Channel: IIEA
Date: 2013-07-24

About the Speech:
Frau Lautenschläger discussed the European Union's plans to establish a European bank resolution authority, to complement the supervisory authority. Though she has been supportive of the need for a bank resolution mechanism, she maintains that such an authority can only be established on a sound legal basis, and that changes to the European Union's treaties would be required to legitimise any such body.
