Artikel 3 Tidsfrist


Summary What does Article 3 of the RTS on stress test programmes say?

This article directly follows on from Article 2, which governs the process by which a competent authority issues a decision requiring an issuer to increase its own funds.

Article 3 deals specifically with the timeframe a competent authority must grant an issuer of asset-referenced tokens or e-money tokens to comply with that increased own funds requirement.

It sets an outer boundary on how long that window can be and defines the factors a competent authority must weigh when determining the appropriate length of time.

Important points:

  • Competent authorities are required to set a compliance timeframe that cannot exceed six months from the notification of the final decision under Article 2.
  • Competent authorities are required to factor in the degree of risk to the financial stability of the wider financial system or of the issuer, as well as any deficiencies in the issuer's governance or business model, when setting that timeframe.
  • The six-month maximum is the default rule, but it is subject to the considerations in paragraph 2, meaning the timeframe set may be shorter depending on the risk assessment.

Springlex's summary of the article, a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.

    1. Utan att det påverkar tillämpningen av punkt 2 ska den behöriga myndigheten fastställa en tidsfrist på högst sex månader från delgivningen av det slutliga beslut som avses i artikel 2.4 inom vilken utgivaren av tillgångsanknutna token eller e-pengatoken måste anpassa sig till det högre kapitalbaskrav som fastställts på grundval av den behöriga myndighetens bedömning enligt artikel 35.3 i förordning (EU) 2023/1114.

    1. När den behöriga myndigheten fastställer den tidsfrist inom vilken utgivaren av tillgångsanknutna token eller e-pengatoken måste anpassa sig till ett högre kapitalbaskrav ska den beakta potentiella högre risker som kan ha en väsentlig inverkan på hela det finansiella systemets eller utgivarens finansiella stabilitet och eventuella brister i den berörda utgivarens styrning eller affärsmodell.
