Summary What does Article 6 of the RTS on assessment of inherent and residual risk of obliged entities say?
This is a brief, standard closing article covering the entry into force and application of the Regulation.
It confirms when the Regulation becomes legally effective and when its obligations must actually be complied with, noting a gap between these two dates.
It also affirms the Regulation's direct applicability across all EU Member States without requiring national implementing legislation.
Important points:
- The Regulation enters into force twenty days after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
- The Regulation applies from 31 December 2027, meaning obligations under the preceding articles (such as those in Articles 2, 3, 4, and 5) do not take effect until that date.
- The Regulation is binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States, requiring no transposition into national law.
