In the aftermath of the financial crisis, new financial market regulation is being implemented, and increasing numbers of countries are establishing new legislation for macroprudential oversight. Against this backdrop, this thought provoking book provides a platform for the leading international experts to discuss and encourage future debate on financial stability.

The European macro-prudential policy framework operates at two levels. First, the ESRB has a legal responsibility for macro-prudential oversight in the EU. Second, various national and EU authorities have responsibility for the implementation of macro-prudential policy. The creation of a European banking union is an important innovation within this two-level structure. In response to this innovation, this paper makes two key points. First, the ECB should be in charge of macro-prudential policies conferred by the Capital Requirements Regulation and Directive. Within the ECB, macro-prudential decisions should be taken entirely by the Governing Council, while micro-prudential decisions should be prepared by the Supervisory Board. Second, the ESRB remains the only EU-wide body in charge of macro-prudential supervision, responsible for all financial activities. The ESRB's effectiveness could be strengthened by creating a post of Managing Director, who would carry out the policy determined by the General Board and would be responsible to the General Board for the management of the ESRB.

In diesem Beitrag soll ein Ansatz vorgestellt werden, welcher es ermoglicht, allein auf der Basis technischer Merkmale des Browsers eines Nutzers sowohl Betrug zu erkennen als auch gezielte Marketingmasnahmen zu aktivieren. Ziel der Entwicklung ist es, sowohl eine Wiedererkennung von Benutzern zu ermoglichen und dabei nicht auf Cookies zuruckgreifen zu mussen, als auch, durch den Einsatz von Data-Mining-Verfahren, charakteristische Merkmale fur bestimmte Kundengruppen zu finden und somit insbesondere bei Neukunden gezielte Angebote schalten zu konnen. Des Weiteren werden der Prototyp, realisiert als Webservice, vorgestellt und Erfahrungen beim Einsatz diskutiert. Zum Abschluss werden verschiedene Nutzungsszenarien fur die Felder Betrugserkennung und Marketing prasentiert.

The report discusses a variety of issues involving difficulties in the banking sector, with a view to ascertaining the appropriate institutional infrastructure in the context of the European Union and the euro area. Forbearance on the part of banks dealing with delinquent borrowers is problematic if it is designed as a way to game creditors and supervisors. Supervisors should not tolerate excessive forbearance; failure to intervene early tends to increase the costs of the crisis. Macro-prudential concerns should not induce the authorities to delay clean-ups of banks in difficulties. To minimise the macroeconomic fallout from banking problems and to reduce the temptation for authorities to delay and hide problems in banking, it is necessary to have a viable resolution regime that leaves room for authorities to reduce the systemic fallout from resolution. The Advisory Scientific Committee calls for the establishment of strong European bodies responsible for banking supervision and bank resolution. A European competence is necessary to ensure that cross-border concerns are given appropriate weight in supervision and resolution.
