Recital 5
(5) In view of the supervisory tasks conferred on the ECB by Council Regulation (EU) No …/… [127(6) Regulation], EBA should be able to carry out its tasks also in relation to the ECB. In order to ensure that existing mechanisms for settlement of disagreements and actions in emergency situations remain effective, a specific procedure should be provided for. In particular, if the ECB does not comply with an action by EBA to settle a disagreement or to address an emergency situation, it should be required to explain its reasons. Additionally, to ensure the level playing field between the ECB and Member States out of the single supervisory mechanism, the same right should be granted to the national competent authorities. In that case, whenever based on requirements set out in directly applicable Union law EBA can adopt an individual decision addressed to the financial institution concerned, it should do so.

Recital 7 a (new)
(7 a) It is important to maintain a balance among euro area and non-euro area competent authorities participating in the ECB component of the SSM since the latter are not represented on the Governing Council of the ECB. Therefore, where a competent authority from a Member State that has entered into close cooperation with the ECB in accordance with Regulation (EU) No .../... [127(6) Regulation] disagrees with a supervisory action of the ECB addressed to an institution within that Member State, it should be able to refer the matter to an the independent panel within EBA, consisting of the competent authorities of the participating Member States and of the Member States that have entered into close cooperation agreements with the ECB. The panel, by simple majority of the competent authorities represented, should be able to propose a decision on the matter to the Board of Supervisors, where it should be considered adopted unless opposed by a simple majority. Competent authorities not participating in the SSM may also refer decisions to the independent panel with regard to firms operating in their jurisdiction that may have serious implications for stability or the internal market. (Based on Rapporteur's amendment 6.)

(8) The members of the independent panel set up according to Article 41(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 should not be considered to be in a situation of conflict of interest on the sole ground that they are representatives of competent authorities which are part of the SSM and a given case to be decided upon by the Panel concerns the SSM. The EBA should develop rules of procedure for the panel that ensure its independence and objectivity.

Recital 10 a (new)
(10 a) The revision of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 in light of the proposal for the SSM can distort the relatively good balance between euro and non-euro area countries which exists at the moment within the EBA. It can thus lead to a dominant position of the euro area when decisions on technical standards are made, which in turn would impact important financial sector regulations which concern the Union as a whole.

Recital 10 a (new)
Recital 10 a (new)
(10 a) An effective single, Union-wide supervisory mechanism should include not only an authority with the power to design and ensure the consistent Union- wide implementation of a single rulebook, but also the harmonised execution by competent authorities of that single rulebook. While the ECB component of the SSM can perform this role for some Member States, it is not feasible for it to do so for all as there are institutional obstacles to ensuring equal treatment of non-euro area participants and a possibility of conflict between euro area monetary policy and Union-wide supervisory policy. Therefore, harmonised execution through a single supervisory body can only be achieved by other means. It is imperative that where there is a conflict between Euro-area monetary policy and Union-wide supervisory policy the requirements of Euro-area monetary policy are not imposed on non-Euro area countries where it would be damaging to their monetary policy. Any analysis of such conflict may not be made solely by the ECB, but must be referred inter alia to the ESRB. The monetary policy of the ECB must be conducted independently. (Modification of rapporteur’s amendment 11 - last sentence an addition.)
