Debate: Amending Directive //EU as regards supervisory powers, sanctions, third-country branches, and environmental, social and governance risks - Amending Regulation  No  as regards requirements for credit risk, credit valuation adjustment risk, operational risk, market risk and the output floor

That being said, basically, for Basel III is that banks should have sufficient capacity to absorb shocks and continue lending. It is therefore of the greatest interest of the EU and its banking sector to be fully compliant with Basel III. The European Banking Authority has estimated the impact of the watered down CRR text that we will vote later on, and that is substantially below pure Basel standards.  Unfortunately, the deviations from Basel III leave significant risk uncovered and on an international level, the EU might end up as the sole large jurisdiction with a watered down Basel implementation. That will not only negatively affect the reputation and the credibility of both EU banks and supervisors, but will also lead to higher financial stability risks for the entire EU economy, higher funding costs for the banks and a weakened influence in global standard setting bodies.

Pour lutter contre les collusions entre les dirigeants des grandes banques et la haute fonction publique, limiter les effets de levier des banques et veiller à ce qu’elles ne créent pas des bulles spéculatives, comme on l’a vu en 2008, il faut remettre notre économie au service des hommes et des territoires – réellement, concrètement, sérieusement et vite.

Herr Präsident, Frau Kommissarin, liebe Kolleginnen, liebe Kollegen! Eine Bankenunion, die sich bei der ersten Säule, nämlich bei der Frage der zentralen Aufsicht, auf 120 Banken abstützt, die sich bei der zweiten Säule, nämlich dem einheitlichen Abwicklungsmechanismus, auf ein paar hundert Banken abstützt und sich gleichzeitig bei einer Einlagensicherung auf alle 8 000 Banken abstützen soll, die steht schief. Da gibt es noch einiges zum Nachdenken und zum Überdenken, und ich hoffe, dass wir das in Ruhe und Gelassenheit in der nächsten Wahlperiode tun können.  Lassen Sie mich aber auch ein paar Sätze zu dem sagen, worüber wir heute noch abstimmen werden, nämlich zur Finalisierung der Baseler Regeln. Ich bin doch etwas überrascht, dass etwas, was 2017 im Wesentlichen auf Wunsch der Amerikaner verabschiedet wurde und eher auf das amerikanische Banken- und Finanzmodell passt als auf das europäische, jetzt von uns übertragen wird, während in den USA darüber diskutiert wird, keine zeitnahe Umsetzung dieser Regeln vorzunehmen. Deswegen, liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen: Es ist richtig, dass wir es tun, es ist richtig, wie wir es tun, und wir sollten die Zeit, die wir uns gegeben haben, im Übergang auch nutzen, damit wir an unserer Wirtschaft keinen Schaden nehmen. Aber, Frau Kommissarin, achten Sie auch darauf, dass es in anderen Teilen dieser Erde ordentlich umgesetzt wird.

Herr Präsident! Zuerst zur Bankenunion: Es ist mir völlig unverständlich, warum die EU sich entschlossen hat, so erheblich von den Basel-III-Regeln abzuweichen. Dadurch wird nur die regulatorische Unsicherheit für die Anleger erhöht. Insgesamt muss man von einer Überregulierung der EU-Banken sprechen. Die Branche wird gezwungen, völlig verrückte Vorschriften einzuhalten, einschließlich dieser Anforderungen an ESG und die Umweltberichterstattung. Das wird insgesamt nur zu einer Erhöhung der Kosten für die Bankkunden führen. Abschließend noch kurz zum Anti-Geldwäsche-Paket: Hier werden wieder höchst problematische Regelungen unter dem Deckmantel der Geldwäschebekämpfung verpackt. Die EU greift dabei weit in die Kompetenzen der Mitgliedstaaten ein. Die Freiheit der Bürger wird weiter massiv eingeschränkt. Die EU geht immer mehr den Weg eines sozialistischen Überwachungsstaats, in dem der Privatbesitz eingeschränkt, reglementiert, dokumentiert oder – wie im Falle des Bargelds – zunehmend verhindert werden soll. Ein schlechter Weg.

Mr President, Commissioner, thank you for your work. Almost 12 years ago to the day, 25 April 2012, the then ECB President stood in front of this House and called for the long overdue integration of European banking policy – in short, banking union.  We are 12 years on and we have made great strides, but our banking union is missing its third pillar. This week we’re finalising our position on the updated crisis management framework. Last week, the ECON Committee finally supported a proposal for an initial European deposit insurance scheme. Time is no longer a luxury if we want to show that European economic integration can indeed provide the conditions for a stable and innovative banking industry. While we have reduced the risk, many of the problems we face 12 years ago are still with us. Bank debt and sovereign debt are still too closely intertwined in some countries.  A European approach would bring more competition and better value for people. It would make a real difference in the lives of our citizens, and that is what is important. We need to complete the banking union. In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take.

Mr President, during the economic crisis, we heard phrases like ‘banks too big to fail’, and they did fail and they failed everybody. But thankfully, as a result of the measures taken here at European Parliament level and Commission, we don’t hear that anymore. We now have more resilient banks, and thankfully they’re not going bust, and people aren’t going bust as a result. We have made progress, which is good, and today we are celebrating that. But I think the point made by my good friend Othmar Karas when he says the lack of a completed banking union and the lack of a capital markets union is costing us EUR 470 billion per year, and if the Council is the problem, then in the next mandate, we have got to, as they say in America, ‘kick ass’ to ensure that it actually happens, because we need the investments, especially if we are to complete the Green Deal, if we have investments in renewable energy, retrofitting of buildings, etc. So I think a wake-up call today for the Council: Parliament and the next Commission are going to come after you. We’ll kick ass because we have to get this union completed.

He terminado mi primera intervención diciendo que podemos estar razonablemente satisfechos como Parlamento por el trabajo hecho en esta legislatura. Pero, sin duda, no podemos ser complacientes, porque los retos siguen frente a nosotros y porque la unión bancaria sigue sin estar completada. En lo referido a la implementación del Acuerdo de Basilea —y siguiendo las explicaciones de la comisaria—, es cierto que lo que nos queda por delante es un esfuerzo importante. Hay mucha normativa de nivel II que necesitamos desarrollar, y me gustaría hacer referencia a la necesidad evidente de implementar estas reglas a tiempo el 1 de enero del próximo año tal y como están aprobadas en este Reglamento y en esta Directiva. Cuando se habla de competitividad y se usa la competitividad para reclamar en algunos casos menos regulaciones, estamos invocando un objetivo de una manera errónea, porque si realmente estamos convencidos de que con esta regulación mejoramos la seguridad de los bancos, realmente estamos elevando la competitividad del sector bancario europeo y del conjunto de la economía real, porque no hay nada peor para la competitividad que crisis bancarias como las que hemos sufrido en los años de las crisis financieras. Por lo tanto, es necesario implementar el Acuerdo de Basilea a tiempo con independencia de lo que hagan otras jurisdicciones, porque eso eleva la competitividad de la economía europea. Permítanme que despida este mandato dando las gracias especialmente a los ponentes alternativos que me han acompañado en esta negociación: Othmar Karas, Gilles Boyer, Johan, Ville. Entre todos creamos un buen entorno de negociación con la Comisión. Doy las gracias a la comisaria por su trabajo y, por supuesto, quedo muy contento por participar en esta discusión en este período parcial de sesiones. Quiero despedir de alguna manera también a nuestro querido vicepresidente Pedro Silva. Muchas gracias por todo, Pedro. Pues nada, muchísimas gracias y a seguir con los debates.

Let me start by saying that that money laundering, financing of terrorism is a very serious crime. This is something that is at the end of the criminal behaviour, but at the same time, ease with which money can be laundered is also stimulating the crime. Fighting money laundering is a continuous process because criminals are all the time trying to find a better way how to do it. So that’s why we have already six evolution of Anti-Money Laundering Directive and we are still trying to close the loopholes and make the system better. This time I’m grateful that the Commission had made some systemic changes. This change consists of, first, dividing the directive between the directive and the regulation, and at the same time creating the AMLA body that will oversee the quality of the anti-money laundering framework.  It took more than two years. During that time the word has changed. We witnessed a terrible Russian attack on Ukraine and it has also some financial consequences. We try to find out where the assets of criminals sanctioned people are, and we found that it’s not easy. So this was another impact to our work. And I’m grateful the Commission accepts the fact that that we want more than was originally proposed.  So what did we did do in file I was responsible for? Inter alia, we accept that we are living in the digital age, so we must make sure that the data are used digitally and exchange in a readable form that will make the fight against money laundering easier and more effective. We look very much at real estate, because the system in some countries are, I don’t want to say from the Middle Ages, but definitely are not up to the current situation. And we made a significant improvement. We are aiming to improve the quality data for beneficial ownership. Parliament was proposing to create the registers for planes, boats or similar assets, but we end up after the agreement with the Council with so-called threshold-based reporting that will look after ability to identify who owns such data.  We also tried to improve the interaction between competent authorities and oblige entities, but making sure, for example, how quickly they will react on the suspicious transaction report. We also harmonised the sanctions, and this is just a short list of what we did.  So I hope the system will improve the situation. I hope the system will close some loopholes and make sure that the weakest point of the anti-money-laundering system will become stronger.  So let me, finally, thank the Commission for being responsive to the demands of  Parliament. Let me thank the Council and especially the Belgian Presidency, who did a very good job in finalising the agreement. That would not be possible without really very great and very intense work of our people, our teams and EP staff. I hope that this file will get the support because I believe it deserves it.

Gut ist hier auch – und ich hoffe, da sind wir uns im Parlament einig – die Abschaffung des Vetorechts der Kommission bei den wichtigsten Verwaltungsentscheidungen. Bei den Kosten werden die Gebühren so berechnet, dass stabile Einnahmeströme entstehen. Wichtig ist auch – das sage ich hier sehr deutlich –, dass die Einnahmen aus den Gebühren zukünftig planbar sein müssen, da sie direkte Auswirkungen auf die Finanzierung aus dem EU-Haushalt haben. Sie haben Verständnis dafür, dass wir das als Haushaltsausschuss als sehr wichtig ansehen. Mit unserer Entscheidung hier im Plenum wird die AMLA eine hohe Transparenz erhalten, was die Einnahmequellen betrifft. Wir haben parlamentarische Kontrolle, und die Rechenschaftspflichten sind verbessert.

E, come dice anche l'EPPO, le organizzazioni criminali che reinvestono i loro profitti nell'economia legale, inquinandola, sono le stesse che stanno dietro ai crimini più gravi e violenti, per questo è fondamentale spezzare il circolo vizioso del riciclaggio.  Con questi nuovi provvedimenti superiamo le lacune e le criticità del quadro attuale e rafforziamo l'uniformità e l'efficacia delle norme. Con l'istituzione dell'AMLA poi, realizzeremo la supervisione europea coordinata che fin qui è mancata.  Se la percentuale dei profitti illeciti che oggi riusciamo a recuperare è ancora troppo bassa è anche a causa di sistemi di riciclaggio sempre più sofisticati. Prevenire e ostacolare tali sistemi è quindi un altro fondamentale tassello per colpire i gruppi criminali dove più possiamo nuocere loro nelle tasche.

So wie diese Netzwerke der Reichen und Mächtigen global agieren, ist es daher wichtig, dass auch die Bekämpfung von Geldwäsche länderübergreifend stattfindet. Aus der Perspektive des Ausschusses für konstitutionelle Fragen begrüße ich ausdrücklich, dass mit dem vorliegenden Trilog-Ergebnis die notwendige Voraussetzung für eine EU-weite Zusammenarbeit der nationalen zentralen Meldestellen geschaffen wird, dazu das entsprechende Personal aufgebaut wird und auch die neuen digitalen Medien genutzt werden. Bedeutsam ist ferner der notwendige Ausbau der Transparenzregister hinsichtlich der wirtschaftlichen Eigentümer. Durch stärkere Kontrollen und das Schließen von Lücken bekommen Behörden, Bürgerinnen und Bürger und natürlich auch Journalisten ein klarere Regelungen schaffendes Instrument an die Hand. Ohne Zweifel ein weitreichender Schritt, auch wenn sicherlich noch weitreichendere Befugnisse wichtig gewesen wären.

Wenn wir in der EU Hand in Hand arbeiten und dabei jederzeit unseren rechtschaffenen Bürgerinnen und Bürgern Luft zum Atmen geben, werden wir erfolgreich gegen die organisierte Kriminalität vorgehen können. Freiheit und Sicherheit sollten dabei jederzeit auf einer Stufe stehen. Eine Barzahlungsobergrenze von 10 000 Euro sowie die Ausnahme von Bürgermeisterinnen und Bürgermeistern in kleineren Städten, aber die Aufnahme von Familienmitgliedern der Regierung zeugen von Balance. Setzen wir diese gemeinsam um.

Hoje, aprovaremos regras mais apertadas de combate à lavagem de dinheiro, tanto para os bancos como para o setor não financeiro. E, mais importante, criamos uma nova autoridade europeia para garantir uma supervisão apertada e exigente em toda a União, em particular para as grandes instituições. Combater o dinheiro sujo é uma questão de justiça, mas também de respeito para com os milhões de pessoas que cumprem a lei e obtêm os seus rendimentos de forma honesta.  Há quem fale e há quem faça. Para um parlamentar, o mundo não mudará para melhor, não deixaremos qualquer tipo de marca apenas com discursos inflamados, mas também com trabalho de gabinete, com trabalho de detalhe, com muita vontade, com muita colaboração, através da Câmara.  É por isso, com um gosto enorme, nesta minha última intervenção neste Parlamento nesta legislatura, que eu – que também fiz o meu quinhão de discursos inflamados sobre temas muito importantes para a Europa,  acredito eu –, deixo também este testemunho de um trabalho concreto, de um resultado concreto, feito em colaboração com os meus colegas – a quem agradeço –, de várias bancadas parlamentares, deixando assim como legado também de todos nós, nesta legislatura, nestas últimas sessões de votação, a criação da autoridade europeia contra a lavagem de dinheiro.  É também uma satisfação, Senhor Presidente, fazer este meu último discurso enquanto preside a esta sessão. Caros Colegas de delegação, Colegas até do Comité Económico, amigos de há muitos anos, Senhora Comissária – também nossa colega na Comissão ECON no início deste mandato –, esta é, por isso, uma boa forma de terminar este mandato. Sim, trabalhámos, fizemos as nossas proclamações, mas entregamos resultados aos europeus. E como disse, e bem, a Senhora Comissária há pouco, é bom que os europeus saibam que aqui se entregam resultados concretos que mudam a nossa vida para melhor.

Împreună cu colegii mei am depus peste 3 000 de amendamente care au îmbunătățit substanțial propunerea Comisiei și vreau să le mulțumesc în mod special acelor colegi care sunt undeva acolo sus, Cristina Arion și Horia Lupu, care au fost extraordinari, ca toată echipa noastră de negociere, și acei asistenți și experți care ne-au stat aproape. Ei sunt oamenii cărora le datorăm foarte mult din această muncă. Vouă, dragi colegi, vreau să vă mulțumesc pentru că nu am renunțat și că am făcut o echipă extraordinară pentru un rezultat ambițios, deși n-a fost simplu. Vreau să-i mulțumesc doamnei comisare McGuinness, comisiei și întregii echipe de negociere fără de care știm că acest rezultat nu ar fi fost posibil, dar și Consiliului cu care, chiar dacă am avut pe alocuri viziuni diferite, am reușit să ajungem la un acord. Mă bucur că jurnaliștii și toți cei care au interes legitim, cu o interpretare largă, au acces la beneficiarii reali astăzi. A fost o bătălie importantă pentru mine. Angajamentul nostru a fost și rămâne protejarea cetățenilor europeni, a economiei Uniunii și restabilirea încrederii în instituțiile noastre financiare. Dar, mai ales, ne-am angajat să le arătăm oamenilor că Uniunea Europeană este unită, puternică și eficientă în lupta împotriva criminalității organizate, spălării de bani, corupției împotriva camarilei putiniste și a rețelelor sale în Europa. Nu a fost ușor, dar am reușit și vă sunt recunoscătoare pentru asta.
