The BSG is set up, according to Article 37 of the European Banking Authority (EBA) Founding Regulation, to help facilitate dialogue and consultation with stakeholders on the work of the EBA.
It is composed of 30 members, who represent in a balanced way the credit and investment institutions that operate in the EU, their employees' representatives, as well as representatives of users of banking services, consumers and small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs).
The EBA's BSG meets at least four times a year in London and on its own initiative when necessary. Each member of the EBA's BSG serves for a period of two and a half years and individual terms can be renewed once.
The call for expressions of interest for membership to the BSG is open to candidates representing stakeholders across the European Union. The deadline for application is 15 December 2015.
The final decision on the composition of the BSG will be taken by the EBA's Board of Supervisors by February 2016. Applicants shall be informed accordingly by the end of February 2016 and the composition of the renewed BSG will be made available on the EBA's website.
The first BSG meeting in the new composition is due to be held in April 2016.
