Article 4a 2.

For the purpose of preserving the independence of competent authorities in the exercise of their powers, Member States shall provide for the necessary arrangements to ensure that competent authorities, including their members of staff and the members of their governance bodies, can exercise their supervisory powers independently and objectively, without seeking or taking instructions from supervised institutions, from any body of the Union or any government of a Member State or from any other public or private body. Member States shall ensure that the governance bodies of competent authorities are functionally independent of other public and private bodies. Those arrangements shall be without prejudice to the arrangements under national law whereby competent authorities are subject to public and democratic accountability.

Member States shall ensure that no member of a competent authority’s governance body who is appointed after 11 January 2026 remains in office for more than 14 years. Member States shall ensure that members of a competent authority’s governance body are appointed on the basis of published criteria that are objective and transparent and that those members can be dismissed if they no longer meet the criteria of appointment or have been convicted of a serious criminal offence. The reasons for dismissal shall be made public unless the member of the competent authority’s governance body concerned objects to the publication.

Member States shall ensure that competent authorities publish their objectives, are accountable for the discharge of their duties in relation to those objectives and are subject to financial control in a manner which does not affect their independence.

This paragraph shall be without prejudice to the rights and obligations of competent authorities pursuant to international or European systems of financial supervision, in particular the European system of financial supervision established pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 ( 4 ), the single supervisory mechanism established pursuant to Council Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 ( 5 ) and Regulation (EU) No 468/2014 of the European Central Bank ( 6 ), and the Single Resolution Mechanism established pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 806/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 7 ).
