Preamble

Whereas:

1. (1)

   Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1066 specifies the procedure and introduces a minimum set of templates for the provision of information to resolution authorities by credit institutions or investment firms ("institutions") for the purpose of drawing up and implementing resolution plans for institutions. Since the adoption of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1066, resolution authorities have gained experience in the area of resolution planning. In light of that experience, it is necessary to update the minimum set of templates for the collection of information for resolution planning purposes.

2. (2)

   Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1066 also aims to design the procedure and the minimum set of templates for the provision of information to resolution authorities by institutions in a way that enables the resolution authorities to collect that information in a consistent manner across the Union and to facilitate the exchange of information among the relevant authorities. However, experience has shown that a harmonised approach to the collection of that information has only been partially achieved. It is therefore necessary to ensure that resolution authorities collect a minimum core of information relating to an institution or group across the Union on a regular basis. This does not prevent the resolution authority from collecting any additional information they deem necessary to draw up and implement resolution plans or to determine, as set out in Article 4 of Directive 2014/59/EU, simplified information obligations.

3. (3)

   In order to ensure that resolution plans are based on a minimum set of data of consistently high quality and precision, the data items set out in the reporting templates introduced by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1066 should be transformed into a single data point model, as is the practice in supervisory reporting. The single data point model should consist of a structural representation of the data items, and identify all relevant business concepts for the purpose of uniform reporting for resolution planning and should contain all of the relevant specifications necessary for further developing uniform IT reporting solutions.

4. (4)

   In order to safeguard the quality, consistency and accuracy of data items reported by institutions, the data items should be subject to common validation rules.

5. (5)

   Due to their very nature, validation rules and data point definitions are updated regularly in order to ensure they comply, at all times, with applicable regulatory, analytical and information technology requirements. However, the time presently required to adopt and publish the detailed single data point model and validation rules means that it is not possible to carry out modifications in a sufficiently rapid and timely manner that would ensure permanent provision of uniform information regarding resolution plans in the Union. Therefore, stringent qualitative criteria should be established for the detailed single data point model and the detailed common validation rules which will be published electronically by the European Banking Authority (EBA) on its website.

6. (6)

   In accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 2014/59/EU, competent and resolution authorities should cooperate in order to minimise duplicated information requirements. For that purpose, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1066 introduces a cooperation procedure between competent and resolution authorities, which should be maintained so that competent and resolution authorities jointly verify whether some or all of the requested information is already available to the competent authority. Where the information is available to the competent authority, it is appropriate that it transmits it to the resolution authority directly.

7. (7)

   Given the extent of the necessary amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1066, it is preferable, for reasons of legal certainty and clarity, to adopt a new Implementing Regulation and, therefore, to repeal Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1066.

8. (8)

   This Regulation is based on the implementing technical standards submitted by the EBA to the Commission.

9. (9)

   The EBA has conducted open public consultations on the implementing technical standards on which this Regulation is based, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the opinion of the Banking Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council,
