General note: below minutes are written by Eurofiling and are not official statements by the mentioned organisations.

EBA update

The planning for taxonomy 3.3 is to publish in several phases.

A discussion is held on the additional checks, implemented by the ECB. These are separate from the EBA taxonomy due to a difference in legal scope of application.

ECB update

ECB will publish an update to the SFRDP taxonomy version 5.1 based on FINREP published by EBA.

SRB update

no update

EIOPA update

EIOPA is finalising the Pension funds 2.9.0 taxonomy. An internal working draft will be shared with members next week and EIOPA plans to publish the public working draft on 15 May for consultation.

Working meetings with members are started regarding the use of CSV files, though it will not be mandatory for EIOPA, but additional option.

The new XBRL architecture derived from the DPM Refit project will be published soon.

ESMA update

ESMA published the activity report that includes a section on the application of ESEF and what NCQs has been receiving on the 2021 financial reports. The results were quite good.

2) Eurofiling Workshop at ECB in Frankfurt, 13-14 June: please do not forget to register! Limited seats.

Event website and registration: https://2023.eurofiling.info/registration

A rapid fire session is included to allow innovative solutions to present themselves.

3) XBRL International conference in October (Data Amplified).

AOB

XBRL International is working on a draft taxonomy for currencies and countries.

Eurofiling colleagues have looked at the first ideas and it is observed that this taxonomy will – if used – likely be extended because besides countries, also regions and other geographical clusters are needed for various types of reporting.

General note: below minutes are written by Eurofiling and are not official statements by the mentioned organisations.

EBA update

Release 3.3 will be delivered in 3 phases.

A draft for 3.3.p1 will be sent to NCA’s for review at the end of the month. Publication is expected for early May. It will contain 3 new frameworks: Pillar 3, ESG and Intermediate Parent Undertaking. Phase 2 will contain a new version of framework SBP and be available in July. Phase 3 will contain a new version of framework MREL/TLAC and be available in October.

EBA and EIOPA have developed a new architecture for taxonomies implementing DPM Refit.

This new architecture has been reviewed by the EBA XBRL SubGroup.

A public review is planned for April. The document will be accompanied by a sample taxonomy and report.

The first use of the new architecture is planned for release 3.4, but might be delayed to release 4.0.

XBRL International has given an update to the EBA XBRL SubGroup and IT Sounding Board on the development of new specifications of Formula.

Those developments are in line with the plans outlined by EBA to switch completely to xBRL-CSV as of reference period December 2025.

A discussion was held on pros and cons of the structure of the xBRL-CSV files that EBA uses.

A participant mentioned that the Bank & Insurance Working Group of XBRL EU is investigating a new, more performant and more readable way to formulate validation rules.

EIOPA update

Technical difficulties prohibited EIOPA from attending.

They have sent the following information to include in the minutes:

• As EIOPA started to use a commercial tool for taxonomy production and it affected the output files, EIOPA organised first an information session for NCA experts after the publication of the Internal Working Draft of 2.8.0 on 26 January 2023 and held a Taxonomy-meets-the-market public event on 8 February 2023 where the differences in the output files were presented (over 600 registered participants including NCA experts). We received very useful feedback that we are now incorporating in the final release of the 2.8.0 taxonomy.
• EIOPA published a communication file about the upcoming technical and business changes up until 2026 on its dedicated webpage for Supervisory reporting – DPM and XBRL to allow the market to anticipate and to adapt to these changes. We are explaining in the document what business and technical changes we are introducing, what consequences this will have and when they will be introduced. The foreseen changes in a nutshell are:
  • The use of a commercial tool for taxonomy production
  • the DPM Refit and DPM Studio initiatives that we are working on together with EBA. The latter will replace the commercial tool in due course.

• Currently we work on the following releases:
  • Publication of 7.1 release is necessary to include the reflection of Croatia entering the Eurozone and should be used as of reference date 01/06/2023.
  • 8.0 release only for Insurance: it includes the ITS amendment due the SII Review. Final release will be published on 17 March 2023 and the 2.8.0 Hotfix, if needed, latest in July 2023. (Application date end of 2023)
  • 8.1: FICOD shall be treated as a completely separate framework (same as S2, PF, PEPP PR, PEPP KID) and will be published as a standalone package in July 2023. (Application date: end of 2023)
  • 9.0: Revised Decision on IORPs Reporting. Final version will be published in July 2023 (Application date: January 2025)

Other topics

EFRAG is developing a taxonomy for ESG data with the help of an external party. A public consultation release is expected for April of 2023 as stated in the original tender document.

The taxonomy will be developed in a such a way that extensions are not required for reports based upon it. This means that typed dimensions will be employed.

General note: below minutes are written by Eurofiling and are not official statements by the mentioned organisations.

ECB update

ECB expects not to publish an update to the SFRDP taxonomy in 2023 because there are no changes expected for the EBA FINREP taxonomy which the basis for the SFRDP taxonomy.

SRB update

SRF: SRF 8.0.2 was published in July . Recently a hotfix was published rectifying some labels used in rendering. Data collection is ongoing.

The next SRF taxonomy will be published in July of 2023 for the cycle of 2024.

ResRep: The taxonomy was published in September, being an extension of EBA 3.2.

On collection: the portal will be opened in March.

ESMA update

Taxonomy and conformance suite was published, and the adoption of the amendment was finalized in December 2022, so the taxonomy and conformance suite for the 2022 reporting can be officially used.

For 2023, taxonomy works are ongoing. SFTR taxonomy based on EFRAG taxonomy and amendments following IFRS 2023 are in the pipeline. The first experiences with block tagging will be analysed and might lead to improvements in the taxonomy.

EIOPA update

An update of deactivations of validation rules was recently published.

EIOPA is finalizing the 2.8 release of the taxonomy. A new public working draft, in which the validation rules are added, will be published at the end of January or beginning of February.

The official release of 2.8 is expected for March of 2023 and a hotfix (if needed) in July of this year.

On pensions: changes to the reporting package are under discussion – this will be part of taxonomy 2.9.0. This taxonomy will be gradually released, the go-live dates are yet to be confirmed.

EIOPA organizes a “meet the market event” to clarify the content of the new taxonomy, the revised output files, and a view on the validations. The session will end with a presentation on future developments.

EBA update

A discussion took place on the structure used by EBA for xBRL-CSV reporting. The xBRL-CSV metadata that accompanies the taxonomy contains information. If reporting needs to be done in xBRL-CSV, then XBRL report creation software needs to be adapted.

On taxonomies: EBA release 3.3 will consist of 2 phases. Phase 1 will be published in May, a.o. containing frameworks are included: IPU, Pillar 3, MREL-TLAC. Phase 2 is expected to contain a new version of the SBP framework
