(26) A harmonised electronic format for reporting would be very beneficial for issuers, investors and competent authorities, since it would make reporting easier and facilitate accessibility, analysis and comparability of annual financial reports. Therefore, the preparation of annual financial reports in a single electronic reporting format should be mandatory with effect from 1 January 2020, provided that a cost-benefit analysis has been undertaken by ESMA. ESMA should develop draft technical regulatory standards, for adoption by the Commission, to specify the electronic reporting format, with due reference to current and future technological options, such as eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL).

 (26) (...) ESMA, when preparing the draft regulatory technical standards, should conduct open public consultations for all stakeholders concerned, make a thorough assessment of the potential impacts of the adoption of the different technological options, and conduct appropriate tests in Member States on which it should report to the Commission when it submits the draft regulatory technical standards. In developing the draft regulatory technical standards on the formats to be applied to banks and financial intermediaries and to insurance companies, ESMA should cooperate regularly and closely with the (...) (European Banking Authority) (...) and the (...) (European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority) (...), in order to take into account the specific characteristics of those sectors, ensuring cross-sectoral consistency of work and reaching joint positions. The European Parliament and the Council should be able to object to the regulatory technical standards pursuant to Article 13(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010, in which case those standards should not enter into force.

 Article 4 § 7. With effect from 1 January 2020 all annual financial reports shall be prepared in a single electronic reporting format provided that a cost-benefit analysis has been undertaken by the European Supervisory Authority (European Securities and Markets Authority) (ESMA) established by Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (*).  ESMA shall develop draft regulatory technical standards to specify the electronic reporting format, with due reference to current and future technological options.  Before the adoption of the draft regulatory technical standards, ESMA shall carry out an adequate assessment of possible electronic reporting formats and conduct appropriate field tests. ESMA shall submit those draft regulatory technical standards to the Commission at the latest by 31 December Power is delegated to the Commission to adopt the regulatory technical standards referred to in the second subparagraph in accordance with Articles 10 to 14 of Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010.

The system of interconnection of officially appointed mechanisms shall be composed of : ◦ — the mechanisms referred to in Article 21(2), ◦ — the portal serving as the European electronic access point.  3. Member States shall ensure access to their central storage mechanisms via the access point.’;

 ‘Article 22 Access to regulated information at Union level  1. ESMA shall develop draft regulatory technical standards setting technical requirements regarding access to regulated information at Union level in order to specify the following:  (a) the technical requirements regarding communication technologies used by the mechanisms referred to in Article 21(2);  (b) the technical requirements for the operation of the central access point for the search for regulated information at Union level  (c) the technical requirements regarding the use of a unique identifier for each issuer by the mechanisms referred to in Article 21(2);  (d) the common format for the delivery of regulated information by the mechanisms referred to in Article 21(2);  (e) the common classification of regulated information by the mechanisms referred to in Article 21(2) and the common list of types of regulated information.

 ‘Article 22 Access to regulated information at Union level (...)  2. In developing the draft regulatory technical standards, ESMA shall take into account the technical requirements for the system of interconnection of business registers established by Directive 2012/17/EU (...)  ESMA shall submit those draft regulatory technical standards to the Commission by 27 November  Power is delegated to the Commission to adopt the regulatory technical standards referred to in the first subparagraph of this paragraph in accordance with Articles 10 to 14 of Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010.

Development and operation by ESMA of the access point ◦ 31 December 2016 – ESMA has transmitted to the Commission for adoption by MS the draft regulatory technical standards ◦ December 2015 – ESMA has started the tests of the draft regulatory technical standards ◦ 27 November draft regulatory technical standards to the Commission – Report from the Commission to EP & Council ◦ – ESMA develop the draft regulatory technical standards ◦ XBRL Europe develops a White Paper for the implementation the transparency directive with the draft regulatory technical standards the electronic reporting format and XBRL  Let’s start the work !!

 For the Accounting Directive (non listed companies) the text has been reduced to an encouragement to the Member States“to develop electronic publication systems that allow undertakings to file accounting data, including statutory financial statements, only once and in a form that allows multiple users to access and use the data easily. With regard to reporting financial statements the Commission is encouraged to explore means for a harmonised electronic format. Such systems should, however, not be burdensome to small and medium-sized undertakings.”  That directive (with maybe the directive of interconnection of the business register) is opening the way to an harmonised way of using XBRL in this sector of the non listed companies.  This directive must be transposed and the implementation discussed between the EC the MS, the ARC (Accounting Regulatory Committee ) and other stakeholders like EFRAG

 Directive which focuses on some elements to be exchanged like name, identification number but without any reference to Financial statements  Its implementation is made through delagated acts negotiated between the European Commission and the Members States. Discussions to set up the BRIS (Business Register Interoperability System) for 2017/2018  In XBRL Europe EU Business Register Working Group we advocate towards BRIS to include the xEBR taxonomy and solutions in their works.
