Amending Regulation (EU) 2017/2402 on securitisation and a specific framework for simple, transparent and standardised securitisation (A10-0138/2026 - Ralf Seekatz) (vote)
Mr President, good morning, friends. Today we are voting on the first major legislative package proposed by the current Commission on financial matters in this mandate. An agreement was reached in the ECON Committee that is supported by pro-European majority of this House. I am well aware that there is another potential majority which will never be capable of delivering policies in favour of Europeans. I will not go into the details of the agreement, but we believe that the text negotiated is a balanced proposal which will help to develop the EU securitisation market in a prudential, responsible way that safeguards financial stability. This is the result of an agreement between the EPP, Renew and S&D stemming from negotiations in which the Green shadows rarely attended, rejecting the mandate today and reopening the text in the plenary will only open the door for anti-European forces to table amendments, some of which could potentially be adopted by the other majority of this House. Therefore, I call for support for the mandate.
