in force 2020-01-01 MODIFIED+657 −156§
Amended by Regulation (EU) 2019/2175 32019R2175
applies from: unchanged
The heading now adds the phrase including stress tests, and paragraph 1 replaces the requirement for an economic analysis of markets with a requirement for an analysis of markets, while also inserting a comma before the ESRB reference.
Paragraph 2 removes the explicit reference to cooperation with the ESRB in its opening sentence and instead adds a closing sentence stating that the Authority shall cooperate with the ESRB for the purposes of that paragraph, while the list of methodologies is expanded with a new point (aa) on identifying financial institutions for Union-wide assessments, a new point (e) on environmental risk methodologies, and point (a) now refers to taking into account risks stemming from adverse environmental developments, with points (a), (c) and (d) also changed to refer to a financial institution rather than an institution.
Paragraph 3 adds a reference to the assessments being provided in combination with the risk dashboard referred to in Article 22(2), and paragraph 3b is reworded so that it now describes requiring financial institutions to make information provided under paragraph 3a subject to an independent audit, rather than describing the audit requirement in the earlier phrasing.
