The amendment follows the European Commission's request to amend the draft RTS using the specifications provided by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.
The EBA has amended the draft RTS on additional collateral outflows to include the BCBS's HLBA approach which had been clarified by way of a Frequently Asked Question in April 2014.
The BCBS approach focuses on the largest net difference in collateral posted instead of the largest gross difference.
The Commission's assessment of the draft RTS was delayed pending its adoption of a Delegated Act on the liquidity coverage ratio of October 2014. In December 2015, the Commission raised concerns that the EBA's HLBA approach could have a significant impact on credit institutions and international derivative markets and, therefore, decided not to adopt the draft RTS as it had been submitted by the EBA, but signalled its willingness to endorse an amended version based on the BCBS's HLBA approach.
