European Central Bank: appointment of the Chair of the Supervisory Board

The European Parliament approved by 555 votes to 50, with 52 abstentions, the proposal of the European Central Bank for the appointment of the Chair of the Supervisory Board of the European Central Bank.

To recall, the ECB submitted to Parliament a proposal for the appointment of Danièle Nouy as the Chair of the Supervisory Board of the ECB for a term of office of five years. Parliament’s Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs then proceeded to evaluate the credentials of the proposed candidate. The Committee held a hearing with the proposed candidate on 27 November 2013, at which she made an opening statement and then responded to questions from the members of the Committee.
