The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today its Final draft amending Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) and Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) on passport notification. The two sets of amending technical standards increase the quality and consistency of information to be provided by a credit institution notifying its home competent authorities when it intends to open a branch or provide services in another Member State, as well as of the communication between home and host authorities.
In particular, the amendments focus on:
The review of the two sets of technical standards on passport notification, originally enacted by the European Commission under Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1151/2014 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 926/2014, has been done in accordance with Articles 35, 36 and 39 of Directive 2013/36/EU in combination with Article 29(d) of Regulation (EU) 1093/2010 establishing the EBA.
