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.
布魯塞爾一家歐盟監管委員會投票一致決定,接受國際會計準則理事會(IASB)週一對國際會計準則做出的緊急修改。這將使銀行在爲某些價格大幅下跌的資產估價時有更大的迴旋餘地。歐洲議會(European Parliament)的立法者很快批准了投票結果,這也得到了成員國的一致支持。這意味著如果銀行願意的話,它們可以把這些選擇性的變化應用在第三季度業績報告的計算中。
