The Communication is based on a cross-sectoral stocktaking exercise of the coherence, equivalence and actual use of sanctioning powers in the Member States carried out by the three Committees of Supervisors (Committee of European Banking Supervisors - CEBS, Committee of European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Supervisors - CEIOPS and Committee of European Securities Regulators - CESR).
Selvityksen teki kolme valvontakomiteaa (Euroopan pankkivalvontaviranomaisten komitea CEBS, Euroopan vakuutus- ja työeläkevalvontaviranomaisten komitea CEIOPS ja Euroopan arvopaperimarkkinavalvojien komitea CESR).
