The main goal of the Banking Union was to terminate the connection between banking frailness and indebted sovereigns. Although the SSM and SRM Regulations have been praised as necessary reforms to increase banking supervision and resolution for participating Member States in the Banking Union, they raise important institutional questions regarding the accountability and efficiency of the European Central Bank as a bank supervisor and the SRM’s SRB in coordinating and supervising banks' recovery and settlement.
