Dear Mr Kumaran,

We would like to acknowledge receipt of your requests of 4 November 2015 to receive information on “what percentage of the covered bonds bought by ECB in 2014 and 2015 have been issued by banks (i) whose headquarters are in Germany and (ii) that are based in Ireland”.

For the reasons explained in the ECB’s response of 30 January 2015 to your public access request, detailed and disaggregated information on the above-mentioned purchases cannot be provided. As you may recall from earlier correspondence, aggregated quantitative information on the ECB’s active programmes can be found on the ECB’s website (see www.ecb.europa.eu/mopo/implement/omt/html/index.en.html) and in the ECB’s weekly financial statement (see www.ecb.europa.eu/press/pr/wfs/2015/html/index.en.html)

Yours sincerely,

Valérie Saintot
