Where members of the management body do not fulfil the requirements set out in this paragraph, competent authorities shall have the power to remove such members from the management body. The competent authorities shall in particular verify whether the requirements set out in this paragraph are still fulfilled where they have reasonable grounds to suspect that money laundering or terrorist financing is being or has been committed or attempted, or there is increased risk thereof in connection with that institution.
The number of directorships which may be held by a member of the management body at the same time shall take into account individual circumstances and the nature, scale and complexity of the institution's activities. Unless representing the Member State, members of the management body of an institution that is significant in terms of its size, internal organisation and the nature, the scope and the complexity of its activities shall, from 1 July 2014, not hold more than one of the following combinations of directorships at the same time:
one executive directorship with two non-executive directorships;
four non-executive directorships.
For the purposes of paragraph 3, the following shall count as a single directorship:
executive or non-executive directorships held within the same group;
executive or non-executive directorships held within:
institutions which are members of the same institutional protection scheme provided that the conditions set out in Article 113(7) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 are fulfilled; or
undertakings (including non-financial entities) in which the institution holds a qualifying holding.
EBA shall issue guidelines on the following:
the notion of sufficient time commitment of a member of the management body to perform his functions, in relation to the individual circumstances and the nature, scale and complexity of activities of the institution;
the notion of adequate collective knowledge, skills and experience of the management body as referred to in paragraph 7;
the notions of honesty, integrity and independence of mind of a member of the management body as referred to in paragraph 8;
the notion of adequate human and financial resources devoted to the induction and training of members of the management body as referred to in paragraph 9;
the notion of diversity to be taken into account for the selection of members of the management body as referred to in paragraph 10;
the consistent application of the power referred to in the second subparagraph of paragraph 1.
EBA shall issue those guidelines by 31 December 2015.
