Maturity reporting for Pillar 3 ESG risks disclosure, Template 1 and 5

How should we treat products without stated maturity (such as on demand, equity, perpetual loans) in the maturity buckets and in the average weighted maturity computation? E.g. perpetual loans will probably end up in the >20 years bucket, but which year should we use for the computation of the average weighted maturity? Or Equity holdings are mentioned in the instructions, but it's not clear in which maturity bucket we should report them and which year to use for the computation of the average weighted maturity.

Use of Turnover taxonomy eligibility/alignment or Capex taxonomy eligibility/alignment for Pillar 3 Risks ESG disclosures

Question 1: We interpret that the wording "general purpose lending part" excludes “specialised lending” and it leaves the door open to derive that Capex may be used for specialised lending and/or when the use of proceeds is known. Could you please indicate if for some of the Pillar 3 reports the Capex taxonomy eligibility/alignment should be used instead of the turnover taxonomy eligibility/alignment. If yes, may you please precise under which conditions Capex taxonomy eligibility/alignment should be used and to which report it applies and potentially to which columns/rows if relevant. Question 2: Is there any intentional distinction between the wording “use of proceeds is known” versus the wording “specialised lending”? If yes, could you explain the difference?
