The European Banking Authority (EBA) launched today a consultation on four draft Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) on the Standardised Approach for Counterparty Credit Risk (SA-CCR). These draft technical standards specify key aspects of the SA-CCR and represent an important contribution to its smooth harmonised implementation in the EU. The draft technical standards were developed based on the mandates included in the latest available version of proposed amended Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR2). The consultation runs until 2 August 2019.

José Manuel Campa officially assumed his new post as Chairperson of the European Banking Authority (EBA) on 1 May 2019, after the European Parliament confirmed his nomination by the EBA’s Board of Supervisor on 14 March 2019.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today its 2018 Report on supervisory colleges, which summarises its findings on the monitoring of supervisory colleges for the main cross-border European banking groups. Considering the progress observed in the functioning of colleges over the years, the Report mainly focuses on the quality of the colleges’ deliverables and highlights examples of good practice. Overall, the EBA has identified significant improvement in the colleges’ deliverables although further efforts are needed, in particular to ensure that the group risk/liquidity risk assessment reports form a real joint assessment of the group-wide risks.
