • Host states allowed to take steps if weaknesses are identified - that can be abused for commercial or protectionist reasons • ESAs empowered to overridenational regulators • Changes give EU more powers. Emergencydeclared by the Commission without involvement of the Council. Unclear emergency procedure. • MS should decide first what will ESAs do and how
Critics R e a l a r g u m e n t s Global cohesion: • Not clear how global cohesion is addressed • Need for allignment with G-20 and Basel. • It would be very bad for EU and its financial centres If we forge ahead disregarding what US, Switzerlandand others are doing
Critics R e a l a r g u m e n t s Fiscal responsibilities of MS: • June’s ECOFIN mandate (shoulnd’t impinge on the fiscal responsibility of the MS) breached • EU financial supervisory structure needs an EU fiscal arrangement
Critics R e a l a r g u m e n t s Exclusion and Dominance • Any compromise would need to assure that host states receive all prudential information about entire group. • Eurozone dominance in ESRB • Bankers dominance in ESRB, disregarding the fact that the choice between security and price is a democratic trade-off decision taken by governments, for the citizens. • QMV to recognize the size and importance of financial services relative to GDP
