    Brüssel, 18.01.2013 Newsletter der Europagruppe GRÜNE Die Plenarwoche in Straßburg 14.- 17. Januar 2013 I. DIE THEMEN SEITE - Neue Regeln für Ratingagenturen 2 - Jugendgarantie 2 - Wirtschaftspartnerschaftsabkommen mit Afrika 3 - Korruption in der EU 4 - Arbeitsbedingungen in Entwicklungsländern 4 - Irische Ratspräsidentschaft 5 - Gebühren für Handgepäck im Flugverkehr 6 II. TERMINE - Aktuelle Termine der Europagruppe GRÜNE 7 1 I. Die Themen Neue Regeln für Rating-Agenturen Bericht Leonardo Domenici (S&D, Italien) "Änderung der Verordnung (EG) Nr. 1060/2009 über Ratingagenturen" Verfahren der Mitentscheidung Debatte am Dienstag, 15. Januar Abstimmung am Mittwoch, 16. Januar +++ Kontakt: Sven Giegold MdEP, www.sven-giegold.de +++ Hintergrund: Vertreter des Europaparlaments und des Rats haben sich auf einen Kompromiss für die Revision der Regeln für Ratingagenturen geeinigt. Das Plenum muss den Kompromiss nun annehmen, bevor daraus neues EU-Recht werden kann. Der Text greift einige wichtige Punkte zur Regulierung dieser mächtigen Institute auf. Weitergehende Forderungen der Grünen und des Europaparlaments wurden jedoch vom Rat blockiert. Ergebnis aus Grüner Sicht: Der Kompromiss wird Ratingagenturen zwar strenger regulieren - doch leider bleibt die Marktmacht der "Großen Drei" (Moody's, S & P, Fitch) ungebrochen. Für eine soziale Marktwirschaft ist diese Kontenztration von ca. 95 Prozent Marktanteil nicht tragbar. Die aktuellen problematischen Ratings auf Buchstabenbasis (z.B. AAA) werden durch ein zusätzliches, logischeres und zahlenbasiertes System ergänzt. Basierend auf historischen Werten soll damit die Gefahr von Zahlungsunfähigkeit abgebildet werden. Eine vollständige Umstellung auf das neue System war leider nicht durchsetzbar. Die Grüne Forderung nach einer unabhängigen Ratingstiftung wurde in abgeschwächter Form aufgenommen. Die Kommission wird damit beauftragt, verschiedene Möglichkeiten zu untersuchen.
