AI Summary of Article 270e Securitisation mapping.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) is mandated to develop draft implementing technical standards aimed at objectively and consistently mapping the credit quality steps relative to various credit assessments by External Credit Assessment Institutions (ECAIs). This involves differentiating the degrees of risk indicated by each assessment, while evaluating both quantitative factors like default rates and qualitative factors including assessment methodologies.

A key objective is to ensure that securitisation positions assigned identical risk weights under ECAI assessments reflect comparable levels of credit risk. The EBA is required to submit these draft standards to the Commission by 1 July 2014, with the Commission holding the authority to adopt them under Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010.

Article 270e Securitisation mapping.

The EBA shall develop draft implementing technical standards to map in an objective and consistent manner the credit quality steps set out in this Chapter relative to the relevant credit assessments of all ECAIs. For the purposes of this Article, the EBA shall in particular:

(a) differentiate between the relative degrees of risk expressed by each assessment;

(b) consider quantitative factors, such as default or loss rates and the historical performance of credit assessments of each ECAI across different asset classes;

(c) consider qualitative factors such as the range of transactions assessed by the ECAI, its methodology and the meaning of its credit assessments in particular whether such assessments take into account expected loss or first Euro loss, and timely payment of interests or ultimate payment of interests;

(d) seek to ensure that securitisation positions to which the same risk weight is applied on the basis of the credit assessments of ECAIs are subject to equivalent degrees of credit risk.

The EBA shall submit those draft implementing technical standards to the Commission by 1 July 2014.

Power is conferred on the Commission to adopt the implementing technical standards referred to in the first subparagraph of this paragraph in accordance with Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010.
