ПРЕССЪОБЩЕНИЕ 3 септември 2010 г. Нова европейска надзорна рамка се създава от 1 януари 2011 г. На 2 септември 2010 г. бе постигнато политическо съгласие между Европейския парламент, Европейската комисия и Съвета на Европейския съюз, с което се създава нова европейска надзорна рамка. Това решение, което влиза в сила от 1 януари 2011 г., е резултат от продължителен процес, в който България в лицето на Министерството на финансите и Българската народна банка бе активен участник. Европейската надзорна рамка включва създаването на Европейски съвет за системен риск, Европейски банков орган, Европейски орган за застраховане и професионално пенсионно осигуряване и Европейски орган за ценни книжа и пазари. По този начин за първи път на европейско равнище се формират необходимите инструменти за идентифициране на рискове и предотвратяване на кризи в европейската финансова система. Създават се и ефективни средства за по-добър контрол за участниците на финансовия пазар, което ще доведе до бързи и координирани действия за защита на икономиката и гражданите на ЕС. Приемането на регламентите, с които ще се създадат четирите нови европейски надзорни органа, засилва европейското измерение на финансовия надзор. Европейският съвет за системен риск ще осъществява надзор на макроравнище върху финансовата система на ЕС. Целта е предотвратяване и намаляване на системните рискове, избягване на мащабни финансови сътресения, както и безпрепятственото функциониране на вътрешния пазар. За тази цел Европейският съвет за системен риск ще извършва оценка на рисковете за стабилността на европейската финансова система и ще предупреждава при системни рискове, като дава препоръки за справянето с тях. Те ще могат да бъдат отправяни както към ЕС като цяло, така и към една или няколко държави-членки, европейски или национални надзорни органи. Препоръките няма да имат правнообвързващ характер за адресатите. Европейският съвет за системен риск ще се председателства от президента на Европейската централна банка. От българска страна представител ще бъде управителят на Българската народна банка Иван Искров. За усъвършенстване на надзора на банковия сектор на европейско ниво се създава Европейски банков орган. Неговата задача ще бъде да координира и наблюдава дейността на големите европейски банкови групи и да предлага стандарти и указания към националните надзорни органи, следейки за тяхното прилагане. Създаването на Европейския банков орган няма да отнеме правомощията на националните надзорни органи и те ще продължат да упражняват ежедневен надзор над отделните финансови институции. Европейският банков орган ще може да издава решения към отделни финансови институции в случай на нарушаване на европейското законодателство, при разрешаване на спорове между национални надзорни органи, както и при кризисна ситуация на ниво ЕС. Председателят на Европейския банков орган ще се избира от Съвета на надзорниците, в който от българска страна ще участва подуправителят на БНБ и ръководител на управление „Банков надзор” Румен Симеонов. За България създаването на Европейския банков орган ще даде възможност за още по-активно участие и сътрудничество в реализирането на неговите изключително важни функции, своевременен обмен на информация и координирани действия с другите национални надзорни органи. Комисията за финансов надзор ще представлява България в Европейския орган за застраховане и професионално пенсионно осигуряване и в Европейския орган за ценни книжа и пазари.

European Commission - The EU Single Market, Markets in Financial Instruments Directive / MiFID European Authorities The European system set up for the supervision of the financial sector is made of three supervisory authorities: the European Securities and Markets Authorities (ESMA), the European Banking Authority (EBA) and the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA). The system also comprises the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB) as well as the Joint Committee of the European Supervisory Authorities and the national supervisory authorities. Whilst the national supervisory authorities remain in charge of supervising individual financial institutions, the objective of the European supervisory authorities is to improve the functioning of the internal market by ensuring appropriate, efficient and harmonised European regulation and supervision. ESMA - European Securities and Markets Authority - EU supervisory body for EMIR compliance ESMA is an independent EU Authority that contributes to safeguarding the stability of the European Union's financial system by ensuring the integrity, transparency, efficiency and orderly functioning of securities markets, as well as enhancing investor protection. In particular, ESMA fosters supervisory convergence both amongst securities regulators, and across financial sectors, by working closely with the other European Supervisory Authorities competent in the field of banking (EBA), and insurance and occupational pensions (EIOPA).

The main task of the EBA is to contribute to the creation of the European Single Rulebook in banking whose objective is to provide a single set of harmonised prudential rules for financial institutions throughout the EU. The Authority also plays an important role in promoting convergence of supervisory practices and is mandated to assess risks and vulnerabilities in the EU banking sector. EIOPA is part of the European System of Financial Supervision consisting of three European Supervisory Authorities and the European Systemic Risk Board. It is an independent advisory body to the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union. EIOPA’s core responsibilities are to support the stability of the financial system, transparency of markets and financial products as well as the protection of insurance policyholders, pension scheme members and beneficiaries.
