... Lobbying
groups representing the big banks are pushing back against a set of proposed
rules that the Fed issued in December to more closely scrutinize the firms and
rein in their risk-taking after the 2007-2009 financial crisis. In
our view, neither the belief nor the assumptions are correct. In
the 21st century, companies served by international banks compete in a global
economic system, exporting finished products, importing raw materials and
components, and establishing substantial operations abroad. Third, although the
Associations recognize that in many (but not necessarily all) cases, the
failure of a large bank is more likely to result in national systemic risk than
the failure of a smaller bank, we submit that this issue should be addressed by
an effective and credible resolution regime for large institutions. In addition, Dodd‐Frank amended Section 13(3) of the
Federal Reserve Act to eliminate the potential for single‐company special
financing”. ...

... And by putting a senior adviser at Goldman Sachs in charge of a Western nation, it has taken to new heights the political power of an investment bank that you might have thought was prohibitively politically toxic. Mr Monti is one of Italy's most eminent economists, and he spent most of his career in academia and thinktankery, but it was when Mr Berlusconi appointed him to the European Commission in 1995 that Goldman Sachs started to get interested in him. Perhaps the most prominent ex-politician inside the bank is Peter Sutherland, Attorney General of Ireland in the 1980s and another former EU Competition Commissioner. Like Mr Monti, Mario Draghi, who took over as President of the ECB on 1 November, has been in and out of government and in and out of Goldman. It is another bank bailout, like in 2008: The mechanism is different, in that this is happening at the sovereign level not the bank level, but the rationale is the same." It was one of the ten biggest bankruptcies in US history. ...
... In practice this means that citizens of the EU -plus Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Monaco- will be able to pay by direct debit from any aforementioned territory. Up to now it was only possible to debit payments if the creditor and the account charged were in the same country, but with the new system, all banks in the Euro zone countries will have to introduce cross-border direct debit before November 2010 (the rest can wait until November 2014). It seems that, in short, we will be able to use a single account for all kind of banking operations within the EU. Moreover, the expression “a girlfriend in every harbour” will only be applicable for sailors (with pirates’ permission), because individuals and companies must no longer open and maintain a bank account in every state where they have some economic interest, such as a branch... ...
... Not even property owners who hand over their keys to the bank and return to their home countries, victims of the financial situation in Spain and with no family or social resources here to fall back on. But the banks have all the time in the world and the law does not prevent them from following up a legal judgement in another country. This is because when a court has authorised the foreclosure, the bank or savings bank “has the action in personam which is recognised regardless of the country you are in”, state judicial sources. This means that legally speaking the banks can chase their former clients wherever they are in the world. Sources from a savings bank admit that it is costly enough to chase up a debt in Spain, and so “the idea can end up being abandoned when there are thousands of kilometres involved”. However AFES warns that “banks have all the time in the world to enforce a sentence”. ...

... Provisional measures, cross-border attachment of bank accounts, and transparency of the debtor’s assets' (Trier, 15-16 May 2008). Freezing or “attaching” a debtor's bank account(s) is a very effective way for creditors to recover the amount owed to them. Most Member States have legislation which provides for the attachment of bank accounts. The Commission therefore proposes the creation of a European system for the attachment of bank accounts. The effectiveness of current measures and the need for new instruments will be analysed in this seminar. In 2006 the European Commission adopted a strategy paper on ”Global Europe: Competing in the World“, designed to increase the contribution of European trade policy to the Lisbon Programme (COM(2006)567). ...
