Article 9U.K.Non-compliance with reporting requirements

1.If a participant fails to comply with the reporting obligations laid down in Article 8 above:

(a)borrowing limits shall be set at zero where a participant fails to report data for the calculation of borrowing limits for either of the initial or additional allowance by the relevant deadline; and

(b)the full amount of borrowings in respect of all TLTROs shall become payable where a participant fails to report data for the purpose of assessing if mandatory early repayments are applicable and calculating the relevant repayments, as necessary.

Prior to the initiation of a measure pursuant to this paragraph, the concerned participant shall be given an opportunity to provide explanations if it considers that the non-compliance was due to circumstances beyond its control.

2.The provisions in paragraph 1 above shall be without prejudice to any sanction that may be imposed in accordance with Decision ECB/2010/10(1) in respect of the reporting obligations laid down in Regulation (EC) No 25/2009 (ECB/2008/32).

3.Where errors in the data submitted in the reporting templates are identified and notified by either a participant or the NCB, the Eurosystem shall conduct an assessment of the impact of the relevant error and undertake appropriate action, including the possibility of requiring mandatory early repayment.
