"Against the backdrop of the current crisis, the activities of credit rating agencies are being subject to ever-mounting criticism due to the fact that they have failed to be objective in evaluating the level of credit risk for companies and even states. These agencies did not provide any early evaluations indicating the risk of a crisis, but have actually downgraded the rating for several European states, thereby exacerbating the crisis.
The major problem is the lack of competition on the credit rating services market because it is controlled by just three US companies. In this regard, I support the proposal from President Barroso to set up a European Credit Rating Agency. As you are all aware, one of the three agencies changed Germany’s credit rating last week on the back of an unacceptable error.
I wish to end by saying that the European Union must ensure that the activities of credit rating agencies will be better regulated in future."@en1
