When we talk about strengthening financial securities and having a financial securities regulator, every single thing we bring forward to strengthen financial management in this country, every single bill that we have brought forward, the member's party has voted against it.

On financial security: amendments have been tabled either to propose that financial security become compulsory after the directive enters into force, or to oppose such a move towards compulsory financial security.

1 b. If no appropriate instruments or markets for insurance or other forms of financial security are created within five years from the date referred to in Article 21, the Member States shall take measures to establish a mandatory system of financial security and to guarantee that suitable insurance or other forms of financial security are made available to operators for the activities referred to in Annex I.

The polluter pays principle therefore aims to address remediation and incentivise prevention. A mandatory financial security regime would destabilise this relationship: operators would know that their financial liabilities are covered by an insurance policy/fund/levy.and, as a consequence, the incentive to prevent damage (and avoid the cost of paying for pollution) is removed.

Member States shall also take measures to improve the development, by the appropriate economic and financial operators, of financial security instruments and markets.
