Resilience is the foundation that makes competition possible, says Supervisory Board member Sharon Donnery in a speech at the SSM Senior Forum. Just as Europe learned that by pooling sovereignty, countries gain influence, we must recognise that by embedding resilience, we don’t weaken competitiveness. We enable it. Simplifying regulation is possible, but it must be done carefully and not at the expense of resilience. Simplification must mean making the regulatory framework more efficient, more transparent and more proportionate.   In her speech, she also touches on: 🔹the importance of completing the banking union and integrating European capital markets 🔹the aim of enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of supervision Read Sharon Donnery’s speech to learn more 👉 https://europa.eu/!B4CpwR

Completing the Single Market concerns us all. It forms the bedrock of a predictable investment and business environment, founded on the rule of law. After all these decades of European integration there is still no better way to simplify and to lower the regulatory burden than to reduce twenty-seven regimes to one, says Supervisory Board Vice-Chair Frank Elderson at the Single Resolution Board Legal Conference. We know that: 🔹 Internal barriers to the Single Market are estimated, on average, to be equivalent to tariffs of 44% for goods and 110% for services 🔹 To boost Europe’s competitiveness, strategic autonomy and resilience, we must harmonise rules across borders and agree on a clear roadmap to complete the Single Market 🔹 Deepening the Single Market is not just a legal obligation under the EU Treaties, it also makes perfect sense economically Any meaningful debate on growth, productivity and strategic autonomy must begin with a firm commitment to completing the Single Market and to do so in a timely manner.
