The report presents the first results of the review done by the European Banking Authority (EBA) on the issuances of Additional Tier 1 (AT1) capital instruments. The Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR) tasks the EBA with monitoring the quality of own funds instruments issued by institutions across the European Union (EU). This review is preliminary and the EBA expects to gather further insight on the basis of future issuances.

The EBA launched today a consultation on draft Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) and Guidelines specifying the various conditions for the provision of group financial support, and on draft Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) on the disclosure of group financial support agreements. These Technical Standards and Guidelines have been developed within the framework established by the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD) and aim at strengthening integrated risk management by removing possible uncertainties around supporting entities in distress within the same group. The consultation runs until 4 January 2015.
