COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2009/83/EC

of 27 July 2009

amending certain Annexes to Directive 2006/48/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards technical provisions concerning risk management

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Directive 2006/48/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2006 relating to the taking up and pursuit of the business of credit institutions (1), in particular Article 150(1)(l) thereof,

Whereas:

 

(1)

In order to ensure a coherent implementation and application throughout the EU of Directive 2006/48/EC, the Commission and the Committee of European Banking Supervisors set up a working group (Capital Requirements Directive Transposition Group — CRDTG) in 2006, entrusted with the task of discussing and resolving issues related to the implementation and application of that Directive. According to the CRDTG, certain technical provisions included in Annexes V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X and XII to Directive 2006/48/EC need to be further specified in order to ensure a convergent application. Moreover, certain provisions are not commensurate with sound risk management practices of credit institutions. It is therefore appropriate to adjust these provisions.

 

(2)

For the sake of achievement of the internal market, the ways in which a credit institution can demonstrate that there is significant transfer of risk off its balance sheet should be clarified. It is also appropriate to increase the credit conversion factor for liquidity facilities granted by credit institutions to off-balance sheet vehicles.

 

(3)

Directive 2006/48/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

 

(4)

The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the European Banking Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

2.
