"At the height of the financial crisis originating in the property sector, in September 2008, competent authorities in several EU Member States and the United States adopted emergency measures to restrict or ban short selling in some or all securities. They acted due to concerns that, at a time of considerable financial instability, short selling could aggravate the downward spiral in the prices of shares, notably in financial institutions, in a way which could ultimately threaten their viability and create systemic risks. The measures adopted by Member States were divergent, as the Union lacks a specific legislative framework for dealing with short selling issues. The purpose of this report on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on short selling and certain aspects of credit default swaps is to compensate for this lack of a specific legislative framework for a measure regarding short selling at the level of the Twenty-Seven. As such, I voted for this report."@en1
