Summary What does Article 20 of the RTS on group-wide minimum requirements and additional measures for third-country subsidiaries and branches say?
This is a standard entry into force and application article, establishing when the regulation takes effect and becomes enforceable.
It sets out a general application timeline for most obliged entities, while carving out a later deadline for a specific subset of obliged entities referenced in Regulation (EU) 2024/1624.
The article also confirms the regulation's direct applicability across all Member States without the need for national transposition.
Important points:
- The regulation enters into force 20 days after publication and applies 6 months after that for most obliged entities.
- Obliged entities falling under Article 3, points (3)(n) and (o) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1624 have an extended deadline, with the regulation applying to them from 10 July 2029.
- The regulation is binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
