Yesterday’s decision follows a hearing of the SRB Board in its plenary session on 10 October 2017. The European Commission proposal was transmitted to the European Parliament for approval on 4 December 2017, after which the Council was informed. The European Parliament approved the proposal on 12 December 2017.
Following that approval, the Council adopted yesterday an implementing decision to extend the mandate for additional 5 years, until 22 December 2022.
