THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,
Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Articles 5.1, 12.1 and 14.3 thereof,

Considering the introduction of direct reporting of statistical information by insurance corporations in Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2014/50) (3), and the close links with the data to be collected by national competent authorities (NCAs) for supervisory purposes under the framework established by Directive 2009/138/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), Regulation (EU) No 1011/2012 (ECB/2012/24) has been amended to include data required to be directly reported by insurance corporations (ICs). Guideline ECB/2013/7 (5) also needs to be amended since it defines the necessary procedures for the national central banks (NCBs) to report to the European Central Bank (ECB). |
