Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 926/2014

of 27 August 2014

laying down implementing technical standards with regard to standard forms, templates and procedures for notifications relating to the exercise of the right of establishment and the freedom to provide services according to Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on access to the activity of credit institutions and the prudential supervision of credit institutions and investment firms, amending Directive 2002/87/EC and repealing Directives 2006/48/EC and 2006/49/EC(1), and in particular Article 35(6), Article 36(6) and Article 39(5) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) For the purposes of having standard forms, templates and procedures for the notifications to exercise the right of establishment and the freedom to provide services, it is necessary to define some technical terms in order to make a clear distinction between the branch notifications, services notifications, notifications resulting from changes in the particulars of branch notifications and those related to a planned termination of a branch's operation.

(2) The establishment of standard procedures covering the language and means of communication of passport notifications from credit institutions to competent authorities of home and host Member States facilitates the exercise of the right of establishment and the freedom to provide services and the efficiency of the performance of the respective tasks and responsibilities of the competent authorities of home and host Member States.

(3) Technical standards should require competent authorities of home Member States to assess the accuracy and completeness of the submitted passport notifications so as to clarify the respective responsibilities of the competent authorities of home and host Member States and ensure the quality of the passport notifications submitted by credit institutions.

(4) Competent authorities of home Member States should indicate to the credit institutions the particular aspects in which passport notifications are assessed to be incomplete or incorrect to facilitate the process of identification, communication and submission of the missing or incorrect elements.

(5) In order to ensure transparency and timely assessment of submitted passport notifications it is necessary to determine without ambiguity the commencement of the three-month period referred to in Article 35(3) of Directive 2013/36/EU so that the competent authorities of home Member States should make a decision on the adequacy of the administrative structure and the financial situation of the credit institution and communicate the passport notification to the competent authority of host Member States. It is also necessary to determine without ambiguity the commencement of the periods referred to in Article 36(3) and Article 39(2) of Directive 2013/36/EU given to competent authorities of home and host Member States to make their respective decisions and to communicate the relevant information to each other or to credit institutions.

(6) Acknowledgement of receipt of the transmitted branch passport notifications by competent authorities of host Member States is necessary to clarify the date of receipt of the relevant notification, the time period available to competent authorities of host Member States to be prepared for supervising credit institutions and indicate to them any conditions under which, in the interests of the general good, their activities may have to be carried out and the exact date on which the credit institutions will be in a position to establish their branches and commence their activities in the territory of the host Member State.

(7) In order to ensure transparency in the conditions under which, in the interest of the general good, activities may have to be carried out in host Member States, competent authorities of host Member States should inform competent authorities of home Member States of those conditions which impose restrictions on the activities carried out by branches of credit institutions in the territory of host Member States.

(8) The procedures for change in branch particulars notification should also cover the specific case of a planned termination of the operation of the branch as this is considered a major change in branch's operations which needs to be notified to competent authorities of home and host Member States.

(9) The provisions in this Regulation are closely linked, since they deal with notifications related to the exercise of the right of establishment and the freedom to provide services. To ensure coherence between those provisions, which should enter into force at the same time, and to facilitate a comprehensive view and compact access to them by persons subject to those obligations, it is desirable to include certain regulatory technical standards required by Directive 2013/36/EU in a single Regulation.

(10) This Regulation is based on the draft implementing technical standards submitted by the European Supervisory Authority (European Banking Authority) (EBA) to the Commission.

(11) EBA has conducted open public consultations on the draft implementing technical standards on which this Regulation is based, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the opinion of the Banking Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council(2),
