The Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs adopted the report by Roberto GUALTIERI (S&D, IT) on the proposal of the Commission for the appointment of a member of the Single Resolution Board.
On 30 January 2019, the Commission adopted a proposal to appoint Sebastiano Laviola as Member of the Board and Director of Resolution Policy Development and Coordination in the Single Resolution Board and transmitted that proposal to Parliament.
The committee responsible then proceeded to evaluate the credentials of the proposed candidate for the functions of member of the Single Resolution Board. On 26 February 2019, the committee held a hearing with Sebastiano Laviola, at which he made an opening statement and then responded to questions from the members of the committee.
On this basis, the committee recommended that the European Parliament approve the Commission’s proposal for the appointment of Sebastiano LAVIOLA (IT) as member of the Single Resolution Board for a period of five years.
It is important to note that despite the numerous calls made by Parliament to respect gender balance when presenting a list of candidates, all candidates were men. The committee stressed that all EU and national institutions and bodies should implement concrete measures to ensure gender balance.
