Level 1 to 3 Regulation at a glance

The Securitisation Regulation as a level 1 regulation of the EU is directly applicable in all EU member states without the need for transposition into national law.

In order to achieve a clear and uniform application of the new regulation throughout Europe, the Securitisation Regulation requires the ESMA and EBA to issue numerous Level 2 regulations in the form of RTS and ITS (Regulatory and Implementing Technical Standards, RTS and ITS) as well as guidelines (Level 3 regulation).
In particular, the extensive STS criteria need to be specified in terms of how they are to be interpreted and how compliance with the STS criteria can be demonstrated and, if necessary, verified by an independent third-party verifier.

In addition, the three European supervisory authorities EBA, ESMA and EIOPA coordinate their work and that of the competent national authorities within the framework of the Joint Committee of European Supervisory Authorities (Joint Committee). In this way, they clarify practical issues related to the Securitisation Regulation in general and STS securitisations in particular and ensure consistency in regulation.
