On December 14, 2017, the European Banking Authority published standardized data templates for non-performing loans, following calls from the European Commission and the Council of the European Union to develop templates that would assist in developing the NPL secondary markets. The templates are not a supervisory reporting requirement, but a market standard to be used by banks on a voluntary basis.
The EBA's press release is available at: http://www.eba.europa.eu/-/eba-publishes-its-standardised-data-templates-as-a-step-to-reduce-npls and the templates are available at: https://www.eba.europa.eu/risk-analysis-and-data/eba-work-on-npls .
