in writing.
(SV)
We Swedish Conservatives and Christian Democrats today voted in favour of an own-initiative report on the annual report on EU competition policy. The report contains a passage stating that the Commission should work to bring about the separation of the banks’ retail deposits and investment banking activities. We are sceptical about such a proposal, as we do not believe that this would necessarily create a better financial sector, while, at the same time, economies of scale and synergy effects would be lost.
