United Kingdom’s Challenges in the European Monetary and Economic Union (EMU)
Contents:
The European Commission's plan of September [17] did not receive unanimous agreement from the Council.
The United Kingdom was mobilised against this text since it was liable to impact its financial markets, the City. In addition the project for European regulation on the separation of banking activities also highlights the fact that euro area members are far from having a single vision of how European standards should be drawn up for financial matters [19].

The text aims to distinguish retail banking activities from investment banking. It provides for a ban on negotiation for own account and the retaining of certain negotiating activities for major European establishments. Yet the regulation, once adopted, will not apply to British establishments since article 21 provides for a derogation for credit establishments covered by national legislation with an effect equivalent to that of the regulation.
This derogation will be granted by the Commission at the request of the Member State concerned, which must have received a positive opinion from the national authority with jurisdiction, responsible for surveillance of the banks for which the derogation is requested. In order to meet the derogation conditions, national legislation must have been adopted before 29th January , i. National legislation must meet three criteria: This exemption is specifically aimed at the United Kingdom which adopted in a legislative mechanism The Banking Reform Act which meets these criteria.
Finally, in the coming months analysis should be made of the debates around the project for capital market Union, presented in the name of the European Commission by the financial stability, financial services and capital markets Union commissioner, the British man Jonathan Hill.
The CMU meets several objectives: The stated ambition is to have financial establishments with structures adapted for risk management. The so-called 5 presidents' report on extension of EMU considers that, along with banking Union, this is one of the two pillars of a necessary financial union [20]. It is not limited, however, to the euro area only. The outlines of the project remain blurred, nevertheless, although a green paper was published in February [21]. The consultation undertaken for the drafting of this document does however translate real involvement on the part of the British: The question of a review of the method of functioning of banking Union, with the establishment of a European financial markets supervisor, should be at the heart of discussions with the United Kingdom.
It is no doubt in the light of this prospect that analysis should be made of the British wish not to allow its position to be dictated by the euro area. Votes at the Union Council Within the Council, coalition structures on economic and monetary matters confirm the lack of any "block" dynamic amongst euro area countries. Graph 1, created using the Votewatch database shows the political culture of consensus within the Council and the place of the United Kingdom within it.
It presents, for the period from 1st July to 31st December , the share of votes cast by each Member State in the field of economic and monetary affairs and which is similar to those of the United Kingdom. It is therefore already surprising to even look for a block structure here, as this is something that goes against its practices.
So, although the Cameron government has opposed its peers in the Council more often than the Brown government, [23] it has only gone 4 times against a proposed text on this subject at the Council, from a total of 81 texts voted. Even if the scale of difference were higher, the graph shows a lack of correlation between proximity with the United Kingdom during votes and the fact of whether the Member State in question belongs, or not, to the euro area. There is not therefore any reason to conclude as to the presence of a block vote by the euro area unfavourable to UK preferences within the Council on economic and monetary matters.

Framework for fiscal governance shall be completed through implementation of: Establish a framework for systematic Ex Ante Coordination of major economic policy reforms as per Article 11 of the Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance.
A pilot project was conducted in June , which recommended the design of the yet to be developed Ex Ante Coordination EAC framework, should be complementary to the instruments already in use as part of the European Semester , and should be based on the principle of "voluntary participation and non-binding outcome".
Meaning the end result of an EAC should not be a final dictate, but instead just an early delivered politically approved non-binding "advisory note" put forward to the national parliament, which then can be taken into consideration, as part of their process on improving and finalizing the design of their major economic reform in the making.

Agreement on the harmonisation of national resolution and deposit guarantee frameworks, so that the financial industry across all countries contribute appropriately under the same set of rules. Establish a new operational framework under the auspice of the European Stability Mechanism ESM , for conducting "direct bank recapitalization" between the ESM rescue fund and a country-specific systemic bank in critical need, so that the general government of the country in which the beneficiary is situated won't be involved as a guaranteeing debtor on behalf of the bank.
This proposed new instrument, would be contrary to the first framework made available by ESM for "bank recapitalizations" utilized by Spain in , which required the general government to step in as a guaranteeing debtor on behalf of its beneficiary banks - with the adverse impact of burdening their gross debt-to-GDP ratio. Establish a new "mechanism for stronger coordination, convergence and enforcement of structural policies based on arrangements of a contractual nature between Member States and EU institutions on the policies countries commit to undertake and on their implementation".
The envisaged contractual arrangements "could be supported with temporary, targeted and flexible financial support", although if such support is granted it "should be treated separately from the multiannual financial framework".
