            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2018/1580
of 19 October 2018
         
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2197 laying down implementing technical standards with regard to closely correlated currencies in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council
(Text with EEA relevance)


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,


Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms and amending Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 (1) and in particular Article 354(3) thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


In order to ensure that the currency pairs referred to in the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2197 (2) continue to reflect the actual correlation between the relevant currencies, it is necessary to update the list of closely correlated currencies.












(2)


The list uses 31 March 2017 as the end date for the purpose of computing the three and five year data series required to assess the currency pairs in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 575/2013.












(3)


This Regulation is based on the draft implementing technical standards submitted by the European Banking Authority (EBA) to the Commission.












(4)


Given that the necessary amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2197 do not involve significant changes in substantive terms, in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 (3), EBA has not conducted an open public consultation, considering that it would be disproportionate in relation to the scope and impact of the draft implementing technical standards concerned.












(5)


Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2197 should therefore be amended accordingly,





HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:



Article 1

Article 2

Entry into force
