Je pense aux artistes, aux cafetiers, aux restaurateurs, à toutes les personnes qui sont privées de revenus depuis plus d’un an. Je pense aux infirmières, aux aides-soignantes, aux travailleuses sociales, à toutes ces personnes qui sont à la fois surexposées au virus et sous-payées depuis trop longtemps. Je pense aux étudiants, aux sans-papiers, aux sans domicile, à toutes les personnes qui sont de plus en plus isolées et précarisées. Comment comprendre qu’en pleine pandémie et en dépit du bon sens, une majorité de ce Parlement se prépare à concéder de nouvelles opportunités de profits aux plus privilégiés ? Partout, le COVID creuse les inégalités, or ce Parlement ne trouve rien de mieux à faire que de soutenir une mesure qui ne fera que les amplifier. J’entends déjà mes collègues – et, Madame la Commissaire, je vous entends déjà aussi – rétorquer qu’il s’agit ici, bien au contraire, d’une mesure dont le but est d’améliorer le financement de l’économie réelle. Balivernes que tout cela ! Pensez-vous vraiment qu’affaiblir les règles déjà beaucoup trop « soft » encadrant la titrisation soit une avancée pour nos économies ? Je vous rappelle que cette technique – je dirais plutôt cet artifice, voire cet instrument de dissimulation et de déresponsabilisation – fut au cœur de la crise financière de 2007-2008. La vérité, c’est que le lobby de la finance profite de toutes les occasions, y compris de la crise sanitaire, pour capter plus de profit, et qu’il trouve au sein des institutions européennes bien trop d’oreilles complaisantes. Chers collègues, c’est sans trop d’espoir que je m’adresse à vous, conservateurs, libéraux, socialistes, pour revenir à un peu plus de bon sens et renoncer à cette étape supplémentaire de la dérégulation financière.

Maar toch wil ik pleiten voor voorzichtigheid, ook weer om twee redenen. Ten eerste was de synthetische securitisatie die met dit pakket makkelijker gemaakt wordt, één van de oorzaken – misschien wel dé oorzaak – van de implosie van het financieel systeem in 2008. Het tweede element waarvoor ik wil waarschuwen, is dat de zogenaamde niet-renderende leningen in de nabije toekomst uiteraard ook een probleem (of een groter probleem) zullen worden en dat het opruimen van die niet-renderende leningen op een zo marktconform mogelijke manier moet gebeuren.

We are living through a pandemic, a once-in-a-hundred-year catastrophe beyond human control. Hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens have lost their lives, and families and workers are bearing the brunt of the economic fallout. Yet, at this point in time, Commissioner McGuinness and the EU are asking us MEPs to loosen the rules on securitisation. The Left consider such proposals an affront that would allow vulture funds to swoop and prey. These proposals are detached from our current COVID reality and it is actually deeply disturbing that they are before us at this time. Securitisation was one of the causes of the last recession. It is a facilitator of tax avoidance and it adds to financial instability. No doubt, the vulture funds and banks pushed hard for these rules, but for my party and my group, that is all the more reason to place them in the bin.  Has the EU learnt nothing? When they need help the most, are family homes and small businesses to be handed up by the EU? I am not here to protect the banks or assist the vultures. As MEPs, we’re sent here to stand up for people and that is what you can do by voting down this dismal proposal. Support my amendment and say no to the Commission’s securitisation agenda.

Tisztelt Elnök Úr! Örömmel tölt el, hogy a Ház ma egy olyan, a pártok többségén átívelő egyetértéssel övezett javaslattal foglalkozik, amelynek tárgya az európai cégek, pénzintézetek, és végső soron az európai polgárok életének megkönnyítése. Megújítjuk az értékpapírosítás keretrendszerét, ami a jelen válsághelyzetben feltétlenül indokolt. Elsősorban azért van szükség a hitelek forgalomképes értékpapírrá alakításának megkönnyítésére és felgyorsítására, mert ezzel a hitelintézetek banki tőkét szabadíthatnak fel, és tovább hitelezhetik azt, és ez a kis- és középvállalkozások számára létfontosságú a jelenlegi válsághelyzetben. E technikai könnyítés révén felgyorsíthatjuk a gazdasági helyreállítás finanszírozását, azaz a reálgazdaság tőkeinjekció hoz jut.  Bárcsak minél többször lenne alkalmunk hasonló reakcióidővel konkrét, az Unió polgárait és cégeit szolgáló gyakorlati kérdésekkel foglalkoznunk a sehova sem vezető és megosztó érték- és ideológiai viták helyett! Kérem képviselőtársaimat, hogy szavazzák meg a tőkepiaci helyreállítási csomag újabb elemét, mert ezzel a kisvállalkozásokat és a polgárokat segítjük.

Senhor Presidente, Senhora Comissária, Caros Colegas, a união económica e monetária é uma das principais conquistas da integração europeia, mas ainda é uma realidade incompleta. Do lado da união bancária, ainda nos falta instituir o sistema europeu de seguro de depósitos e, do lado da união do mercado de capitais, falta-nos ainda mais, em campos que vão da fiscalidade à supervisão, passando pela insolvência. Se no primeiro caso falta realismo, no segundo falta pragmatismo.  Os mercados de capitais podem e devem ter um papel importante na recuperação económica da Europa. O défice de investimento que enfrentamos não será resolvido apenas com fundos europeus ou políticas orçamentais expansionistas. Precisamos de investimento privado para criar valor, gerar empregos, inovar no mercado, aumentar a competitividade das nossas empresas e aumentar o rendimento das famílias. As medidas que estamos a tomar por força da crise pandémica são circunstanciais, mas teremos de tomar decisões estruturais. Temos de aumentar o acesso de pequenas e médias empresas ao mercado de capitais, proteger os investidores individuais, melhorar a literacia financeira dos cidadãos, combater a fraude com melhor supervisão e proteger a concorrência com uma fiscalidade mais inteligente. A Europa precisa de mais investimento e nós estamos em condições de potenciar esse crescimento. Tenhamos a coragem de o fazer.

Poštovani predsjedavajući, gospođo povjerenice, teški ekonomski šok uzrokovan koronavirusom i iznimne mjere suzbijanja imali su naravno dalekosežni utjecaj na gospodarstvo.  Jedan od ključnih elemenata ekonomskog oporavka jest sposobnost banaka da nastave kreditirati poduzeća, posebno mala i srednja poduzeća. Fokus monetarnih mjera u ovakvim uvjetima trebao bi biti na održavanju povoljnih financijskih uvjeta radi očuvanja radnih mjesta i olakšavanja oporavka. Poduzetnici, pogotovo oni manji koji su još u  Što se tiče hrvatskih banaka, pokazuje izvješće, bilježe iznad prosječno više odobrenih moratorija malim i srednjim poduzećima, što pokazuje da je moratorij kao mjera bio primarno usmjeren na pomoć gospodarstvu. Naravno, uz to Vlada Republike Hrvatske dala je svoj doprinos s preko 10 milijardi kuna. Ovim instrumentom moramo zajamčiti mehanizme pomoći a mehanizme kontrole koji su se ovdje propitkivali sigurna sam imat ćemo i dalje i oni neće izostati.

Very clearly, I want to make some important messages in relation to the issues we are discussing this evening. We are not loosening the rules; we are maintaining sound prudential rules and investor protection. We are promoting good practices, with the extension of simple, transparent and standardised securitisation rules, and let me stress that this is completely different to the type of securitisations that exacerbated the last financial crisis, which have no place in our financial system. Taking no action in the face of rising non-performing loans (NPLs) risks, as you know, a credit crunch, and that would have serious economic and social consequences for all, including job losses and company failures. The capital markets recovery package in my view, and in the view of this House – we hope – in tomorrow’s vote, will make it easier for capital markets to support European businesses to recover from the crisis.  This package will also be a positive signal to financial markets in general and to SMEs and banks in particular. It shows that the European Union can adapt quickly to evolving circumstances to support the real economy. The proposed measures are more important now than ever, and I hope that they will be supported by this House and I thank you for your attention.

Die neuen Verbriefungsregeln stärken einen wichtigen Baustein der Kapitalmarktunion. Was einst Gift war, wird zu einer Medizin gegen den wirtschaftlichen Einbruch nach Corona. Richtig dosiert können Verbriefungen den Wiederaufbau beschleunigen. Sie schaffen neue Investitionsmöglichkeiten und geben Banken mehr Spielraum für die Vergabe von frischen Krediten an Haushalte und KMU. Ich bin froh, dass das Europäische Parlament zahlreiche Verbesserungen im Regelwerk durchsetzen konnte. Wir haben risikosensitivere Kapitalanforderungen für notleidende und sogenannte STS‑On‑Balance‑Sheet‑Verbriefungen durchgesetzt. Wir haben die Transparenz erhöht. Wir haben den Grundstein für ein nachhaltiges Verbriefungslabel als Antwort auf die Klimaherausforderungen gelegt. Und wir haben die Handhabe gegenüber potentieller Steuervermeidung in Steueroasen verbessert.

Speaker: Johannes Hahn
Language: EN

The 2022 budget will be the second one of the new multiannual financial framework (MFF) adopted just a few months ago. Like the 2021 budget, the 2022 budget will be reflecting the impact of the crisis under which it is forged. By then, hopefully the health crisis will be mostly resolved, so the economic and social recovery will be the main priority for next year’s budget.  I’m happy that we share this priority with Parliament and I am confident that we can build on this common ground. Delivering the green and digital transitions will also remain key priorities. If anything, the crisis has shown that we have no time to lose. It gives us the opportunity to make the economy and social recovery greener and smarter.  Above all, the 2022 budget will be based on the recent MFF agreement. The new programmes will finally enter into force in the coming months and, under next year’s budget, can be implemented fully. The Commission’s proposal for the 2022 budget will be based on the MFF agreement as presented in detail in the technical update of the financial programming in early February, with possible deviations in case of updated or new legislative proposals.  I’m confident that we will receive from every institution reasonable and timely contributions that will guarantee proper preparation of the draft. Delayed MFF agreement has a knock-on effect on the implementation of the new programmes. It is, therefore, of utmost importance that we adopt this budget in due time to allow for stability and certainty for the implementation. We need financial stability in order to ensure the swift implementation of the programmes.  The 2022 budget will also need to ensure sufficient payments for the budget in general and more, in particular, for the continuing high execution of the structural funds. As usual, we will inform the budgetary authority during the year on the implementation during the interinstitutional meetings on payments.  Finally, let me assure you that the Commission will fully respect the commitments it has undertaken to inform the two arms of the budgetary authority on relevant developments, including the implementation of the Next Generation EU contribution to programmes and to the Recovery and Resilience Facility.

That is why in the coming years the Union budget should have a strong social dimension, boosting sustainable growth, cohesion and upward social convergence and promoting economic and social governance. In the EMPL Committee’s view, the budget will need to – and should – also safeguard existing jobs and working conditions, and also create new, high-quality jobs while effectively and also inclusively combating poverty, including child poverty, social exclusion and also inequalities. The EU budget must contribute to a well-functioning and inclusive labour market and guarantee sufficient investments in the S&D flagship initiatives, such as the Child and Youth Guarantee and the active implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights.  The budget needs to improve the life prospects of our citizens and our workers, and it needs to address the social and employment-related challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as supporting our workers, businesses and the move towards a more solidarity-based digital, greener and climate-neutral economy.

Oberste Priorität muss natürlich die Schaffung und Sicherung von Arbeitsplätzen sein. Dies kann nur durch Investitionen in Forschung und Entwicklung erfolgen, und die zusätzlichen 4 Milliarden Euro für  Aus Sicht des Ausschusses für Industrie, Forschung und Energie werden wir natürlich auch alles daransetzen, dass die im mehrjährigen Finanzrahmen vereinbarten Mittel auch in den jährlichen Programmen den vollen Niederschlag finden – denn nur mit intelligenten Investitionen wird uns der Wiederaufbau gelingen. Das heißt im Klartext: Arbeitsplätze und Lebensqualität für unsere Bürgerinnen und Bürger.

In tempi che non si preannunciano facili è necessario continuare a mantenere alto il livello di investimenti nell'agricoltura europea perché, se per alcuni settori l'effetto pandemia è già in parte superato, per altri continuerà purtroppo per molti mesi ancora. Ecco perché il capitolo agricoltura nel bilancio europeo rimane assolutamente cruciale; la PAC, in particolare, dovrà continuare a svolgere la sua funzione di sostegno al reddito degli agricoltori, senza i quali – è utile ricordarlo ancora una volta – non potremmo avere cibo di qualità sulle nostre tavole. E allora dovranno essere assicurati dei fondi sufficienti per aiutare le nostre aziende agricole anche verso la transizione verde, diventata il fulcro di tutte le politiche europee. Tutto questo ha un costo in termini di innovazione e di ricerca e il bilancio europeo dovrà essere adeguatamente e sufficientemente rinforzato per rispondere a questa priorità.

Ich begrüße, dass in den allgemeinen Leitlinien des Haushaltsplans 2022 der Ernst der Lage für diesen Sektor erkannt wird, denn noch immer gibt es kein Licht im Tunnel für die Betroffenen. Theater und Konzerte und andere kulturelle Aktivitäten sind weiterhin in den Mitgliedstaaten untersagt. Künstlerinnen und Künstler, Musikerinnen, Soloselbstständige sehen ihre Existenz bedroht. Sie haben seit nunmehr einem Jahr keine Einkommen mehr. Langfristig ist diese Entwicklung für unser kulturelles Ökosystem schlichtweg eine Katastrophe. Der Sektor braucht daher von allen Ebenen Unterstützung. Auf europäischer Ebene braucht es mehr Geld für das Programm „Kreatives Europa“, aber auch gerade aufseiten der Mitgliedstaaten muss es ein klares Commitment geben.  Sie müssen den Kultur- und Kreativbereich im Auge behalten und diesem Sektor 2 % des Gesamtbudgets für den Wiederaufbau widmen. Dabei darf der Zugang zu den Hilfsgeldern nicht durch bürokratische Hürden erschwert werden.

Po drugie, to również drugi rok funkcjonowania Funduszu Odbudowy, a to też ważne. I tu chciałem przypomnieć, że w czasie negocjacji między Parlamentem i Radą z aktywnym udziałem Komisji mówiliśmy o tym, że część z tego, co będzie wpływało jako kary, zostanie wykorzystane na główne polityki Unii Europejskiej. To właśnie w roku 2022 ten mechanizm ma zacząć działać. Chciałem o tym przypomnieć, bo rzeczywiście dla Parlamentu to będzie niezwykle ważne, żebyśmy rok 2022 pokazali jako ten przykładowy rok, w którym wprowadzamy nowy mechanizm – wykorzystanie dodatkowych źródeł środków finansowych, które wpływają z zewnątrz jako kary. A więc: skuteczność wydawania, umiejętność przewidywania wydatków i wykorzystanie dodatkowych środków, jakimi są kary.

Europe is at the crossroads: 2022 will be either a year of beating the pandemic or another one of living with its wounds. We have to be prepared for both scenarios because only a prepared Europe is a respected Europe. This year, we launched the rescue plan and the Member States are working on their national recovery plans. Lots of money will be available for the recovery and we have to build trust that money will be spent correctly. We have to build trust that the Union can monitor how that money is spent.  That is why it’s important to strengthen the rule of law in 2022, to strengthen the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO). The budget of the Union reminds us of what unites us, and that is values. The rule-of-law mechanism and a functional EPPO will show our commitment to these principles, to these values. This will show that we want money from the EU budget and the Next Generation EU to improve European lives and not end up in the pockets of some corrupt politician somewhere. It is an illusion to think, however, that we will prevail against the pandemic only by building and investing in the economy. Germs do not take that into account. This is why we need a real and strong union of health. We need to invest in medical reserves in prevention, in fighting cancer.  The pandemic has also shown us the ugly face of national borders. This is why we need Schengen: there is no real Union with border controls, with people, with cars, with trucks waiting in line, with various paperwork requests from one country to the other. Therefore we invite the Council to enlarge and strengthen the Schengen area. This would help the ‘have nots’ relaunch their economies, but it would also benefit the ‘haves’ and the entire economy as a whole.  Commissioner, let’s step up to the challenge, but as the saying goes, you don’t get to pick what bad things happen to you. Let’s be prepared for any type of things that come our way.
