The Weiss affair, culminating in the BVerfG ruling of 5 May 2020 ( Weiss II), marks a break-up point in the long-standing dialogue between the BVerfG and the CJEU. The judges in Karlsruhe refused to follow the decision rendered by the CJEU in a preliminary ruling ( Weiss I) and ordered EU institutions to provide further clarifications on the proportionality assessment of the Public Sector Purchase Programme. This paper claims that the principles applied by the BVerfG in Weiss I are quite similar to those employed in the Gauweiler and Landeskreditbank-Banking Union cases. Considering that background, it will be argued that the construction of the principles employed by the BVerfG for the judicial review of EU acts did not undergo dramatic changes over time. The different outcome of Weiss II is due to the fact that, according to the BVerfG, insufficient elements of explanation and justification were provided by the ECB and the CJEU. Therefore, the central problem of Weiss II ends up being a procedural question of allegedly insufficient statements of reasons. From Gauweiler to Weiss II, one also sees the development of the standards for the judicial review of the ECB’s decisions, in the fields of both monetary policy and banking supervision.

In this paper we analyze the effectiveness of more than 30 years of efforts by international banking supervisors, working together in the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, to harmonize capital and liquidity standards for internationally active banks. Notwithstanding the great efforts and progress made by international banking supervisors since the financial crisis of 2007–2009, two important issues require further attention. First, although bank capital ratios have been raised significantly since the recent financial crisis, they are still at historically low levels. In a world in which global debt ratios have risen even further during the past decade, this is a worrying signal of fragility in the global financial system. Second, bank liquidity requirements may have become too complex and could also have unintented and unpredictable interaction effects with bank capital requirements.

ZusammenfassungDie Wirtschaft braucht Kredit, und die Gesellschaft mehr Sicherheit. Die Banken müssen in der Kreditvergabe auf Ertrag und Risiko gleichzeitig achten. Damit die Regulierung effektiven Schutz bieten kann, muss die Bankenaufsicht die Einhaltung der Vorschriften überwachen und frühzeitig das Entstehen übermässiger Risiken aufdecken. In der Bankenunion kann eine zentrale Aufsicht eher für gleich lange Spiesse im europaweiten Wettbewerb der Banken sorgen, kann unabhängiger als nationale Aufsichtsbehörden agieren, und dank besserer Ressourcen auch komplexe Grossbanken wirksam beaufsichtigen. So wird die Kreditvergabe sicherer, indem die Banken angehalten sind, faule und riskante Kredite zügig abzubauen und mehr Kredit auf die produktiveren Unternehmen mit besseren Aussichten lenken.Christian Keuschnigg und Michael Kogler, Herausgeber.Altavilla, Carlo, Miguel Boucinha, José-Luis Peydró, und Frank Smets (2020), Banking Supervision, Monetary Policy and Risk-Taking: Big Data Evidence from 15 Credit Registers, CEPR Discussion Paper Nr. 14288.
