The European Banking Authority amends its previous decision to align its reporting framework with the incorporated Basel III framework under CRR3 and CRD6. The EBA eliminates the requirement for data submission via Basel monitoring templates from 31 December 2024 onwards to reduce the reporting burden on credit institutions. Competent authorities must instead submit Quantitative Impact Studies data, with mandatory core and EU-specific templates defined in Annex I and non-mandatory templates in Annex III.

(2) To ensure that competent authorities and credit institutions save resources for the implementation and application of the EBA reporting framework and avoid duplication, the EBA should not request the submission of data through the Basel monitoring templates, from 31 December 2024, as reference date, onwards. Further reductions in the reporting burden for credit institutions should be introduced. (3) The EBA should continue collecting data where it intends to assess impacts on the operations of EU credit institutions of post-crisis regulatory reforms arising from the BCBS’s supervisory standards. Moreover, the EBA should also collect data for assessing other EU regulatory mandates and EBA initiatives including those addressing market developments for which there is need for information. 1 OJ L331, 15.12.2010, p. 12. 2 Regulation (EU) 1623/2024 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 May 2024 amending Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 as regards requirements for credit risk, credit valuation adjustment risk, operational risk, market risk and the output floor (OJ L 2024/1623, 19.6.2026, p. 1). 3 Directive (EU) 2024/1619 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 May 2024 amending Directive 2013/36/EU as regards supervisory powers, sanctions, third-country branches, and environmental, social and governance risks (OJ L 2024/1619, 19.6.2024, p. 1).
