Joint-seminar organised by the Law Department’s EU Financial and Monetary Law working group and the Robert Schuman Centre 

Stefaan De Rynck (DG FISMA, European Commission) will present a paper on the state of banking union, covering the issues of supervision, resolution and deposit guarantees. The paper reviews competing explanations for the emergence of banking union on the EU agenda. It also discusses the first indications on the effectiveness of banking union, both for a more centralized EU banking policy and for breaking the nexus between national banks and their sovereigns in the context of Euro Area crisis management.
Mr. De Rynck is an EU official who worked with Commissioner Michel Barnier on the creation of the single supervisory mechanism and the new resolution regime for EU banks. He is currently Head of Unit in DG FISMA for free movement of capital and enforcement of financial regulation. He teaches at the Collegio Carlo Alberto (University of Turin) and the College of Europe (Bruges), and has a PhD from the EUI, and has recently published in JEPP on the creation of the banking union. Currently he is drafting a chapter on banking union for a Routledge Handbook on EU Public Policy.

Discussants:

• Manuela Moschella (Associate Professor in International Political Economy, Scuola Normale Superiore, Florence)
• Christy Petit (Law Department, European University Institute)

The session will be chaired and moderated by Pierre Schlosser, Florence School of Banking and Finance

Joint seminar organized by the Robert Schuman Centre and the Law Department’s EU Financial and Monetary Law Working Group. Gabriel Glöckler (ECB) will make a presentation on the changing ECB’s role in the EU governance, focusing on its perceived power concentration as the Bank started to use more controversial non-standard monetary policy tools, became involved in the Troika and eventually was given powers to supervise Eurozone banks. The presentation will address the interplay with politics, questions surrounding the means of holding the ECB accountable and ultimately the Bank’s legitimacy in the evolving EMU set-up. Mr. Glöckler has been with the European Central Bank since 1999 and recently joined the Bank’s senior management as Principal Adviser in the Directorate General Communications, where he focuses, in a deputy spokesman role, on the ECB’s outreach towards the general public, politics, and academia and the strategic direction of communications. Previous positions include Head of the Bank’s General Secretariat, Deputy Head of the EU Institutions Division (and in that capacity, member of the EU’s Economic Policy Committee) and Counsellor/Chief of Staff to the ECB’s Vice-President Lucas Papademos. Mr. Glöckler, who grew up in Leipzig, studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford University and holds a Master’s degree from the College of Europe in Bruges. He is Visiting Professor at the College of Europe, a regular public speaker, and has published in renowned journals, most recently on the creation of banking union. First reactions on the presentation will be provided by:

• Manuela Moschella (Associate Professor in International Political Economy, Scuola Normale Superiore, Florence)
• Deirdre Curtin (EUI, Law Department)

The event will be chaired and moderated by Brigid Laffan (Director, Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies). The event will be held under Chatham House Rules.

This closed-doors, two-days Chatham House executive seminar on Financial Surveillance will (1) take stock of the state of the art in the supervision and resolution of banks and other non-bank actors in Europe; (2) will assess the market impact and developments of the recently implemented prudential and resolution rules and will (3) critically review current oversight gaps and risks and explore possible remedies. Compared to past editions which focussed on the banking sector, this executive seminar will look both at banks and non-banks realities.

The executive seminar will be held in the context of the Florence School of Banking and Finance’s 4th Advisory Council and Scientific Committee Meeting.
