COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2018/1844

of 23 November 2018

amending and correcting Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2450 laying down implementing technical standards with regard to the templates for the submission of information to the supervisory authorities in accordance with Directive 2009/138/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Directive 2009/138/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2009 on the taking up and pursuit of the business of Insurance and Reinsurance (Solvency II) (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 35(10), the third subparagraph of Article 244(6) and the second subparagraph of Article 245(6) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2450 (2) lays down the reporting templates that insurance and reinsurance undertakings as well as participating insurance and reinsurance undertakings, insurance holding companies and mixed financial holding companies need to use for reporting to the supervisory authorities information that is necessary for the purposes of supervision.

(2)

Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/1542 (3), amending the rules on the calculation of regulatory capital requirements for certain categories of assets held by insurance and reinsurance undertakings, introduced the new qualifying infrastructure corporate asset class with a dedicated capital requirement. In order to ensure that supervisory authorities receive the necessary information also on infrastructure corporates investments made by insurance and reinsurance undertakings, with a level of detail and granularity comparable to that existing for the other asset classes within the calculation of the market risk module, the relevant reporting templates, as laid down in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2450, should be adapted taking into account those amendments.

(3)

Provisions on the correct use of sign of expressions and consistent exchange rates are crucial to improve consistency and quality of the information reported with regard to the historical data denominated in a currency other than the reporting currency. Therefore Article 2 and Article 3 have been amended to improve the quality of the information reported.

(4)

The templates concerning variation analysis aim to explain with economic metrics, why and how the situation of the undertaking has evolved during the year. As stakeholders have identified a number of areas for improvement and further clarification, some amendments to the instructions of templates S.29.01 to S.29.04 are necessary.

(5)

Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2450 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6)

Drafting errors in the instructions of the templates which may lead to inconsistent and misleading information and consequently affect the quality of the supervisory review process should be corrected. Therefore some corrections, mainly addressing missing reporting items or information in the ‘General comments’ and missing cells in the ‘Instructions’, are needed.

(7)

This Regulation is based on the draft implementing technical standards submitted by the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority to the Commission.

(8)

The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority 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 opinion of the Insurance and Reinsurance Stakeholder Group established by Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1094/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4),

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2450 is amended as follows:

(1)

in Article 2, the following point (d) is added:

‘(d)

all data points shall be expressed as positive values except in the following cases:

(i)

they are of an opposite nature from the natural amount of the item;

(ii)

the nature of the data point allows for positive and negative values to be reported;

(iii)

a different reporting format is required by the respective instructions set out in the Annexes.’;

(2)

in Article 3, the following paragraph 4a is inserted:

‘4a.   When expressing the values of historical data denominated in a currency other than the reporting currency, such values related to previous reporting periods shall be converted into the reporting currency based on the closing rate on the last day of the period being reported for which the conversion rate is available.’;

(3)

Annex I is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation;

(4)

Annex II is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation;

(5)

Annex III is amended in accordance with Annex III to this Regulation;

(6)

Annex VI is amended in accordance with Annex IV to this Regulation.

(1)

Annex I is corrected in accordance with Annex V to this Regulation;

(2)

‘The variation of Best Estimate captured here shall strictly relate to the cash flows projected at the end of the period when compared to the cash flows that were projected at the beginning of the period for the periods N + 1 and future.

It shall only capture the changes due to the realisation of the CF in year N and not linked to changes in assumptions.’;

c)

in the table, in the third column (‘Instructions’) of row C0010–C0020/R0090, the first paragraph is replaced by the following:

‘It mainly refers to changes in best estimate not driven by realised technical flows and changes in assumptions directly linked to insurance risks (i.e. lapse rates), which can be referred to as non–economic assumptions.’;

d)

in the table, the text in the third column (‘Instructions’) of row C0050–C0060/R0190 is replaced by the following:

‘It is expected that these cells mainly concerns Non–Life and refers to changes in (part of) Premiums Provisions (i.e. in relation to all recognised obligations within the boundary of the contract at the valuation date where the claim has not yet occurred) as follows:

Identify the part of premiums provisions at end of year (N) related to a coverage period starting after the closing year end N;

Identify the part of premiums provisions at end of Year (N – 1) related to a coverage period starting after the closing Year end N;

Derive the variation from the two figures.’;

e)

in the table, the text in the third column (‘Instructions’) of row C0050–C0060/R0200 is replaced by the following:

‘It is expected that these cells mainly concerns Non–Life, and refers to the following cases:

a)

(part of) Premiums Provisions at Year end N – 1 which turned to Claims Provisions at year end N because claim has occurred during that period

b)

claims provisions related to claims occurred during the period (for which there was no Premiums provisions at year end N – 1)

Calculation may be as follows:

Identify the part of claims provisions at Year end (N) related to risks covered during the period;

Identify the part of premiums provisions at Year end (N – 1) related to risks covered during the period;

Derive the variation from the two figures.’;

f)

g)

in the table, the text in the third column (‘Instructions’) of row C0050–C0060/R0240 is replaced by the following:

‘It mainly refers to changes in best estimate not driven by realised technical flows and changes in assumptions directly linked to insurance risks (i.e. lapse rates), which can be referred to as non–economic assumptions.

In order to isolate the strict scope of variation due to changes in assumptions, the calculation may be as follows:

 

Consider the opening Best Estimate (cell C0050-C0060/R0150) including the adjustment to opening Best Estimate (cells C0050-C0060/R0160 to R0180) and the impact of unwinding of year N projected cash–flows (C0050-C0060/R0210 to R0230);

 

Based on this figure, run calculations with new assumptions not related to discount rates – that applied at year end N (if any);

 

This will provide the variation of Best Estimate strictly related to changes in these assumptions. This may not capture the variation due to case–by–case revision of RBNS, which would thus have to be added.

For Non–Life, in cases where these changes cannot be discerned separately from changes due to experience, report the total figure under C0060/R0230.’;

h)

in the table, the text in the third column (‘Instructions’) of row C0050–C0060/R0260 is replaced by the following:

consider the variation (opening minus closing) in BE, RM, TP calculated as a whole and transitional on Technical Provisions;

add amount of total technical flows, i.e.: inflows minus outflows on gross technical provisions (C0100/R0340 for Life and C0110/R0340 for Non–Life).’;

l)

in the table, the text in the third column (‘Instructions’) of row C0120–C0130/R0370 is replaced by the following:

Identify the part of premiums provisions at end of year (N) related to a coverage period starting after the closing year-end N

Identify the part of premiums provisions at the end of year (N – 1) related to a coverage period starting after the closing year-end N (i.e. in case of premiums provisions in relation to obligations on more than one future reporting period)

In case Premiums Provisions at year end (N – 1) includes amount for which claims occurred during year N, this amount shall not be considered in Variation of BE on risks covered after the period, but, instead in Variation of BE on risks covered during the period, as this provision turned to Claims provisions.’;

REGULATION (EU) 2018/1845 OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK

of 21 November 2018

on the exercise of the discretion under Article 178(2)(d) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 in relation to the threshold for assessing the materiality of credit obligations past due (ECB/2018/26)

THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 of 15 October 2013 conferring specific tasks on the European Central Bank concerning policies relating to the prudential supervision of credit institutions (1), and in particular Article 4(3), Article 6, and Article 9(1) and (2) thereof,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms and amending Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 (2), and in particular Article 178(2) thereof,

Having regard to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/171 of 19 October 2017 on supplementing Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards for the materiality threshold for credit obligations past due (3), in particular Articles 1 to 3 and 6 thereof,

Having regard to the public consultation and the analysis carried out pursuant to Article 4(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013,

Having regard to the proposal from the Supervisory Board approved in accordance with Article 26(7) of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013,

Whereas:

(1)

The European Central Bank (ECB) is empowered to adopt regulations in accordance with Article 132 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. In addition, Article 132 of the Treaty and Article 34 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank (hereinafter the ‘Statute of the ESCB’), by referring to Article 25.2 of the Statute of the ESCB, entrust the ECB with regulatory powers to the extent necessary to implement specific tasks concerning policies relating to the prudential supervision of credit institutions.

(2)

European Union law concerning prudential requirements for credit institutions provides for options and discretions that competent authorities may exercise.

(3)

The ECB is the competent authority in the participating Member States as established by relevant Union law for the purpose of carrying out its microprudential tasks within the single supervisory mechanism (SSM) under Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 in respect of credit institutions that are classified as significant in accordance with Article 6(4) of that Regulation and Part IV and Article 147(1) of Regulation (EU) No 468/2014 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2014/17) (4). Therefore, it has all the powers and obligations that competent authorities have under relevant Union law. In particular, the ECB has the power to exercise the options and discretions available in Union law.

(4)

The ECB carries out its supervisory tasks within the SSM, which should ensure that the Union's policy relating to the prudential supervision of credit institutions is implemented in a coherent and effective manner, that the single rulebook for financial services is applied in the same manner to credit institutions in all Member States concerned, and that those credit institutions are subject to supervision of the highest quality. In carrying out its supervisory tasks, the ECB should have full regard to the diversity of credit institutions and their size and business models, as well as the systemic benefits of diversity in the Union's banking industry.

(5)

The consistent application of prudential requirements for credit institutions within the Member States participating in the SSM is a specific objective of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 and Regulation (EU) No 468/2014 (ECB/2014/17) and is entrusted to the ECB.

(6)

In accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013, the ECB applies all relevant Union law and, where this Union law is composed of directives, the national legislation transposing those directives. Where the relevant Union law is composed of regulations and where currently those regulations explicitly grant options and discretions for Member States, the ECB should also apply the national legislation exercising those options and discretions. Such national legislation should not affect the smooth functioning of the SSM, for which the ECB is responsible.

(7)

Such options and discretions do not include those granted by Union law to competent authorities which the ECB is solely competent to exercise and should exercise as appropriate.

(8)

In exercising options and discretions, the ECB should take account of the general principles of Union law, in particular equal treatment, proportionality and the legitimate expectations of supervised credit institutions.

(9)

With regard to the legitimate expectations of supervised credit institutions, the ECB acknowledges the need to allow for transitional periods where its exercise of discretions significantly departs from the approach taken by the national competent authorities prior to the entry into force of this Regulation. In this respect, both credit institutions applying the Standardised Approach and the Internal Ratings Based Approach should have an appropriate transitional period. Therefore, credit institutions must apply the threshold for the assessment of the materiality of a credit obligation past due set by this Regulation not later than 31 December 2020 and must notify the ECB, before 1 June 2019, of the exact date on which they will commence applying such threshold.

(10)

Article 178(2)(d) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 gives the competent authorities the power to set a threshold for assessing the materiality of a credit obligation past due as referred to in Article 178(1)(b). In setting such a threshold, the ECB should take into account the criteria set out in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/171.

(11)

The ECB considers that the threshold in this Regulation for assessing the materiality of a credit obligation past due as referred to in Article 178(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 reflects a reasonable level of risk and its application will enable increased comparability of capital requirements among supervised credit institutions.

(12)

Article 143(1)(b) of Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) requires competent authorities to publish the manner of exercise of the options and discretions available in Union law,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Subject matter and scope

The ECB hereby exercises the discretion conferred on competent authorities under Article 178(2)(d) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 in relation to the threshold for assessing the materiality of credit obligations past due.

3.   A default shall be deemed to have occurred when both of the limits set out in points (a) and (b) of paragraph 1 are exceeded for 90 consecutive days.

Article 4

Date of application of the materiality threshold

Credit institutions shall apply the threshold for the assessment of the materiality of a credit obligation past due set by this Regulation not later than 31 December 2020. They shall notify the ECB, before 1 June 2019, of the exact date on which they will commence applying such threshold.
