3L3 Task Force on Internal Governance
• The “3L3 Task Force on Internal Governance” (TFIG)– Created according to the 3L3 Committees “Medium Term Work
Programme” for 2008-2010• Internal governance was one of the 6 priority areas identified for joint
cross-sector work– Composed of experts from the banking, insurance and securities
markets supervisors, members of the three Level 3 committees (CEIOPS, CEBS and CESR)

CEIOPS
3L3 Task Force on Internal Governance
• Mandate– Identify consequences of differences in internal
governance requirements in sectoral legislation (both Level 1 and Level 2) which have significant practical consequences for institutions, and making recommendations for Level 3 measures to enhance convergence
– Developing cross-sector guidance for institutions and conglomerates operating in different financial sectors in the area of internal governance, within the current legal framework

Work developed between September 2008 and December 2009

• Deliverables– Preliminary report in December 2008– Final report
• “Cross-sectoral stock-take and analysis of internal governance requirements”(http://www.ceiops.eu/media/files/consultations/3L3-call-for-evidence-internal-governance/3L3-cross-sectoral-stock-take-and-analysis-internal-governance-v2.pdf)

This report will be the basis for this presentation.However, some adaptations were made to align the analyses made with
the final advice from CEIOPS to the European Commission.

areas of banking, insurance and securities• Includes binding (Level 1 and Level 2) and non-binding (Level 3)
provisions

CEIOPS
Cross-sectoral stock-take on internal governance issues
• Material considered– Assumptions
• Although the CRD and the CAD do not follow the Lamfalussy legislative architecture, they were compared to Level 1 requirements
• The annexes of the CRD were considered to be comparable to Level 2 requirements
9 April 2010 Page 9
![Page 10: Cross-Sectoral Issues on Internal Governance](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56816820550346895dddb0d6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
CEIOPS
Cross-sectoral stock-take on internal governance issues
• Material considered– Interconnections between directives
• Article 34 of the CAD applies Article 22 of the CRD and respective Level 3 measures to every investment firm that is not an exempt CAD firm
• Article 1(2) of MiFID applies the organisational requirements in its Article 13 (and in the Level 2 implementing directive) to credit institutions that carry on one or more investment services or activities
9 April 2010 Page 10
Conclusion: every investment firm that is not an exempt CAD firm is subject to both MiFID and CAD/CRD governance requirements. Consequently, many banks are subject to both MiFID and CRD organisational requirements (at least in relation to the conduct of their securities business). But the purpose of the stock-take was to compare the requirements for each activity on a
standalone basis.

CEIOPS
Cross-sectoral stock-take on internal governance issues
• Options to proceed– Challenge
• Maintain an appropriate balance between delivering harmonised standards, while maintaining justifiable sectoral differences
• Consider carefully the means of delivering effective harmonisation if that is “desirable”
– Available possibilities• Legislation – amendment of Level 1 directives and/or Level 2
directives or regulations where relevant, including the Level 2 implementing measures for Solvency II
• Guidance – production or amendment of Level 3 guidance either by individual committees (CEBS, CEIOPS and CESR) or by the 3L3 committees together

CEIOPS
Main findingsMain differences and commonalities
• Existing internal governance requirements for the activities undertaken in the banking, insurance and securities sectors are generally similar and have the same intended outcomes or comparable outcomes
• For the majority of the internal governance aspects that were analysed, many requirements are set at different levels in different sectors– It was often observed that high-level principles for internal
governance that e.g. are defined in the Level 1 directive for the insurance sector are only detailed in Level 3 for the banking sector

CEIOPS
Main findingsMain differences and commonalities
• Some differences in the terminology used – or in its interpretation – were also identified, which the TFIG considers would benefit from some further standardisation to promote further convergence between sectors– Principle of proportionality – it is applicable to most of the
requirements on internal governance entities are subject to
Proportionality applies to internal governance policies Supervisory authorities will adapt their supervisory approach to
ensure it is proportionate to the nature, scale and complexity of the activities of an entity
The principle of proportionality does not justify the non-application of any sort of requirements
The proportionality principle is dealt with slightly differently (wording is often “shall where appropriate and proportionate)

CEIOPS
Main findingsMain differences and commonalities
• Some differences in the terminology used – or in its interpretation – were also identified, which the TFIG considers would benefit from some further standardisation to promote further convergence between sectors (cont.)– Concept of “independence”
• Does it always imply an organisationally separate unit?– Concept of “function”
• E.g. In Solvency II, it is “an administrative capacity to undertake particular governance tasks”

CEIOPS
• With regard to the differences between MiFID and CRD, further harmonisation of Level 1 and 2 provisions could be considered in order to reduce the number of different requirements for banks that also undertake investment activities

CEIOPS
Next steps
• The TFIG considers that guidance would be beneficial on:– Management of conflicts of interest– Policies, processes and procedures related to the risks covered
by the risk management systems– How the risk management, compliance and internal audit
functions might be “independent” in the light of their different sectoral requirements
– The supervisory review process

CEIOPS
Next steps
• The development of guidance in these areas would:– Contribute to a more harmonised interpretation of the
requirements applicable to each type of activities– Complement the existing gaps between sectors in the cases
where no specific requirements exist
9 April 2010 Page 39
Further work to be developed will depend on the results of the “Call for Evidence” process and the conclusions to be taken thereof.
