European Central Bank (ECB): appointment of the Vice-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 Vice-Chair of the Supervisory Board of the European Central Bank (ECB).

The committee approved the appointment of Yves Mersch as Vice-Chair of the Supervisory Board of the European Central Bank.

Parliament's Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs evaluated the credentials of the proposed candidate, in particular in view of the requirements laid down in Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 entrusting the ECB with specific tasks relating to policies on the prudential supervision of credit institutions.

On 4 September 2019, 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.
