EU Parliament should have say in bank supervisor head - ECB Mar 18th 2013, 09:34 BERLIN, March 18 | Mon Mar 18, 2013 5:34am EDT BERLIN, March 18 (Reuters) - The European Parliament should have a decisive say in choosing the chairperson for the upcoming European banking supervisor, European Central Bank board member Joerg Asmussen said on Monday.

But there is concern about a potential conflict of interest between the ECB's role as both supervisor and guardian of monetary policy.
