EBA publishes amended technical standards on resolution planning reporting

The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today draft implementing technical standards (ITS) amending the ITS on provision of information for the purpose of resolution plans (Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1624). The amendments are minimal and aim at re-aligning the standards with the provisions of the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD), following the changes to the minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) introduced in the revised BRRD2, as well as to remove some identified obstacles, at the technical level, that hamper compliance with the requirements specified in these ITS. The amended ITS are envisaged to apply for the first time with the reference date of 31 December 2021.
