Article 458

Macroprudential or systemic risk identified at the level of a Member State

1.

Member States shall designate the authority in charge of the application of this Article. This authority shall be the competent authority or the designated authority.

2.

Where the authority designated in accordance with paragraph 1 of this Article identifies changes in the intensity of macroprudential or systemic risk in the financial system with the potential to have serious negative consequences to the financial system and the real economy in a specific Member State and which that authority considers that cannot be addressed by means of other macroprudential tools set out in this Regulation and in Directive 2013/36/EU as effectively as by implementing stricter national measures, it shall notify the Commission and the ESRB accordingly. The ESRB shall forward the notification to the European Parliament, to the Council and to EBA without delay.

The notification shall be accompanied by the following documents and include, where appropriate, relevant quantitative or qualitative evidence on:

  • (a) the changes in the intensity of macroprudential or systemic risk;
  • (b) the reasons why such changes could pose a threat to financial stability at national level or to the real economy;
  • (c) an explanation as to why the authority considers that the macroprudential tools set out in Articles 124 and 164 of this Regulation and Articles 133 and 136 of Directive 2013/36/EU would be less suitable and effective to deal with those risks than the draft national measures referred to in point (d) of this paragraph;
  • (d) the draft national measures for domestically authorised institutions, or a subset of those institutions, intended to mitigate the changes in the intensity of risk and concerning:
  • (i) the level of own funds laid down in Article 92;
  • (ii) the requirements for large exposures laid down in Article 392 and Articles 395 to 403;
  • (iii) liquidity requirements laid down in Part Six;
  • (iv) risk weights for targeting asset bubbles in the residential property and commercial immovable property sector;

  • (vii) intra-financial sector exposures;
  • (e) an explanation as to why the draft measures are considered by the authority designated in accordance with paragraph 1 to be suitable, effective and proportionate to address the situation; and
  • (f) an assessment of the likely positive or negative impact of the draft measures on the internal market based on information which is available to the Member State concerned.
3.

When authorised to apply national measures in accordance with this Article, the authorities determined in accordance with paragraph 1 shall provide relevant competent authorities or designated authorities in other Member States with all relevant information.

4.

The power to adopt an implementing act to reject the draft national measures referred to in point (d) of paragraph 2 is conferred on the Council, acting by qualified majority, on a proposal from the Commission.

Within one month of receipt of the notification referred to in paragraph 2, the ESRB and EBA shall provide their opinions on the matters referred to in points (a) to (f) of that paragraph to the Council, to the Commission and to the Member State concerned.

Taking utmost account of the opinions referred to in the second subparagraph and if there is robust, strong and detailed evidence that the measure will have a negative impact on the internal market that outweighs the financial stability benefits resulting in a reduction of the macroprudential or systemic risk identified, the Commission may, within one month, propose to the Council an implementing act to reject the draft national measures.

In the absence of a Commission proposal within that period of one month, the Member State concerned may immediately adopt the draft national measures for a period of up to two years or until the macroprudential or systemic risk ceases to exist if that occurs sooner.

The Council shall decide on the proposal by the Commission within one month after receipt of the proposal and state its reasons for rejecting or not rejecting the draft national measures.

The Council shall only reject the draft national measures if it considers that one or more of the following conditions are not met:

  • (a) the changes in the intensity of macroprudential or systemic risk are of such nature as to pose risk to financial stability at national level;
  • (b) the macroprudential tools set out in this Regulation and in Directive 2013/36/EU are less suitable or effective than the draft national measures to deal with the macroprudential or systemic risk identified;
  • (c) the draft national measures do not entail disproportionate adverse effects on the whole or parts of the financial system in other Member States or in the Union as a whole, thus forming or creating an obstacle to the functioning of the internal market; and
  • (d) the issue concerns only one Member State.

The assessment of the Council shall take into account the opinion of the ESRB and EBA and shall be based on the evidence presented in accordance with paragraph 2 by the authority designated in accordance with paragraph 1.

In the absence of a Council implementing act to reject the draft national measures within one month of receipt of the proposal by the Commission, the Member State concerned may adopt the measures and apply them for a period of up to two years or until the macroprudential or systemic risk ceases to exist if that occurs sooner.

5.

Other Member States may recognise the measures adopted in accordance with this Article and apply them to domestically authorised institutions, which have branches or have exposures located in the Member State authorised to apply the measure.

6.

Where Member States recognise the measures set in accordance with this Article, they shall notify the ESRB. The ESRB shall forward such notifications without delay to the Council, the Commission, EBA and the Member State authorised to apply the measures.

7.

When deciding whether to recognise the measures set in accordance with this Article, the Member State shall take into consideration the criteria set in paragraph 4.

8.

The Member State authorised to apply the measures may ask the ESRB to issue a recommendation as referred to in Article 16 of Regulation (EU) No 1092/2010 to one or more Member States which do not recognise the measures.

9. Before the expiry of the authorisation issued in accordance with paragraphs 2 and 4, the Member State concerned shall, in consultation with the ESRB, EBA and the Commission, review the situation and may adopt, in accordance with the procedure referred to in paragraphs 2 and 4, a new decision for the extension of the period of application of national measures for up to two additional years each time.
10.

Notwithstanding the procedure as set out in paragraphs 3 to 9 of this Article, Member States shall be allowed to increase the risk weights beyond those provided for in this Regulation by up to 25 %, for those exposures identified in points (d)(iv) and (d)(vii) of paragraph 2 of this Article and tighten the large exposure limit provided for in Article 395 by up to 15 % for a period of up to two years or until the macroprudential or systemic risk ceases to exist if that occurs sooner, provided that the conditions and notification requirements laid down in paragraph 2 of this Article are met.

Article 459

Prudential requirements

The Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 462, to impose, for a period of one year, stricter prudential requirements for exposures where this is necessary to address changes in the intensity of microprudential and macroprudential risks which arise from market developments in the Union or outside the Union affecting all Member States, and where the instruments of this Regulation and Directive 2013/36/EU are not sufficient to address these risks, in particular upon the recommendation or opinion of the ESRB or EBA, concerning:

  • (a) the level of own funds laid down in Article 92;
  • (b) the requirements for large exposures laid down in Article 392 and Articles 395 to 403;
- (c) the public disclosure requirements laid down in Articles 431 to 455.

The Commission, assisted by the ESRB shall, at least on an annual basis, submit to the European Parliament and the Council, a report on market developments potentially requiring the use of this Article.

Liquidity

1.

The Commission is empowered to supplement this Regulation by adopting delegated acts in accordance with Article 462 to specify in detail the general requirement set out in Article 412(1). Delegated acts adopted in accordance with this paragraph shall be based on the items to be reported in accordance with Title II of Part Six and Annex III and shall specify under which circumstances competent authorities have to impose specific in- and outflow levels on institutions in order to capture specific risks to which they are exposed and shall respect the thresholds set out in paragraph 2 of this Article.

In particular, the Commission is empowered to supplement this Regulation by adopting delegated acts specifying the detailed liquidity requirements for the purposes of the application of Article 8(3), Articles 411 to 416, 419, 422, 425, 428a, 428f, 428g, 428j to 428n, 428p, 428r, 428s, 428w, 428ae, 428ag, 428ah, 428ak and 451a.

The liquidity coverage requirement referred to in Article 412 shall be introduced in accordance with the following phasing-in:

  • (a) 60 % of the liquidity coverage requirement in 2015;
  • (b) 70 % as from 1 January 2016;
  • (c) 80 % as from 1 January 2017;
  • (d) 100 % as from 1 January 2018.

For this purpose the Commission shall take into account the reports referred to in Article 509(1), (2) and (3) and international standards developed by international fora as well as Union specificities.

The Commission shall adopt the delegated act referred to in paragraph 1 by 30 June 2014. It shall enter into force by 31 December 2014, but shall not apply before 1 January 2015.

3. The Commission is empowered to amend this Regulation by adopting delegated acts in accordance with Article 462 amending the list of products or services set out in Article 428f(2) if it considers that assets and liabilities directly linked to other products or services meet the conditions set out in Article 428f(1).

The Commission shall adopt the delegated act referred to in the first subparagraph by 28 June 2024.

Article 461

Review of the phasing-in of the liquidity coverage requirement

1.

EBA shall, after consulting the ESRB, by 30 June 2016 report to the Commission on whether the phase-in of the liquidity coverage requirement as specified in Article 460(2) should be amended. Such analysis shall take due account of market and international regulatory developments as well as Union specificities.

EBA shall in its report assess in particular a deferred introduction of the 100 % minimum binding standard, until 1 January 2019. The report shall take into account the annual reports referred to in Article 509(1), relevant market data and the recommendations of all competent authorities.

2.

Where necessary to address market and other developments, the Commission shall be empowered to adopt a delegated act in accordance with Article 462 to alter the phase-in specified in Article 460 and defer until 2019 the introduction of a 100 % binding minimum standard for the liquidity coverage requirement set out in Article 412(1) and to apply in 2018 a 90 % binding minimum standard for the liquidity coverage requirement.

For the purposes of assessing the necessity of deferral the Commission shall take into account the report and assessment referred to in paragraph 1.

A delegated act adopted in accordance with this Article shall not apply before 1 January 2018 and shall enter into force by 30 June 2017.

Article 461a

Own funds requirements for market risk

1.

The Commission shall monitor the differences between the implementation of international standards on own funds requirements for market risk in the Union and in third countries, including as regards the impact of the rules in terms of own funds requirements and as regards their date of application.

2.

Where significant differences in such implementation are observed, the Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 462 to amend this Regulation by:

  • (a) applying, until the date of application of the legislative act referred to in paragraph 3 of this Article or for up to three years in the absence of such an act, and where necessary to preserve a level playing field and to offset those observed differences, targeted operational relief measures or targeted multipliers equal to or greater than 0 and lower than 1 in the calculation of the institutions’ own funds requirements for market risk, for specific risk classes and specific risk factors, using one of the approaches referred to in Article 325(1), and laid out in:
  • (i) Articles 325c to 325ay, specifying the alternative standardised approach;
  • (ii) Articles 325az to 325bp, specifying the alternative internal model approach;
  • (iii) Articles 326 to 361, specifying the simplified standardised approach;
  • (b) postponing for up to two years the date from which institutions shall apply the own funds requirements for market risk set out in Part Three, Title IV, or any of the approaches to calculate the own funds requirements for market risk referred to in Article 325(1).

Where the Commission adopts the delegated act referred to in the first subparagraph, the Commission shall, where appropriate, submit a legislative proposal to the European Parliament and to the Council to adjust the implementation in the Union of international standards on own funds requirements for market risk to preserve in a more permanent manner a level playing field with third countries, in terms of own funds requirements and the impact of those requirements.

3. By 10 July 2026, EBA shall submit a report to the European Parliament, to the Council and to the Commission on the implementation of international standards on own funds requirements for market risk in third countries.

On the basis of that report, the Commission shall, where appropriate, submit to the European Parliament and to the Council a legislative proposal, in order to ensure a global level playing field.

3.

By way of derogation from Article 92(5), point (a)(ii), and without prejudice to the derogation set out in Article 92(3), second subparagraph, institutions may, until 31 December 2032, assign a risk weight of 65 % to exposures to corporates for which no credit assessment by a nominated ECAI is available and provided that those institutions’ estimates of the PD of those obligors, calculated in accordance with Part Three, Title II, Chapter 3, are no greater than 0,5  %.

EBA and ESMA, in cooperation with EIOPA, shall monitor the use of the transitional treatment laid down in the first subparagraph and assess, in particular:

  • (c) possible measures to address the impediments, taking into account differences across economic sectors and geographical areas and the development of private or publicly led solutions such as credit scoring, private ratings mandated by institutions, as well as central bank ratings;
  • (d) the appropriateness of the risk-weighted exposure amounts of unrated corporate exposures and their implications for financial stability;

5.

By way of derogation from Article 92(5), point (a)(ii), and without prejudice to the derogation set out in Article 92(3), second subparagraph, and provided that all conditions set out in paragraph 8 of this Article are met, Member States may allow institutions to assign:

6.

For the purposes of paragraph 5, point (a), where an institution holds a junior lien and there are more senior liens not held by that institution, to determine the part of the institution’s exposure that is eligible for the 10 % risk weight, the amount of 55 % of the property value shall be reduced by the amount of the more senior liens not held by the institution.

Where liens not held by the institution rank pari passu with the lien held by the institution, to determine the part of the institution’s exposure that is eligible for the 10 % risk weight, the amount of 55 % of the property value, reduced by the amount of any more senior liens not held by the institution, shall be reduced by the product of:

  • (a) 55 % of the property value, reduced by the amount of more senior liens, if any, both held by the institution and held by other institutions; and
