(2) Regulation (EU) No 1072/2013 (ECB/2013/34) requires the separate reporting of data relating to new business volumes of renegotiated loans and, in parallel, paragraph 4 of Part 13 of Annex II to Guideline ECB/2014/15() also requires the provision of data on the interest rates applicable to renegotiated loans.
(3) It is necessary to align the scope of renegotiated loans in Regulation (EU) No 1072/2013 (ECB/2013/34) with Guideline ECB/2014/15, thereby ensuring the appropriate recording of loan renegotiations that occur within the reporting period during which the loan was granted as well as the accurate reporting of new business volumes of renegotiated loans in the case of loans that are not yet fully drawn, i.e. loans taken out in tranches,
