The Securitisation Regulations 2018

These Regulations are made in relation to Regulation (EU) No 2017/2402 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2017 laying down a general framework for securitisation and creating a specific framework for simple, transparent and standardised securitisation, and amending Directives 2009/65/EC, 2009/138/EC and 2011/61/EU and Regulations (EC) No 1060/2009 and (EU) No 648/2012 (OJ No L 347, 28.12.2017, p.1.) (the “EU Securitisation Regulation 2017”). The EU Securitisation Regulation 2017 harmonises and reforms existing rules on due diligence, risk retention, disclosure and credit-granting which will apply in a uniform way to all securitisations, securitising entities and all types of EU regulated institutional investors and creates a new framework for simple, transparent and standardised (“STS”) long-term securitisations and asset-backed commercial paper programmes.
