Technical background for the definition of filing rules XBRL is a framework for the definition of data formats provides a high degree of flexibility for the creation of taxonomies and instance documents flexibility requires complex IT systems to react appropriately on all possible variants that the standard allows, like definition of units, accuracy of values, usage of footnotes, periods, identifiers etc. Page 3

Comparison of the Filing Manuals Page 11

Level of harmonisation CEN <-> EBA CEN rules adopted by EBA March 2014 8 of 32 define a different severity Number of CEN rules: 34 Number of EBA rules: 39 Page 12 CEN EBA

Issues identified CEN <-> EBA First set of rules was reduced from 48 to 35 rules Some previously rejected rules have been added to the EBA rule set One rule seems to have a lack of details The indication of the severity is unclear is required = MUST is recommended = SHOULD; sometimes MAY 13

Level of harmonisation EBA <-> NCAs EBA rules adopted by DE, DK, UK March 2014 EBA NCA s Page 14

Decrease in harmonisation 15

Problems identified EBA <-> NCAs Harmonisation on technical level is not reached International acting reporting entities have to be prepared for the different validation requirements Some based on national language-dependent description NCAs might need to amend the file for transmitting it to ECB or EBA (i. e. duplicate facts are not restricted) Software prepared for the validation of the EBA Filing Rules does not cover all rules defined across Europe Page 16

Possible counter-measures Amending the CEN Filing Rules according to the amendments introduced by EBA Interested parties? Define a clear severity for each rule Ease the description of the rule (too technical? ) Raise awareness in the Eurofiling community Eurofiling workshop (Done!) Conference call Publication of the analysis results at eurofiling. info Raise the issue at EBA level Page 17
