The EBA published, on 27 and 28 March 2014, final draft technical standards required under the CRR. The technical standards have been passed to the European Commission for adoption. Once published in the Official Journal of the European Union, the standards will apply across the EU. The final draft technical standards published are:

  1. Final draft implementing technical standards ("ITS") on currencies for which the justified demand for liquid assets exceeds their availability;
  2. Final draft regulatory technical standards ("RTS") on derogations for eligible currencies;
  3. Final draft ITS listing the currencies with an extremely narrow definition of central bank eligibility;
  4. Final draft RTS on additional collateral outflows; and
  5. Final draft RTS on own funds (part IV).
