Template Z08.01: Reporting on intra-group services with identical LEI codes

Per EBA taxonomy, concatenation of col 0005, 0010, 0020, 0040, 0060 and 0130 in Template 8.01 should be unique (unique key).  This causes duplication error across rows reporting similar intra-entity services between different branches, i.e. identical providers/receiver codes and identical other fields required for unique key.Does the taxonomy need to be amended to allow such reporting?

Historical valuation series considered in determining the average value of real estate collateral

Considering that institutions may rely on comparable real estate valuation indices to fill in periods where no formal property revaluation exists, in order to construct the required equally distant interval valuation points, is there any requirement or expectation to extend the historical series beyond the minimum three data points, covering the full reference period (e.g., six years for RRE and eight years for CRE)?  The reasoning underlying this question is illustrated in the following example: RRE: Case 1 - Exclusive reliance on three data points derived from formal property revaluation exercises Period 0: Property value at origination Period 1: -- Period 2: -- Period 3: First formal property revaluation Period 4: -- Period 5: -- Period 6: Second formal property revaluation RRE: Case 2 - Use of real‑estate price valuation indices to construct the historical period Period 0: Property value at origination Period 1: First property value collected using real‑estate valuation indices Period 2: Second property value collected using real‑estate valuation indices Period 3: Third property value collected using real‑estate valuation indices Period 4: Fourth property value collected using real‑estate valuation indices Period 5: Fifth property value collected using real‑estate valuation indices Period 6: First formal property revaluation RRE: Case 3 - Use of real‑estate price valuation and indices to construct the historical period Period 0: Property value at origination Period 1: First formal property revaluation Period 2: First property value collected using real‑estate valuation indices Period 3: Second property value collected using real‑estate valuation indices Period 4: Third property value collected using real‑estate valuation indices Period 5: Fourth property value collected using real‑estate valuation indices Period 6: Second formal property revaluation

Historical valuation data predating the origination of the exposure for eligible immovable property collateral

For the purpose of calculating the average property value for exposures where the available valuation history does not meet the minimum historical period of six years for residential real estate (RRE) and eight years for commercial real estate (CRE), may the missing historical period be supplemented by using real estate price valuation indices for comparable properties predating the origination date of the exposure?

Methodology for calculating the scenarios referred to in Article 25(2), (3), and (4), as well as point 5(a), (b), and (c) of the Annex to the Regulation.

Our Bank as another non-listed institution, as part of the CRR Regulation, is required to apply the "standardized approach" for interest rate risk, as defined in Regulation 2024/857. Banks subject to the simplified standardized methodology apply, by way of derogation from Article 8(9), the pass-through rate specified in point 5(a), 5(b), and 5(c) of the Annex. Our Bank, as another non-listed institution, should independently calculate the pass-through rate, taking into account the Bank's historical data for the base scenario and scenarios predicting a decrease and an increase in short-term interest rates. Currently, the Bank applies the pass-through rate from points 5a, 5b, and 5c of the Annex to the Regulation. Since the UKNF has issued a recommendation that the Bank independently determine the pass-through rate, please provide the methodology for calculating the scenarios referred to in Article 25(2), (3), and (4), as well as point 5(a), (b), and (c) of the Annex to the Regulation.

Geographical location for securitisation exposures (and CIU exposures) where underlying exposures span multiple countries

How should securitisation exposures, where the underlying exposures originate from multiple countries, be allocated for the purposes of determining the institution‑specific countercyclical capital buffer? In particular, should Article 4(1) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2014/1152 be interpreted as: Option A: applying only when all underlying exposures relate to obligors in a single jurisdiction, with Article 4(2) automatically and mandatorily applying whenever more than one country is represented, or Option B: establishing a look‑through approach, under which the securitisation exposure is allocated proportionally to the distribution of underlying obligors across countries, with Article 4(2) serving as an (optional) simplification (allocation to the largest‑share country) that institutions may choose instead?
