How to cover capital and liquidity requirements in resolution? What are the institutional and financial requirements for the Single Resolution Fund and a common backstop? Can professional secrecy guarantees and the right of access in resolution and supervisory contexts be reconciled?

5 II. The European Banking Institute 1. Overview The European Banking Institute (hereafter also EBI or the Institute ) has been created to develop a pan-european research center for banking regulation and supervision, which mirrors the pan-european character and the set-up of the SSM (hub and spokes model). EBI focuses on high-quality research into the legal and economic aspects of banking regulation and supervision. The Institute will focus its work in research projects in the field of law, economics and accounting. The Institute shall endeavor to provide academic input to banking regulators, supervisors and the private sector in Europe. The purpose of the Institute is to conduct high quality research, to distribute knowledge and to promote the dialogue between scholars, regulators, industry representatives and advisors in relation to issues concerning the regulation and supervision of financial institutions and financial markets from a legal, economic and any other related viewpoint. EBI will thus collaborate mainly with European academic institutions and the relevant public and private sector institutions. At a second stage, the EBI endeavors to develop a policy center with the target to establish a new truly pan-european think tank in the area of banking regulation, supervision and banking resolution and any related areas.
