The standards cover templates, instructions, and methodology for MREL as part of the application of the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR) and the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD). The Annexes to Regulation 2021/763 contain reporting templates and instructions, validation rules, standardized format for insolvency rankings, and disclosure templates and instructions. Regulation 2021/763 shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. Provisions on supervisory reporting shall apply from June 28, 2021 while provisions on disclosures shall apply from June 01, 2021, with certain exceptions.
Entities subject to reporting requirements for the total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC) and the MREL on an individual or consolidated basis (reporting entities) shall submit information to competent authorities and to resolution authorities as it stands on the following reporting reference dates:
- For quarterly reporting—March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31
