"Madam President, I commend the rapporteur on this report. The new Single Resolution Mechanism for European banks that was adopted by the European Parliament today is a vital and essential step towards breaking the link between bank debt and sovereign debt and for the retrospective capitalisation of Irish banks, which was agreed upon by EU leaders in June 2012.
The SRM regulation introduces a coordinated European approach for failed banks. It stipulates that bank shareholders and creditors should bear the cost of bank failures, and that private sector solutions should be found rather than using taxpayers’ money. Ireland’s economic recovery is very much challenged by the fact that one quarter of our debt was placed on the shoulders of Irish taxpayers in order to safeguard the euro. In agreeing, in June 2012, to break once and for all the link between bank debt and sovereign debt, EU government leaders accepted the principle of the recapitalisation of Irish banks.
Given that the practical effect of this decision means proper European banking regulation, a single supervisory mechanism for banks, a single resolution framework for failed banks and a European deposit guarantee scheme, I was happy to support the resolution and the report."@en1
