Compliance with guidelines and recommendations
The European Banking Authority (EBA) and the Joint Committee of the European Supervisory Authorities issue guidelines or recommendations in the field of banking supervision. In accordance with Article 16 of Regulation No. 1093/2010 establishing a European Banking Authority, the competent authorities must inform the EBA whether they comply or intend to comply with these. If an authority does not comply or intend to comply it must explain why.
The table below contains those guidelines and recommendations which have applied to the ECB since it assumed its supervisory tasks on 4 November 2014, and shows the dates on which the ECB notified the EBA of its compliance or intention to comply.
The EBA website is the official source of information on EBA guidelines and recommendation. The EBA publishes compliance tables together with each set of guidelines or recommendation.
