Ferreira has been a Member of the European Parliament since the 2004 European elections. She has since been serving as a member of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs. In this capacity, she drafted the committee’s own-initiative report on closer coordination of economic policies, which calls for the European Central Bank (ECB) to be granted powers to monitor “financial stability in the euro-area” and to be involved “in EU-wide macroprudential supervision of systematically important financial institutions.”[2] She was also in charge of the parliament’s report on the Macroeconomic Imbalance Procedure in 2011[3] and led the parliament’s work on the Single Resolution Mechanism (SRM) in 2013.[4]
From 2004 to 2014, Ferreira was a member of the parliament’s delegation to the ACP–EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly. In 2015, she joined the Special Committee on Tax Rulings and Other Measures Similar in Nature or Effect.
In 2012, Ferreira was part of the Socialists and Democrats (S&D) expert “alternative troika” sent to Greece to assess what measures can be taken to spur job growth.[5]
In addition to her committee assignments, Ferreira is a member of the European Parliament Intergroup on Long Term Investment and Reindustrialisation.[6]
