Article 2General principles

1.

Corrective measures shall be imposed on SIPS operators in accordance with Article 22 of Regulation (EU) No 795/2014 (ECB/2014/28) and the procedure laid down in this Decision.

2.

Competent authorities may initiate the procedure to impose a corrective measure in the following scenarios:

(a)

in case of non-compliance that has been confirmed by an assessment;

(b)

in case of ongoing non-compliance, where no corrective measure has been previously imposed on the SIPS operator;

(c)

where a draft assessment gives grounds to the competent authority to suspect non-compliance that is serious and requires immediate action.

3.

The formulation of corrective measures shall be sufficiently specific to allow a SIPS operator to undertake action without undue delay to remedy or avoid a repetition of its non-compliance.
