The draft Regulation determines the exercise of options and discretions available in Union law and mandated to competent authorities, concerning prudential requirements for credit institutions. The exercise of those options and discretions provided for in this Regulation is directly applicable to credit institutions classified as significant.
ECB Regulation on the exercise of options and discretions in Union law ECB Guide on options and discretions More informationThe draft Regulation lays down the requirements for reporting on supervisory financial information to be submitted to national competent authorities (NCAs) by significant and less significant supervised entities and groups, established in participating Member States, including branches established in a participating Member State by a credit institution established in a non-participating Member State.
ECB Regulation on reporting of supervisory financial information More informationThe draft Regulation sets out the arrangements under which the ECB will levy and collect the annual supervisory fee for expenditure incurred in relation to its supervisory tasks. In particular, it establishes the methodology for:
- determining the total amount of the annual supervisory fee
- calculating the individual amount to be paid per supervised entity or group
The SSM Regulation requires the ECB, in consultation with national competent authorities (NCAs), to adopt and make public a framework to organise the practical arrangements for the implementation of the cooperation between the ECB and the NCAs within the SSM. Accordingly, the ECB, in consultation with the NCAs, prepared a draft ECB Regulation (the ECB SSM Framework Regulation), which lays down rules and procedures governing the cooperation between the ECB and the NCAs, on both micro-prudential and macro-prudential tasks.
