Subject matter

Article 1

This Regulation further specifies the additional objective criteria laid down in Article 29(2) and Article 34(2) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/61 for the purposes of the application of the waiver set out therein.

Low liquidity risk profile of the liquidity provider and receiver

Article 2

1. The low liquidity risk profile referred to in point (a) of Article 29(2) and in point (a) of Article 34(2) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/61 shall satisfy the following conditions: (a) the liquidity provider and receiver have complied with the required level of the liquidity coverage ratio as set out in Articles 4 and 38 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/61, as well as any liquidity-related supervisory requirements or measures applied pursuant to Title VII, Chapter 2, Sections III and IV of Directive 2013/36/EU, on an on-going basis and for at least 12 months prior to the authorisation to apply the preferential outflow or inflow rate for undrawn credit or liquidity facilities pursuant to Article 29(1) and Article 34(1) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/61; (b) the liquidity provider and receiver's liquidity positions pose a low level of risk according to the latest supervisory review and evaluation process conducted in accordance with Title VII, Chapter 2, Section III of Directive 2013/36/EU. For the purposes of determining whether the condition referred to in point (a) of this paragraph is satisfied, the required level of the liquidity coverage ratio shall be calculated on the basis that the preferential liquidity outflow or inflow rate applied during the twelve month period referred to in that point. 2. Where the liquidity provider or receiver has been granted permission from the relevant competent authorities to waive the condition set out in point (d) of Article 29(1) and point (d) of Article 34(1) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/61 and a liquidity provider or receiver does not meet or expects not to meet the required level of the liquidity coverage ratio set out in Articles 4 and 38 of that Delegated Regulation, or any liquidity related supervisory requirements or measures applied under Title VII, Chapter 2, Sections III and IV of Directive 2013/36/EU, it shall immediately notify the relevant competent authorities and include a description of the effects of such failure to meet that liquidity coverage ratio or any liquidity related supervisory requirements or measures on the corresponding preferential outflow or inflow rate applied to its counterparty. 3. Where the liquidity provider or receiver has been granted permission from the relevant competent authorities to waive the condition set out in point (d) of Article 29(1) and point (d) of Article 34(1) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/61 and a liquidity provider or receiver does not meet or expects not to meet the required level of the liquidity coverage ratio set out in that Delegated Regulation, the notification referred to in paragraph 2 shall be included in the immediate notification and restoration plan required under Article 414 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013. 4. In the cases referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3, the relevant competent authorities shall determine whether the preferential outflow or inflow rates continue to apply in accordance with the process referred to in point (b) of Article 20(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013.

Legally binding agreements and commitments between the group entities regarding the undrawn credit or liquidity line

Article 3

1. The legally binding agreements and commitments referred to in point (b) of Article 29(2) and in point (b) of Article 34(2) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/61 shall satisfy the following conditions: (a) the credit or liquidity line is a committed line which is legally and practically available at any time, for the duration of the facility, even during a period of stress, on a cross-border basis. It is specifically dedicated to the application of the preferential outflow or inflow rate provided for in Articles 29 and 34 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/61 and available on demand. For these purposes, credit institutions have conducted sufficient legal review supported by a written and reasoned legal opinion approved by their management bodies, confirming the legal validity and enforceability of the credit or liquidity line agreement or commitment in all relevant jurisdictions; (b) the currency denomination of the committed credit or liquidity line is consistent with the distribution by currency of the net liquidity outflows of the liquidity receiver that are unrelated to the line; (c) the amount and the cost of the committed credit or liquidity line are clearly specified in the relevant contract; (d) the agreements and commitments do not contain any clause that would allow the liquidity provider to: (i) require any conditions to be fulfilled before the liquidity is provided; (ii) withdraw from its obligations to fulfil these agreements and commitments; (iii) change the terms of the agreements and commitments without prior approval from the relevant competent authorities; (e) the credit or liquidity line has a remaining maturity of over six months at all times. If the credit or liquidity line does not have a maturity date, it has a minimum notice period for cancellation of six months. 2. The legal review referred to in point (a) of paragraph 1 shall be regularly updated to reflect any changes in the laws of all relevant jurisdictions. Competent authorities shall be notified of the outcome of these legal reviews. 3. The amount of the credit or liquidity line referred to in point (c) of paragraph 1 shall not be revised without the prior consent of the relevant competent authorities. 4. If the remaining maturity referred to in point (e) of paragraph 1 falls below six months or a notice for cancellation of the credit or liquidity line is given, credit institutions shall immediately notify the relevant competent authorities. Those authorities shall determine whether the preferential outflow or inflow rates continue to apply in accordance with the process referred to in point (b) of Article 20(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013.

Consideration of the liquidity risk profile of the liquidity receiver in the liquidity risk management of the liquidity provider

Article 4

The liquidity risk profile of the liquidity receiver is taken into account in the liquidity risk management of the liquidity provider as referred to in point (c) of Article 29(2) and in point (c) of Article 34(2) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/61 where the following conditions are satisfied: (a) the liquidity provider monitors and oversees the liquidity position of the receiver on a daily basis. In case of correspondent banking, the monitoring and the oversight of the liquidity position of the receiver may be limited to the balances of the vostro accounts of the liquidity receiver; (b) the effects of the preferential outflow or inflow rate are fully considered and integrated into the contingency funding plans of the liquidity provider and the liquidity receiver, which take into account potential impediments to the transfer of such liquidity and assess the time needed to implement such a transfer. For these purposes, the liquidity provider demonstrates to the relevant competent authorities that it can reasonably be expected to continue to provide the liquidity facility to the liquidity receiver even in times of stress, without having a material adverse impact on its own liquidity position. The contingency funding plan of the liquidity provider ensures that it does not rely on the liquidity needed to honour the committed credit or liquidity line of the liquidity receiver; (c) the contingency funding plan of the liquidity provider takes into account the preferential outflow or inflow rate in order to ensure its ability to provide the necessary liquidity when required.
