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

The Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs adopted a report by Roberto GUALTIERI (S&D, IT) on the proposal to appoint the Chair of the Supervisory Board of the European Central Bank (ECB).

The committee approved the appointment of Mr Andrea Enria as Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the European Central Bank.

Parliament's Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs assessed the qualifications of the candidate proposed by the ECB on 7 November 2018 in view of the requirements laid down in Council Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 entrusting the ECB with specific tasks relating to policies on the prudential supervision of credit institutions. On 20 November 2018, it held a hearing with the proposed candidate, during which he made an introductory statement and then answered questions from the members of the committee.
