European Parliament
Katiforis (PSE ),
rapporteur
Mr President, I have tabled Amendment No 8, which adds a new paragraph 4c, in the interests of achieving the widest possible consensus of a report that deserves support because it represents a new opening in our policy towards financial markets. I wish to change a word that will give more flexibility to the report and make it acceptable to more colleagues.
I will read the amendment: 'Calls upon the Commission to undertake all necessary steps, including in particular a cost-benefit analysis of the effects on European capital markets, to assess the establishment of a competent European Registration
Scheme
'. This word replaces 'authority'. The rest remains unchanged.
This change gives the flexibility desired by certain colleagues and I look forward to their support.
