Den 29. januar 2004 blev Det Europæiske Banktilsynsudvalg oprettet. Det skete på baggrund af Kommissionens beslutning af 5. november 2003 om at etablere en niveau 3 komité på området for kreditinstitutter i henhold til den såkaldte Lamfalussy-model.
 
CEBS består af højtstående repræsentanter fra de kompetente tilsynsmyndigheder med kreditinstitutter samt nationalbanker i Europa. Komiteen svarer til CESR (The Committee of European Securities Regulators), som findes på værdipapirhandelsområdet og CEIOPS (The Committee of European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Supervisors), som findes på forsikrings- og pensionsområdet.
 
CEBS´s opgaver vil blandt andet bestå i at rådgive Kommissionen samt arbejde for ensartet implementering af fællesskabsregler og ensartet tilsynspraksis i medlemsstaterne.
 
CEBS har den 2. februar 2004 udsendt følgende pressemeddelelse om omdannelsen:

Committee of European Banking Supervisors (CEBS) holds first meeting


 
On 5 November 2003, the European Commission adopted a Decision[1] establishing the Committee of European Banking Supervisors (CEBS). The Commission Decision entered into force on 1 January 2004, and the first meeting of the new Committee was held on 29 January.
 
CEBS will fulfil the functions of Level 3 Committee for the banking sector in the application of the "Lamfalussy" Process.
 
The role of the Committee is to:
 
-          Advise the Commission, either at the Commission’s request, within a time limit which the        Commission may lay down according to the urgency of the matter, or on the Committee’s own initiative, in particular as regards the preparation of draft implementing measures in the field of banking activities.
 
-          Contribute to the consistent implementation of Community Directives and to the convergence   of Member States’ supervisory practices throughout the Community.
 
-          Enhance supervisory co-operation, including the exchange of information.
 
CEBS is comprised of high level representatives from the banking supervisory authorities and central banks of the European Union.  The EU acceding countries will participate as observers until 1 May 2004.  The EEA countries which are not members of the EU will participate as observers on a permanent basis.
 
The Committee is chaired by Mr José-María Roldán (Banco de España, Spain).  The Vice-Chair is Ms Danièle Nouy (Commission Bancaire, France).  The Chair is supported by a “Bureau”, comprising Mr Andres Ittner (Oesterreichische Nationalbank, Austria), Mr Helmut Bauer (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht, Germany) and Ms Kerstin af Jochnick (Finansinspektionen, Sweden).  The Committee’s Secretariat will be based in London, UK.
