The CSSF intends to integrate the Guidelines into its regulatory approach and administrative practice with a view to promote supervisory convergence in this field at European level. All Less Significant Institutions 1 and branches of non EU credit institutions that fall within the scope of application as set out in section 2 of this circular (InScope Entities) shall duly comply with it.</p>\n<p>The Guidelines The EBA has published the EBA/GL/2020/07 dated 2 June 2020 to introduce reporting and disclosure requirements in the context of measures taken by credit institutions in response to the COVID-19 crisis, covering both payment moratoria on existing loans and public guarantees on new lending exposures (the Measures). The Guidelines introduce reporting templates, including in relation to forborne exposures, where such Measures are not captured in the existing supervisory reporting framework. The Guidelines require competent authorities to specify the content and uniform formats when exercising the supervisory powers for reporting and disclosure of exposures subject to the Measures through a set of templates as described in the Annexes of the Guidelines. Institutions falling within the scope of application as set out in section 2 of this circular shall report the exposures as detailed in paragraphs 13 to 15 of the Guidelines and disclose information in accordance with paragraph 19 of the Guidelines to the CSSF. These reporting and disclosure requirements are put forward strictly in the context of the COVID-19 crisis and are therefore expected to be limited in time.</p>\n<p>“Significant supervised entities” as defined in Article 2, point 16 of Regulation (EU) No 468/2014 of the European Central Bank (ECB) of 16 April 2014 (SSM Framework Regulation) shall refer to the relevant ECB rules.</p>\n<p>The EBA/GL/2020/07 and its Annexes are available on the EBA website at: <a href=\"https://eba.europa.eu/regulation-and-policy/supervisory-reporting/Guidelinescovid-19-measures-reporting-and-disclosure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">https://eba.europa.eu/regulation-and-policy/supervisory-reporting/Guidelinescovid-19-measures-reporting-and-disclosure</a>.</p>\n<p>Scope of application Reporting requirements and templates/tables Less Significant Institutions and branches of non EU credit institutions (In-Scope Entities) shall submit on a quarterly basis: 1. Tables 90.01 and 91.01 if they apply the industry-wide moratorium in Luxembourg as coordinated by the ABBL for related exposures; and 2. Tables 90.03 and 91.05 if they have signed the Convention with the Luxembourg State Treasury to originate loans covered by the Luxembourg State Guarantee in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic pursuant to the Law of 8 April 2020 for related exposures. In consideration of the evolution of the risk related to the Covid-19 crisis and the necessity to monitor such risk at the national and supranational level, the CSSF may request In-Scope Entities to submit additional reporting, in particular: 1.</p>\n<p>The text above is the opening of the document; the PDF carries the whole.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.cssf.lu/en/Document/circular-cssf-20-748/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Document page</a>, <a href=\"https://www.cssf.lu/wp-content/uploads/cssf20_748eng.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">PDF</a>.
