Article 7
Risk concentration
1. Without prejudice to the sectoral rules, supplementary
supervision of the risk concentration of regulated entities in a
financial conglomerate shall be exercised in accordance with the
rules laid down in Article 9(2) to (4), in Section 3 of this
Chapter and in Annex II.
2. The Member States shall require regulated entities or mixed
financial holding companies to report on a regular basis and at
least annually to the coordinator any significant risk
concentration at the level of the financial conglomerate, in
accordance with the rules laid down in this Article and in Annex
II.
The necessary information shall be submitted to the coordinator by
the regulated entity within the meaning of Article 1 which is at
the head of the financial conglomerate or,
where the financial conglomerate is not headed by a regulated
entity within the meaning of Article 1, by the mixed financial
holding company or by the regulated entity in the financial
conglomerate identified by the coordinator after consultation with
the other relevant competent authorities and with the financial
conglomerate.
These risk concentrations shall be subject to supervisory overview
by the coordinator in accordance with Section 3.
3. Pending further coordination of Community legislation, Member
States may set quantitative limits or allow their competent
authorities to set quantitative limits, or take other supervisory
measures which would achieve the objectives of supplementary
supervision, with regard to any risk concentration at the level of
a financial conglomerate.
4. Where a financial conglomerate is headed by a mixed financial
holding company, the sectoral rules regarding risk concentration
of the most important financial sector in the
financial conglomerate, if any, shall apply to that sector as a
whole, including the mixed financial holding company.
