Implementation of the Environmental Liability Directive (A8-0297/2017 - Laura Ferrara) IT

26-10-2017

Oggi ho votato a favore della risoluzione in oggetto, riguardante l'applicazione della direttiva sulla responsabilità ambientale (ELD). Il testo constata che, oltre al ritardo e alla mancanza di parità nel recepimento dell'ELD da parte di diversi Stati membri, vi sia una significativa assenza di chiarezza e di uniformità nell'applicazione dei concetti principali, nonché capacità e competenze non sufficientemente sviluppate. Come sottolineato dalla relazione della Commissione, il recepimento dell'ELD è attualmente del tutto eterogeneo sia in termini giuridici sia pratici, con grande variabilità del numero di casi tra gli Stati membri. La risoluzione chiede di rivedere quanto prima l'ELD e di rivedere la definizione di "danno ambientale", soprattutto in relazione ai criteri per la determinazione degli effetti negativi significativi sulle specie e gli habitat protetti, in modo che sia efficace, omogenea e funzionale alla veloce evoluzione dei fattori inquinanti derivanti dalle attività industriali. Sostengo dunque il testo in votazione, secondo il quale occorrono ulteriori sforzi per consentire una parificazione normativa a livello europeo in materia di responsabilità ambientale.

Framework for simple, transparent and standardised securitisation (A8-0387/2016 - Paul Tang) IT

26-10-2017

Oggi ho votato a favore della risoluzione in oggetto, che stabilisce norme comuni sulla cartolarizzazione, e instaura un quadro europeo per cartolarizzazioni semplici, trasparenti e standardizzate (STS). La cartolarizzazione, che è un elemento importante ai fini del buon funzionamento dei mercati finanziari, se strutturata in modo solido, costituisce un canale di diversificazione delle fonti di finanziamento e di ripartizione più ampia del rischio all'interno del sistema finanziario dell'Unione. Il presente regolamento riconosce tuttavia i rischi di una maggiore interconnessione e di leva finanziaria eccessiva che la cartolarizzazione comporta e incoraggia pertanto le autorità competenti a procedere a una vigilanza micro-prudenziale della partecipazione di un ente finanziario al mercato. Sostengo perciò il testo in votazione, affinché l'Unione definisca con precisione la cartolarizzazione STS, per evitare una disparità di condizioni e pratiche di arbitraggio regolamentare.

Prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms (A8-0388/2016 - Othmar Karas) IT

26-10-2017

Oggi ho votato a favore della risoluzione in oggetto, relativa ai requisiti prudenziali per gli enti creditizi e le imprese di investimento. La cartolarizzazione, che è un elemento importante ai fini del buon funzionamento dei mercati finanziari, se strutturata in modo solido, costituisce un canale di diversificazione delle fonti di finanziamento e di ripartizione più ampia del rischio all'interno del sistema finanziario dell'Unione. Il presente regolamento riconosce tuttavia i rischi di una maggiore interconnessione e di leva finanziaria eccessiva che la cartolarizzazione comporta e incoraggia pertanto le autorità competenti a procedere a una vigilanza microprudenziale della partecipazione di un ente finanziario al mercato. Sostengo dunque il testo in votazione, che presenta i requisiti prudenziali per la cartolarizzazione STS e propone che i metodi di calcolo dei requisiti patrimoniali per le posizioni in una cartolarizzazione siano gli stessi per tutti gli enti.
