Decision on reporting of data from NCAs to EBA and EC under SEPA Regulation

The European Banking Authority mandates that national competent authorities submit SEPA payment data exclusively to the EBA via the EUCLID infrastructure to eliminate duplicate reporting to the European Commission. This decision establishes an annual submission deadline of 9 October with a reference date of 31 December, requiring complete and integral data files. The EBA will subsequently share the received data with the Commission through EUCLID, while the underlying EUCLID Decision is amended to include the relevant SEPA regulatory references.

DECISION ON REPORTING OF DATA BY COMPETENT AUTHORITIES FOR THE PURPOSES OF REGULATION (EU) NO 260/2012 AND AMENDMENT OF THE ANNEX TO EUCLID DECISION 2 EBA Regular Use only. In turn, the EBA will make this data available to the European Commission, via its data collection ecosystem EUCLID, as soon as possible after receiving it from the NCAs. This would lower the reporting burden, while also ensuring that both the European Commission and the EBA have the same consistent set of information and necessary data. (3) The EUCLID Decision should apply to the submission of the data by the competent authorities. That is to ensure consistency with, and interaction or comparison with other EBA data, as well as rendering the data suitable for immediate analysis by ensuring a proper format and data quality, as well as to allow for the application of any sequential approach deemed appropriate, for instance as applied in other parts of the supervisory reporting framework, which has proven a more efficient way of achieving better data quality. All data submissions to the EBA should ensure that the file is integral and fully complete since partial data submissions are not expected. (4) Where competent authorities already have some or all of the information to be reported by the PSPs, and allows the PSP not to resubmit it, for cost-efficiency purposes and in line with the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1979, the competent authorities should ensure that the data submitted to the EBA is complete. (5) To ensure an unequivocal identification of the entities reporting, master data should include at a minimum the name and type of institution for which the data is submitted and be reported to EBA in accordance with EUCLID instructions provided by EUCLID Decision. Financial entities referred to in Regulation (EU) 2022/2554 should have provided the LEI of the financial entity maintaining the register of information, as referred to under Annex I to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2956.
