Decision of the European Central Bank of 29 July 2014 on measures relating to targeted longer-term refinancing operations (ECB/2014/34) (2014/541/EU)

Article 8 U.K. Reporting requirements

1. Participants in TLTROs shall submit accurately completed reporting templates to their NCB in accordance with:

(a) the prescribed content and timelines as approved by the Governing Council and published on the ECB website; and

(b) the guidelines detailed in Annex II.

2. The terms used in the reporting template shall be understood with reference to those terms as defined in Regulation (EC) No 25/2009 (ECB/2008/32).

3. In complying with the reporting requirements to which they are subject in accordance with paragraph 1, participants shall apply the applicable minimum standards for transmission, accuracy, compliance with concepts and revisions specified in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 25/2009 (ECB/2008/32).

[F1 4. If an institution participates in a TLTRO and as long as it has credit outstanding under a TLTRO, it shall be required to submit completed data reporting templates quarterly in accordance with paragraph 1 until all data required to determine the mandatory repayment obligation pursuant to Article 7 has been submitted.]

5. Participants shall submit reporting templates relative to the benchmark reference period prior to first participating in TLTROs within the timelines published on the ECB website for sending completed reporting templates to the relevant NCB.

6. Lead institutions of TLTRO groups shall submit data reporting templates reflecting aggregated data across all members of the TLTRO group. The lead institution's NCB or an NCB of a member of a TLTRO group may, subject to coordination with the lead institution's NCB, require that the lead institution submits disaggregated data for each individual group member.

7. Where changes to the composition of a TLTRO group have been recognised in accordance with paragraph 5 or 6 of Article 3, the lead institution shall submit reporting templates to determine the relevant borrowing allowance and the applicable benchmark reflecting the new composition of the TLTRO group within the timelines published on the ECB website for sending completed reporting templates to the relevant NCB.

[F1 8. Unless it has repaid all amounts outstanding under its TLTROs in accordance with Article 6(2), each participant in TLTROs shall be required to have an annual examination of accuracy in respect of data reported in accordance with paragraph 1. This exercise, which could take place in the context of an annual audit, may be carried out by an external auditor. Instead of using an external auditor, participants may make plans for equivalent arrangements, as approved by the Eurosystem. The participant's NCB shall be informed of the result of this examination. In the case of a TLTRO group participation, the results shall be shared with the NCBs of the TLTRO group members. At the request of the participant's NCB, detailed results of the examinations carried out under this paragraph shall be provided to that NCB and, in the case of group participation, subsequently be shared with the NCBs of the TLTRO group members.]

9. Information on the composition of the TLTRO groups will be stored in the Register of Institutions and Affiliates Database (RIAD), to be shared across the Eurosystem.
