(2)In order to allow competent authorities to perform their duties and allow investors and potential investors to perform their due diligence, sufficiently detailed information, relevant to the STS notification, is necessary to determine whether the STS criteria is satisfied. Specifically, the rationale for selecting a homogeneity factor and for excluding others should be included in the notification to inform the assessment of the homogeneity criterion. For certain STS criteria, simple confirmation of compliance is sufficient while other criteria require further information. It is therefore necessary to distinguish requirements for which a simple confirmation is sufficient from those for which a concise explanation or a detailed explanation is necessary.
