The Executive Board may nominate one or more heads of work units of the ECB to take decisions on the basis of a delegation decision by adopting a nomination decision after having consulted the Chair of the Supervisory Board.

The heads of work units of the ECB referred to in paragraph 1 shall be chosen from among the heads of work units of the ECB involved in carrying out supervisory tasks that are organisationally separated from the tasks of staff involved in carrying out other tasks conferred on the ECB in accordance with Article 25 of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013. The selection of the heads of work units of the ECB shall also take into account the importance of the delegation decision and the number of addressees to whom delegated decisions need to be sent.
