The European Banking Authority proposes amendments to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 650/2014 to align supervisory disclosure requirements with the banking package legislation (CRD V and CRR2) and to exclude investment firms from the current templates in favor of a separate technical standard. The draft requires competent authorities to update aggregate statistical data and other disclosed information by 30 June of each year, replacing previous provisions in Article 5. Specific updates include correcting legal references in Annex I, revising options and discretions in Annex II, incorporating new SREP guidelines in Annex III, and removing obsolete cells and investment firm data from Annex IV. The first reference date for application is expected to be 31 December 2023, with the first publication date set for 30 June 2024.

2. Background and rationale
2.1 Background
FINAL REPORT ON THE DRAFT ITS ON SUPERVISORY DISCLOSURE
5. EBA also implemented Article 143(2) of CRD IV by making the disclosed information
“accessible at a single electronic location”7
. This allows not only EBA and the CAs but also the general public to compare the supervisory approaches taken in different jurisdictions hence promoting convergence of supervisory practices in the Single Market.
6. On 28 May 2019, the ITS on Supervisory Disclosure was amended by Commission
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/912 8
, reflecting the EU supervisory landscape changes, new regulations and guidelines affecting supervisory disclosure in particular:
a) Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) Delegated Act (LCR DA) 9 . b) EBA Guidelines on the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP) 10 . c) The establishment of the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM).
7. Since 2019, CAs have been disclosing the information outlined in the amended ITS on
Supervisory Disclosure on an annual basis.
2.2 Main features of the draft amending ITS
8. It is necessary to further amend the ITS on Supervisory Disclosure due to the fact to:
a) The aggregate statistical data shall be fully aligned with the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/451 11 (ITS on supervisory reporting) with the aim of avoiding additional burden, since CAs can use the data received by the institutions under the above mentioned Implementing Regulation to aggregate and disclose Annex IV of the draft amending ITS. b) On 7 June 2019, the legislation adopting the banking package was published in the EU Official Journal and came into force on 28 June 2019. The package amends rules on capital requirements to reinforce the capital and liquidity positions of institutions, under Directive (EU) 2019/878 12 amending Directive 2013/36/EU (CRD V) and Regulation (EU) 2019/876 amending Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 (CRR2). These changes need to be reflected in the ITS on Supervisory Disclosure. http://www.eba.europa.eu/supervisory-convergence/supervisory-disclosure EUR-Lex - 32019R0912 - EN - EUR-Lex (europa.eu) https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32015R0061&from=EN 10 https://www.eba.europa.eu/sites/default/documents/files/documents/10180/2282666/fb883094-3a8a-49d9-a3db1d39884e2659/Guidelines%20on%20common%20procedures%20and%20methodologies%20for%20SREP%20and%20s upervisory%20stress%20testing%20-%20Consolidated%20version.pdf?retry=1 11 https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32021R0451&from=EN 12 EUR-Lex - 32019L0878 - EN - EUR-Lex (europa.eu)
FINAL REPORT ON THE DRAFT ITS ON SUPERVISORY DISCLOSURE c) There is a separate and specific exercise for investment firms provided by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/389 13. For this reason the information related to investment firms shall be excluded in the CRD templates. The EBA has developed and published the final draft technical standards on supervisory disclosure under Directive (EU) 2019/2034 (‘Investment Firms Directive - IFD’) on 25 June 2021 which was adopted by the European Commission on 8 March 2022. Following the publication of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 2022/389 in the EU Official Journal 14 , CAs shall publish the information referred to in Article 57(1) of Directive (EU) 2019/2034 at a single electronic location by 30 June of each year and shall update the aggregated statistical data reported by 30 June of each year. Nevertheless, the following MIFID investment firms that are subject to CRR/CRD are subject to the ITS on supervisory disclosures:
i. Investment firms referred to in Article 1(2)(a) and (b) of the Regulation (EU)
2019/2033 15(‘IFR’) that are subject to the prudential regime under the CRR;
ii. Investment firms referred to under Article 1(2)(c) of the IFR following the
exercise of the competent authority discretion in Article 5 of the IFD.
iii. Investment firms referred to in Article 1(5) of the IFR.
2.2.1 Update of the Annex I
9. In Annex I it is proposed to correct legal references and remove sections which are no
longer relevant.
2.2.2 Update of the Annex II
10. Annex II on options and discretions available in Union Law has been revised by adding the
options and discretions stemming from the CRR/CRD review. In addition, it is proposed to delete options and discretions addressed to investment firms.
2.2.3 Update of the Annex III
11. Annex III has been updated to incorporate EBA’s new Guidelines on SREP (Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process) (EBA/GL/2022/03) 16 , published in March 2022, which
repealed EBA SREP Guidelines (EBA/GL/2014/13) and the amending guidelines of 19 July 2018 (EBA/GL/2018/03) from 1 January 2023.
2.2.4 Update of the Annex IV

FINAL REPORT ON THE DRAFT ITS ON SUPERVISORY DISCLOSURE
12. In Annex IV it is proposed to delete cells no longer available in the EBA ITS on supervisory
reporting 17 , with the aim of avoiding additional burden, and the cells requesting information of investment firms as there is a separate technical standard exercise stemming from the IFR/IFD.
13. In addition, wrong references in the formula cells, discovered during the application of
current version of the ITS on supervisory disclosure, need to be also corrected. This will enhance the transparency of the ITS, ensure consistency between the templates and instructions and should reduce the level of different interpretations between reporting CAs. 17 https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32021R0451&from=EN

4. Accompanying documents
4.1 Draft cost-benefit analysis / impact assessment
As per Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 (EBA Regulation), any draft implementing technical standards (ITS) developed by the EBA shall be accompanied by an Impact Assessment (IA), which analyses ‘the potential related costs and benefits’. This analysis presents the IA of the main policy options included in this Final Report on the draft ITS amending Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 650/2014 (“the Draft ITS”) with regard to supervisory disclosure. The analysis provides an overview of the identified problem, the proposed options to address this problem as well as the potential impact of these options. The IA is high level and qualitative in nature. A. Problem identification and background
Article 143(1) of the CRD sets out requirements for competent authorities to publicly disclose
certain information (“the supervisory information”), namely their texts of laws, regulations, administrative rules and general guidance adopted in their Member State pursuant to the prudential regulation, the manner of exercise of the options and discretions available, general criteria and methodologies they use in the supervisory review and evaluation, and aggregate statistical data on key aspects of the implementation of the CRD in their Member State. Article 143(3) of the CRD mandates the EBA to develop ITS to determine the format, structure, contents list and annual publication date of this information. Thus, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 650/2014 was adopted by the Commission and published in the EU Official Journal on the 4 June 2014 and then, on 28 May 2019 it was amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/912 in order to reflect the EU supervisory landscape changes, new regulations and guidelines affecting supervisory disclosure. Since then, new legislation as CRD V and CRR2 have been adopted but no amendment of the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 650/2014 was made. Furthermore, aggregate statistical data have not been fully aligned with latest version of the ITS on supervisory reporting. Finally the EBA has already developed and published a separate and specific ITS on supervisory disclosure under Investment Firm Directive on 25 June 2021 (adopted by European Commission on 8 March
2022) for investment firms and this separate treatment for investment firms has not been yet
reflected in the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 650/2014.
B. Policy objectives
The draft ITS amending Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 650/2014 aims at updating the format, structure, contents list and annual publication date of the supervisory disclosure
FINAL REPORT ON THE DRAFT ITS ON SUPERVISORY DISCLOSURE requirements to be in line with the regulatory framework changes since the last update of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 650/2014 made in May 2019.
C. Options considered, assessment of the options and preferred options
Section C. presents the main policy options discussed and the decisions made by the EBA during
the development of the Draft ITS. Advantages and disadvantages, as well as potential costs and benefits from the qualitative perspective of the policy options and the preferred options resulting from this analysis, are provided. Updating the content of the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 650/2014 The EBA considered two policy options regarding the necessity of updating the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 650/2014. Option 1a: not elaborating a new ITS to amend the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 650/2014 Option 1b: elaborating a new ITS to amend the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 650/2014 As briefly mentioned in the rationale, the following three points were not reflected into the current Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 650/2014:
FINAL REPORT ON THE DRAFT ITS ON SUPERVISORY DISCLOSURE of publication of this information remains annual. Thus, it is not envisaged to require additional resources, IT-related costs, etc. for the CAs in regard to work derived of this. Thus, the cost of the implementation of the amending ITS, is potentially negligible. On these grounds, the Option 1b has been chosen as the preferred option Reporting date Specific discussions were held by the EBA on the annual reference date of the publication by NCAs of the information detailed in Article 143(1)(d) of the CRD (i.e. the aggregate statistical data on key aspects of the implementation of the prudential framework in each Member State). Until now, the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 650/2014 requests this publication by the 31 July of each year. Option 2a: Keeping the publication date as already in place (i.e. 31 July of each year) Option 2b: Set the publication date to 30 June of each year. The date of 31 July of each year for updating the information has proven to be inconvenient for CAs in the past. Besides, CAs get supervisory data, which is used for publication of the information, by 11 February each year in accordance with Article 3 of the Commission implementing regulation 2021/451 mandated in Article 430(7) of the Regulation EU 575/2013 as amended (“CRR2”). Furthermore, in their separate specific supervisory disclosure regulation of March 2022 (Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/389), the annual publication date has already been set as at 30 June for investment firms. Choosing this option for credit institutionsimplies much better timing for competent authorities and should hence reduce their publication burden. On the cost side, no additional costs for institutions are envisaged in relation to this date given that it remains addressed to CAs. On the CAs side, no additional costs are foreseen with this change of timing. Based on the above considerations, the Option 2b has been chosen as the preferred option D. Conclusion The Draft ITS will amend the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 650/2014 and as such update the supervisory disclosure requirements in accordance with the regulatory changes that arose since the last amendment of 2019. For the institutions, the Draft ITS amendments are not expected to trigger costs given that the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 650/2014 remains addressed to CAs. For the CAs it is not envisaged to require additional costs. Overall, the impact assessment on the Draft ITS suggests that the expected benefits are higher than the incurred expected costs.
FINAL REPORT ON THE DRAFT ITS ON SUPERVISORY DISCLOSURE
4.2 Feedback on the public consultation
The EBA publicly consulted on the draft proposal contained in this paper.
The consultation period lasted for one month and ended on 9 March 2023. 2 responses were received, of which 1 was published on the EBA website. This paper presents a summary of the key points and other comments arising from the consultation, the analysis and discussion triggered by these comments and the actions taken to address them if deemed necessary. Summary of key issues and the EBA’s response The consultation period lasted one month and during the consultation, three issues were consulted upon. In this respect, only one response was received in relation to one question where additional breakdown requested to be disclosed would go beyond the scope of the mandate of this ITS which states the key aspects of the prudential framework.
FINAL REPORT ON THE DRAFT ITS ON SUPERVISORY DISCLOSURE Summary of responses to the consultation and the EBA’s analysis Comments Summary of responses received EBA analysis Amendments to the proposals General comments Following the consultation, EBA received a limited number of responses, and no changes were made to the proposal. Responses to questions in consultation paper EBA/CP/2023/02 Question 1. Are the instructions and templates clear to the respondents? No responses were received Question 2. Do the respondents identify any discrepancies between these templates and instructions and the calculation of the requirements set out in the underlying regulation? One respondent suggested that the data for “Exposures and losses from lending collateralised by immovable property” within Part 2 of Annex IV shall be additionally disclosed separately for each national immovable property market. If there are no material exposures for a national real estate market, disclosure can be omitted.” One respondent suggested considering requiring CAs to disclose more granular breakdown information in relation to the exposure and loss amounts related to property financing, as reported by institutions with regard to Article 430 of the CRR. In particular, it was suggested that disclosures should cover aggregated data for all national immovable property markets. The EBA is of the view of enhancing the existing disclosure of the information in relation to the property market’s characteristics. However, the disclosure of that information would go beyond the mandate of these ITS, which relate to the key aspects of the prudential framework. No amendment. Question 3. Do the respondents agree that the amended ITS fit the purpose of the underlying regulation? No responses were received
