Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform
Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals
6:20 pm
Mr. Aidan Carrigan:
No, I am saying that proportionality would be applied in relation to assessing the risk. Our current national supervisor, the Central Bank, supervises on the basis of assessment of risk and applies a PRISM system and decides which banks need more attention. It would be the same at European level. There are not two tiers. Basically, we have a single supervisory mechanism responsible for supervising all banks in accordance with a common rule book across Europe but in some instances the day-to-day supervision would be carried out by the local supervisor in accordance with guidelines set by the single supervisor which has to oversee that and can step in at any time.
