The planning and execution of the tasks conferred on the ECB should be fully undertaken by an internal body composed of its Chair and Vice-Chair and four representatives of the ECB and one representative of the national competent authority in each participating Member State (‘Supervisory Board’).

On the same grounds, the Council should be given the power to adopt an implementing decision to appoint the Vice-Chair of the Supervisory Board.

The European Parliament approved this proposal on 5 February 2014.












(5)


Subsequently, on 5 February 2014, the ECB submitted to the Council a proposal for the appointment of the Vice-Chair of the Supervisory Board.
