The European Banking Authority mandates that competent authorities submit data from a defined sample of credit institutions to monitor the impact of Basel III standards, replacing the previous voluntary exercise with an annual requirement. The sample includes Global and Other Systemically Important Institutions, large institutions with Tier 1 capital of at least EUR 3 billion or total assets of EUR 30 billion, and a representative selection of smaller institutions to ensure coverage of key business models. Competent authorities must submit this data by the second Friday of April each year, with participating credit institutions providing information to authorities by the first Friday of April. The decision establishes specific criteria for sample composition, data quality checks, and transitional provisions for the initial implementation period.

DECISION ON INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR THE MONITORING OF BASEL SUPERVISORY STANDARDS
2. This exercise, which is currently only being carried out on a small sample of credit institutions
and on a voluntary basis, should be extended to a broader and stable set of credit institutions, while having regard to the principle of proportionality, to assist the EBA to effectively represent the interests of Union credit institutions in the BCBS and to provide informed opinions and technical advice to the Commission, the European Parliament and the Council regarding the implementation of the BCBS standards into the Union law also.
3. To ensure the consistency, accuracy and completeness of the data provided and thereby
further enhance the credibility of the exercise within the broader context of the Union data strategy, there is a need to abort the voluntary nature of the exercise to ensure the integrity and high quality of the provided information, the commitment of credit institutions to participate in the exercise as well as the consistency of the data over time.
4. The sample of credit institutions subject to the exercise should be set out by competent
authorities on the basis of criteria in accordance with this Decision. Global and Other Systemically Important Institutions (G-SIIs and O-SIIs) as well as credit institutions whose Tier 1 capital equals or exceeds EUR 3 billion, or total assets equal or exceeding EUR 30 billion, should be included in the sample. Other small and medium-sized credit institutions should be included in the sample in order to increase the representativeness to cover a significant part of Union banking system as well as the key banking business models in each jurisdiction.
5. To compensate for the expansion of the sample and coverage, the decision modifies the semiannual character of the voluntary exercise by requesting information on an annual basis. The
less frequent character of this mandatory exercise will represent a significant burden relief to a number of EU jurisdictions and correspondent credit institutions.
6. When determining the sample, the decision avoids any unnecessary extension of reporting
obligations to credit institutions that have not previously participated in the exercise while, at the same time, it ensures that enough information on the various types of credit institutions by size and business models is made available to the EBA. In particular, the inclusion of a sufficient number of smaller credit institutions and business models ensures that, in the future, the EBA will have the data that allows it to address proportionality considerations in its impact assessments as well as in any technical advice or position taken on the BCBS standards and their application in the Union. In the current circumstances, proportionality assessments can only be based on ad hoc data collections.
7. To ensure that impact assessments can take into account all banking sectors of Member States
irrespective of the structure of each sector and to enhance the level playing field across Member States, as to their participation in the conduct of impact assessments, the sample should represent a minimum percentage of risk-weighted exposure amounts or a number of credit institutions per Member State. Credit institutions that are included, as subsidiaries, in the data reporting of an EU parent institution established in another Member State should be counted in the RWA coverage of the Member State where the subsidiaries are established.
DECISION ON INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR THE MONITORING OF BASEL SUPERVISORY STANDARDS
8. Where the information requested by the EBA is not available to the competent authority, the
EBA may request information by way of a duly justified and reasoned data request directly from the credit institutions, which shall provide the EBA promptly and without undue delay with clear, accurate and complete information. For this reason, if the competent authorities do not have access to the information requested by this Decision, there is a need to set out a direct information request by the EBA to the relevant institution to be submitted through the competent authorities.
9. There is a need to ensure that information set out in this Decision will be obtained from all
relevant credit institutions under the same conditions. To that end, competent authorities, even those lacking access to the information, should collect and submit all relevant information to the EBA even for those credit institutions to which the EBA addresses the direct information request.
10. There is a need to set out dates and frequencies of the submissions and determine how quality
of data will be ensured, confidentiality will be preserved and technical specification will be set out. To that end, the EBA will make available to competent authorities the validation rules, related to additional data quality checks, in advance of the submission dates.
11. There is a need to set out transitional provisions in order to allow the competent authorities to
implement this Decision having regard to the difference between competent authorities that have or can acquire access to the data requested and competent authorities that lack such access and the data request will be made directly to the relevant credit institutions. Has decided as follows:

2. Where Global or Other Systemically Important institutions amount to less than 80% of the total
risk-weighted exposure amounts in a Member State, and where the resulting number of credit institutions is less than 30, competent authorities shall submit Basel data for Large credit institutions, until a percentage of at least 80% of the total risk-weighted exposure amounts, or a sample of 30 credit institutions, in that Member State is achieved.
3. Where Global or Other Systemically Important and Large credit institutions (i) amount to less
than 80% of the total risk-weighted exposure amounts in a Member State, and (ii) the resulting number of credit institutions is less than 30, and (iii) the banking system in that Member State represents at least 0.5% of the total EU risk-weighted exposure amounts, competent authorities shall expand the sample of credit institutions for which they shall submit Basel data by applying sequentially points (a) to (c) below until a percentage of at least 80% of the total risk-weighted exposure amounts, or a sample of 30 credit institutions, in that Member State is achieved or the selection criteria, in points (a) to (c) below, are exhausted:

4. To perform the calculations set out in paragraphs 1 to 3, competent authorities shall use the
COREP template C02.00 column 010 row 010 (unique identification: 38483) dated on 31 December of the year prior to the calculation, as available to EBA on EUCLID2. Where this template is not available or appropriate to be relied upon exclusively, competent authorities may use other data following prior communication and agreement with the EBA.
