‘2 NCBs may grant derogations from any of the following statistical reporting requirements relating to interest rates on, and business volumes of, collateralised or guaranteed loans to non-financial corporations: (a) indicators 62 to 79 in Table 3 of Appendix 2 to Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1072/2013 (ECB/2013/34); and (b) indicators 81, 83 and 85 in Table 4 of Appendix 2 to Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1072/2013 (ECB/2013/34), provided that the national aggregate business volume of total loans in the corresponding loan size category and initial period of interest-rate fixation category, as set out in indicators 37 to 54 in Table 2 of Appendix 2 to Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1072/2013 (ECB/2013/34), represents less than: (i) 10 % of the national aggregate business volume of the sum of all loans in the same size category; and (ii) 2 % of the euro area aggregate business volume for the same size and same initial period of interest-rate fixation category. Derogations granted by NCBs pursuant to this paragraph shall be without prejudice to Article 4 of Regulation (EU) No 1072/2013 (ECB/2013/34).’;

‘1 Where the statistical information on MIR received by the NCBs does not represent the reference reporting population due to the use of sampling, NCBs shall select and maintain the sample and gross up statistical information on the new business volumes to ensure that 100 % of the reference reporting population is represented, as specified in Part 2 of Annex III to this Guideline.’;

‘6 The Governing Council of the ECB may delegate to the Executive Board the power to grant or withdraw the permission to apply the threshold referred to in paragraph 1(c) pursuant to paragraph 2. When exercising that delegated power, the Executive Board shall consider whether the reporting burden for the relevant NCB would be disproportionately affected in the absence of the threshold.’.

1 This Guideline shall take effect on the day of its notification to the national central banks of the Member States whose currency is the euro.

2 The national central banks of the Member States whose currency is the euro and the European Central Bank shall comply with this Guideline from 1 February 2022.
