Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/818
of 17 May 2016
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1030/2014 laying down implementing technical standards with regard to the uniform formats and date for the disclosure of the values used to identify global systemically important institutions according to Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 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,
Whereas:
The disclosure templates used by institutions identified as G-SIIs in accordance with Article 131 of Directive 2013/36/EU should take into account international standards, particularly those issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS).
The template in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1030/2014 mirrors the one used by the BCBS for the data collection exercise for 2015.
The BCBS publishes an updated reporting template in January of each year. In order to promote global consistency in disclosure and transparency in the process of identification of G-SIIs, Regulation (EU) No 1030/2014 should be amended.
Given that the data collection for the identification process in 2016 starts in the first quarter of 2016 and institutions need clarity as to which data must be disclosed, this Regulation should enter into force immediately.
This Regulation is based on the draft implementing technical standards submitted by the European Banking Authority (EBA) to the Commission.
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
