- On taxonomy
During #EPhearing2019, Executive Vice-President-designate @VDombrovskis does not really respond to @BasEickhout ➡️ let’s start work on a #BrownTaxonomy & start implementation of #greenTaxonomy in 2020 pic.twitter.com/sj81bV9ZIa

- On mandatory disclosure and financial stability
Good news from @VDombrovskis on intentions to implement #BaselIII BUT we should be wary of industry’s claims that European banks need tailor-made rules #CRDVCRR2. Tackling #TooBigToFail is key + requires structural reforms #EPhearings2019
