European Commission Consultation on Remuneration Requirements under CRD IV
10/22/2015
On October 22, 2015, the European Commission published a consultation on the possible impact of the maximum remuneration ratio rule for variable and fixed remuneration required by the Capital Requirements Directive. The consultation also addresses the overall efficiency of the remuneration rules as set out in the CRD and Capital Requirements Regulation, together known as CRD IV. The consultation aims to obtain views on the remuneration provisions of CRD IV, including on: (i) the efficiency, implementation and enforcement of the principle of proportionality, as well as the identification of any gaps arising from the application of the principle; (ii) compliance with the maximum ratio rule for variable and fixed remuneration as prescribed by the CRD; and (iii) the impact of the maximum ratio rule on competitiveness, financial stability and staff in non-EEA countries. The Commission must report back to the European Parliament and Council by June 30, 2016. Responses are due by January 14, 2016.
