Paragraph 13 a (new)
13 a. Notes that the transportation of animals is a recognised factor in the spread of infectious disease and that EFSA recommends that transportation should be limited as much as possible for this reason; therefore, a short, maximum journey limit for animals intended for slaughter would reduce the risk of disease spread and should be considered a priority due to the economic and health risk posed by infectious disease.

Recital 4 a (new)
(4 a) Bearing in mind that the EBA, in works of which all Member States participate with equal rights, was established with an aim to develop the single rulebook and ensure the coherence of supervisory practices within the EU and given the establishment of the single supervisory mechanism with a leading role of the ECB, the EBA needs to be equipped with adequate instruments, which will enable it to efficiently perform its entrusted tasks concerning the integrity of the single market in the area of financial services.

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 specificcommon procedure, binding for all competent authorities, should be provided for. In particular, if the competent authority, including 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. 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.

(7) Decisions concerning breaches of Union law and settlement of disagreements should be examined by an independent panel composed of voting members of the Board of Supervisors which do not have any conflicts of interest, appointed by the Board of Supervisors. The decisions proposed by the panel to the Board of Supervisors should be considered as adopted uonless rejected by a simple majority, which should include an adequate number of votes from members from Member Sy if accepted by the Board of Supervisors at simple majority in two separate votings, one of which tatkes participating in the SSM and from Member States that do not participate in the SSMlace in the group of the Member States with common euro currency and the second in the group of remaining Member States.

Recital 8 a (new)
Recital 8 a (new)
(8 a) Since the Member States which entered into close cooperation with the SSM are devoid of voting rights in the Governing Council of the ECB, which results in a lack of effective influence on the decision making process within the SSM, a special procedure for settlement of disagreements between the ECB and a competent authority of a Member State which has entered into close cooperation shall be established, which will compensate for the absence of forceful instruments to sway the decision making process taken within the SSM and at the same time, will safeguard the right to protect justified interests, in particular the stability of the local financial market. To that end, the EBA should be equipped with the ultimate authority to settle disagreements between the ECB and the competent authority of a Member State that has entered into close cooperation with the SSM.

(4) Competence for supervision of individual banks in the Union remains mostly at national level. This limits the effectiveness of supervision and the ability of supervisors to reach a common understanding of the soundness of the banking sector throughout the UnionCoordination between supervisors is vital but the crisis has shown that mere coordination is not enough, in particular in the context of a single currency. In order to preserve and increase the positive effects of market integration on growth and welfare, integration of supervisory responsibilities should therefore be enhanced.

(29) As regards the supervision of cross- border banks active both inside and outside the Euro area the ECB should cooperate closely with the competent authorities of non participating Member States. As a competent authority the ECB should be subject to the related obligations to cooperate and exchange information under Union law and should participate fully in the colleges of supervisors. In addition, since the exercise of supervisory tasks by a European institution brings about clear benefits in terms of financial stability and sustainable market integration, Member States not participating in the common currency should therefore also have the possibility to participate in the new mechanism. However, it is a necessary pre-condition for an effective exercise of supervisory tasks, that supervisory decisions are implemented fully and without delay. Member States wishing to participate in the new mechanism should therefore undertake to ensure that their national competent authorities will abide by and adopt any measure in relation to credit institutions requested by the ECB. The ECB should be able to establish a close cooperation with the competent authorities of a Member State not participating in the common currency. It should be obliged to establish the cooperation where the conditions set out in this regulation are met. The conditions under which representatives of the competent authorities of the Member States which established a close co-operation take part to the activities of the Supervisory Board should allow the greatest possible involvement of those represenensure equal treatment of all participating Member Statives taking into account the limits following from the Statute of ESCB and of the ECB, in particular as regards the integrity of its decision making process.

(34) The conferral of supervisory tasks implies a significant responsibility for the ECB to safeguard financial stability in the Union, and to use its supervisory powers in the most effective and proportionate way. The ECB should therefore be accountable for the exercise of these tasks towards the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers respectively the Eurogroup as democratically legitimised institutions representing the European people and the Member States. That should include regular reporting and responding to questions. Where national supervisors take action under this Regulation, accountability arrangements provided under national law should continue to apply.

(47a) Whereas the pending financial crisis contributed immensely to the fragmentation of European financial markets, it is indispensable to enhance the common integrated financial framework. However, it should be borne in mind that the deepening of integration in the EMU cannot give rise to new, not outlined in the Treaties, convergence criteria, which can create additional barriers to entry for countries under a temporary derogation.

(47b) Whereas, efforts to secure financial stability within the EU require a diversified approach to distinctive types of risks in different markets and considering that the economies of the Member States, including those in the EMU, remain heterogeneous and that economic cycles are not synchronized, it should be borne in mind that according to the ESRB Recommendation (ESRB/2011/3) and standard no. 138 of Basel III, effective response to the problems of macroeconomic imbalances necessitates the use of discretionary instruments at local level. Moreover, the scope to customize macroprudential instruments is of the utmost significance to the Member States remaining in the EMU, due to their inability to use macroeconomic automatic stabilizers, such as interest rate or exchange rate.

They have been compounded by the recent economic and financial crisis, which has resulted in increased levels of unemployment, hitting in particular young people and other vulnerable groups, such as migrants. The ESF should aim to promote and create employment and support labour mobility, invest in education, skills and life-long learning, promote social inclusion and combat poverty. In promoting the better functioning of labour markets by enhancing the transnational geographical mobility of workers, the ESF should, in particular,may support European Employment Services (EURES activities) in relation to recruitment and the related information, advice and guidance services at national and cross-border level.

By pursuing its primary thematic objectives, the ESF should contribute to addressing these challenges. In this context, the ESF should support the labour force transition towards greener skills and jobs, in particular in the energy efficiency, renewable energy and sustainable transport sectors, taking into account the Union's intention to increase the proportion of the EU budget that is related to climate mainstreaming to at least 20%, with contributions from different policy fields.
