"Let us stop speculating on the sovereign debt of Member States. On Tuesday, 15 November, the European Parliament adopted the ban on naked credit default swaps (CDS) on sovereign debt with a large majority. With the Canfin report, the European Parliament has therefore just put an end, purely and simply, to speculative sovereign debt games, which have no place in a social market economy. With contagion now spreading from the peripheral countries to Italy, Spain, and to our country, banning the sale of these speculative financial instruments is consistent with the notion of European public utility. Achieving this ban, in the current context, was no mean feat for the European Parliament and shows that it intends to play its full role in getting the European Union out of this crisis. While the debt crisis is being dealt with behind closed doors, the European Parliament is fully performing its role as colegislator: going beyond the Commission proposal, Parliament has succeeded, through lengthy negotiations with the Member States, in banning naked credit default swaps on sovereign debt. This is good news, both for the return of financial regulation and for the European Parliament."@en1
