The European Commission initiated a call for expressions of interest to appoint members to the Board of Appeal. This board oversees the European Supervisory Authorities (EBA, EIOPA, and ESMA). The goal is to create a reserve list of qualified individuals for potential vacancies within the Board of Appeal. This reserve list will be valid for five years following its establishment. Being on the reserve list does not guarantee an appointment as a Member or Alternate. Vacancies will be filled by the ESAs' Management Boards, in consultation with their Supervisory Boards, selecting from the list. Nominated candidates may also be questioned by the European Parliament. The application process, including requirements and deadlines, is detailed in the Official Journal of the European Union. Applications were due by noon on June 8, 2026. The Board of Appeal is a shared body established under the ESAs' regulations. Its primary function is to protect the rights of individuals affected by the ESAs' decisions. The Board of Appeal operates independently, although supported by the ESAs' secretariat. It reviews appeals against certain decisions made by the ESAs.
