  5. The EU Commission’s proposal (1) • An enhanced European financial supervisory framework should be composed of two new pillars • European Systemic Risk Council (ESRC) -> macro-prudential supervision • European System of Financial Supervisors (ESFS) -> micro-prudential supervision • In this context, the existing 3L3 Committees to be replaced by three new European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs)

  6. The EU Commission’s proposal (2) • Micro-prudential supervision • A single set of harmonised rules • The ESAs to develop binding technical standards in specific areas • The European Supervisory Authorities: • To collect micro-prudential information • To have full supervisory powers for some specific entities (i.e. credit rating agencies) • To ensure coordinated response to the crisis • To promote common supervisory culture and consistent supervisory practices • To participate in colleges’ meetings as observers • Disagreement between national supervisors • ESAs to facilitate the dialogue and assist supervisors in reaching a joint agreement

  7. CEBS’s work on convergence • Tools developed by CEBS • Supervisory culture • Common toolkit • Colleges

  8. CEBS’s work on convergence – Colleges(1) • Guidelines on home-host cooperation (Jan 2006) • Range of practices paper (Dec 2007) • Template for written agreements (Jan 2009) • Joint principles (CEBS/CEIOPS) for supervisory colleges (Jan 2009) • Good practices paper (April 2009)

  9. CEBS’s work on convergence - Colleges (2) • CEBS priorities • Agreed list of major cross border banking groups in EU • Regular follow up and monitoring • Aim for 2009 • To have colleges in place for each group on the list • To have MoUs in place • To have a good planning of supervisory activities

  10. Tools for regulatory harmonisation • Peer review mechanism • Supervisory disclosure framework • Mediation mechanism
