Summary What does Article 8 of the RTS on group-wide minimum requirements and additional measures for third-country subsidiaries and branches say?
This is a brief but important scoping article that acts as a limiting provision on the broader information-sharing rules established in the preceding articles.
It carves out a specific situation — where information originates from partnerships — and restricts how that information can be further shared.
Rather than setting new rules itself, it defers entirely to the conditions already established in Article 75 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1624, making compliance with that external provision the sole gateway for permitting such sharing.
Important points:
- Information received from partnerships and held by obliged entities that are members of those partnerships cannot be freely shared under the general group-wide information-sharing framework.
- Obliged entities must comply with the conditions set out in Article 75 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1624 for any such sharing to be permitted.
- This article functions as a restriction, not an enabler — sharing is only allowed when those external conditions are met.
Springlex's summary of the article, a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.
The sharing of information received from partnerships under Article 75 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1624 and in possession of obliged entities that are members of those partnerships can be permitted only when complying with the conditions set out in Article 75 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1624.
