But Europe s policymakers claim to be making progress toward a so called banking union, which means collective banking supervision, rather than a merger of banks themselves. In September, the European Commission announced a plan to make the European Central Bank the supervisor of all 6,000 of Europe s banks.

The ECB was also unlike older central banks in that it was not seen as a source of support for an integrated but potentially vulnerable banking system. In the late 1980 s and early 1990 s, there were debates about whether the ECB should be responsible for banking supervision and regulation.
