DECISION (EU) 2023/1680 OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK

of 17 August 2023

on the reporting of funding plans of supervised entities by national competent authorities to the European Central Bank

(ECB/2023/19)

(recast)

THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 of 15 October 2013 conferring specific tasks on the European Central Bank concerning policies relating to the prudential supervision of credit institutions (1), and in particular Article 6(2) thereof,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 468/2014 of the European Central Bank of 16 April 2014 establishing the framework for cooperation within the Single Supervisory Mechanism between the European Central Bank and national competent authorities and with national designated authorities (SSM Framework Regulation) (ECB/2014/17) (2), and in particular Article 21 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal of the Supervisory Board,

Whereas:

(1) The European Banking Authority (EBA) Guidelines on harmonised definitions and templates for funding plans of credit institutions under Recommendation of the European Systemic Risk Board of 20 December 2012 (ESRB/2012/2) (EBA/GL/2019/05) (3) (hereinafter the ‘EBA 2019 Guidelines’) harmonise the templates and definitions to facilitate the reporting of funding plans by credit institutions.

(2) The EBA 2019 Guidelines are addressed to competent authorities, as defined in Article 4, point (2), of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), and to financial institutions that report funding plans to their competent authorities in accordance with the national implementation framework of Recommendation ESRB/2012/2 of the European Systemic Risk Board (5).

(3) For the exclusive purpose of carrying out the tasks conferred on it by Article 4(1) and 4(2) and Article 5(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013, the ECB is considered, as appropriate, the competent authority or the designated authority in the participating Member States as established by Union law. Therefore, the ECB is amongst the addressees of the EBA 2019 Guidelines.

(4) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013, and Article 21 of Regulation (EU) No 468/2014 (ECB/2014/17), both the ECB and national competent authorities (NCAs) are subject to an obligation to exchange information. Without prejudice to the ECB’s power to directly receive reported information from supervised entities, or to have direct access to that information on an ongoing basis, the NCAs are required to specifically provide the ECB with all information necessary for the purposes of carrying out the tasks conferred on the ECB by Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013.

(5) In order to comply with the EBA 2019 Guidelines, the ECB should ensure that supervised entities report their funding plans in accordance with the harmonised templates and definitions referred to in the funding plan template attached to the EBA 2019 Guidelines. To this end, Decision (EU) 2017/1198 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2017/21) (6) establishes harmonised procedures for the submission of those funding plans to the ECB as well as details on the timing of the submission of information and the quality checks performed by NCAs before submitting information to the ECB.

(6) For the exercise of the ECB’s tasks in respect of supervisory reporting, Decision ECB/2014/29 of the European Central Bank (7) specifies the manner in which NCAs submit to the ECB certain information that they receive from supervised entities and the timing of such submission.

(7) Decision ECB/2014/29 is repealed and replaced by Decision (EU) 2023/1681 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2023/18) (8). It is therefore necessary to align submission to the ECB by NCAs of credit institutions’ funding plans with the provisions of Decision (EU) 2023/1681 (ECB/2023/18).

(8) Decision (EU) 2017/1198 (ECB/2017/21) has been substantially amended (9). Since further amendments are necessary, that decision should be recast in the interests of clarity,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
