Résumé :
[en] Executive bodies can acquire constitutive powers,even if subject to detailed substantive strictures.
Constitutive powers give executive bodies the possibility to transform normative understandings
of the meaning of norms and of the goals of public action into legal forms. These bodies thus
engage in a jurisgenerative process that enables them to progressively delimit their legal mandates
in reaction to socio-economic and political realities. The article illustrates this argument
by examining the power of the EU Single Resolution Board (SRB) to determine the resolution
of a bank in crisis. It concludes that, in view of constitutive powers, the normative demands
that the EU legal system places on executive and administrative bodies must be reconsidered.
On that basis and to that effect, mechanisms of accountability should be reconceptualised and
reoriented.
