Article 6Imposition of corrective measures

1.In accordance with Article 22(2) and (3) of Regulation (EU) No 795/2014 (ECB/2014/28), the competent authority may impose corrective measures on a SIPS operator, after taking into account the information provided by the latter. For the avoidance of doubt, where the procedure to impose a corrective measure has been initiated on the basis of suspected non-compliance, a corrective measure shall be imposed only after the relevant decision-making body of the competent authority has endorsed the report identifying non-compliance.

2.Where the ECB acts as a competent authority, a decision to impose corrective measures shall be endorsed by the Governing Council. The decision shall specify the time limit within which the SIPS operator has to implement the corrective measures.

3.Where an NCB acts as a competent authority, a decision to impose corrective measures shall be endorsed by the NCB's decision-making body. The decision shall specify the time limit within which the SIPS operator has to implement the corrective measures. The NCB shall submit a copy of the decision to the Governing Council for information without undue delay.
