France, Italy and Spain have jointly proposed new rules aimed at easing cross-border banking operations and cutting red tape across the bloc, according to a document seen by Euronews.
The three countries submitted their proposals as an input to the European Commission, which is expected to publish a report on the competitiveness of the banking sector on 15 July.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has made competitiveness a central plank of the EU's agenda. As part of that push, the Commission is planning a reform of the European banking sector, with a legislative proposal expected in 2027.
