Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 680/20142 lays down uniform requirements for institutions in relation to supervisory reporting to competent authorities for the purposes of Articles 99 and 100, Article 101(4)(a), Article 394(1), and Articles 415 and 430 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013.

Regulation (EU) 2017/2402 of the European Parliament and of the Council3 set up a new framework for securitisation, including a specific framework for simple, transparent and standardised (STS) securitisations. It established preferential treatment for STS securitisations and certain SME synthetic securitisations and set out a framework for a more risk-sensitive regulatory treatment of exposures to securitisations. Implementing Regulation (EU) No 680/2014 needs to be amended to accommodate the reporting on securitisation positions to this new securitisation framework.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1126/20084 was amended by Regulation (EU) 2017/19865 to bring that Regulation in line with the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 16 Leases that the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) published on 13 January 2016. Implementing Regulation (EU) No 680/2014 now also needs to be amended to reflect those amendments.

Competent authorities’ should be able to effectively monitor and assess the institutions’ risk profile and to obtain a view on the risks posed to the financial sector. A high level of non-performing exposures (NPEs) affects the risk profile, profitability and solvency of institutions, ultimately affecting lending capacity to the overall economy. The reporting requirements should therefore be revised to strengthen the ability of competent authorities to assess and monitor non-performing exposures by collecting more granular information on those exposures on a recurring basis and to close identified data gaps.

Moreover, the structure and extent of the expenses of institutions significantly influence the profitability and sustainability of the institutions’ business models. To enable competent authorities to gain deeper insights into those expenses, the reporting framework should be improved.

Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/616 was amended by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/16207 to improve alignment with international standards and facilitate more efficient liquidity management by credit institutions. Implementing Regulation (EU) No 680/2014 should likewise be amended to reflect those amendments in the reporting framework of the liquidity coverage requirements for credit institutions.

Moreover, templates and instructions of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 680/2014 should also be reviewed to reassess the convenience and appropriateness of the memo items included in the templates and instructions during the early years of implementation of that Regulation as well as to correct typos, erroneous references and formatting inconsistencies which were discovered in the course of its application.

Competent authorities should be able to receive information from institutions using templates amended by this Implementing Regulation as soon as possible so that they can exercise their supervisory functions effectively. The new Union securitisation framework becomes fully applicable on 1 January 2020 after transitional provisions expire. Therefore, the revised reporting requirements on own funds and own funds requirements set out in this Implementing Regulation should apply from 30 March 2020. In order to provide institutions and competent authorities with sufficient time to implement the revised reporting requirements on NPEs, debt obligations subject to forbearance measures, the operating and administrative expenses and financial information, which are set out in Annexes III to V of this Implementing Regulation, those revised reporting requirements should apply from 1 June 2020. Finally, taking into account the amendments introduced by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/1620 that apply from 30 April 2019, the provisions of this Implementing Regulation concerning liquidity reporting should apply from 1 April 2020.

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

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 Council8. In accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 15(1) of that Regulation, EBA has not conducted any open public consultation with regard to those parts of the draft implementing technical standards on which this Regulation is based that are either of editorial nature or introduce only a limited number of items in the supervisory reporting framework. Such consultation would be disproportionate in relation to the scope and impact of the draft implementing technical standards concerned.

Implementing Regulation (EU) No 680/2014 should therefore be amended accordingly,
