DECISION (EU) 2023/1681 OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK

of 17 August 2023

on the provision to the European Central Bank of supervisory data reported to the national competent authorities by the supervised entities

(ECB/2023/18)

(recast)

THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 of 15 October 2013 conferring specific tasks on the European Central Bank concerning policies relating to the prudential supervision of credit institutions (1), and in particular Article 6(2) thereof,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 468/2014 of the European Central Bank of 16 April 2014 establishing the framework for cooperation within the Single Supervisory Mechanism between the European Central Bank and national competent authorities and with national designated authorities (SSM Framework Regulation) (ECB/2014/17) (2), and in particular Article 21 and Article 140(4) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal of the Supervisory Board,

Whereas:

(1) Credit institutions are subject to regular reporting requirements in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/2070 (4), Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/451 (5) and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/453 (6).

(2) Within the framework of Article 6 of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013, the European Central Bank (ECB) is exclusively competent to carry out, for prudential supervisory purposes, the tasks set out in Article 4 of that Regulation. The ECB, in the exercise of those tasks, ensures compliance with the provisions of Union law that impose prudential requirements on credit institutions as regards reporting.

(3) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 and Article 21 of Regulation (EU) No 468/2014 (ECB/2014/17), both the ECB and national competent authorities (NCAs) are subject to an obligation to exchange information. Without prejudice to the ECB’s power to directly receive reported information from credit institutions, or to have direct access to that information on an ongoing basis, the NCAs are required to specifically provide the ECB with all information necessary for the purposes of carrying out the tasks conferred on the ECB by Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013.

(4) In accordance with Article 140(3) of Regulation (EU) No 468/2014 (ECB/2014/17), supervised entities are obliged to communicate to their relevant NCA any information to be reported on a regular basis, in accordance with relevant Union law. Unless specifically provided otherwise, all information reported by the supervised entities are required to be submitted to the NCAs. NCAs are required to perform the initial data checks and make the information reported by supervised entities available to the ECB.

(5) For the exercise of the ECB’s tasks in respect of supervisory reporting, the manner in which NCAs submit to the ECB the information they receive from supervised entities needs to be further specified. For this purpose, in 2014, the ECB adopted Decision ECB/2014/29 of the European Central Bank (7), which defines the formats, frequency and timing in relation to the submission of such information, as well as the details of the quality checks that NCAs should perform before submitting information to the ECB.

(6) Decision ECB/2014/29 has been substantially amended several times (8). Since further amendments are necessary, that decision should be recast in the interests of clarity,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
