On August 8, the European Banking Authority (EBA) published an opinion (EBA-Op-2019-10) on the eligibility of deposits, coverage level and co-operation between deposit guarantee schemes (DGS) under the Deposit Guarantee Schemes Directive (DGSD) (2014/49/EU).

The opinion outlines a number of general and specific proposals for the European Commission to consider when preparing its mandated report on the progress made towards implementing the DGSD and if the Commission prepares a proposal for a revised DGSD.

The opinion sets out the EBA’s proposals on a range of topics, including:

  • Home-host co-operation, and co-operation agreements between DGS
  • DGS’ co-operation with various stakeholders
  • Transfer of contributions
  • Coverage level
  • Current list of exclusions from eligibility and current provisions on eligibility

It includes a report that provides a detailed analysis of each topic, including the background, methodology, data sources, options to address the issues identified and conclusions.

On September 15, 2016, the European Forum of Deposit Insurers (EFDI) published its model deposit guarantee scheme co-operation agreement and supporting rulebook.

The recast Deposit Guarantee Scheme Directive (2014/49/EU) requires EU deposit guarantee schemes (DGS) to repay depositors in a cross-border branch through the DGS in the home state country.

The EFDI model co-option agreement covers the cross-border payment framework, mutual lending and the transfer of contributions between DGS. It also contains methodology implementing technical and functional co-operation for cross-border payments together with IT data requirements, funding and crisis communications.
