An EU regulators' committee in Brussels voted unanimously to accept Monday's emergency changes made by the International Accounting Standards Board. These will give banks more leeway in how they value certain assets whose prices have plunged. Lawmakers in the European Parliament soon endorsed the vote and member states gave their unanimous support. This means the changes, which are optional, can apply to calculations of banks' third quarter results if they wish.
布鲁塞尔一家欧盟监管委员会投票一致决定,接受国际会计准则理事会(IASB)周一对国际会计准则做出的紧急修改。这将使银行在为某些价格大幅下跌的资产估价时有更大的回旋余地。欧洲议会(European Parliament)的立法者很快批准了投票结果,这也得到了成员国的一致支持。这意味着如果银行愿意的话,它们可以把这些选择性的变化应用在第三季度业绩报告的计算中。
