GOVERNANCE AND FUNCTIONING OF THE CSSF

1. PRINCIPLES

The CSSF, established by the law of 23 December 1998, with effect on 1 January 1999, is a public institution with legal personality and financial autonomy. It operates under the authority of the Minister responsible for the financial centre, i.e. the Minister of Finance Mr Pierre Gramegna.

1.1. CSSF bodies

The CSSF’s board of directors is composed of seven members appointed by the Grand Duke on the proposal of the Government in Council for a period of five years. The powers conferred upon the board of directors notably include the annual adoption of the CSSF’s budget and the approval of the financial statements and of the report of the CSSF’s executive board, which are submitted to the board of directors before their presentation to the Government for approval. It also sets the general policy as well as the annual and long-term investment programmes which are submitted to it by the executive board before being submitted for approval to the Minister of Finance. Meetings and deliberations of the board of directors take place according to its internal rules. The board of directors is not competent to intervene in the CSSF’s prudential supervisory matters.

The senior executive authority of the CSSF is the executive board, composed of a director general and between two and four directors, appointed by the Grand Duke on the proposal of the Government in Council for a period of five years. The executive board works out measures and takes the decisions it deems useful and necessary for the fulfilment of the CSSF’s mission and for its organisation. Moreover, it sets up a five-year “target contract” with the Minister of Finance. The executive board is responsible for the reports and proposals it is obliged to address to the board of directors and the Government.

1.2. Decision-making process

According to its internal rules, the executive board must meet collectively at least once a week to take the decisions required to accomplish the mission of the CSSF. The executive board is responsible collectively even if each individual member runs one or several departments.

The decisions taken in the context of the CSSF’s mission may be referred to the Tribunal administratif (Administrative Court), which decides on the merits of the case. These recourses must be instituted, under penalty of foreclosure, within a month from the notification of the decision.

1.3. Drawing-up of regulations

The CSSF has the power to make regulations within the limits of its competences and missions, in accordance with Article 9(2) of the law of 23 December 1998. Draft regulations must be submitted to the Consultative committee for prudential regulation or the Consultative committee for the audit profession. The CSSF regulations are published in the Mémorial.

The legislative framework applicable to the financial sector is complemented by circulars issued by the CSSF with a view to specifying how legal provisions should be applied and issuing recommendations on conducting business in the financial sector.

Following the example of international forums and counterpart authorities, the CSSF has established a broad consultation procedure, which involves, during the stage of drawing-up the regulations and circulars, the professionals of the financial sector, as well as any other person concerned, notably via expert committees and ad hoc working groups.

1.4. Financing of the CSSF and account auditing

The CSSF is authorised to levy taxes on supervised persons and undertakings to cover its staff, financial and operating costs. The Grand-Ducal regulation of 28 October 2013 lays down the amounts applicable and

guarantees full financing of the operating costs.

The Government appoints a réviseur d’entreprises agréé (approved statutory auditor) on the proposal of the CSSF’s board of directors for a period of three years. The mission of the réviseur d’entreprises agréé is to audit and certify the CSSF’s accounts and to submit a detailed report on the CSSF’s accounts to the board of directors and the Government at the close of the financial year. The réviseur d’entreprises agréé may be charged by the board of directors with making specific checks.

The CSSF is subject to the control of the Court of Auditors (Cour des comptes) as to the appropriate use of the public financial participation it receives.

4. HUMAN RESOURCES

4.1. CSSF staff

As far as human resources are concerned, and as in the previous years, 2013 was marked by a significant rise in the number of staff. Thus, 58 agents were recruited. Following the resignation of 13 agents over that period, total employment reached 493 units as at 31 December 2013, representing a 10.04% increase compared to 2012. This is the equivalent of 435.70 full-time jobs, i.e. a 10.22% increase compared to 2012.

It must be highlighted that in the course of the year, the CSSF received around 1,868 job applications, including 285 spontaneous applications. As in the previous years, recruitment mainly focused on University degrees and candidates’ competence.

GOVERNANCE AND FUNCTIONING OF THE CSSF

Detailed information on the CSSF’s organisation is available on the CSSF website in the section “About the CSSF”, sub-section “Structure/Organisation”.

5. CSSF LIBRARY

The CSSF library is a reference library which is part of the Luxembourg libraries’ network bibnet.lu since 2009. It is specialised in banking and financial law as well as financial economy. It contains more than 2,000 books and around 50 periodicals and update publications. The library has also a certain number of specialised electronic databases.

All the books in the library are listed in the general catalogue of the bibnet.lu network. The unified search engine of the collections of the network (www.a-z.lu) enables an easy search of the books available in the CSSF library and in all Luxembourg libraries.

The library is open to the public on prior request and by appointment, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m..

6. NEW CSSF HEADQUARTERS

With a view to streamlining and efficiency, so as to concentrate on a single site the activities which, at a given time, were spread over on three different sites, the CSSF decided in 2011 to build new headquarters to cope with the increasing number of its agents and to enhance the processes and, therefore, the efficient functioning of the CSSF when carrying out the missions assigned to it.

The new building will provide about 7,000 square meters of office space (i.e. about 620 workstations), a canteen, a fitness room, a public library and many meeting, conference and training rooms.

Strong emphasis was placed on the energy concept of the building in order to reach a high level of performance combined with a maximum comfort, by minimising energy losses and consumption.

The demolition works and earthworks were completed in 2013 as scheduled.

The structural work is currently under way and its progress corresponds to the contract execution schedule.

As all authorisations have been granted and insofar as there is currently no delay as to the initial schedule, the receipt of the new headquarters is planned for the end of June 2015, so that the CSSF will be able to move into its new offices as from this date.

7. INFORMATION SYSTEMS

The division in charge of the CSSF’s IT systems is part of the department “IT systems and supervision of support PFS”. This division is in charge of installing, maintaining and developing the CSSF’s internal IT infrastructure as well as managing the electronic reporting of supervised entities.

7.1. Project “Registry”

In the European context, the CSSF responded to the exchange requirements of ESMA which, in 2012, initiated the project “Registry” (formerly “Omnibus”) covering the needs arising from the AIFMD, UCITS Directives and MiFID, i.e. in particular the creation of a register allowing the identification of AIFMs, management companies of UCITS, investment firms under MiFID and the collection of prospectuses approved in accordance with the Prospectus Directive. ESMA set 24 February 2014 as the start-up date of the project “Registry”. The “Registry”

is now operational and the CSSF provides ESMA with the information as regards the approved prospectuses. As regards the AIFM part, developments are under way in order to meet the deadlines set by ESMA, i.e. the end of 2014.

7.2. Legal Entity Identifier

The Legal Entity Identifier (LEI), created by the Financial Stability Board (FSB), enables the identification of the persons involved in financial transactions for the purpose of identifying the systemic risk. It will be used more systematically for reportings to be sent either to ESMA or the EBA.

The assignment of a pre-LEI at Luxembourg level did not take place in 2013 but this should change in 2014 as certain foreign bodies (particularly in France and in Germany) have already positioned on the market to propose these identifiers.

In Luxembourg, the work relating thereto is carried out under the aegis of the BCL. The CSSF is willing to contribute to this project, in particular as regards the transmission to the future operator of the supervised entities’ public reference data, allowing thus a verification of the data provided by these entities when requesting a LEI assignment.

7.3. FINREP and COREP

The EBA published the XBRL taxonomies applicable to the new FINREP and COREP at the beginning of December 2013. The current version (V2.0.1)2 will be used for COREP reportings of the first quarter 2014 as well as the subsequent reports.

The CSSF will request XBRL instances that are fully compatible with these taxonomies, including concerning compliance with the additional rules set out in the document “XBRL Filing Rules. COREP and FINREP Taxonomy 2.0.0”3 of the EBA and compliance with the formulas in the various taxonomies.

Given the fairly high risk that at least a few of the many formulas may, in some cases, fail while the underlying figures are actually correct, the CSSF has put in place the necessary mechanisms to disable certain taxonomy rules. Thus, if the EBA informs that certain rules are to be considered as disabled, the CSSF’s configuration will be updated accordingly. Consequently, the CSSF recommends that reporting entities should make arrangements to send a report to the CSSF even if certain validation rules of the formula linkbase of the taxonomies fail.

In accordance with the “Recommendation On the use of the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI)” of the EBA, the CSSF requests the entities concerned by FINREP and COREP to use the LEI code to identify themselves within the XBRL instances.

The EBA plans to publish a version V2.1.0 of the set of taxonomies that should define (1) the corrections to the COREP reports and the validation rules, (2) the final version of the FINREP report and (3) the final version of the Asset Encumbrance (AE) report. This version is planned for all reports as from June 2014 (COREP and AE) and September 2014 (FINREP).

The CSSF’s production chain was adapted in order to receive the COREP reports. The adaptation to FINREP and to AE will take place as soon as the final and official version V2.1.0 of the EBA is published.
