De kom for at tale med os i deres kapacitet af næstformænd for Det Europæiske Udvalg for Systemiske Risici, og vi havde fornøjelsen af at høre, især fra Mervyn King - det var ganske morsomt, hvis De kan huske sidste års forhandlinger, hr. kommissær - at beskyttelsesklausulerne, som medlemsstaterne med stor fornøjelse tilføjede til den pakke, Kommissionen havde udarbejdet, ikke ville forhindre dem i at følge Den Europæiske Banktilsynsmyndigheds retningslinjer for rekapitalisering.
They came to see us in their capacity as Vice-Chairs of the European Systemic Risk Board, and we had the pleasure of hearing, from Mervyn King in particular - it was rather amusing, if you recall last year's negotiations, Commissioner - that the safeguard clauses, which the Member States delighted in adding to the package developed by the Commission, would not prevent them from following the recapitalisation guidelines given by the European Banking Authority (EBA).
