Public consultation on the draft ECB Guide on notification of securitisation transactions

On 5 November 2021 the Governing Council did not object to a proposal by the Supervisory Board to launch a public consultation on the draft ECB Guide on notification of securitisation transactions. The non-binding Guide aims to set out the notification practices that significant institutions (SIs) acting as originators or sponsors of a securitisation transaction are advised to follow in order to provide the ECB with the information needed to supervise compliance with Articles 6 to 8 of the Securitisation Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2017/2402), as specified in Article 7 of that Regulation. Underlying documentation will be made available for consultation on 15 November 2021 on the ECB’s banking supervision website.

Appointment of two alternates and one member to the Administrative Board of Review

On 10 November 2021 the Governing Council appointed Mr Pentti Hakkarainen as a member of the Administrative Board of Review (ABoR) for a term of five years, starting from 1 February 2022, with the clear proviso that he cannot participate in ABoR requests for review in relation to ECB supervisory decisions in which he was involved as a member of the Supervisory Board and would need to be replaced by an alternate in such a case. It also appointed Ms Christiane Campill and Mr Damir Odak as alternates of the ABoR for a term of five years, starting as soon as possible. The ABoR carries out internal administrative reviews of the ECB’s supervisory decisions, at the request of any person or legal entity directly affected by an ECB supervisory decision, ensuring that such decisions are compliant with the rules and procedures. Further information on the ABoR is available on the ECB’s banking supervision website.
