The introduction of the cooperative banking group into our legal system has led to a profound reorganization of the cooperative credit sector. In fact, one of the effects, produced by the reform, has been to polarize the BCC around two large groups (ICCREA Banca and Cassa Centrale Banca) which, in the SSM system, are classified as significant banks, with the consequence that the stricter rules established by the so-called CRD package and the related implementing regulations must be applied to them and, in turn, to all the companies in the group. The consequence is that, even though the individual BCC is naturally a small bank, in terms of territorial operations and the size of its collections and investments, due to its (mandatory) membership in a cooperative banking group, it ends up bearing the same costs as larger banks, whenever the group reaches the prescribed capital requirements. In this essay we will try to analyze the problem of costs resulting from the application of European banking regulations through different perspectives that could influence their reduction.
L'introduzione del gruppo bancario cooperativo nel nostro ordinamento ha portato a una profonda riorganizzazione del settore del credito cooperativo. Infatti, uno degli effetti prodotti dalla riforma è stato quello di polarizzare le BCC attorno a due grandi gruppi (ICCREA Banca e Cassa Centrale Banca) che, nel sistema SSM, sono classificati come banche significative, con la conseguenza che a loro e, a loro volta, a tutte le società del gruppo devono essere applicate le regole più stringenti stabilite dal cosiddetto pacchetto CRD e dai relativi regolamenti attuativi. La conseguenza è che, sebbene la singola BCC sia naturalmente una banca di piccole dimensioni, in termini di operatività territoriale e di entità della raccolta e degli investimenti, a causa della sua (obbligatoria) appartenenza a un gruppo bancario cooperativo, finisce per sostenere gli stessi costi delle banche di maggiori dimensioni, ogniqualvolta il gruppo raggiunga i requisiti patrimoniali prescritti. In questo saggio cercheremo di analizzare il problema dei costi derivanti dall'applicazione della normativa bancaria europea attraverso diverse prospettive che potrebbero influenzarne la riduzione.

Abstract
The introduction of the cooperative banking group into our legal system has led to a profound reorganization of the cooperative credit sector. In fact, one of the effects, produced by the reform, has been to polarize the BCC around two large groups (ICCREA Banca and Cassa Centrale Banca) which, in the SSM system, are classified as significant banks, with the consequence that the stricter rules established by the so-called CRD package and the related implementing regulations must be applied to them and, in turn, to all the companies in the group. The consequence is that, even though the individual BCC is naturally a small bank, in terms of territorial operations and the size of its collections and investments, due to its (mandatory) membership in a cooperative banking group, it ends up bearing the same costs as larger banks, whenever the group reaches the prescribed capital requirements. In this essay we will try to analyze the problem of costs resulting from the application of European banking regulations through different perspectives that could influence their reduction.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
