S obzirom na nedavne krizne situacije banaka u SAD-u i slučaj banke Credit Suisse, EGSO je razmotrio prijedlog Komisije o reformi okvira za krizno upravljanje bankovnim sektorom i osiguranje depozita. Među ostalim, Odbor poziva na zaštitu interesa manjih i lokalnih banaka, deponenata i poreznih obveznika, kao i na to da se paket mjera za krizno upravljanje bankovnim sektorom i osiguranje depozita uskladi s budućom reformom Uredbe o državnim potporama.
Zahtjev EGSO-u da razmotri to pitanje i suzakonodavcima i španjolskom predsjedništvu Vijeća EU-a dostavi preporuke o politikama podnijela je španjolska vlada. Prijedlogom Komisije o reformi okvira za krizno upravljanje bankovnim sektorom i osiguranje depozita nastoje se ukloniti preostali rizici u europskom bankarskom sektoru, čime se doprinosi dovršetku bankovne unije i jača jedinstveno tržište EU-a u interesu deponenata i poreznih obveznika.
„EGSO razumije da je na krizne situacije banaka važno odgovoriti brzo, fleksibilno i u duhu suradnje, i pritom zaštititi deponente i porezne obveznike”, rekao je izvjestitelj EGSO-a Giuseppe Guerini. „Prijedlog Komisije korak je prema dovršetku bankovne unije, koji je ključan za realizaciju potpune konsolidacije financijskog sustava EU-a i smanjenje fragmentacije tržišta.”
EGSU u svom mišljenju insistira na tome da su usklađivanje instrumenata za zaštitu depozita i ocjenjivanje alternativnih rješenja za sanaciju i nesolventnost ključni za zaštitu interesa deponenata i očuvanje diversifikacije europskog bankarskog ekosustava. (tk)
