The banking system is an economic sector that is subject to its own legal framework, which has undergone profound changes since the global financial crisis. The passing of new legislation often involves a public consultation phase and submission of a proposal before the final legal document is adopted.

The APB has therefore been drafting responses to the different issues put forward in public consultations. The APB takes positions in direct responses to the European Commission or by participating actively in responses from international organisations, such as the European Banking Federation or International Banking Federation.
