DECISION (EU) 2016/3 OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK

of 18 November 2015

laying down the principles for providing feedback on the performance of national competent authorities' sub-coordinators in the joint supervisory teams of the Single Supervisory Mechanism (ECB/2015/36)

THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 of 15 October 2013 conferring specific tasks on the European Central Bank concerning policies relating to the prudential supervision of credit institutions (1), and in particular Article 6(1) and (7) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Article 6(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 (hereinafter the ‘SSM Regulation’) stipulates that the European Central Bank (ECB) is responsible for the effective and consistent functioning of the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM). Recital 79 of the SSM Regulation states that highly motivated, well-trained and impartial staff is indispensable to effective supervision. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Article 6(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 (hereinafter the ‘SSM Regulation’) stipulates that the European Central Bank (ECB) is responsible for the effective and consistent functioning of the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM). Recital 79 of the SSM Regulation states that highly motivated, well-trained and impartial staff is indispensable to effective supervision.

| (2) | In accordance with Articles 3 to 6 of Regulation (EU) No 468/2014 of the European Central Bank (2) (hereinafter, the ‘SSM Framework Regulation’), the ECB is in charge of the establishment and composition of joint supervisory teams (JSTs) composed of staff members from the ECB and from the national competent authorities (NCAs). The JST coordinator, assisted by NCA sub-coordinator(s), ensures the coordination of the work within the JST. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

In accordance with Articles 3 to 6 of Regulation (EU) No 468/2014 of the European Central Bank (2) (hereinafter, the ‘SSM Framework Regulation’), the ECB is in charge of the establishment and composition of joint supervisory teams (JSTs) composed of staff members from the ECB and from the national competent authorities (NCAs). The JST coordinator, assisted by NCA sub-coordinator(s), ensures the coordination of the work within the JST.

| (3) | In view of the NCA sub-coordinators' important role in coordinating the JST members from their NCA, it is necessary and proportionate to introduce a uniform process for the provision of performance feedback on NCA sub-coordinators in JSTs. By assisting with the continuous improvement of the NCA sub-coordinators' performance, the SSM performance feedback helps to ensure the proper functioning of JSTs. The SSM performance feedback initially takes the form of a field test that is limited in time. Based on the experience gained during the field test, a more comprehensive implementation of the SSM performance feedback mechanism will be considered. NCAs and the ECB are solely responsible for the performance appraisal of their staff. NCAs may use the feedback provided in accordance with this Decision in the day-to-day management of their staff members, and it may serve as input into the internal appraisal systems of the NCAs, if allowed under the relevant national law. |

Principle 1

Scope of the SSM performance feedback

NCA sub-coordinators in JSTs will be subject to SSM performance feedback, provided that they work in a JST on the basis of at least 25 % of a full-time equivalent position as defined in the employment framework of the relevant NCA.

Principle 2

Purpose of the SSM performance feedback

In order to ensure and improve the functioning of the SSM as a whole, the SSM performance feedback will recognise and assess the NCA sub-coordinators' performance when carrying out their tasks, with a view to further developing their understanding of the objectives and competencies common to the SSM, and thereby fostering motivation among team members.

Principle 3

SSM performance feedback process for NCA sub-coordinators

| 1. | At the beginning of the feedback cycle, the JST coordinator, after consultation with the NCA sub-coordinator, sets the main tasks and objectives for the NCA sub-coordinator referred to under Principle 1. The main tasks and objectives will be recorded in the SSM feedback form. |
| --- | --- |

1.

| 2. | The JST coordinator is to provide each NCA sub-coordinator referred to under Principle 1 with ongoing guidance and informal feedback throughout the feedback cycle. Once the feedback cycle is completed, the JST coordinator will provide each NCA sub-coordinator referred to under Principle 1 with end-of-cycle feedback, both orally and in writing in the SSM feedback form. |
| --- | --- |

2.

| 3. | Both the ongoing and the end-of-cycle feedback will take into account the NCA sub-coordinators' main tasks and objectives, as recorded in the SSM feedback form, the SSM competencies set out in Annex II and their team's contribution to the overall functioning of the JST. |
| --- | --- |

3.

Principle 4

Access to the SSM performance feedback

| 1. | The end-of cycle performance feedback for NCA sub-coordinators in a JST may be made accessible to, and may be used by the relevant NCA for the purpose of facilitating the NCA's regular management of its staff, if allowed by the applicable national laws. |
| --- | --- |

1.

| 2. | NCAs may choose to use the SSM performance feedback as additional input to their internal performance appraisal systems, if allowed by the applicable national laws. |
| --- | --- |

2.

| 3. | Access to the SSM performance feedback, including its transfer, will be granted to NCAs in accordance with Article 8(a) of Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1). |
| --- | --- |

3.

Principle 5

Protection of personal data processed in the context of the SSM performance feedback

| 1. | The SSM performance feedback data will be processed by the ECB in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001. |
