Recital 1

(1)An efficient and timely cooperation between competent authorities of home and host Member States requires, within the respective supervisory competences of those authorities, an adequate two-way information exchange. To support this objective, standard forms, templates and operating procedures, including timelines, should be established for the exchange of information. As the information exchanged should be timely and up-to-date, competent authorities should strive to exchange information as early as practicable, without undue delay, ahead of the expiry of any maximum remittance deadline.
