Why a XBRL Europe Organisation?Why a XBRL Europe Organisation? Without being aware, Europe is a XBRL continent and huge amount of XBRL
information is or will be circulating in Europe. But NO particular project exists for trans-national information, except for
COREP/FINREP and with the IFRS taxonomy (just for listed companies). Such Projects WILL reduce the over costs of crossing boundaries
(recalculations, translations, etc). XBRL technology allows exchanging information. Surely better with a unique
Gaap in Europe. But to start at XBRL Europe we developed pan European harmonisation initiatives and for instance in the EU Business register WG -> Development of a common taxonomy between some EU Countries in order to:
to retrieve common datas from national taxonomies present minimum common info across countries/languages
The Not for Profit Association XBRL Europe ObjectivesThe Not for Profit Association XBRL Europe Objectives
To foster the emergence of common XBRL projects between members in Europe and between European Countries to harmonize practices or to create common practices
To develop liaison and dialogue with European level organisations and European Authorities (European Commission, European Parliament, European Central Bank, etc) to increase XBRL awareness
To support the creation of new European XBRL jurisdictions within European Countries
XBRL jurisdictions in EU & XBRL Europe MembersXBRL jurisdictions in EU & XBRL Europe Members

Project (2,4 M€) selected by European Commission in which XBRL Europe is involved
Project about multilingual and ontological tools using XBRL for 3 years.
XBRL Instance documents and Taxonomies will be used to test the possibibility to translate them immediately in locating the translated contexts in some centralised databases.
XBRL Europe is part of a consortium involving research institutions like University of Galwayand companies like SAP.
3 persons of XBRL Europe are mentioned in the proposal (DoW – Description of Work) : Derek de Brandt, Thomas Verdin, Gilles Maguet)

XBRL Europe
Interoperability, European Institutions initiatives & XBRLInteroperability, European Institutions initiatives & XBRL Start: EP and Council launched Transparency directive 2004/109/EC in
2004 “Access for investors to information (…) should be more organised at a Community level” and then with Directive 2004/39/EC MiFID Directive about harmonised regulation for investment services in EU.
Since 2005 CEBS supported the XBRL format in relation to COREP and FINREP reporting & published in 2009 workplan & priority activities (including developments of COREP & FINREP taxonomies) to reach with CEIOPS harmonised supervisory reporting by 2012.
CESR has launched a “CALL for EVIDENCE” about XBRL, while the US SEC has mandated in the US use of XBRL to report listed companies financial statements.
EC launched in 2009 Consultations papers: 1) 4th and 7th directives reforms following the burden reduction programme launched by DG ENTR and related to “national financial statements” simplification &I nteroperability; 2) about the de Larosière report. XBRL was mentioned as a language to be possibly used in the 1st consultation. XBRL Europe made recommendations in both for the use of XBRL as a tool for simplification, interoperability and Burden reduction.
Interoperability, European Institutions initiatives & XBRLInteroperability, European Institutions initiatives & XBRL EC proposed in October 2009 to reorganise the Financial supervision:
European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB) as 'macro-prudential supervision', and European System of Financial Supervisors (ESFS) for the supervision of financial institutions ('micro-prudential supervision'), a network of national financial supervisors & the new European Supervisory Authorities, (transformation of CESR, CEBS & CEIOPS Committees), European Banking Authority (EBA), European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA), the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA).
“Common Technical standards” are called upon in the founding documents. XBRL has a role to play to set up these standards with EBA, ESMA and EIOPA.
EC published the results of the 1st consultation (4th&7th directives). XBRL is largely positively mentioned in the answers.
"The majority of respondents with an explicit opinion supported a common EU XBRL taxonomy. Strongest support came from preparers followed by public authorities”
