Synthetic holdings
We are considering own regulatory capital instruments which are put in pledge to the issuing bank itself as collateral for loans to customers.1) Do banks have to deduct those pledged own regulatory capital instruments under Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 (CRR) although the related loans are not granted for the purchase of these instruments (i.e. no direct funding), potentially as a synthetic holding (Article 4 (1) (126) of CRR?2) Do such pledged regulatory capital instruments still meet the “fully paid up”-criterion as per (Article 28 (1)(b)) of CRR?

Direct / indirect funding of own shares
According to In Articles 8 and 93 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 241/2014 (the draft RTS on Own Funds), what is the amount to be deducted / not to be considered eligible. If a subscription/acquisition of the institution's shares has been financed by it, what should be the impact and by which amount? There are two possibilities:A) The amount of the funding/loan granted is to be deducted from CET1 items (irrespective of the current accounting value of the shares acquired).B) The "# of shares subscribed/acquired" times the "per share accounting amount of total equity" is not to be given recognition as a positive item of CET1In case the instruments are not given recognition, what is the amount not to give recognition:A) Amount of the funding given to buy the shares (at the market value); or,B) Corresponding accounting amount of the shares bought (which is different from A if the book value is different from the market capitalization of the institution)?Example:An institution issues capital at par, i.e., book value per share = 100 and market value per share = 100.The share drops in price and is now valued at 80 (new market price). However, this market devaluation does not have a correspondence in the accounting value which remains at 100.The institution finances a customer to buy 2 shares, so finances with 160.Questions1) Should the institution not recognize as a positive item: 160 (funding given to buy the 2 shares) or 200 (accounting value of the 2 shares whose purchase was financed by the institution)2) In the example the credit to the issuer is higher than the stock financed and the share increases in value. What amount has to be considered?3) In the example above, there is collateral posted. What amount has to be considered? Does the treatment change depending on whether the collateral is junior or senior to the delivery of the own shares?4) In the example above, there is impairment associated with the funding provided (though this one is broadly covered in the article). What is the treatment when the funding provided is higher than the share bought)?

Applicable risk weights for agricultural properties.
Should exposures fully secured by agricultural properties be assigned a risk weight of 100% according to article 124 or can they be considered as residential or commercial properties according to article 125 and 126 and, thus, have a lower risk weight?

Definition of default in terms of days
Is it correct that the 180 day definition is only available for other purposes linked to the referenced defaulted loans under the standardised approach – but not for the 100% risk weight? Could this represent a discrimination of SA banks against IRB banks which might be allowed to apply a 180 day definition for the risk weight of defaulted residential/SME commercial/public sector loans under their internal rating systems?

FINREP Date of initial application
As mentioned in Article 521 of the CRR the regulation shall apply from 01 January 2014, with the exception of the provisions of this Regulation that require the ESAs to submit to the Commission draft technical standards and the provisions of this Regulation that empower the Commission to adopt delegated acts or implementing acts, which shall apply from 31 December 2014. Does this means that provisions described in Article 99.4 CRR are postponed until 31.12.2014 which includes the requirements regarding FINREP?
