"Madam President, I wish to pay tribute to the work done by Elisa Ferreira for her longstanding commitment and her determination to prevent a repetition of the financial disasters that have cost us so much since 2008. As my colleague Mairead McGuinness has said, it cost us EUR[nbsp ]64 billion in public money – equivalent to over 40% of our GDP.
This deal actually brings us many steps forward towards a stronger and more prudent European banking system. Together with stronger banking supervision and stricter capital requirements we will now have rules for the orderly winding down or restructuring of our troubled banks. I believe it is the most important piece of legislation that we will have passed in this term of the European Parliament. I wish we had done it sooner and that the Member States had allowed it to go further. We will have a hierarchy of shareholders and bondholders responsible for bailing in banks and taking on the bulk of their losses, and an EU Single Resolution Mechanism funded by the bank levies will be in place to deal with the remainder of the losses."@en1
