The European Commission's proposal for a Banking Union, originally presented on 6 June 2012 and 12 September 2012, represents a profound structural and regulatory change to the European banking sector, and is one of the most widely debated solutions to the current financial crisis.

Over the past year, the EU has acted decisively to address the systemic issues in European banking, but more remains to be done. The recent introduction of the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) and the allocation of new powers to the European Central Bank (ECB) will radically change the pre-existing pan-European supervisory regime, and the adoption of the Capital Requirements Directive will usher in a new era of regulation for European banks. However, the question of bank recovery and resolution, as well as the proposed Single Resolution Mechanism, remains the subject of intense debate.

Key topics at this conference, which was held in association with McCann FitzGerald and supported by KMPG included:

• The main pillars of the Banking Union
• Crisis management in the EU
• The future shape of banking in Europe
• The future role of central banks
• Corporate governance
• Bank recovery and resolution
• Relevant legislation and proposals, including the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive, the Single Resolution Mechanism and Deposit Guarantee Schemes


For the financial services industry, the policy-community and taxpayers, the stakes at play in completing the Banking Union could not be higher. The Banking Union will not only determine the future shape of the European banking sector, but the future stability of the Eurozone as a whole.

The IIEA is grateful for the support of McCann FitzGerald and KPMG for this conference.
