The Ministry of Finance asked Finanstilsynet by letter of 16 November 2017 to draw up a consultation document proposing regulatory changes in preparation for CRR/CRD IV to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.
Norwegian rules already largely mirror CRR/CRD IV. Hence the proposed regulatory changes are of a technical nature designed to align Norwegian provisions that do not fully mirror the rules of CRR/CRD IV, and to incorporate provisions from that framework that have not been transposed into Norwegian law. The proposal also clarifies national discretions applied in the Norwegian CRR/CRD IV Regulations.
The assessments made by Finanstilsynet in the consultation document are summarised in the accompanying letter to the Ministry of Finance.
