EBA Regular Use

Dear Mr Walden,

We hereby confirm receipt of your request for access to documents.

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, your application will be processed within 15 working days. This deadline expires on 07/02/2025.

If this deadline needs to be extended, we will inform you in due course.

You have lodged your application via a private third-party website, which has no link with any institutions or agencies of the European Union. Therefore, the EBA is not responsible for any technical issues or problems linked to the use of this system. We understand that the third party running the AsktheEU.org website usually publishes the content of applicants’ correspondence with the authority on that website including any personal data you may share.

Similarly, the third party publishes on that website any reply that the EBA will send to the email address of the applicants generated by the AsktheEU.org website.

If you do not want your correspondence with the EBA published on a private third-party website such as AsktheEU.org, you can provide us with a private e-mail address for communication. The EBA will then send all future electronic correspondence addressed to that private address and use it to reply to your request. You are responsible for informing the private third-party website about this change.

For information on how we process your personal data, please see the attached Privacy notice.

Sincerely,

EBA Legal and Compliance

EBA Regular Use

Dear Mr Tazu Walden,

We refer to your communication dated 17 January 2025, in which you requested access to documents pursuant to Regulation 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council, and Commission documents.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) strives to be as transparent and open as possible.

The list of respondents to the EBA’s consultation on the Guidelines on the management of ESG risk is available on the EBA webpage at the following link: https://www.eba.europa.eu/publications-a....

Regarding the entities listed in your request:

- AFME submitted a non-confidential response, which is displayed as response number 31 on the EBA webpage at the above link.
- Credit Agricole, BNP Paribas, and Societe Generale submitted confidential responses.
- The other institutions listed in your request have not submitted individual responses.

For the three confidential responses, since these fall under the category of third-party documents under Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, we consulted the originators to assess whether they maintain their initial request not to disclose their answers as declared at the time of submission.
BNP Paribas and Societe Generale have agreed to disclose their responses. Please find them attached in response to your request.

We were unable to obtain Credit Agricole's response concerning the confidentiality of the responses they provided for the consultation in time to reply to your request. Therefore, their responses cannot be disclosed for the time being as they were marked as non-disclosable at the time of submission.

However, please note that the views included in the confidential responses are part of the summary of comments included in the feedback table of the final report. The views expressed in confidential responses are reflected throughout the feedback table. https://www.eba.europa.eu/sites/default/...

Sincerely,
EBA Legal and Compliance
