Digitalisation of forms for qualifying holdings and European passport notifications via ECB IMAS Portal
As of 27 September 2021, proposed shareholders must submit notifications regarding the acquisition or increase of a qualifying holding exclusively through the ECB’s IMAS Portal, rendering paper versions of forms A through C.a invalid. Credit institutions governed by Belgian law subject to direct ECB supervision (SIs) are similarly required to use the IMAS Portal for European passport notifications from that date, while institutions under National Bank of Belgium supervision (LSIs) must transition to digital submission once access is granted. Paper submissions will no longer be accepted except in very exceptional cases for pre-notifications already at an advanced stage before the deadline.
