Consultation · EBA · 9 Jan 2024
The European Banking Authority proposes to repeal Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/98 and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/99, replacing them with updated regulatory and implementing technical standards on the functioning of supervisory colleges. The draft standards expand the scope of supervisory colleges to include mixed financial holding companies, intermediate EU parent undertakings, and groups with cross-border subsidiaries in third countries. They mandate enhanced information exchange regarding early warning signs and adverse material effects on risk profiles, and require the consolidating supervisor to invite resolution authorities and AML/CFT college leads as observers to improve cooperation.

FINAL REPORT ON DRAFT REGULATORY AND IMPLEMENTING TECHNICAL STANDARDS ON SUPERVISORY COLLEGES Regulations. Since the publication of the RTS and ITS on colleges of supervisors in 2016, other types of colleges have been established and therefore the opportunity is also used to clarify in the title of the document that the subject of these Regulations are ‘supervisory’ colleges. Both of the RTS and ITS on supervisory colleges are incorporated into this single Final Report. Next steps The draft regulatory and implementing technical standards will be submitted to the Commission for endorsement following which the RTS and ITS will be subject to scrutiny by the European Parliament and the Council before being published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
FINAL REPORT ON DRAFT REGULATORY AND IMPLEMENTING TECHNICAL STANDARDS ON SUPERVISORY COLLEGES
2. Background and rationale
Cooperation between authorities at both the EU and global level is key to strengthening the supervision of cross-border groups during going concern and emergency situations through the framework of supervisory colleges. As witnessed during the Global Financial Crisis in 2007-2009 but also in the current period with high macroeconomic and geopolitical risks, it is crucial that institutions operating in more than one country are supervised effectively. Supervisory colleges allow supervisory authorities to cooperate closely, share knowledge and use skills and resources more effectively and efficiently which ultimately should lead to a profound supervision of the cross-border group. On the basis of the mandates set out by Article 51(4) and (5) and Article 116(4) and (5) of Directive 2013/36/EU, EBA developed draft Regulations on colleges of supervisors that were adopted by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/98 and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/99 of 16 October 2015. With these Regulations the EBA incorporates the amendments of the CRD V and CRR into the functioning of supervisory colleges and channels in lessons learnt from the implementation of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/98 and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/99 as observed by its continuous monitoring activities in accordance with Article 21 of Regulation (EU) 2010/1093.
2.1 Incorporating the amendments of the CRD V and CRR 2 in these
Regulations on supervisory colleges
Enlargement of the application of the framework of supervisory colleges:
FINAL REPORT ON DRAFT REGULATORY AND IMPLEMENTING TECHNICAL STANDARDS ON SUPERVISORY COLLEGES
FINAL REPORT ON DRAFT REGULATORY AND IMPLEMENTING TECHNICAL STANDARDS ON SUPERVISORY COLLEGES Enhanced information exchange and cooperation with observers In line with the changes in the CRD V, these Regulations on supervisory colleges aim to ensure a consistent and enhanced cooperation and information exchange on a broader scale with the grouplevel resolution authority, the lead supervisor of the AML/CFT college, the third country supervisory authorities where institutions or branches of the group are established that are deemed important, and with the coordinator of the financial conglomerate, if that is different from the consolidating supervisor responsible for the sectoral group-wide supervision. These Regulations require the consolidating supervisor to request notably the aforementioned authorities to become observers of the supervisory college subject to agreement of the terms of their participation by all the members of the supervisory college and, in case of third country supervisory authorities, on the assessment of equivalence of the confidentiality and professional secrecy requirements applicable. These Regulations also clarifies the process of the identification of mandatory and non-mandatory observers. Despite having observership status, their participation in a specific college activity or meeting, or meeting agenda item, should always depend on the topics to be addressed, their relevance for each group entity and for the performance of the tasks of the observers, as well as also on the importance of a group entity for the group. Therefore, in preparation for a college activity or meeting, or agenda item of a meeting, the consolidating supervisor should send the invitation to an observer, if it considers that the topic to be addressed or discussed, is relevant for the performance of the task of the observer. However, the group-level resolution authority should always receive the agenda of the supervisory college meeting for information, even if it is not invited for a particular meeting. Cooperation with resolution authorities/colleges through the group-level resolution authority The CRD requires that resolution authorities and supervisory authorities should not only cooperate in relation to the preparation of resolution plans but also in all other instances where cooperation is required, in going concern and in emergency situations. Thereto these Regulations foresee that, when the topics discussed at a meeting concern the recovery planning, or other item that impacts the resolvability of a group, the consolidating supervisor is expected to invite the group-level resolution authority to this meeting or agenda item. The consolidating supervisor has the task to channel information discussed in the supervisory college to the resolution college, through the group-level resolution authority, on aspects that influence the resolvability and resolution planning, in particular the assessment of the group recovery plan and requirements
following the joint decision. In case of an event of adverse material effect on the risk profile of the group or its entities, that are established in a Member State and are important as determined in accordance with these Regulations, the group-level resolution authority will also be informed if this information is relevant for the performance of its tasks. Finally, it is foreseen that in an emergency situation, the consolidating supervisor when devising a coordinated response shall involve and consider any input provided by the group-level resolution authority. Cooperation with AML/CFT colleges through the lead supervisor of the AML/CFT college In order to enhance the cooperation and information exchange between the prudential and AML/CFT colleges, the lead supervisor of the AML/CFT college shall be requested by the consolidating supervisor to become observer of the supervisory college. This would allow the lead AML/CFT supervisor to
FINAL REPORT ON DRAFT REGULATORY AND IMPLEMENTING TECHNICAL STANDARDS ON SUPERVISORY COLLEGES channel to the supervisory college any issues or risks, with potential prudential implications, identified in the AML/CFT college. Equally when the lead supervisor of the AML/CFT college, based on an invitation by the consolidating supervisor of the prudential college, attends certain sessions/meetings of the supervisory college it will be informed about prudential risks that might impact ML/FT risks. These TSs do not aim to duplicate the tasks of the consolidating supervisor or the lead supervisor of the AML/CFT college. For example, if the consolidating supervisor considers that an item was discussed in detail in the AML/CFT college, in which it participated, the lead supervisor of the AML/CFT college may not be invited for the meeting of the prudential college. Instead, the information gathered by the consolidating supervisor will be channelled to the prudential college by the group risk assessment. Similarly, the lead supervisor of the AML/CFT college can refuse the invitation sent by the consolidating supervisor for a college meeting organised in the prudential college, if it considers that it has already sufficient information on the items to be discussed. Supervisory colleges involving third country supervisory authorities When the CRD V requires the establishment of colleges for third-country groups, the third country supervisory authority will also receive important information from the consolidating supervisor on a going concern basis as well as in preparation for or in emergency situations, when the consolidating supervisor deems it relevant for the performance of the tasks of the third country supervisory authority. These Regulations also provide for the framework for the establishment of supervisory colleges in accordance with Article 116(1a) of CRD V. Notably, for their establishment, the consolidating supervisor should invite the supervisors of all the cross-border subsidiaries of an Union entity, while, for the purpose of Article 116(1), only the important subsidiary in third countries should be invited. For their functioning, these 116(1a) colleges have to apply Articles 112(1), 114(1) and 115(1) of CRD V, in the same way as colleges established on the bases of Article 116(1) CRD. Conversely, they do not have to apply any provision based on Article 113 CRD. Therefore, there is no need to establish dedicated provisions or procedures for the functioning of colleges established on Article 116(1a) of that Directive.
COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 20xx/xx of date month year supplementing Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards specifying the general conditions for the functioning of supervisory colleges, and repealing Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/98 (Text with EEA relevance) THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Having regard to Directive 2013/36/EU of 26 June 2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council on access to the activity of credit institutions and the prudential supervision of credit institutions, amending Directive 2002/87/EC and repealing Directives 2006/48/EC and 2006/49/EC 3 , and in particular to Article 51(4), second subparagraph, and Article 116(4), third subparagraph, thereof, Whereas:
(1) On the basis of the mandates set out by Article 51(4) and Article 116(4) of Directive 2013/36/EU, the European Banking Authority (EBA) developed draft regulatory technical standards that were adopted by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/98 of 16 October 2015, supplementing Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards for specifying the general conditions for the functioning of colleges of supervisors 4 . (2) That Delegated Regulation specifies rules and conditions for performing the mapping of a group, setting up a college, establishing written coordination and cooperation arrangements, requesting authorities that are involved in the supervision of a group entity and EBA to become members of the supervisory college and notably third country supervisory authorities, public authorities or bodies which are responsible for supervision of markets in financial instruments, the prevention of the use of the financial system for money laundering and terrorist financing, the resolution or consumer protection to become observers. On an ongoing basis, that Delegated Regulation also provides the mechanisms for interacting and coordinating supervisory actions, including the development of a college supervisory examination programme, between the 3 OJ L 176, 27.6.2013, p. 338. 4 OJ L 21, 28.1.2016, p. 2.
consolidating supervisor and college members. This cooperation facilitates the identification of early warning signs, potential risks and vulnerabilities for the group and its entities and for the system in which they operate and ensures coordinated supervisory activities in going concern and in preparation for and during emergency situations, including for group recovery planning and contingency planning purposes and for providing coordinated input to the resolution college. (3) Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/98 should be amended to take into account Regulation (EU) 2019/876 of the European Parliament and the Council 5 and Directive (EU) 2019/878 of the European Parliament and the Council 6 , which amended the prudential requirements relevant for supervisory colleges as set out by Directive 2013/36/EU. (4) To reflect that compliance with prudential requirements is ensured on a consolidated basis throughout the group, that Delegated Regulation should also be modified to include mixed financial holding companies and financial holding companies approved under Article 21a of Directive 2013/36/EU, as well as intermediate EU parent undertakings established under Article 21b of that Directive, in the framework of the college. In particular, where the relevant competent authority has approved, under Article 21b(2) of Directive 2013/36/EU, the set-up of two intermediate EU parent undertakings belonging to the same third-country group, two supervisory colleges might be set up. Each college, through the participation of the consolidating supervisor or group supervisor, where applicable, as an observer of the other college, should ensure cooperation to achieve efficient and effective supervision of third-country groups operating in the Union. (5) To ensure the appropriate involvement of third-country authorities in supervisory colleges, where all the cross-border subsidiaries of an institution are authorised in third countries, a college should be set up pursuant to Article 116(1a) of Directive 2013/36/EU, in order to coordinate information sharing and supervisory activities in going concern and emergency situations, and to establish the written coordination and cooperation arrangements. In this case, notably the supervisory authorities of all third countries where institutions are authorised must be invited to become observer of the supervisory college. On the contrary, colleges established on the basis of Article 116(1) should only invite supervisory authorities of third countries where institutions, that are deemed important for the group, are authorised. In any case, when third-country supervisory authorities are requested to become observers of the supervisory college, they should be subject to confidentiality requirements equivalent to those of the EU. (6) Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/98 should also take into account Regulation (EU) 2019/2033 of the European Parliament and the Council that amended the definition Regulation (EU) 2019/876
of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2019 amending Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 as regards the leverage ratio, the net stable funding ratio, requirements for own funds and eligible liabilities, counterparty credit risk, market risk, exposures to central counterparties, exposures to collective investment undertakings, large exposures, reporting and disclosure requirements, and Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 (OJ L 150, 7.6.2019, p. 1..) 6 Directive (EU) 2019/878 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2019 amending Directive 2013/36/EU as regards exempted entities, financial holding companies, mixed financial holding companies, remuneration, supervisory measures and powers and capital conservation measures (OJ L 150, 7.6.2019, p. 253.)
of institution applicable in Directive 2013/36/EU, excluding investment firms from it. Where Article 1(2) or 1(5) of that Regulation applies, investment firms are however supervised for compliance with prudential requirements under Titles VII and VIII of Directive 2013/36/EU. Therefore, reference to “institution” shall be understood as including investment firms to which Article 1(2) or 1(5) of Regulation (EU) 2019/2033 7 applies. (7) Under Article 21 of Regulation (EU) 1093/2010 8 , the EBA monitors the functioning of supervisory colleges to foster convergence and consistency in the application of Regulation (EU) 575/2013 and Directive 2013/36/EU, as well as Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/98 and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/99 9 . The results of the EBA’s monitoring concluded that aspects of the operational arrangements of the supervisory college, for example, concerning the regular exchange of the early warning indicators, or the cooperation with the resolution authorities or the AML/CFT authorities, still require further strengthening. Therefore, the results of such monitoring have been taken into account and the role of the supervisory college as a tool for information exchange among members have been enhanced, as well as its cooperation and coordination with observers, including other sectoral colleges. (8) It has been specified that, in case of identification of early warning signs, potential risks and vulnerabilities for the group and its entities, including any event of adverse material effect on the risk profile of the group or its entities thereof or the imposition of early intervention measures; or for the system in which they operate, and in case of emergency situations, an enhanced information exchange should be performed in the college. (9) To enhance the cooperation and information exchange between the prudential supervisors and other authorities involved in the supervision of a group, and ensure the sharing of information for the fulfilment of each other`s tasks, the group-level resolution authority, the lead supervisor of the AML/CFT college, the supervisory authorities of third countries where important institutions or branches are established and the supervisory authority where a second intermediate EU parent undertaking is established, or the coordinator of the financial conglomerate, if that is different from the consolidating supervisor and when they are identified by the consolidating supervisor, notably, should be requested to become observers in the supervisory college. This status of observer opens up the possibility for these authorities to be invited to college meetings, when their presence is deemed relevant considering the agenda of the meeting. Regulation (EU) 2019/2033 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 November 2019 on the prudential requirements of investment firms and amending Regulations (EU) No 1093/2010, (EU) No 575/2013, (EU) No 600/2014 and (EU) No 806/2014 (OJ L 314,
5.12.2019, p. 1). Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 establishing a European Supervisory Authority (European Banking Authority), amending Decision No 716/2009/EC and repealing Commission Decision 2009/78/EC (OJ L 331 15.12.2010, p. 12). Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/99 of 16 October 2015 laying down implementing technical standards with regard to determining the operational functioning of the colleges of supervisors according to Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 21, 28.1.2016, p. 21).
(10) The attendance of observers at a supervisory college meeting, or participation in a particular agenda item should depend on the topics to be discussed or addressed. The consolidating supervisor should decide what information is relevant for the observers and involve the observers in the relevant college meeting or activity accordingly. When a topic discussed at a meeting is related to the group recovery planning or other item that impacts the resolvability of a group, the group-level resolution authority should be invited. When appropriate, the consolidating supervisor should involve the group-level resolution authority in the information exchange and assessment of the situation. (11) The consolidating supervisor may request some authorities, other than members, to become observers of the supervisory college. If they accept the request, their attendance at each supervisory college meetings should be decided by the consolidating supervisor depending on the items to be discussed or addressed at that particular meeting. (12) Supervisory college members should discuss and agree on the scope and level of involvement of observers, if any. To enhance the cooperation and information exchange with the observers, including with the group-level resolution authority and the AML/CFT lead supervisor where relevant, the written coordination and cooperation arrangements should describe the framework for cooperation and information to be exchanged with each one of them. The written arrangements should also cover agreements between college members involved in specific college activities, such as those performed through specific substructures of the supervisory college. (13) To promote collaboration within the supervisory college and to contribute to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the group supervision, the consolidating supervisor and the members of the supervisory college shall discuss, and on a voluntary basis, agree on entrustment of tasks and, delegation of responsibilities, where that is relevant. (14) Each supervisory college should decide on the exact sets of information to be exchanged and periodically updated, listing them in the written coordination and cooperation agreement. On this basis, supervisory college members and, where relevant, observers should exchange the values of quantitative and qualitative indicators regularly to enhance the supervisory college’s capacity to identify increasing risks and vulnerabilities. Furthermore, the written coordination and cooperation arrangements should provide for the processes for coordinating the relevant input, as well as the responsibilities and role of the consolidating supervisor in communicating that input to observers. In addition and in order to ensure that information exchange is triggered between the consolidating supervisors and the members of the supervisory college when the group or its entities are impacted by an event of adverse material effect, it is requested that the
consolidating supervisor and the members of the college describe the main characteristics of such event in the written coordination and cooperation arrangement, taking into account the specificities of the group, and agree on the set of information that shall be exchanged, if such event materialises. (15) For the purpose of collecting and sharing the relevant information within the college, college members should exchange all information necessary to facilitate the exercise
of the tasks of the college included in Article 112 and 113 of Directive 2013/36/EU.
For the same purpose, the consolidating supervisor should share with the members of the supervisory college information received from the college, set up in accordance with Article 119(1) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 (MiCAR) 10 , when this information is relevant for the performance of the tasks included in Article 112 of Directive 2013/36/EU, notably for the planning and coordination of supervisory activities and in Article 113 of that Directive, notably for performing the group risk assessment and reaching joint decisions. (16) Given the several amendments to be made, Delegated Regulation 2016/98 should be repealed and replaced in the interest of clarity. Therefore, references to that Delegated Regulation 2016/98 should be construed as references to this Regulation. (17) This Regulation is based on the draft regulatory technical standards submitted by the European supervisory authority (European Banking Authority) (EBA) to the Commission. (18) The EBA has conducted open public consultations on the draft regulatory technical standards on which this Regulation is based, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the opinion of the Banking Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010. HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 20xx/xx of date month year laying down implementing technical standards with regard to determining the operational functioning of the colleges of supervisors according to Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, and repealing Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/99 25 (Text with EEA relevance) THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Having regard to Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on access to the activity of credit institutions and the prudential supervision of credit institutions, amending Directive 2002/87/EC and repealing Directives 2006/48/EC and 2006/49/EC 26, and in particular Articles 51(5), second subparagraph, and 116(5), third subparagraph, thereof, Whereas:
(1) On the basis of the mandates set out by Article 51(4) and Article 116 (4) of the Directive 2013/36/EU, the European Banking Authority (EBA) developed draft implementing technical standards that were adopted by the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/99 of 16 October 2015, laying down implementing technical standards with regard to determining the operational functioning of the colleges of supervisors according to Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council 27 . (2) The Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/99 specifies the process of establishing and updating the mapping of the group entities in the Union and third countries, the steps to perform for the establishment of the college, including the invitation to the members and the agreement on the terms of participation of the observers between the consolidating supervisor and the members of the college, before their invitation. That Regulation also provides the various operational arrangements of the college that allow it to deliver on 25 Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/99 of 16 October 2015 laying down implementing technical standards with regard to determining the operational functioning of the colleges of supervisors according to Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 21, 28.1.2016, p. 21). 26 OJ L 176, 27.6.2013, p. 338. 27 OJ L 21, 28.1.2016, p. 21.
the tasks as set out by the Directive 2013/36/EU and the Commission Delegated Regulation 2016/98 28, including the conclusion and amendment of the college written coordination and cooperation arrangement, the organisation of college meetings, the framework for exchanging information between the consolidating supervisor, the college members and observers and the planning and coordination of supervisory activities in going concern as well as in preparation for and during emergency situations. (3) As the Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/99 provides for the operational arrangements of supervisory colleges, it should be amended together with the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/98 in order to take into account Regulation (EU) 2019/876 of the European Parliament and Council 29 and Directive (EU) 2019/878 of the European Parliament and Council 30, which amended the prudential requirements relevant for supervisory colleges as set out by Directive 2013/36/EU. (4) As the mapping of the group of institutions and then the establishment of the supervisory college should ensure cooperation between competent authorities and relevant observers, the mapping template should be amended to considers the set-up of college where a second intermediate EU parent undertaking is established pursuant to Article 21b of Directive 2013/36/EU, the set-up of colleges grounded by other sectoral legislation (e.g AML/CFT) and open the possibility for them to participate in the supervisory college as observers. (5) The steps that the consolidating supervisor should follow when requesting authorities to become observers of the supervisory college should be amended in order to reflect the changes put forward by the Delegated Regulation 20xx/xx[PO Please insert the number of the new Commission Delegated Regulation repealing Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/98 of 16 October 2015 supplementing Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards for specifying the general conditions for the functioning of colleges of supervisors (OJ L 21, 28.1.2016, p. 2)], in particular allowing for the differentiation between the mandatory and non-mandatory observers of the supervisory college. In any case, when the consolidating supervisor intends to request relevant authorities to become observers of the supervisory college, it needs to ensure that the members of the college are informed in advance of that intention and are allowed appropriate time in order to assess, agree on, or in case of non-mandatory observers, object to this proposal. For ensuring that the process is managed in an appropriate manner, the consolidating supervisor should first request the authorities eligible for becoming members of the college, and then it should proceed with sending request to observers of the college. (6) While the process of concluding and amending the written coordination and cooperation 28 Commission Delegated Regulation (EU)
2016/98 of 16 October 2015 supplementing Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards for specifying the general conditions for the functioning of colleges of supervisors (OJ L 21, 28.1.2016, p. 2). 29 Regulation (EU) 2019/876 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2019 amending Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 as regards the leverage ratio, the net stable funding ratio, requirements for own funds and eligible liabilities, counterparty credit risk, market risk, exposures to central counterparties, exposures to collective investment undertakings, large exposures, reporting and disclosure requirements, and Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 (OJ L 150, 7.6.2019, p. 1). 30 Directive (EU) 2019/878 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2019 amending Directive 2013/36/EU as regards exempted entities, financial holding companies, mixed financial holding companies, remuneration, supervisory measures and powers and capital conservation measures (OJ L 150, 7.6.2019, p. 253).
arrangements (WCCA) remains intact, the common template of the WCCA as included in Annex II of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/99, that is designed to ensure a consistent approach across supervisory colleges, in terms of structure and provisions covered, should be updated to reflect the terms of participation of the various observers of the supervisory college and the inclusion of the description of the event of adverse material effect on the risk profile of the group and its entities and the agreed set of information that shall be exchanged if such event materialises. (7) The new framework should also consider lessons learned from recent events when supervisory college meetings had to be transferred to virtual channels. While recognising the various supervisory tasks that the consolidating supervisor and other members of the college need to perform and their complexity, supervisory colleges should be equipped with the flexibility to decide on the format of the college meeting they organise in order to further enhance the efficient and effective functioning. Therefore, supervisory colleges should be allowed to hold meetings in virtual format if that fits with the objectives of the meeting. Physical meetings should be organised when beneficial for reaching the objectives of the meeting, in particular for the purpose of reaching joint decision on institution-specific prudential requirements in accordance with Article 113 of Directive 2013/36/EU and on the assessment of the group recovery plan in accordance with Article 8 of Directive 2014/49/EU 31 . (8) With the extension of the scope of the supervisory college as a tool for information exchange, cooperation and coordination, with the aim to protect the interests of depositors and investors in their Member States and to protect the financial stability within the European Union, the information exchange with the observers, in particular with the grouplevel resolution authority or the resolution authority of the home Member State, has been enhanced. Therefore, the consolidating supervisor should transmit a particular piece of information to the observers of the supervisory college, if the consolidating supervisor deems it relevant for the performance of their tasks, including when a group entity infringes or due to a rapidly deteriorating financial condition, is likely in the near future to infringe the requirements of the Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 or Directive 2013/36/EU, or in emergency situations or in case of an event of adverse material effect on the risk profile of the group or its entities. (9) In order to facilitate the identification of early warning signs, potential risks and vulnerabilities for informing the group risk assessment report and liquidity risk assessment report, the consolidating supervisor and other college members agree in advance on a set of indicators to be exchanged at least on an annual basis, that are calculated on the basis of the supervisory data that
competent authorities collect in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/451 of 17 December 2020 32 . In order to ensure the operationalisation of the regular information exchange on the indicators identified for the identification of early warning sings, potential risks and vulnerabilities, the template of the written coordination and cooperation arrangement have been updated with 31 Directive 2014/49/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on deposit guarantee schemes (recast) (OJ L 173 12.6.2014, p. 149). 32 Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/451 of 17 December 2020 laying down implementing technical standards for the application of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to supervisory reporting of institutions and repealing Implementing Regulation (EU) No 680/2014 (OJ L 97, 19.3.2021, p. 1.) .
an Annex that should contain the list of agreed indicators.
(10) The establishment and update of the college framework for emergency situations is led by the consolidating supervisor or by the competent authorities of the home Member State who ensure that college members have the possibility to comment and provide their input to the proposed framework. The college specific operational arrangements for the information exchange and cooperation and coordination between the consolidating supervisor and the members of the supervisory college in an emergency situation are described in the WCCA, which should ensure the efficient and effective cooperation and management of an emergency situation. To ensure that the coordinated supervisory response to an emergency situation considers all relevant information for the best possible management of the situation, the involvement of the group-level resolution authority is crucial. Therefore, input from the resolution college should be shared by the consolidating supervisor with the members of the supervisory college and taken into account in the development of the coordinated supervisory response. (11) Given the several amendments to be made, Implementing Regulation 2016/99 should be repealed and replaced in the interest of clarity. Therefore, references to that Regulation should be construed as references to this Regulation. (12) This Regulation is based on the draft implementing technical standards submitted by the European Supervisory Authority (European Banking Authority) (EBA) to the Commission. (13) The EBA has conducted open public consultations on the draft implementing technical standards on which this Regulation is based, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the opinion of the Banking Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council 33 , HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

supervisory examination programme and prepare the joint decisions. Overall, the supervision achieved through the collaboration in the supervisory college should lead to a better supervision of the cross-border group and more consistent supervisory outcomes, compared to a situation in which competent authorities are acting in silo. The solution to the second problem mentioned under point A (problem identification) should equally support the operational functioning of the college by ensuring that information exchange with resolution and AML/CFT colleges, where relevant, takes place.
C. Baseline scenario
The EBA has already delivered on its mandate with its Regulations on supervisory colleges in 2014.
Since then, general practices in the operational functioning of supervisory colleges have been developed and are meanwhile established. The CRD V has come into force in 2019 and the changes in the general functioning of colleges as the setting up of specific supervisory colleges with the involvement of third countries are underway. The EBA baseline scenario is therefore abiding with the existing rules and practices as described in the Regulations on supervisory colleges published in 2015. An important characteristic of the baseline scenario relevant for the options considered below, is the power of the consolidating supervisor to decide whether to invite observers to the college of supervisors. Furthermore, the resolution authorities are not listed as potential observer of the supervisory college in the current Regulations. Lastly, information exchange and cooperation are foreseen for situations in going concern and during emergency 41 situations. It is however not foreseen in case of an event of adverse material effect on the risk profile of the group or its entities, e.g. the COVID-19 pandemic, that are established in a Member State and are deemed important as determined in the Regulations on supervisory colleges. D. Options considered As there are Regulations on supervisory colleges in place there is no high-level assessment of the overall costs and benefits of implementing the new Regulations needed. The EBA has, through its experience in monitoring supervisory colleges established a clear view on further improvements needed as well as the way those could be implemented. 42 The cost-benefit 41 The definition of an “emergency situation” is provided in Article 114(1) CRD which is applicable for the supervisory college. It includes a situation as described in Article 18 of the EBA Regulation 1093/2010 as adopted by the Council (system wide crisis, in the case of adverse developments which may seriously jeopardise the orderly functioning and integrity of financial markets or the stability of the whole or part of the financial system in the Union) or a situation of adverse development in markets, which potentially jeopardises the market liquidity and the stability of the financial system in any of the Member States where the group is active through subsidiaries or significant branches. 42 In 2020, before the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, 56 colleges were reported as active and included in the list of supervisory colleges. Additionally, three active colleges were reported for third-country banking groups at the EEA sub-consolidated level, raising the total number of active supervisory colleges to 59. In 2021, 45 colleges were reported as active and were included in the 2021 list of supervisory colleges. Additionally, three active colleges were reported for thirdcountry banking groups at the EEA sub-consolidated level, raising the total number of active supervisory colleges to 48. In 2022, there were 43 supervisory colleges for EU cross-border
banking groups. Additionally, 2 colleges were reported for third-country banking groups at the EEA sub-consolidated level, raising the total number of supervisory colleges to

analysis focuses on two specific topics on which a decision is needed and for which several technical options have been considered. The decisions to be taken concern i) the participation in the colleges and ii) the information exchange in situations, where there is no emergency situation yet, but an event of adverse material effect on the risk profile of the group or its entities, that are established in a Member State and are deemed important as determined in the Regulations on supervisory colleges, e.g. the COVID-19 pandemic and invasion of the Ukraine by Russia, occurs. Decision 1: Mandatory observership in the supervisory college The decision is whether to make the observership of certain authorities mandatory in the supervisory college and if yes, to which observers? Option 1: Retain the status quo whereby the consolidating supervisor is required to send an invitation only to members to participate in the supervisory college. In this option the consolidating supervisor decides whether to invite resolution authorities, AML/CFT authorities as observers to the supervisory college. This option equals to the baseline scenario. Option 2: To demand the consolidating supervisor to request the group-level resolution authority (or the resolution authority of the home Member State in case of Article 51(4) of Directive 2013/36/EU supervisory colleges) and lead supervisor of the AML/CFT college to become observer of the supervisory college. Option 3: To demand the consolidating supervisor to request all resolution authorities and AML/CFT authorities in a Member State to become observers of the supervisory college. Decision 2: Exchange of information in certain events The decision is whether to introduce a situation in which information must be exchanged and define the relevant recipients of this information. Whether only members or also observers are involved, in particular the group-level resolution authority or the resolution authority of the home Member State, when the information is relevant for them. Option 1: Retain the status quo in which members of a supervisory college are not required to exchange information in situations amongst themselves nor with observers in case of an event of adverse material effect on the risk profile of the group or its entities, that are established in a Member State and are deemed important as determined in the Regulations on supervisory colleges. This situation equals to the baseline scenario. It is assumed in this option as well as in the options 2 and 3 below that there is not an emergency situation declared. Option 2: To require information exchange in case of an event of adverse material effect on the risk profile of the group or its entities, that are established in a Member State and are deemed important as determined in the Regulations on supervisory colleges. It is required to exchange information amongst members of the supervisory college and also with observers, in particular to the group-level
resolution authority or resolution authority of the home Member State, where it is relevant for the performance of the tasks of the observer. Option 3: To require members of a supervisory college to exchange information amongst themselves in case of an event of adverse material effect on the risk profile of the group or its entities, that are established in a Member State and are deemed important as determined in the Regulations on supervisory colleges. However, it is not required to communicate and exchange
information with observers, i.e. nor between the supervisory college and the resolution college through the group-level resolution authority or resolution authority of the home Member State. E. Assessment of the options for the combination of the two decisions Decision 1 (option 1) and Decision 2 (option 1): The status quo (option 1) under both decisions is not further considered as they would not result in an enhancement of the information exchange and cooperation through the framework of supervisory colleges and, therefore, are not in line with the EBA’s policy objectives. Option 1 of Decision 1 would not ensure the reinforced cooperation between resolution authorities and supervisory authorities as well as AML/CFT supervisors and their prudential supervisor counterparts as required by the CRD V, nor it would bring any improvement to the shortcomings identified in EBA`s convergence report regarding the participation, rights and responsibilities of the different types of observers in the college and the arrangements on the cooperation between supervisory colleges with resolution colleges and authorities. 43 It would neither support the consistent functioning of supervisory colleges across the Union as each individual consolidating supervisor would decide whether to request the group-level resolution authority, or resolution authority of the home Member State and the lead-supervisor of the AML/CFT college to become observer or not of the supervisory college and regulate this in their written coordination and cooperation arrangements. Option 1 of Decision 2 is not viable either because it would not bring improvement in information sharing in case the group or its entities face with events that cause material adverse impact on their risk profile. By not including a requirement regarding the exchange of information in an event of adverse material effect on the risk profile of the group or its entities, colleges cannot effectively address a potential situation, which is not yet an emergency situation, but ultimately may turn to that. Precisely by the exchange of the relevant information, including indicators, supervisors can depict the trend in the risk profile of the group and its entities and thus facilitate the early identification of potential risks as required by the regulation. Decision 1 (option 2), Decision 2 (option 2): In this combination of options, the extension of the request to become observer to the supervisory college is addressed only to specific observers and the exchange of information in certain events is mandatory, also in relation to observers if the information is relevant for their tasks. Option 2 for Decision 1 allows for a distinction between authorities that have to be requested (e.g. the group-level resolution authority or the resolution authority of the home Member State and the lead supervisor of the AML/CFT college) and may be requested (e.g. the other resolution and AML/CFT authorities in a Member State) to become
observer of a supervisory college. This option considers the arrangement of cooperation with the resolution authorities through the group-level resolution authority or the resolution authority of the home Member State and with the AML/CFT authorities through the lead supervisor of the AML/CFT college; it requires the consolidating supervisor to request those to become observers in the supervisory college. Even if these authorities shall be requested to become observers in the supervisory college, this does not entail mandatory invitation to participate in all meetings and activities, but only when specific circumstances specified in the Regulations on supervisory colleges are met. 43 Report on convergence of supervisory practices in 2021.pdf (europa.eu).
In relation to option 2 for Decision 2 information is required to be exchanged when an event adversely and materially affect the risk profile of the group or its entities and could give rise to a potential emergency situation. Information exchange and cooperation between supervisory authorities can take place timelier which can improve the management of such situation. The consolidating supervisor and the authorities will encounter some costs for the effort to collect and exchange the relevant information, as potential ad hoc information requests have to be launched by the consolidating supervisor or the members of the college, as was experienced in relation to COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. However, by exchanging information for a more comprehensive risk analysis also improves the common understanding of the situation and helps achieving synergies in the resources of such work in supervisory authorities and limiting unnecessary additional strain on the institutions by eliminating the need for duplicate information requests towards the group and its entities. Confidential information in the event of adverse material effect can be safely exchanged with observers, in particular with the group-level resolution authority or resolution authority of the home Member State but also with the lead supervisor of AML/CFT colleges within the college structure as set out in option 2 for Decision 1, as far as the information is relevant for the performance of their tasks. Decision 1 (option 2), Decision 2 (option 3): In this combination of options the national resolution authorities are not requested to become observers by default, however the consolidating supervisor may decide to request them to become observer of the prudential college if their involvement is deemed necessary. In these options, compared to the combination presented just above, the costs could be potentially high, in particular for the group-level resolution authorities or the resolution authority of the home Member State as in the case of an event of an adverse material effect the timely receipt of information is not ensured. Observers would be excluded receiving relevant information in an event of adverse material effect on the risk profile of the group or its entities which is crucial in the preparation for an effective resolution. Decision 1 (option 3), Decision 2 (option 2): In option 3 for Decision 1 all resolution and AML/CFT authorities in a Member State shall be requested to become observer of the supervisory college. Prescribing that the consolidating supervisor shall request all resolution and AML/CFT authorities in a Member State to the supervisory college as observers, would be in administrative terms burdensome for both the consolidating supervisors and the authorities requested to become observers and it would hamper the efficient functioning of the college. However, in this combination of options, the exchange of information with observers using the
college structure as foreseen in option 2 for Decision 2 is possible. F. Preferred options for each decision Having assessed several combinations of options, Option 2 is the preferred option for both decisions. Option 2 for Decision 1 strikes a good balance because the group-level resolution authority or resolution authority of the home Member State and the lead supervisor of the AML/CFT college are well placed to convey group-wide messages. It can improve the timely cooperation which has been identified as a relatively weak area of the college arrangements regarding recovery and resolution plans and enhances coordination and cooperation. Though in option 2 for Decision 2 the consolidating supervisor, the members of the supervisory college as well as observers, in particular resolution authorities, will have some burden handling the information flow in events of adverse material effect, they will receive a high reward in terms of handling a situation which has material adverse effect on the risk profile of the group and it
entities and could give rise to a potential emergency situation, which seems also proportionate to the risk. Information exchange and cooperation between supervisory authorities can take place timelier which can improve the management of such situation. The consolidating supervisor and the observers receiving information will encounter some costs for the effort to collect and exchange the relevant information. However, by exchanging information for a more comprehensive risk analysis also improves the common understanding of the situation and helps achieving synergies in the resources of such work in supervisory authorities. To support the authorities, an indicative template for information sharing has been developed as proposed in Annex II to the implementing regulation on supervisory colleges.
4.2 Feedback on the public consultation
The EBA has publicly consulted on the draft proposal for these TSs. The consultation period lasted for three months and ended on 30 August 2023. One confidential response was received. This paper presents a summary of the key points and comments arising from the consultation, the analysis and discussion triggered by these comments and the actions taken to address them if deemed necessary. Changes to the draft RTS and ITS have been incorporated. Summary of key issues and the EBA’s response EBA received one confidential response for the public consultation with no general comments. The submitter responses to the specific questions of the consultation, together with the EBA analysis and the actions taken to address them, if deemed necessary, are included in the feedback table.
FINAL REPORT on DRAFT REGULATORY AND IMPLEMENTING TECHNICAL STANDARDS ON SUPERVISORY COLLEGES Summary of responses to the consultation and the EBA’s analysis Comments Summary of responses received EBA analysis Amendments to the proposals General comments No general comment has been received Responses to questions in Consultation Paper EBA/CP/2023/10 Question 1. Do you agree with the preferred option for the combination of the two decisions that have been proposed in section 5.1? Do you have any concerns regarding the preferred option for the combined two decisions? Option 2 for Decision 1 and a modified version of Option 3 for Decision 2 Option 2 for Decision 1 is the most adequate choice, as it differentiates between authorities that must be invited to become observers and authorities than can be invited if the consolidating supervisor deems it necessary. This option guarantees a sufficient level of interaction between the authorities that are most familiar with an entity. Option 3 for Decision 2 would be the most operative solution in terms of information sharing, with one amendment: it should be required to exchange information not only with the members of the college, but also with the authorities who are mandatory observers under our chosen alternative for Decision 1, i.e., the group-level resolution authority and the lead supervisor for AML/CFT. It is required to exchange information in the event of adverse material effect on the risk profile with observers, in particular with the group-level resolution authority or resolution authority of the home Member State but also with the lead supervisor of AML/CFT college, if the information is relevant for the performance of their tasks. However, if the information is not considered to be relevant for these authorities exchanging such information would be unnecessary burden and additional cost for the consolidating supervisor or the other college members, and potentially also for the observers. Thus, the TSs ensure that unnecessary information exchange is avoided. No change
FINAL REPORT on DRAFT REGULATORY AND IMPLEMENTING TECHNICAL STANDARDS ON SUPERVISORY COLLEGES Comments Summary of responses received EBA analysis Amendments to the proposals Question 2. Do you have any other suggestions with regard to the information items to be exchanged in an event of adverse material effect on the risk profile of the group or its entities, that are established in a Member State and are important as determined in accordance with the Regulations on supervisory colleges other than the ones mentioned in the Annex II of the new Implementing Regulations on supervisory colleges? No additional suggestion was provided. Question 3. What kind of information would you expect to be exchanged from the prudential college to the resolution college in an event of adverse material effect on the risk profile of the group or its entities, that are established in a Member State and are important as determined in accordance with the Regulations on supervisory colleges? Supervisory coordination If supervisory collaboration is always desirable, in these situations full coordination is expected, in particular to avoid duplication of information requests addressed to banks and also misalignments between the requests sent to different entities within the same group from different supervisors, where possible. Banks need to focus on managing a crisis apart from responding to supervisory requests. Supervisory information requests, e.g. supervisory reporting is not in the scope of these TSs. However, the TSs provide the process of concluding and amending the written coordination and cooperation arrangements (WCCA), including the description of the event of adverse material effect on the risk profile of the group and its entities and the agreed set of information that shall be exchanged if such event materialises. Accordingly, coordination is foreseen amongst college members on the impacted entities and the set of information to be exchanged. No change. Question 4. Do you have any suggestions how the consolidating supervisor or the member of the college can prepare for identifying tasks for entrustment and potential delegation of responsibilities in the context of the college supervisory examination programme? 44 One could consider situations as the Covid-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Please note that it is assumed that in this situation there is not an emergency situation declared.
FINAL REPORT on DRAFT REGULATORY AND IMPLEMENTING TECHNICAL STANDARDS ON SUPERVISORY COLLEGES Comments Summary of responses received EBA analysis Amendments to the proposals Providing meeting summary After each meeting, colleges share with the bank a summary of the main points discussed and the main areas of concern identified. The key deliverables of supervisory colleges, namely the joint decision on institution specific prudential requirements have to be consulted with the EU parent institution and the institutions of the group, where required by the legislation of a Member State according to Article 3(2)(h) of the Commission Implementing Regulation No710/2014 on institutionspecific prudential requirements. In the framework of such supervisory dialogues, the main outcomes, and concerns of the supervisory discussions, as included in the group and individual risk- and liquidity risk assessment(s) are provided to institutions. No change.
