These officials have urged a newly formed ECB Task Force to revisit the criteria that determine whether a bank is "significant" and should fall under direct ECB oversight. A "meaningful reduction" in the number of banks supervised would mark the most substantial change since the ECB's Single Supervisory Mechanism was created after the global financial crisis.
