Article 9a(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 refers generally to the fact that the EBA is to ensure that information is made available to reporting authorities on a need-to-know and confidential basis, while Article 9a(3) of that Regulation refers specifically to reasoned requests.

To that end, the particular elements of the reasoned request to be received by the EBA from reporting authorities should also be set out.
