Question

I would ask for confirmation that the guidelines contained in the EBA/GL/2021/04 have scope of application to employees, relevant personnel and persons who assume the risk. As indicated in “4 Guidelines – Title 1 – Remuneration policies for all staff -  point 15”, instead, for other persons acting on behalf of the institution (e.g. tied agents) it is understood that the institution, with regard to the remuneration policy, must set only a framework that ensure the payments made are not providing any incentive for excessive risk taking or the mis-selling of products. Therefore, the remaining guidelines contained in the EBA/GL/2021/04 do not have, as their scope, external agents or networks that have no influence on risk-taking policies.

 

Chiederei conferma che le direttive riportate nella circolare EBA/GL/2021/04 trovano ambito di applicazione al personale dipendente, il personale rilevante e i soggetti che assumono il rischio. Come indicato all’articolo 4 punto 15, invece, per le persone che agiscono per conto dell’ente (ed esempio, gli agenti collegati) si intende che l’ente, in merito alla politica di remunerazione, deve stabilire soltanto un quadro che garantisca che i pagamenti effettuati non forniscano alcun incentivo all’assunzione di rischi eccessivi o alla vendita abusiva di prodotti. Pertanto le restanti linee guida contenute nella circolare EBA/GL/2021/04, non hanno come ambito di applicazione, gli agenti o reti esterne che non hanno alcuna influenza sulle politiche di assunzione del rischio.

Background on the question
Do the agents (persons acting on behalf of the institution) fall within the general scope of the guidelines or do they have point 15 as their only application where they are mentioned?!

Rationale for rejection

This question has been rejected because to ensure the effectiveness of the Q&A process it focuses on answering questions that are likely to be relevant to a broad set of stakeholders – for example, a large number, broad range or wide geographical distribution – rather than questions which address circumstances which appear likely to be relevant only to the particular circumstances of certain stakeholders or transactions.

For further information on the purpose of this tool and on how to submit questions, please see “Additional background and guidance for asking questions”.
