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

The European Parliament decided to approve by 467 votes to 47, with 106 abstentions, the appointment of Andrea Enria as Chair of the Supervisory Board of the European Central Bank.

As a reminder, Council Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 provides that the European Central Bank is to submit to Parliament its proposal for the appointment of the Chair of the Supervisory Board and that the Chair is to be chosen on the basis of an open selection procedure from among individuals of recognised standing and experience in banking and financial matters who are not members of the Governing Council.

Council Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 provides that the appointments for the Supervisory Board in accordance with that Regulation are to respect the principles of gender balance, experience and qualification.
