On May 25, 2016, a Commission Implementing Regulation which amends the Implementing Technical Standards on uniform formats and dates for the disclosure of values used to identify global systemically important institutions under the CRR was published in the Official Journal of the European Union. The ITS supplement CRR provisions that require regulators to identify G-SIIs, based upon the templates issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Standards. The amended ITS take into account revisions proposed by the European Banking Authority in January 2016. G-SIIs are now required to report the information used to identify G-SIIs (such as indicators, ancillary data and memorandum items) to the regulator in electronic format, using a template annexed to amending ITS. The amended ITS provides that G-SIIs publicly disclose the values of the indicators used for determining the score of G-SIIs in accordance with the Commission Delegated Regulation on the methodology for the identification of G-SIIs. Information required in the template includes general information such as bank name and reporting dates. The template will also include monetary values on indicators such as payments made in the reporting year, assets under custody and underwritten transaction in debt and equity markets. The amending ITS entered into force on May 26, 2016.
The amending ITS is available at: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=uriserv:OJ.L_.2016.136.01.0004.01.ENG&toc=OJ:L:2016:136:TOC.
