Instructions to follow regarding new EBA Resolution Reporting

The Z_01.02 template of the RESOL1 survey , according to “Annex II – instructions” , should represent the situation of the shareholdings of the companies in a group, greater than 2% . The template requires that in the “code of Investor (c0020)” column we enter the code of the company that holds the participation, and in the “code of Investee (c0050)” column we enter the code of the company that is being participated. In some cases, the relationship between the two columns (Investor/Investee) is “1 to 1” : one Investor holds a participation in only one Investee. In other cases, the relationship between the two columns can be “1 to many” : one Investor holds participations in multiple Investees. However, in the annotated table layout of sheet Z_01.02 , the only key value is indicated as “code of Investor – c0020” only, which therefore cannot be duplicated in the template in the situation where one investor holds participations in many investees. This rule does not allow us to correctly represent the information required by the template, because the case of a group company (investor) that holds participations in “n” other companies (investees) would violate the rule of the single key value ( code of Investor – c0020 ). The filling of this template with exclusively the key value of column 0020, would give an incorrect representation of the requested data.
