The European Banking Authority (EBA) released two public consultations on the Implementing Technical Standard (ITS) for financial institutions’ public disclosure and on supervisory reporting for CRR2. The Draft [ITS] on public disclosures by institutions of the information referred to in Titles II and III of Part Eight of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 was developed to create uniform disclosure formats under the regulation, as well as update EBA’s policies on the Pillar 3 disclosures, “in order to foster the role of institutions’ disclosures in promoting market discipline through… the development of a comprehensive implementing technical standard (ITS) on disclosure.” The European Network of Credit Unions (ENCU) applauded the EBA’s priority to honor Basel 3’s proportionate approach to small and non-complex institutions by decreasing the number or required disclosures and allowing them to focus only on key metrics. ENCU, however, urged the EBA to provide more detailed guidance within their templates, tables and accompanying instructions regarding which disclosures specifically apply to small and non-complex institutions.

ENCU's response to the EBA's Draft Implementing Technical Standard for Financial Institutions' Public Disclosure can be found here.
