3. COREP - FINREP - XBRL SGCB 3 XBRL taxonomies built by the CEBS for COREP and FINREP will be essential in order to create a common framework, because they include : –A vocabulary common to european supervisors elaborated on the basis of official european regulations and –A common « grammar » through its « Linkbases ». XBRL allows for a european flexible approach, including national specific elements European taxonomies will constitute a common framework, to which elements : can be added  extension or from which elements can be inhibeted  restriction 1. A French European based project

4. COREP - FINREP - XBRL SGCB 4 Two european initiatives were taken to this endeavour : –A common reporting for a common solvency ratio (COREP – COmmon REPorting) CRD Directives  14 June 2006: final adoption of Directives 2006/48/CE et 2006/49/CE  June 2006: French text transmitted for approval after a common work with the banking industry COREP  13 January 2006: CEBS publishes COREP templates => http://www.c- ebs.org/standards.htmhttp://www.c- ebs.org/standards.htm  28 June 2006 : Banking Commission examines the project of COREP « rules » to be adopted once the final text introducing CRD in the French legal framework will be adopted. 1. A French European based project

5. COREP - FINREP - XBRL SGCB 5 1. Un projet européen décliné au niveau français –A common « prudential » reporting for banks consolidated accounts in IFRS (FINREP, FINancial REPorting)  European regulation of direct application in France  European reporting published by the CEBS on 16 December 2005 => http://www.c-ebs.org/standards.htmhttp://www.c-ebs.org/standards.htm  Discussion with the banking industry on the French reporting during the first half of the year  Adoption of the French rules by the Banking Commission on 28 June

6. COREP - FINREP - XBRL SGCB 6 2 Large and open consequences on IT systems The French Banking Commission decided to make it mandatory for the banks to transmit their COREP and FINREP reports, using the XBRL standard for reasons of efficiency and cost. Therefore we intend to run, in a first stage, two parallel information systems : COFINREP and BAFI Possible since :  Relatively few common data between the new reportings and the present data base  COREP and FINREP are new and would have, in any case, needed important and complex developments in the old system  This situation will not hinder the supervisors’ work However, we will need to run data exchanges between both systems

8. COREP - FINREP - XBRL SGCB 8 2 Large and open consequences on IT systems The working relation between banks and the BC will change only marginally :  The General Secretary of the Banking Commission will provide the banks with the adapted French version of the european taxonomies  The financial agent will be able to fully use them with them help of « technical guides »  The financial institutions concerned will transmit their reports (instance documents according to XBRL vocabulary) XML/XBRL, via the usual data transmission means  After verification of data quality, anomalies will be restituted to each institution

9. COREP - FINREP - XBRL SGCB 9 3. Création des taxonomies françaises Study of the European taxonomies validated by the CEBS Study of the CB regulations document Comparison of the sets of information: between the templates of the European taxonomy and the CB templates (adopted or presented) in order to gather all the differences. Some templates and information will be added Others will be prohibited

10. COREP - FINREP - XBRL SGCB 10 3. Création des taxonomies françaises Creation of the French extension on the base of the European taxonomies (for FINREP as well as COREP) that will act like a filter in order to create the French taxonomies All the labels of concepts coming from the European taxonomies will be translated into French Creation of the French specific concepts (with an English and French label) Internal validation of the taxonomies with the help of our tools. (formalism and standards)

11. COREP - FINREP - XBRL SGCB 11 3.Création des taxonomies françaises The taxonomy, with the « approved » status, will be accessible on the BANQUE DE France website (under the supervision part: « Reporting XBRL ») for the profession to make a feed back. At the same time a information « push » will be sent to the financial agents’ correspondents Gather of the feedbacks (or remarks) –Via mail on our common mail box –Via our web site Depending on these responses, we will eventually modify the taxonomy to the point it may need a new full cycle of validation The final taxonomy will be on the BDF website with the « Published » status

12. COREP - FINREP - XBRL SGCB 12 3.Création des taxonomies françaises

13. COREP - FINREP - XBRL SGCB 13 3.Création des taxonomies françaises The following documentation will be available as well as the taxonomy: –Printout of all the concepts used in the French taxonomy. –Reference note: For all the European elements (link to the CEBS website) Links to the French regulations (link to the Banque de France website)

14. COREP - FINREP - XBRL SGCB 14 3.Création des taxonomies françaises First XBRL reporting : –COREP and FINREP are to be sent for the 30/06/2007 –A four month delay will be accepted as it is the first emission (see: the annex on delivery dates). A test platform will be available to the financial agents on January 2007. They will be able to verify their instances and get a complete report containing any anomalies encountered.

20. COREP - FINREP - XBRL SGCB 20 4 The Banking Commission project : « COFINREP » –The solution integrates the XBRL format into the total production line : –The XBRL instance documents (sent by the financial institutions) are receipted and then controlled and stored in xbrl format –The synthesis and calulated reportings are directly built from the xbrl instance documents (via XSLT) –The outputs (extraction for sending data to IEDOM for example) are possible in XBRL –This approach allows the IT information system COFINREP to fully use this format benefits ; which are the interoperability and extensibility.

21. COREP - FINREP - XBRL SGCB 21 4 The Banking Commission project : « COFINREP » Delivery modularization : -Unique signature per emitted file -A file may contain, if needed, any amount of XBRL instances (COREP and/or FINREP) A simplified instance format; -The instances contain a single CIB (Banque identifier), a single taxonomy, a single date and a single monetary value. -The different dimension necessary for a template are to be delivered in a single instance. (For example; COREP’s Template CR and it’s exposure classes) -For FINREP, in regards of it’s current structure, all data describing a certain date will have to sent in the same instance

22. COREP - FINREP - XBRL SGCB 22 4 The Banking Commission project : « COFINREP » A COFINREP delivery is structured around: -A single XML file -A electronic signature envelop -A element regrouping all the different header element -Header elements containing information necessary for the identification of the instance, and a single XBRL instance -XBRL instances The XBRL instances will have to be compliant; -XBRL 2.1 -Aggregation 1.0 -Dimension 1.0 -French taxonomy
