Recital 5

(5)In order to facilitate the decision-making process and enable the ECB to efficiently respond to changes in the situation of supervised entities which affect the conduct and scope of planned inspections, a delegation decision is necessary in relation to the adoption of such decisions amending SEP decisions. Such a delegation decision should allow for cases where a single delegated decision includes amendments to more than one planned inspection. The Court of Justice of the European Union has recognised that delegation of powers may be necessary to enable an institution required to adopt a considerable number of decisions to perform its duties. Similarly, it has recognised the need to ensure that decision-making bodies are able to function as a principle inherent to all institutional systems ⁵ .
