Recital 3

(3)To ensure that group resolution plans effectively cover the group concerned, the reporting obligations imposed on Union parent undertakings should not be limited to resolution entities only, but should also concern other relevant legal entities. Such relevance should, however, be properly delineated to exclude reporting for entities that are not relevant for the group or that are not systemically important. To that end, thresholds should be set to identify those legal entities of the group on which resolution reporting requirements should be imposed. Furthermore, Directive (EU) 2024/1174 of the European Parliament and of the Council ³ amended Directive 2014/59/EU by introducing, inter alia, a definition of ‘liquidation entity’. To take into account that new definition, it is necessary to differentiate between resolution reporting requirements for liquidation entities, for resolution entities, and for entities belonging to resolution groups. In particular, it is necessary to specify reporting obligations taking into account whether the entities concerned are stand-alone entities, or belong to groups, and whether such entities or groups have been identified, or include entities which have been identified, as liquidation entities. Those reporting obligations should be set out on an individual, sub-consolidated or consolidated level in a way that ensures proportionality, does not compromise effective resolution planning, relieves entities from parallel data collections coming from different authorities, and removes overlapping data points with supervisory reporting frameworks. That should be achieved through the implementation of an approach that modulates the number of templates depending on the type of reporting entity concerned. Particular attention should also be given to resolution groups consisting of credit institutions permanently affiliated to a central body and the central body itself to ensure that resolution reporting effectively covers all the credit institutions permanently affiliated to the central body of that resolution group, the central body itself, and their respective subsidiaries, on an individual, sub-consolidated and consolidated level.
