COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2022/1929

of 31 March 2022

amending the implementing technical standards laid down in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1227 as regards the templates for the provision of information in accordance with the STS notification requirements for on-balance-sheet synthetic securitisations

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2017/2402 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2017 laying down a general framework for securitisation and creating a specific framework for simple, transparent and standardised securitisation, and amending Directives 2009/65/EC, 2009/138/EC and 2011/61/EU and Regulations (EC) No 1060/2009 and (EU) No 648/2012 (1), and in particular Article 27(7), third subparagraph thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1227 (2) lays down the use of templates for the provision of information in accordance with the simple, transparent and standardised (STS) notification requirements. In particular, Annexes I to III to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1227, specify the information that is to be reported to the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) for securitisations meeting the STS requirements set out in Articles 19 to 22 and Articles 23 to 26 of Regulation (EU) 2017/2402.

(2)

Regulation (EU) 2021/557 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) has amended Regulation (EU) 2017/2402 by extending the STS securitisation framework to on-balance sheet synthetic securitisations. Accordingly, it is necessary to specify the template for the provision of information in accordance with the STS notification requirements for on-balance sheet synthetic securitisations.

(3)

To provide investors, potential investors and competent authorities with a comparative overview of all types of STS securitisations, it is appropriate to ensure consistency across all the STS notifications. The notification template for STS on-balance-sheet securitisations should therefore follow the format of the template for STS traditional securitisations, while also taking into account the requirements concerning credit protection agreements and the role of the third-party verification agent laid down in Article 26e of Regulation (EU) 2017/2402.

(4)

The format for each of the fields to be reported in the notification of STS on-balance-sheet securitisations should be specified and any information submitted to ESMA should be submitted electronically.

(5)

Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1227 reflects the amendments to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/1226 (4) laid down in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1301 (5).

(6)

Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1227 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(7)

This Regulation is based on the draft implementing technical standards submitted to the Commission by ESMA.

(8)

ESMA has conducted open public consultations on the draft implementing technical standards on which this Regulation is based, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the advice of the Securities and Markets Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6),

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
