The European Supervisory Authorities have issued draft Regulatory Technical Standards to ensure consistent application of the Financial Conglomerates Directive regarding risk concentration and intra-group transactions. These standards define significant risk exposures and transactions, mandating that financial conglomerates report specific minimum information to coordinators and competent authorities. The rules also establish a coordinated methodology for identifying significant risks and outline supervisory measures to address contagion, conflicts of interest, and capital double gearing.
