  • Key Messages Of José Manuel Durão Barroso President Of The European Commission During His Visit To Milan (Italy), 17 March 2012

    Date 19/03/2012

    On the comprehensive crisis response

    "We have made good progress. The Europe 2020 strategy builds on the, sometimes painful, lessons we have learnt from previous efforts to improve Europe's growth and competitiveness. It can provide the foundations on which to build policies for a return to growth. The so-called six-pack, six legislative proposals put forward by the European Commission and now adopted by the European Parliament and the Council. Also the Fiscal Compact, that was just signed by 25 out of 27 Member States have strengthened our economic governance. The second programme for Greece has been decided; several Member States, most notably Italy, are implementing courageous decisions with regard to the restructuring of their economies. The European Central Bank is playing an important role through its lending operations are providing crucial help to the banks, inject the liquidity into economy. We have put in place the defences, so-called firewalls to support and protect Member States as they undertake structural change. We are currently discussing whether they these should be reinforced. You know that the Commission position is that they should indeed be reinforced."

  • Public Statement By SEC Staff: Commission Credits Individual Under Cooperation Initiative By Robert Khuzami, Director, Division Of Enforcement

    Date 19/03/2012

    In January 2010, the Commission established a formal program to encourage and reward individuals who cooperate in SEC investigations and litigation. This Cooperation Initiative recognizes that the first-hand evidence of wrongdoing possessed by cooperators can significantly enhance the Commission's ability to stop fraud, secure strong settlement and trial outcomes and return funds to harmed investors. In particular, cooperating witnesses enable the Commission to investigate misconduct more quickly and efficiently due to the high-quality nature of their evidence; increase the likelihood of stopping ongoing misconduct, thus minimizing the amount of investor loss and number of victims; unlock the intricacies of cases involving complex markets, transactions and products; and build more and better cases against the organizers, leaders and other higher-ups who cover their tracks and operate through subordinates. The AXA Rosenberg matter reflects some of these benefits, as the senior executive cooperated early in the investigation, provided substantial assistance in the investigation, gave complete and truthful information, and facilitated the investigation of a complex and high priority case involving quantitative investment models. Due in part to his assistance, the SEC brought two enforcement actions in rapid succession, returned $217 million to victims, and imposed additional penalties totaling $27.5 million. This demonstrates that the Enforcement Division fully recognizes the value of cooperation in SEC investigations, and will seek to reward such cooperation appropriately.
