At the European level, sources of law are the regulations, which are directly applicable in all member states, and the directives, which have to be transposed into national law.

Banking supervision is one of the Bundesbank's most important tasks. The objectives and responsibilities of the Bundesbank as a central bank and those of banking supervisors frequently overlap or complement each other, particularly in relation to the financial system.

As part of the SREP, the national competent authorities assess the regulations, strategies and processes enacted by the institutions. They also evaluate the risks they are exposed to and their own funds and liquidity.
