Introduction

This document is intended to provide guidelines to European regulators in the implementation and roll out of the reporting standard using XBRL across Europe.

The set of recommendations included in this document aim to facilitate the implementation of European National Supervisors to adopt XBRL in any of the reporting frameworks. The following sections will provide guidance on the use, understanding, preparation, and extension of their filings in eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL).

This guidance is in the form of notes in association with the pertaining requirements clause and uses the terms “should” (recommendation), “may” (allowance) and “can” (possibility). Organizations wishing to implement this CWA would be expected to consider all recommendations where the term "should" is used.

COREP, FINREP (and Solvency II or other future) XBRL taxonomies are offered to European regulators for national implementation. The first releases (2006) of the COREP and FINREP XBRL frameworks have proven that a standardized technical roll-out package is needed to increase the adoption rate and avoid implementation variances, which have a detrimental effect on the overall cross-border effectiveness of using one reporting standard. As well this roll-out guide tries to promote the economies of scale for a better adoption.

+===Determine the level of XBRL adoption===
-=How to start with XBRL. Supervisory Perspective=
+Widespread adoption of XBRL as a business information exchange format has revealed a number of implementation alternatives.
-This chapter describes how the XBRL standard can be implemented from the regulator's perspective.
+Selection of a specific adoption strategy by the regulator establishes the roadmap for implementation from the regulator's current reporting framework to a framework which supports the new legislation. This step is probably the most important step in XBRL adoption.
-First is presented the different levels of XBRL adoption, defining the supervisor's strategy.
+Attending to the level of penetration (or permeability) of XBRL between the Regulator and the Filing entities
+the adoption can be classified in the following:
+:* Use of XBRL solely for the electronic exchange of data between the national regulator and European Authority to comply with legislation.
+:* Adaptation of existing reporting channels to receive XBRL reports from reporting entities as well as using XBRL for the electronic exchange of data between the national regulator and the European Authority. In this scenario, regulators could make use of automated business rules to validate data received from reporting entities.
+:* Full exploitation of XBRL for internal reporting models (multidimensional data analysis) in addition to the use of XBRL for receiving data from reporting entities and electronic exchange between the national regulator and the European Authority as described above.
-This is followed by elaborating the minimum amount of steps needed to facilitate a proper introduction of the XBRL standard.
+Depending on the strategy selected, the regulator must also determine which XBRL enabled software applications should be made available to their internal departments and also to reporting entities under their jurisdiction.
-Then it is presented the adaptation and review of the reception infrastructures and the internal information systems that could be impacted by the use of XBRL in the reporting process.
+To name a few examples for consideration: XBRL validation, report visualization, conversion from existing data formats, filing forms, monitoring, security enforcement and versioning that will facilitate the analysis and supervision of reported information.
-Finally it will be described additional considerations to prepare and plan in order to establish the proper circuits and services to enable the standard with the reporting entities.
+===Plan and prepare the new reporting models===
+From the regulator's perspective there are two main key drivers in favour of XBRL adoption: compliance with new regulation directives and ensuring the accuracy of data reported by reporting entities.
-The following picture give an overview on the activities described in the chapter
+Compliance with new regulation directives implies the adequacy of the reporting business models and rules to the XBRL language and semantics to be implemented.
-<center>
+The most important requirement for financial supervision reporting is data accuracy. Reported data, for legal reasons, is expected to be:
-[[Image:BusinessOverview.jpg]]<br>'''Figure 1 —The Business Overview to Rollout XBRL reporting'''
+:* accurate for arithmetic purposes;
-</center>
+:* calculated accurately based on the required definition;
+:* preserved during the data transfer process.
-===Determine the level of XBRL adoption===
+It is also a good idea to plan and prepare the adaptation of all data requirements. For this, the regulator needs
-Since the XBRL Standard has been adopted several years ago, a different amount of alternatives on the exchange of XBRL between regulators and reporting entities have emerged.
+to learn and understand the following topics:
+:* XBRL basics – terminology, syntax and structure;
+:* how the data models correspond to the business model and semantic rules into XBRL syntactic schemas and filers forms that define reporting data. Consider information requirements which could have causes additional issues to be solved in the modelling architecture.
-The choice of a specific adoption strategy by the regulator is probably the first important step. The adoption strategy establishes the roadmap from the regulator's current reporting requirements towards the new rules.
+Many are approaching as compliance requirements driven by a new reporting directive. An alternative approach is considering XBRL adoption as a technology evolution of current reporting systems to take advantage of this standard and reap the benefits of a standardised electronic exchange format.
-Attending to the level of penetration (or permeability) of XBRL between the Regulator and the Filing entities the adoption can be classified in the following:
+In general, successful XBRL implementations usually do not change the business models, just the report format resulting in a transparent use of XBRL to the end users.
-:* Using XBRL only as the electronic format of interchange.
-:* Adapting software applications in reception and submission to use XBRL as well as interchange format, for example relying in the business rules for formula validation.
-:* Exploit for internal reporting models (multi dimensional) as well as for external reporting the XBRL standard.
-According to the previous approach the regulator must also decide how many facilities in the form of XBRL enabled software application for their internal departments and for external entities is going to provide.
+It is specially recommended to apply a structured methodology for data modelling. On this topic the Eurofiling architecture approach is proposing a methodology on normalization called Data Point Modelling. This will be introduced later in Section 5, but mainly consists of defining a method to model dictionary data, their aspects and relationships in terms of domains and hierarchies, business validation rules and the corresponding classifications of the data in different tables and forms for filing and visualization (figure 2).
-To mention a few examples there is a range from validation, visualization, monitoring, versioning that will facilitate the analysis and supervision of reported information.
-===Plan and prepare the new reporting models===
+<center> [[Image: CEN_DPM-clarificationDiagram.jpg]]<br />
+'''Figure 2: DPM   process   and   XBRL    relationship'''
+</center>
-On the regulator's perspective there are two main key drivers in the XBRL adoption: compliance with new regulation directives and data accuracy reported by reporting entities.
+<br />
+[SOURCE: Abstract description of the model represented in taxonomies following the DPM approach] <br />
-Compliance with new regulation directives implies the adequacy of the reporting business models and rules to the XBRL language and semantics to be implemented.
-The most important requirement for financial supervision reporting is data accuracy. Reported data, for legal reasons, is expected to be:
+How this data inherited from the European frameworks fits into the national reporting model. Study if the current information models for reporting entities have more disclosures or information. In case more detailed information is required, knowledge on the extension of European taxonomies is needed. This will be detailed
-:* accurate for arithmetic purposes
+in Section 4.<br />
-:* calculated accurately based on the required definition
-:* preserved during the data transfer process
-It is also a good idea to plan and prepare the adaptation of all data requirements. For this, the regulator needs to obtain proper knowledge on the following topics:
-:* Learn the basics, how XBRL works, what is the terminology.
-:* How the data models have been driven from business model and semantic rules into XBRL syntactic schemas and fillers forms that define reporting data. Take into account the last architecture modeling issues that the required information is providing.
-We have assumed that the XBRL adoption is driven by a new reporting directive. But could be considered as an alternative that the adoption of XBRL is only a technology evolution on current reporting systems. This implies that the business models do not change and the reporting files and formats are being adapted to XBRL in a transparent way to the end users.
+In order to select the most appropriate XBRL strategy, the regulator should consider the relevant answers to the questions below that will help to address reporting decisions:
+:* How many different reporting templates do we need to receive from reporting entities?
+:* What is the frequency of this reporting information? Quarterly, semi-annually, annually?
+:* What is the minimum reporting unit of information expected to receive (one template, one module, one table, one fact, other)?
+:* What is the profile of reports (minimum and maximum size expected) to be received keeping a margin of security for processing?
+:* What response time is needed to process received reporting information?
+:* Will it be allowed partial submissions? Or will all data need to be reported in full?
+:* What is the minimum precision accepted for data?
+:* Will it be allowed for reports to be re-submitted if the reporting entity wishes to submit an amendment? Will It be placed any deadlines for receipt of any amendments?
-::It is specially recommended to apply a structured methodology for data modeling. On this topic the Eurofiling architecture approach is proposing a methodology on normalization called Data Point Modeling. This will be introduced later in chapter 6, but it mainly consists on defining a method to model dictionary data, their aspects and relationships in terms of domains and hierarchies, the business validation rules and the corresponding classifications of the data in different tables and forms for filing and visualization.
+===Review existing reception infrastructure===
-<center> [[Image: CEN_DPM-clarificationDiagram.jpg]]<br />
+From an IT perspective, regulators will have the opportunity to review their current receipt and transmission infrastructure with their reporting entities to incorporate the new reporting standard to their channels:
-'''Figure 2: Diagram describing the DPM process and its relationship with XBRL.'''
-</center>
-:* How this data inherited from the European frameworks fits into the national reporting model. Study if the current information models for reporting entities have more disclosures or information. In case more detailed information is required, knowledge on the extension of European taxonomies is needed. This will be detailed in [[European_Regulatory_Roll-out_Package_guide#How_to_implement_and_extend_XBRL_taxonomies| ''"How to implement and extend XBRL taxonomies"'']].
+If regulator has well established data collection mechanisms in place, it will be necessary to adapt these mechanisms to accept XBRL instance documents, including additional workflows (submit and feedback loops) for the validation of header information and XBRL validation (following recommendations documented in “CEN WS XBRL CWA2 as valuable initiatives to take into consideration).
-<br />
+Specific items likely to require IT review:
+:* Select a new system or adapt if necessary an existing system for receiving reports from reporting entities and sending acknowledge messages and validation report results from regulator (transmission channel):  web secure portal upload, email secure SMTP, web service secure integration submission, cloud portal, etc.,
+:* Select, reuse or adapt the security methods to maintain confidentiality, integrity, authenticity, non-repudiation (following recommendations documented in CEN WS CWA2 related to digital signature and use of certificates)
+:* Select which additional services could be provided as part of the submission protocol from reporting entities to national regulator, for example tracking or monitoring submitted reports, visualization of XBRL instances, pre-validation including formulae[4] which defining regulatory requirements, display the specific data set (templates) that each reporting entity is expected to fulfil, etc.
-:The regulator will have to answer several questions before taking decisions that will mark their path to the reporting processes. These questions can be one of the following:<br />
+===Review internal information systems===
-::* How many different reporting templates do we need to receive from reporting entities?
-::* What is the frequency of this reporting information quarterly, half-yearly, yearly?
-::* What is the smallest reporting unit of information to receive?
-::* What is the maximum recommended size for each report to receive?
-::* What is the response time of the received reporting information?
-::* Is it allowed to submit partial reporting information?
-::* Is it allowed to re send reports or partial reports for amendments after submission?
-<br />
-===Adapt and Review reception infrastructures===
+Regulators who elect to adopt XBRL for internal information systems will need to consider how to adapt
-From the IT's perspective the regulators will have the opportunity to review their current transmission infrastructures with the reporting entities to incorporate the new reporting standard to their channels:<br />
+existing systems for XBRL integration and data analysis.
-In case the regulator has well established mechanisms in place, the required activity is to adapt these circuits to interchange XBRL instance documents, including additional circuits of submission for header information and validation reports following recommendations given in document (CWA2) and they will be introduced later in chapter 8.<br />
+All national regulators across Europe are responsible for defining their local regulation and communicating
+with their reporting entities. Existing, internal systems vary significantly between national regulators and some
+will need to adapt more than others to meet the new European directives. The purpose of this section is to
+establish a common set of high level guidelines based on current best practices that could apply for the
+internal use of XBRL in regulatory reporting to help realise the benefits of using a standard method of data
+exchange across Europe.
-<br />
+The European framework and the XBRL International abstract model version 2.0 provide a clear method to
-A set of items to review are:
+enable consistent definition of business information. Aligning the adaptation of internal systems with align
-:* Select, reuse or adapt the transmission channel (web secure portal upload, email secure smtp, web service secure integration submission, other). This item will be further elaborated during the workshop to refer to final recommendations to be given from CWA2.
+those methodologies is foreseen as the key to driving better regulatory practice across Europe.
-:* Select, reuse or adapt the security signature and certificates to be used for reporting entities.
-:* Select the additional services on the submission protocol to implement (tracking or monitoring information submitted, visualization on reported instances, pre validation on regulatory requirement information, etc.)
-<br />
-===Adapt and Review internal Information systems===
+Making use of automated business-rule validation on reported data will help to assure high quality data and
-For those regulators that are adopting XBRL into their internal information systems, it is required to adapt and review how to integrate the received information according to XBRL semantics into their information systems.
+reduces the processing time associated with manual checks allowing more time to analyse and dedicate to
+analysis real supervisory activity. The creation of data-warehouses based on XBRL taxonomy frameworks and
-Due to the fact that inside Europe each National Supervisor is responsible to define their local adaptation to their reporting entities, the internal systems are ranged from a very different landscape. The purpose of this section is to establish a common set of high level guidelines based on current best practices that could apply for the internal use of XBRL in regulatory reporting helping to enable the cross Europe practice.
+models will facilitate access to reporting information through the different perspectives of regulatory reporting
+(compliance, risk, prudency, transparency).
-A clear assessment regarding internal adoption is that the European framework and the XBRL International abstract model version 2.0 provide a clear method to enable consistent definition of business information. To align those methodologies in current adaptation on internal systems is foresee as the key option to drive a better regulatory practice evolution across Europe.
+In conclusion, adapting internal systems to work with XBRL reporting carries several advantages:
-Including rules and validations on reported data facilitate the data quality automation reducing time in the process to check the data and allowing more time to analyse and dedicate to the real supervisory activity. The creation of data-warehouses based on XBRL taxonomy frameworks and models will facilitate access to reporting information through the different perspectives of regulatory reporting (compliance, risk, prudency, transparency).
+:* full utilisation of the multi-dimensional data models and XBRL frameworks provided by European authorities, allowing use of OLAP-enabled databases and exploit this information for integration and analysis and regulatory activity using business intelligence tools;
+:* reuse and take advantage of native XBRL formula validation across multiple reporting documents to ensure the quality and consistency of the data submitted by the reporting entities saving time and effort in the process using multi-instance sub-module of the specification.
-As a conclusion, adapting the internal systems to XBRL reporting enable several advantages:
-:*Reuse the new multi-dimensional data models that conforms the XBRL standard for European supervisors using for example OLAP models to collect, integrate and exploit this information for analysis and regulatory activities using business intelligence tools.
-:*Reuse and take advantage of native XBRL formula validation across multiple reporting documents to ensure the quality and consistency of the data submitted by the reporting entities saving time and effort in the process.
 ===Prepare the communication plan for Reporting Entities===
-Once the regulator has taken all required actions to adapt the information systems to support the interchange of reporting information using XBRL, it is required to establish a clear communication plan for reporting Entities.
-This consists on several actions taken by the National Supervisor Authority to involve since the beginning their main reporting entities in the process to adapt the new normative fully aligned with the corresponding technology changes.
+Once the regulator has defined all reporting requirements and project plan to adapt information systems to
+support the exchange of reporting information using XBRL, it will be required to establish a clear plan for
+communicating the new regulatory process to reporting Entities.
-During the roadmap of this communication plan it is recommended to establish periodic plenary sessions with reporting entities. An example on the content could be:
+This communication need to cover several steps to be actions taken by the national regulator to involve their
-:*to communicate the perimeter of the new recommendations
+main reporting entities as early as possible to ensure a smooth transition to new processes and new
-:*to share the technical overview on XBRL taxonomy frameworks and DPM modelling methodology used
+technology in the process normative.
-:*to reduce the impacts on current interchange processes that the reporting entities would have to adapt.
-As a recommendation it is proven to facilitate the adoption to create an "Early Adopters" program between the National Supervisor Authority and a reduced numbers on the major reporting entities to set up an initial proof of concept for XBRL reporting exchange.
+We recommend that national regulators hold periodic plenary sessions with the reporting entities under their
+jurisdiction to facilitate successful communication about XBRL adoption and implementation roadmap.
+Example content could include:
+:* communicating the perimeter of the new recommendations;
+:* presenting a technical overview of XBRL taxonomy frameworks and the DPM methodology used;
+:* presenting how to reduce the impact on current data exchange processes with reporting entities;
+:* communication of expected timelines for compliance.
-The main benefits of this practice are:
+Other successful XBRL programs around the globe have found it beneficial to create an "''Early Adopters''"
-:*to refine the process in the reception and acknowledgement of XBRL reports
+program between the national regulatory Authority and a reduced number of major reporting entities. The

-:*to improve the performance of services deployed in the National Supervisor in terms of processing, integrating and validating XBRL reports.
+facilitate the success of a full rollout.
+The main benefits of an “''Early Adopters''” program are:
+:* to refine the process in the receipt and acknowledgement of XBRL reports;
+:* to enable the reporting entities to study the new requirements, to analyse any potential impact in their business models, to realise the estimation effort required and develop or adapt their IT systems to support XBRL;
+:* to test the performance of services deployed by the national regulator in terms of processing, security enforcement, integrating, analysing and validating XBRL reports.

-One of the key challenges that regulators is facing when adopting XBRL standard is to fit the reporting requirements given by European frameworks and directives into the existing national supervisory and compliance processes. <br />
-In most of the cases the flexibility of the XBRL standard allows the national supervisor to fulfil both requirements, while the mechanisms to implement and extend taxonomies vary from one to another.<br />
+One of the key challenges faced by regulators when adopting the XBRL standard is to fit the reporting
+requirements set by European frameworks and directives into existing national supervisory and compliance

-The objective of the present chapter is to provide a set of guidelines collected from previous national XBRL adoptions across Europe that have been harmonized in several ways.<br />
+In most of the cases, the flexibility of the XBRL standard will allow the national supervisor to fulfil both
+requirements. Mechanisms to implement and extend taxonomies are likely to vary from one to another.

 ===European Framework background information===
-The scope of this chapter will focus on European framework for regulatory reporting. Under this context, there are currently two major European Authorities that will drive the application of a harmonized reporting using XBRL. And therefore will address the corresponding recommendations in terms of implementation and extension of taxonomies for regulatory supervisors:<br />
-:* EBA Taxonomy frameworks:  COREP and FINREP

-XBRL is extensible. This means that the set of concepts defined in a taxonomy framework can be reused in local taxonomies using the import tag mechanism inherited from XML Schema definition of taxonomies:
+The use of different levels of reporting definitions identified by the use of owner, namespace, prefix and
+location, provides a proper method to harmonize the use of definitions and concept frameworks across
+Europe. For technical details on taxonomy architecture nomenclature refer to CEN Agreement document
+CWA1.

+reduction of redundant data collection:<br />
 # '''''Simplicity of the reporting process''''': the resulting regulatory taxonomy architecture must focus on simplification of instance document creation.
-# '''''Stability''''': the application of the regulatory taxonomy architecture must minimize the impact of changes resulting from amendments of information requirements on consuming systems.
+# '''''Stability''''': the application of the regulatory taxonomy architecture must minimize the impact of changes resulting from amendments to consuming systems.
 # '''''Consistency''''': the framework under the regulatory taxonomy architecture must be consistent in design and the taxonomies must be coherent and explicit.
-# '''''Compliance with specifications, best practices and related taxonomies''''': the regulatory taxonomy architecture must conform as much as possible to approaches inherited from related projects (Level 1 and Level 2).
+# '''''Compliance with specifications, best practices and related taxonomies''''': the regulatory taxonomy architecture must conform as much as possible to the approaches inherited from related projects (Level 1 and Level 2).

The current modularization of taxonomy frameworks and well documented metrics and aspects of the model allows a better adaptation to local redefinitions instead of building a new set of duplicated concepts for local purposes.
-# '''''Avoid redefinition of extended templates''''': One of the lessons learned from early versions of European frameworks is that the extension mechanism to prohibit relationships or dimension definitions (grey cells not allowed for extended reporting templates) at the end is not a good practice in terms of taxonomy complexity and maintainability. In those cases where the reporting template in local extensions is different the recommended approach is to define a new reporting template reusing as much as possible the already defined concepts, metrics, relationships and aspects of the extended taxonomy framework and then compound the concrete local aggregations, table, rendering and views.

-The specific implementation technology selected for these services is fully dependent on each National Supervisor Authority, and out of the scope of these guidelines.

-The recommendation is to invest during the preparation enough time to select for each specific service the optimal solution in terms of products, tools or custom development frameworks to cover them. A Proof of Concept is envisaged during this preparation phases to ensure the proper technology integration, performance and service quality required for the operational system to be integrated.
-The future guidelines on this reference architecture today indicate that the evolution on the delocalization of resources will provide an optimization on scaling the computing capacities and storage facilities using technologies that are starting to be mature in several environments (Cloud computing and Big Data analytics). As much the separation of services implementation with the concrete middleware and hardware infrastructure the better scale up and future evolution of the architecture for the national supervisor.

+The specific implementation technology selected for these services is fully dependent on each National
+Supervisor Authority (NSA), and out of the scope of these guidelines.<br />
+<br />
+Our recommendation is to invest enough time during the preparation phase to select specific technologies for
+each service, to determine the optimal solution in terms of products, tools or custom development frameworks
+and their functional coverage. As a good practice to ensure the success of the solution, we recommend
+creating a Proof of Concept (PoC) during the preparation phase to verify appropriate technology integration,
+performance and service quality that is required for the operational system, and allow time for refinement of
+the initial design.<br />
+<br />
+The evolution of this reference architecture is foreseen as distribute computing resources to process data
+using better computing capacities and storage facilities to optimize by scaling these resources. Several rising
+technologies like cloud computing and big data analytics are establishing new environments to process and
+find new correlation on collected information. Those technical architectures oriented towards separation of
+services implementation are better prepared to be evolved to these new technologies with less effort and
+investment. According to the TOGAF lifecycle we have introduced the initial steps for XBRL Architecture
+definition in National Supervisors.<br />
+<br />
+The next steps for the regulator will be to identify the concrete service implementation according to their
+needs.<br />

 =Management and maintainability=
-This chapter should include all topics related to how the supervisor is facing the taxonomy frameworks usage, repository location and management, mirror and caching procedures to check different and current version and also extension visibility to make the harmonization of taxonomies transparent to other countries (if possible, at least as a recommendation on best practices).  It will be further elaborated during workshop based on the input of the teams.<br />
-This would cover localization (in terms of how to physically locate), availability and download. <br />
+==Introduction==
-It should be worth noting the necessity to add a link or task to CWA2 in order to see the possibility to study the use of taxonomy package descriptor (from corefiling) as suggested by coordinator group management.<br />
+This section describes how regulators should approach maintenance and management of taxonomy
+frameworks supporting regulatory reporting in XBRL. It explains taxonomy lifecycle and other relevant
+concepts.<br />
+<br />
+XBRL taxonomies3 define and represent the final format for the exchange of financial information between
+reporting entities and regulators. The taxonomies implements the model defined at a business level.
+Therefore, any change to normative regulation is likely to require an update to the definitions in the taxonomy.<br />
+<br />
+The nature of these changes could be caused mainly by adding new reporting templates or requirements, or
+by making adjustments or corrections to the existing model, or other causes related to re-implement with a
+better adequacy to XBRL standard recommendation updates (generic linkbase, formula recommendation,
+table linkbase), etc.,<br />
+<br />
+All these changes will need to be reflected in an updated version of the taxonomy framework, i.e. the set of
+files and resources (called Discoverable Taxonomy Set or DTS) that defines the XBRL reporting systems.<br />
+<br />
+All regulators using XBRL should follow a set of best practices to successfully handle taxonomy updates and
+should also take into consideration the correct synchronization and communication of these versions and
+changes to their reporting entities.<br />
+<br />
-:* transparency
+==Publish the normative taxonomy framework==
-:** Comparability of data across Europe
-:** Possibility of a faster exchange of information with regard to the financial crisis
-:** Versioning will be supported
-:** Open source
-:* validation
+Firstly, the normative taxonomies must be published.<br />
-:** Validation via standardised approaches
+<br />
-:** Extensive possibilities for formula definitions
+The European National Supervisor should provide a public repository (website accessible by default) which
-:** Summarisation of formulas --> reduction of the amount of formulas
+provides access to the latest taxonomy framework version. This would facilitate to their reporting entities to
-:** No need for specific in-house solutions for the reporting entities
+access all files required to prepare the XBRL reports (enable the software applications to check, validate and
+process the XBRL taxonomy frameworks)<br />
+<br />
+One topic that needs harmonization across Europe is to coordinate the different XBRL European reporting
+taxonomy frameworks and their public repositories and location.<br />
+<br />
+Currently there are national supervisor is providing a local copy of the European taxonomy for their national
+extensions.<br />
+<br />
+Our recommendation is to refer to each authority’s repository (website by default) to find the normative
+taxonomy framework documents (for example Eurofiling for common schemas, EBA for COREP and FINREP,
+EIOPA for Solvency II. National regulators should host local taxonomy extensions on their own national
+repository (website)...<br />
+<br />
+Using this approach will facilitate the reporting entities to collect and use all corresponding resources for a
+given taxonomy framework. So the XBRL processing components can retrieve the set of Uniform Resource
+Locators (URLs) that build up the Discoverable Taxonomy Set (DTS) to be reported.<br />
+<br />
+Figure 8 illustrates an example of the banking area of domain localization for European taxonomy frameworks:<br />
+<br />
-:* harmonisation
+<center>
-:** Approach is in line with the reconciliation for an harmonised reporting in the EU
+[[Image:LocalizationEuropeanTaxonomyFrameworks2.jpg]]<br>
-:** Uniform validation rules can be used
+'''Figure 8: Repository taxonomy example Diagram'''
-:** Allows cooperation on a unified data basis (i.e. Colleagues of Supervisors)
+</center>
-:** Enables an effective analysis of cross-border financial institutions
+<br />
-:* standardisation
+==Taxonomy Cache Mechanism==
-:** Assures competitive capacity
-:** Eases the exchange with other European countries
-:** Enables the use of standardised technology
-:** Eases interoperability
-:** Minimises risks
-:** No other standardised business reporting standard exists
-=How to transmit, process, and validate instances=
+Most reporting systems based on XBRL rely on obtaining a local copy of all distributed resources that conform
-This chapter will be further elaborated during workshop including the reference of conclusions from CWA2, and all topics related to how the supervisor is facing the taxonomy frameworks usage.<br />
+to the taxonomy framework in their repositories on the Internet, in order to process the information models and
+to validate the data created in their reporting systems offline.<br />
+<br />
+It is good practice to use this cache mechanism from several European taxonomy frameworks in the
+processing software to gain in efficiency and performance for the reporting applications and systems.<br />
+<br />
+The following recommendations for taxonomy caching should be considered:
+:* National regulators should publish in their website detailed information for the latest version of their extension taxonomy created. This information should include: Links to previous versions and the dates for which they were in use, schema file names and namespaces, URLs of published documents, date and versions of taxonomy resources for the local national extension and references to the external European authority resources and common definitions.
+:* The reporting entity should use software capable of to retrieve all files in the corresponding Discoverable Taxonomy Sets (DTSs) to check if the cached version stored in the local copy corresponds to the last one published by the national supervisor in order to process XBRL reports.<br />

+'''Eurofiling'''<br />
+The Eurofiling project is an open joint initiative of the European Banking Authority (EBA) and the European
+Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) in collaboration with XBRL Europe, as well as
+stakeholders as banks, solutions providers, academics and individuals. Eurofiling's main contributions are
+Data Models, XBRL taxonomies, know-how and documentation for Supervisory Frameworks: COREP,
+FINREP and Solvency II.<br />
+<br />
+'''European System of Financial Supervisors (ESFS)'''<br />
+Before and during the financial crisis in 2007 and 2008, the European Parliament has called for a move
+towards more integrated European supervision in order to ensure a true level playing field for all actors at the
+level of the European Union and to reflect the increasing integration of financial markets in the Union. As a
+result, the supervisory framework was strengthened to reduce risk and severity of future financial crises. The
+European System of Financial Supervisors comprises three European Supervisory Authorities, one for the
+banking sector (EBA), one for the securities sector (European Securities and Markets Authority, ESMA) and
+one for the insurance and occupational pensions sector (EIOPA), as well as the European Systemic Risk
+Board4 .<br />
+<br />
+'''European Banking Authority (EBA)'''5)<br />
+The European Banking Authority (EBA) is an independent EU Authority which works to ensure effective and
+consistent prudential regulation and supervision across the European banking sector. Its overall objectives are
+to maintain financial stability in the EU and to safeguard the integrity, efficiency and orderly functioning of the
+banking sector.<br />
+<br />
+The main task of the EBA is to contribute to the creation of the European Single Rulebook in banking whose
+objective is to provide a single set of harmonised prudential rules for financial institutions throughout the EU.
+The Authority also plays an important role in promoting convergence of supervisory practices and is mandated
+to assess risks and vulnerabilities in the EU banking sector.<br />
+<br />
+The EBA was established on 1 January 2011 as part of the European System of Financial Supervision (ESFS)
+and took over all existing responsibilities and tasks of the Committee of European Banking Supervisors.<br />
 <br />

+'''COREP and FINREP'''<br />
+To achieve a high level of harmonization and strong convergence in regular supervisory reporting
+requirements, the EBA has been developing guidelines on supervisory reporting with the aim of setting up a
+supervisory reporting model with common data definitions. The Guidelines on Financial Reporting cover
+consolidated and sub-consolidated financial reporting for supervisory purposes based on IAS/IFRS
+(International Accounting Standards/International Financial Reporting Standard) as endorsed by the European
+Union. The original Guidelines on FINREP were issued by the Committee of European Banking Supervisors
+(CEBS) in December 2005. Agreed changes in IFRS were incorporated into the latest FINREP V1 published
+in December 2009.<br />
+<br />
+Due to Capital Requirements Regulation under CRD IV, further major changes to the accounting standards
+which will impact COREP and FINREP during 2013. The revised COREP and FINREP Taxonomy is expected
+to be published by the end of 2013 to take into account the new Implementation Technical Standard of these
+requirements.<br />
+<br />
+'''European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA)'''6)<br />
+The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) was established in consequence of
+the reforms to the structure of supervision of the financial sector in the European Union. The reform was
+initiated by the European Commission, following the recommendations of a Committee of Wise Men, chaired
+[5]
+by Mr. de Larosière, and supported by the European Council and Parliament.<br />
+<br />
+EIOPA’s main goals are:
+:* better protecting consumers, rebuilding trust in the financial system;
+:* ensuring a high, effective and consistent level of regulation and supervision taking account of the varying interests of all Member States and the different nature of financial institutions;
+:* greater harmonisation and coherent application of rules for financial institutions & markets across the European Union;
+:* strengthening oversight of cross-border groups;
+:* promote coordinated European Union supervisory response.
+<br />
+EIOPA’s core responsibilities are to support the stability of the financial system, transparency of markets and
+financial products as well as the protection of policyholders, pension scheme members and beneficiaries.
+EIOPA is commissioned to monitor and identify trends, potential risks and vulnerabilities stemming from the
+micro-prudential level, across borders and across sectors.<br />
+<br />
+EIOPA is an independent advisory body to the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union and
+the European Commission.<br />
+<br />
+'''SOLVENCY II'''7)<br />
+The Solvency II Directive 2009/138/EC is an EU Directive that codifies and harmonises the EU insurance
+regulation. Primarily this concerns the amount of capital that EU insurance companies must hold to reduce the
+risk of insolvency.<br />
+<br />
+Once the Omnibus II directive is approved by the European Parliament, Solvency II will be scheduled to come
+)9)
+into effect.<br />
