In a number of resolutions adopted before and during the financial crisis, the European Parliament called for a move towards more integrated European supervision in order to ensure a truly level playing field for all actors at Union level, and for such supervision to reflect the increasing integration of financial markets in the Union, in particular in its resolutions of 13 April 2000 on the Commission communication on implementing the framework for financial markets: Action Plan, of 21 November 2002 on prudential supervision rules in the European Union, of 11 July 2007 on financial services ...[+++] policy (2005-2010) — White Paper, of 23 September 2008 with recommendations to the Commission on hedge funds and private equity, of 9 October 2008 with recommendations to the Commission on Lamfalussy follow-up: future structure of supervision, and in its positions of 22 April 2009 on the amended proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the taking-up and pursuit of the business of Insurance and Reinsurance (Solvency II), and of 23 April 2009 on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on Credit Rating Agencies.
