(24) In order to ensure the orderly functioning and integrity of financial markets, investor protection and financial stability it is necessary to provide a mechanism for monitoring of the design of investment products and for powers to prohibit or restrict the marketing, distribution and sale of any investment product or financial instrument giving rise to serious concerns regarding investor protection, the orderly functioning and integrity of financial markets, or the stability of the whole or part of the financial system, together with appropriate coordination and contingency powers for ESMA. The exercise of such powers by competent a ...[+++]uthorities and, in exceptional cases, by ESMA should be subject to the need to fulfil a number of specific conditions.

- Mr President, the key strategy the EU Commission has for Europe up to 2020 is reliance on neoliberal capitalism and a market system – in other words, the exact same factors that have plunged the world into the current economic chaos and illustrated in the Commission’s and EU governments’ response to the financial crisis in Greece: a shameful capitulation to the speculation and profiteering by the sharks in the financial markets; demanding that the Greek working class, pensioners and poor should have their services and living standards savaged to feed the insatiable greed of these financial markets, which are not some kind of an all-po ...[+++]werful god, as media commentators would have us believe, but investment banks, hedge-fund operators, bond holders and the like – parasites seeking super profits by deliberately speculating to create financial instability and then exploiting that to bleed working people. Is this the Europe we want for 2020?

The European Parliament, which has long called for an increased convergence of national supervisory practices and improvement of existing crisis management arrangements in the EU, therefore welcomes both ECOFIN Council Conclusions, and shares the view that a consistency between the evolution of going concern supervisory arrangements, both at national and cross-border levels, and that of crisis management/ financial stability arrangements is needed. Having regard to the two ECOFIN Council Conclusions, and to the still-unfolding financial crisis whose speed and pace has taken by surprise many market participants and supervisors, having regard to the threats the crisis still poses to the EU financial market ...[+++]s and to its spill-over into the EU economy, what does the Presidency consider as appropriate steps to be undertaken in this area in order to better respond to the challenges of globally integrated markets and to preserve the soundness and stability of the EU financial markets?

The European Parliament, which has voiced several calls for increased convergence of national supervisory practices and improvement of existing crisis management arrangements in the EU, welcomes the main actions proposed in the Commission Communication.

In exercising its implementing powers, the Commission should respect the following principles: the need to ensure confidence in financial markets among investors by promoting high standards of transparency in those markets; the need to provide investors with a wide range of competing investments and a level of disclosure and protection tailored to their circumstances; the need to ensure that independent regulatory authorities enforce the rules consistently, especially as regards the fight against economic crime; the need for high levels of transparency and consultation with all market participants and with the European Parliament and ...[+++]the Council; the need to encourage innovation in financial markets if they are to be dynamic and efficient; the need to ensure market integrity by close and reactive monitoring of financial innovation; the importance of reducing the cost of, and increasing access to, capital; the balance of costs and benefits to market participants on a long-term basis (including small and medium-sized businesses and small investors) in any implementing measures; the need to foster the international competitiveness of EU financial markets without prejudice to a much-needed extension of international cooperation; the need to achieve a level playing field for all market participants by establishing EU-wide regulations every time it is appropriate; the need to respect differences in national markets where these do not unduly impinge on the cohesion of the single market; and the need to ensure coherence with other Community legislation in this area, as imbalances in information and a lack of transparency may jeopardise the operation of the markets and above all harm consumers and small investors.
