Recital 1

(1)It is appropriate to provide for implementing technical standards to facilitate the convergence of supervisory practices with regard to the implementation of a uniform approach to assess institutions' material non-compliance with the requirements by reason of negligence or omission, and to the application of the additional risk weights. In order to facilitate the convergence of supervisory practices when applying additional risk weights, an appropriate formula should be defined. That formula should impose a proportionate additional risk weight of no less than 250 % which progressively increases with subsequent infringements of Articles 405, 406 or 409 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013. An appropriate factor should be introduced in the formula to allow for a lower additional risk weight to apply in the cases of exposures exempted pursuant to Article 405(3) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013.
