  A suitably broken U(2)^3 symmetry acting on the first two generations of
quarks and squarks is studied as a natural generalization of the Minimal
Flavour Violation principle to the case of a hierarchical squark spectrum. A
definite correlation emerges between the meson mixing amplitudes in the K, B(d)
and B(s) systems which can resolve the current tension in CKM fits, while
predicting a moderate enhancement of the B(s) mixing phase, in agreement with
recent data from the LHCb experiment, as well as sbottom and gluino masses in
the TeV region.
