The European Banking Authority published draft revised guidelines on the remuneration benchmarking exercise and the data collection exercise for high earners.

The European Banking Authority ("EBA") published for consultation draft revised guidelines on the remuneration benchmarking exercise and the data collection exercise for high earners. Under CRD IV (comprised of the Capital Requirements Regulation and the Capital Requirements Directive), national EU regulators must provide data collected from individual firms to the EBA relating to remuneration levels and components of remuneration. The new requirements under CRD IV, which came into force on 1 January 2014, require regulators to collect more granular information than required under the previous European capital requirements legislation. Therefore, the EBA is consulting on proposed revisions to its guidelines and templates to account for the differences. The deadline for submission of responses is 7 May 2014.
