supplementing Directive 2014/59/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms with regard to regulatory technical standards specifying a minimum set of the information on financial contracts that should be contained in the detailed records and the circumstances in which the requirement should be imposed

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Directive 2014/59/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 establishing a framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms and amending Council Directive 82/891/EEC, and Directives 2001/24/EC, 2002/47/EC, 2004/25/EC, 2005/56/EC, 2007/36/EC, 2011/35/EU, 2012/30/EU and 2013/36/EU, and Regulations (EU) No 1093/2010 and (EU) No 648/2012, of the European Parliament and of the Council (1), and in particular Article 71(8) thereof,

Whereas:

 

(1)

In order to ensure that competent authorities and resolution authorities may easily access data on financial contracts, as defined in Article 2(1)(100) of Directive 2014/59/EU, where the applicable resolution plan or the group resolution plan foresees the taking of resolution actions in relation to an institution or entity referred to in point (b), (c) or (d) of Article 1(1) of Directive 2014/59/EU, those authorities should require institutions or entities to maintain on an on-going basis a minimum set of information on such contracts. That should be without prejudice to the possibility of competent authorities or resolution authorities to require additional information to be kept in detailed records of financial contracts and to impose such requirements on other institutions or entities referred to in point (b), (c) or (d) of Article 1(1) of Directive 2014/59/EU when it is needed to ensure comprehensive and effective planning.
 

(2)

The minimum set of information to be maintained in detailed records of financial contracts by the relevant institutions or entities should be clearly determined. That should be without prejudice to the discretion of competent authorities and resolution authorities to use it as a template or to prescribe the format in which the requested information should be provided within the timeframe set in the request.
 

(3)

For the avoidance of doubt, the requirement imposed on the relevant institutions or entities to maintain detailed records of financial contracts should not affect the right of the competent authorities and the resolution authorities to request necessary information from trade repositories in accordance with Article 81 of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) and Article 71(7) of Directive 2014/59/EU.
 

(4)

This Regulation is based on the draft regulatory technical standards submitted by the European Banking Authority to the Commission.
 

(5)

The European Banking Authority 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 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 (3),

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
