Charlie McCreevy of EU said that in his opinion the fresh policy mean that managerial authorities will have to be transparent, clear, and reliable when analyzing the mergers & acquisitions taking cross-border.
This verdict is analyzed as a consequence of disagreement between central bank of the European Commission & Italy in 2005 when the central bank of Italy closed banking mergers for banks cross-borders to Italy. The governor of central bank, Antonio Fazio, at that time, tried to stop the mergers of Banca Antonveneta by the ABN AMRO bank. The take-over of BNL (Banca Nazionale del Lavoro) by Spain's BBVA was also tried to be stopped. EU had a familiar problem with Poland too when Poland tried to obstruct finance deals by foreign players.
"This will allow consistency in banking mergers and prevent them from intentional political interventions, which is currently prevalent in Europe," said an analyst at RNCOS.
A list of rules will spell out the job of supervisory bodies in countries in the blocking or allowing of financial mergers. EU is also trying to decrease the time of examination of a merger with the help national watchdogs from 3 months to 30 days. To compete with likes of US, EU is trying hard to increase financial mergers. For this new legislation all EU members must accept the proposal and pass it.
