(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on access to the activity of credit institutions and the prudential supervision of credit institutions, amending Directive 2002/87/EC and repealing Directives 2006/48/EC and 2006/49/EC (1), and in particular Article 8a(6), second subparagraph in conjunction with Article 8a(6), first subparagraph, point (a), thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 8a of Directive 2013/36/EU, investment firms that meet the conditions set out in Article 4(1), point (1)(b), of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) should apply for an authorisation as credit institutions. Those undertakings should provide sufficient information to the competent authorities as to enable them to carry out a comprehensive assessment of the applicant credit institutions.
(2) The list of information to be provided in an application by entities seeking to obtain the authorisation referred to in Article 8a of Directive 2013/36/EU should be specified in a regulation. Such information should include the identification details and historical information of the applicant credit institution, including its existing licensing, activities proposed, current financial situation, programme of operations, and initial capital.
(3) To ensure consistency and harmonisation of the authorisation information required for applicant credit institutions, this Regulation should refer to the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2580 (3) on the information to be provided for the authorisation of credit institutions, the requirements applicable to shareholders and members with qualifying holdings and obstacles which may prevent the effective exercise of supervisory functions and should aim to expand its scope to the investment firms that classify as credit institutions.
(4) Article 4(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 identifies a type of credit institutions which takes deposits or other repayable funds from the public and grants credits for its own account and another which is the one covered by the scope of this Regulation. Differently, credit institutions the business of which includes taking deposits or other repayable funds from the public and granting credits for its own account should follow the requirements of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2580.
(5) The list of information requirements provided in this Regulation for the applicant credit institutions should take into consideration the specificities of the investment firms’ business model and any prior licences granted by a competent authority.
(6) Competent authorities may need to expand the requested information in order to be in a position to assess thoroughly the applicant credit institution, taking into account the range of different business models and legal forms that applicant institutions may take. This Regulation should enable competent authorities to require additional information from an investment firm when assessing the application for a credit institution.
(7) The competent authority may consider waiving some information requirements in light of the size, nature, scale and complexity of the activities of the applicant credit institution concerned, and taking into account the principle of proportionality and the implementation burden on the institutions. However, this should not compromise the possibility of conducting a comprehensive assessment of the application for a credit institution.
(8) This Regulation is based on the draft regulatory technical standards submitted by the European Banking Authority (EBA) to the Commission.
(9) The EBA has conducted open public consultations on the draft regulatory technical standards on which this Regulation is based, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the advice 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 (4),
