Key Points
- Compliance Deadline: The guidelines became applicable on 19 February 2018, with a two-month notification period.
- Non-Compliance Reasons: Some authorities, like the Slovak National Bank, believe existing disclosure structures are sufficient and do not require further standardization.
- Exceptions: The French ACPR does not comply with paragraph 71 of the guidelines due to a conflict with Article 49.1 of the CRR.
- UK Specificity: The PRA stated that the guidelines are outside its competence, while the FCA responded to the EBA, indicating compliance.
- Transparency Note: Authorities that continue to intend to comply after the application date are considered non-compliant unless specific conditions are met.
Notes
- NCAs are required to inform the EBA of their compliance status with each guideline or recommendation.
- The EBA does not take responsibility for the accuracy of the information provided by NCAs.
- For detailed information on a specific authority's stance, direct contact with the respective competent authority is recommended.
