2. Lux, EC and electronic exchange format
The Office for Official Publications started the production of SGML instances for the documents published in the different OJ series in 1985.
The specifications are known as Formex (Formalised exchange of electronic documents).
The version 3 entered into force on the 1st of April 1999.
The version 4 entered into force 2004.

3. Lux, EC and electronic exchange format
SGML and SGML based grammars have not had the success as expected.
- the development of suitable and comfortable tools is very hard.
As a result: XML was invented which is much stricter and therefore made it easier for the development of tools.
Formex 4 = XML + XML Schema + Unicode

4. Formex and COREP, FINREP
- All our publications gets published in Formex
- Similar lifecycle in our history

5. COREP and FINREP Visionary people for Europe and XBRL early 2000
First versions in 2004
First versions used by NSA in 2005/2006
02 December 2013 FINREP/COREP V2.0
V 2.0 come into force 1. Jan 2014 on 1st to 2nd level
V 2.0 come into force for 1st level for several nations (NSA)
Formex = COREP/FINREP
10 years experience with the format.

6. COREP and FINREP not a publication format

7. COREP/FINREP versus Formex
XBRL versus XML
After 10 years Formex has reduced from 1200 tags to 260 tags
After 10 years FINREP/COREP has been enhanced from 500 data points to data points
The technology has make progress in 20 years
For a secure data exchange with a usable and reusable electronic data format we need more.
And we need quality data
PRESENTATION TITLE

8. 10 years Formex and FINREP/COREP
10 last years in FORMEX where characterised by adjustments and fine tuning of the format
After 8 years you have had a stability and a finality
Adoption of minimal technical and business adjustments
FINREP/COREP
EBA expect a similar process in terms of technical adjustments
The financial market and the reporting needs are volatile
The reporting needs have to be adopted minimum on a yearly base for the next years
A stability on business needs fro CRDIV and ITS should be in 2-3 years
The creation of a flexible reporting platform from the filler is highly recommended
PRESENTATION TITLE

9. Taxonomy COREP and FINREP
Although primarily developed for use in data transmission between competent authorities and the EBA, many authorities are known to intend to use the proposed XBRL taxonomy for the collection of supervisory reporting from the credit institutions and investment firms they supervise.
PRESENTATION TITLE

10. The conception phase is over
The phase of the load will start.
We expect to receive now:
- Harmonized EEA Data
- Quality EEA Data
- Consistent EEA Data
EBA is committed to XBRL, future releases will respect the aaproach which is set in release V 2.0
PRESENTATION TITLE

11. The LOAD phase is starting

12. Some quotes from the market
Regulations cost us so much we have no budget to implement our core business functions.
Our systems are distributed over several platforms and we are not able to deliver the requested data without significant manual effort.
PRESENTATION TITLE

13. Some quotes from the market
There is no standard format available which allow the validation of data in an electronic exchange format.
Without regulations we would make never progress on the standardisation, even when everybody has the best intention.
PRESENTATION TITLE

14. To move forward and be on the save side for the load
Have a clear and accurate interpretation of European Banking Authority (EBA) data definitions in the ITS.
b) Understand technical points and complexities of Data Point Model versus individual reporting.
c) Addressing data management issues by designing business processes to handle increases in data volume and complexity.
d) Creating robust validation rules to deliver the requested data quality.
e) Enable vendor management to produce final outputs from source IT systems in XBRL.
f) Understand IT infrastructure limitations to handle future changes to EBA .
PRESENTATION TITLE

15. Summary The ITS which come into force on the 1 Jan 2014
A DPM is part of the ITS and give clear explications of the requested data
COREP and FINREP is published which describe the ITS on a level of the technical exchange format for NSA’s to EBA
The taxonomies COREP and FINREP V 2.0 are deployed with some standard of the art features
Validations
Table Linkbase
Rendering Linkbase
