During the political horse-trading that preceded the creation of the EBA (together with two equivalent bodies for securities and insurance), it was agreed that the new authority would be based in London. That seemed logical at the time, but not if the EBA’s role is to be broadened.
欧洲委员会有优势，但也有问题。在为了创建EBA（以及其他两家证券和保险业的对等机构）而进行的政治讨价还价中，各方同意将新机构设于伦敦。在当时，这似乎是理所当然之事，但如果EBA的权限得到扩张就不是这样了。欧元区监管机构怎么能设在欧元区之外呢？
