A.听听whereas, according to its statement of revenue and expenditure(1), the final budget of the European Securities and Markets Authority (the 鈥楢uthority鈥�) for the financial year 2017 was EUR听42听076 719, representing an increase of 6,37听% compared to 2016; whereas the Authority is financed by a contribution from the Union (EUR听11听019听552, 26,19听%), contributions from national supervisory authorities of the Member States (EUR听18听584听866, 44,17听%) and fees received from supervised entities (EUR听11听831听781, 28,12听%);

B.听听whereas the Court of Auditors (the 鈥楥ourt鈥�), in its report on the annual accounts of the Authority for the financial year 2017 (the 鈥楥ourt鈥檚 report鈥�), has stated that it has obtained reasonable assurances that the Authority鈥檚 annual accounts are reliable and that the underlying transactions are legal and regular;

7.听听Stresses that, while making sure that all assignments are carried out in full and within deadline, the Authority should fulfil the tasks and the mandate assigned to it by the European 合法博彩网站 and the Council and should stay within the mandate of those assignments; calls on the Authority to ensure a proper follow-up and implementation of the Court鈥檚 recommendations;

8.听听Stresses that the Authority should pay particular attention to the principle of proportionality in carrying out its mandate; underlines that, in particular when formulating Level 2 and Level 3 measures, attention should be devoted to specific features of national financial markets;

9.听听Notes that, as the Authority鈥檚 workload is increasingly shifting from regulatory tasks to enforcing and applying the Union law, the Authority鈥檚 budgetary and personnel resources should be reallocated; stresses, in this respect, the need to ensure an appropriate level of prioritisation as regards resource allocation;

10.听听Believes that any potential increase in the Authority鈥檚 means must be accompanied by adequate rationalisation measures;

11.听听Requests the European Securities and Markets Authority and the European Banking Authority (鈥楨BA鈥�) to conduct an inquiry into dividend arbitrage trading schemes such as cum-ex in order to assess potential threats to the integrity of financial markets and to national budgets; to establish the nature and magnitude of actors in these schemes; to assess whether there were breaches of either national or Union law; to assess the actions taken by financial supervisors in Member States; and to make appropriate recommendations for reform and for action to the competent authorities concerned;

12.听听Stresses the need to allocate sufficient resources, to address existing anti-money laundering competences and to ensure a swift exchange with EBA regarding money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism; asks the Authority to develop common guidance in exchange with EBA and the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (鈥楨IOPA鈥�) on how to integrate AML/CFT risks in prudential supervision;

13.听听Welcomes the fact that the Authority, along with EBA and EIOPA, forms part of the Joint Committee which aims to ensure cross-sector consistency and joint positions in the area of supervision of financial conglomerates and on other cross-sector issues, and that it shares an accounting officer with the European Union Agency for Railways;

14.听听Notes that an external evaluation of the three European Supervisory Authorities was carried out in 2017; calls on the Authority to report to the discharge authority on the measures taken (by the Authority) to address the shortcomings identified by the external evaluation;

Staff policy

15.听听Notes that, on 31 December 2017, the establishment plan was 97,33听% executed, with 146 temporary agents appointed out of 150 temporary agents authorised under the Union budget (compared with 140 authorised posts in 2016); notes that in addition 55 contract agents and 23 seconded national experts worked for the Authority in 2017;

16.听听Notes that the staff turnover rate of the Authority was 6,5听%, meeting the Authority鈥檚 target of less than 10听% and implying a decrease of 1,50听% in comparison to the previous year;

22.听听Notes that 28听% of the Authority鈥檚 budget came from fees charged to the entities it supervises; notes with satisfaction that measures have been implemented in order to mitigate any conflicts of interests, and that those structures and processes have been audited; calls on the Authority to continue reporting to the discharge authority on its measures to ensure that no conflict of interest occurs; furthermore, notes that the Authority believes that if the Commission collected the fees, inefficiencies would arise as the Authority already has the appropriate fee-setting and collection structures and processes in place, and the Authority considers that the procedure requires specific expertise due to its dynamic and technical nature;

23.听听Considers that, while carrying out its work and in particular when drafting implementing measures, the Authority needs to regularly and comprehensively inform the European 合法博彩网站 and Council about its activities; stresses that it is essential for the Authority, in view of the nature of its assignments, to exhibit transparency, not only to the European 合法博彩网站 and the Council, but to the Union citizens as well;

Internal Controls

24.听听Notes that the Commission鈥檚 Internal Audit Service (IAS) performed an audit on Peer Reviews of National Competent Authorities, concluding that the processes are generally adequate, efficient and effective; notes that the IAS made four recommendations, none of which were considered as critical or very important; calls on the Authority to report to the discharge authority on the measures taken to address those recommendations;

Other comments

25.听听Notes that, according to the Court鈥檚 report, the United Kingdom鈥檚 decision to withdraw from the European Union might affect the Authority鈥檚 activities since the most significant supervised entities are currently located there; notes that a future decrease of the Authority鈥檚 revenue resulting from the United Kingdom鈥檚 decision to withdraw from the European Union is possible; calls on the Authority to remain aware of the situation in hand, prepare to mitigate any risks that may occur, and report to the discharge authority on any developments in that regard;
