Details

This authoritative new book presents a comprehensive analysis of the role of the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) in the EU Banking Union. It explores the SSM’s principal objective to foster secure credit institutions and a stable financial system, through prudential supervision competences between the European Central Bank and relevant member states.

Key Features:

• Analyses the substantive and procedural law applied by the European Central Bank under the SSM, with particular reference to the use of national law • Describes the constitutional foundations of the SSM and its material limitations, as well as the allocation of tasks within the SSM • Highlights the importance of a level playing field and proportionality in EU banking structures, and how these should be adequately balanced • Provides guidance on the effective interpretation of the SSM, especially in situations of disputed interpretation or the clashing of policies and principles both regarding sanctioning and supervisory proceedings

EU Banking Union and the Single Supervisory Mechanism is a crucial resource for practitioners in European law and finance and banking law, as well as public servants, industry specialists and policymakers in the banking and financial sectors. Scholars and students in these fields will also benefit from its valuable insights.
