European Commission-COMMISSION STAFF WORKING DOCUMENT-Economic Review of the Financial Regulation Agenda
May 15, 2014--EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In response to the financial crisis, the EU has pursued an ambitious regulatory reform agenda that has been coordinated with international partners in the G20.
The aim has been to restore financial stability on a global scale and build a financial system that serves the economy and can play its part in putting the EU back on a path of
sustainable growth. The Commission has followed a detailed roadmap in reforming the financial system.
In 2009, the Commission set out the way forward for improving the regulation and supervision of EU financial markets and institutions.1 Building on this roadmap, in 2010, the Commission announced further measures to bring about a safe and responsible financial sector which is conducive to economic growth and delivers enhanced transparency, effective supervision, greater resilience and stability as well as strengthened responsibility and consumer protection.2 The subsequent emergence of specific risks which threatened financial stability in the euro area and the EU as a whole called for deeper integration to put the banking sector on a more solid footing and restore confidence in the euro.
This led to the development of the Banking Union.3
