A study of the interaction between the European Parliament and the European Central Bank in the Single Supervisory Mechanism
European Law Review , Volume 44 - Issue 1 p. 3- 23
In the context of the introduction of the Single Supervisory Mechanism ( SSM) as part of the
European Banking Union, the European Central Bank ( ECB) has been assigned specific supervisory
tasks relating to credit institutions established primarily in the euro area. One particularly remarkable
feature of this new legislation, notably when compared with the monetary policy tasks of the ECB, is
the introduction of an explicit accountability framework with a particular focus on the relationship
between the ECB and the European Parliament.
It is this relationship, and mainly the so-called
supervisory dialogue, that form the focal point of this contribution, which offers an assessment of the
legal framework, as well as of the actual practice in these first years of the existence of the SSM,
against a clearly defined notion of accountability. With regard to the actual practice, the contribution
focuses on the exchanges between the chair of the ECB’s main decision-preparing body on SSM
matters, i.e. the Supervisory Board, and the European Parliament’s Committee on Economic and
Monetary Affairs.
