2.As an exception to Articles 7 and 14, credit institutions that have been given a waiver regarding the application of prudential requirements on an individual basis, in accordance with Article 7 or 10 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, shall not be required to report supervisory financial information on an individual basis in accordance with this Regulation. Where credit institutions do not report supervisory financial information on an individual basis in accordance with this paragraph, NCAs shall submit to the ECB any template specified in Annex III or IV of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 680/2014 that they collect in relation to these credit institutions.

3.Where competent authorities, including the ECB, require institutions to comply with the obligations laid down in Parts Two to Four and Parts Six to Eight of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 and in Title VII of Directive 2013/36/EU on a sub-consolidated basis in accordance with Article 11(5) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, those institutions shall comply also on a sub-consolidated basis with the requirements laid down in this Regulation on a consolidated basis.

3a.Where parent institutions apply an individual consolidation method in accordance with Article 9(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, those institutions shall comply with the requirements laid down in this Regulation on an individual basis applying only the individual consolidation method.

4.NCAs and/or national central banks may use the data collected pursuant to this Regulation for any other tasks.

5.This Regulation shall not affect the accounting standards applied by supervised entities in their consolidated accounts or annual accounts, nor change the accounting standards applied for supervisory reporting. As supervised entities apply different accounting standards, only information related to valuation rules, including methods for estimation of credit risk losses, which exist under the relevant accounting standards and are applied by the corresponding supervised entities on an individual or consolidated basis shall be submitted. For these purposes, specific reporting templates are provided for supervised entities applying national accounting frameworks based on Directive 86/635/EEC. Data points within the templates which are not applicable to the respective supervised entities do not have to be reported.
