(2)Credit institutions should use transaction data templates for non-performing credit agreements when selling or transferring non-performing credit agreements that are included in a portfolio for sales or transfers, in order to provide prospective buyers with all necessary information thereby enabling them to properly assess the value of the creditor’s rights under the non-performing credit agreement, or of the non-performing credit agreement itself, and the likelihood of recovery of the value. Applying such data templates to credit agreements would also reduce information asymmetries between prospective buyers and sellers of credit agreements and, thus, contribute to the development of a functioning secondary market in the Union. Credit institutions should use the templates in sales or transfers of such credit agreements involving a change to the lender of record under the credit agreement concerned.
