What this page covers
1 return: the Short-term exercise (STE), the additional supervisory information package the ECB collects directly to support SREP's risk-specific quantitative tools. The SREP itself (the Pillar 2 Requirement and Pillar 2 Guidance it sets, and its assessment of business models, internal governance, and risks to capital and liquidity) is the ECB's own supervisory judgement on banks, not a return banks file, so it is described here rather than as a separate return. Recurring COREP/FINREP prudential reporting, which EBA technical standards define and which this library already covers under the European Banking Authority, is out of scope here to avoid duplication. Ad hoc and one-off SSM-wide data collections beyond the STE (for example stress-test and NPE data requests referred to in ECB conference materials) were not confirmed with a dedicated ECB Banking Supervision page this session and are not recorded.

How firms file
The library records no filing system for the ECB Banking Supervision. Each return's page gives its format and how it is sent, where the regulator says.
The returns (1)
Plain name first, the ECB Banking Supervision's code in brackets. Each return has its own page: what it is for, who files it, the deadline, the templates, the validation rules, the documents and the sources.
| Return | Group | How often | Format | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Short-term exercise (STE) additional supervisory information | Group: Capital | How often: Varies | Format: Other | In force |

Data the ECB Banking Supervision publishes from the returns
- SREP aggregate results, Pillar 2 Requirement and Pillar 2 Guidance
Added up across firms · Web pages and reports
Once a year the ECB publishes a summary of SREP results for all the banks it supervises directly, including the Pillar 2 Requirement (the extra capital each bank needs to cover the risks it faces) and Pillar 2 Guidance (the capital buffer it expects banks to hold to withstand stress). Source

Reuse terms for the ECB Banking Supervision's documents
ECB Banking Supervision: Disclaimer & Copyright, checked 13 November 2026. In the ECB Banking Supervision's words:
Subject to the exception below, users of this website may make free use of the information obtained directly from it subject to the following conditions: When such information is distributed or reproduced, it must appear accurately and the ECB must be cited as the source.
- Can others share copies?
- Allowed with conditions.
- Conditions
- Credit: cite the ECB as the source, and reproduce the information accurately. If sold in any medium, buyers must be told the information is available free on this website. If the information is modified (for example by seasonal adjustment or calculating growth rates), that must be stated. The exception: Occasional Papers and Working Papers need the ECB's prior written authorisation, which is not relevant to the STE reporting templates page used here. No ECB logo is used.
- What the library does
- Links each document on the regulator's own site, with its size and SHA-256 fingerprint so a change can be spotted. Documents are never hosted on line4.ai.
Notice the ECB Banking Supervision's terms ask for: Source: European Central Bank, Banking Supervision, https://www.bankingsupervision.europa.eu. The plain-English summaries are Line4's own; the ECB does not endorse this library.
What could not be verified
Said plainly, so nobody relies on a fact the sources do not give.
- The STE reporting templates page and the SREP overview page did not return byte-identical content on a same-day recheck (same size, different SHA-256 each time), so no fingerprint is recorded for either; this looks like a dynamic element in the pages' markup, not changed facts.
- The STE's frequency, deadline and submission file format are not stated on the reporting-templates page itself; only 'at recurring intervals' is given.
- No validation rules specific to the STE templates were found on the page read.
- Ad hoc or one-off SSM-wide data collections beyond the STE (for example the SREP stress test, NPE quarterly data collection or horizontal data collections, referred to only in ECB conference presentation slides found by web search, not on a dedicated ECB Banking Supervision reporting page) were not confirmed by direct fetch this session and are not recorded as returns on this page.
- This page does not duplicate COREP/FINREP or other EBA-defined prudential returns, which this library already covers under the European Banking Authority; only the ECB's own direct, additional data collection (the STE) is recorded here.
