* **Action Required**: Adapt application and assessment processes to reflect amendments. Specifically, Credit Institutions will need to consider new standardised approaches for operational risk. Competent Authorities need to review and adjust supervisory practices.
**Consolidating Supervisors**
* **Impact**: New responsibilities regarding involving third-country supervisory authorities in the assessment process and forwarding applications promptly.
* **Action Required**: Establish processes to involve third-country authorities and ensure efficient application forwarding.
**Third Country Supervisory Authorities**
* **Impact**: Potential involvement in the assessment of applications if the applicant operates in the third country and intends to apply methodologies to exposures there.
* **Action Required**: Cooperate with the consolidating supervisor to provide contributions to the assessment report.
**European Banking Authority (EBA)**

of 20 November 2025
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/100 laying down implementing technical standards

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 amending Regulation (EU) No 648/2012(1), and in particular
Article 20(8), third subparagraph thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EU) 2024/1623 of the European Parliament and of the Council(2) replaced Title III of Part Three of
Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, which had as a consequence the replacement of all existing approaches for estimating
the own funds requirements for operational risk of institutions, including the Advanced Measurement Approach,
with a single non-model-based method, namely the new standardised approach for operational risk.
(2) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/100(3), specifies the joint decision process with regard to the
application for certain prudential permissions, including the Advanced Measurement Approach. Given the
amendments to Title III of Part Three of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, and in particular the replacement of the
Advanced Measurement Approach with the new standardised approach for operational risk, it is necessary to amend
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/100 to take into account those amendments.
(3) Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/1496(4) inserted into Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 a new
Article 520a, under which institutions are obliged to continue to apply Part Three, Title IV, and the market risk
requirements of Articles 430, 430b, 445 and 455 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 in the version in force on 8 July
2024 until 1 January 2027. It follows that the reference to Article 363 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 concerning
the permission to use internal models for the purpose of calculating own funds requirements for market risk should
be maintained in this Regulation.
(4) This Regulation is based on the draft implementing technical standards submitted to the Commission by the
European Banking Authority (EBA).
(5) EBA has conducted open public consultations on the draft implementing technical standards on which this
Regulation is based, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the advice of the Banking
Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 of the European
Parliament and of the Council(5),
