Competent authorities should collect and submit to the EBA gender pay gap data on an individual basis from investment firms from which these competent authorities collect remuneration data, i.e. the investment firms responsible for the consolidation of data under Article 7 of Regulation (EU) 2019/2033 or the individual investment firms included in the sample for remuneration benchmarking that are subject to Articles 30 and 32 of Directive (EU) 2019/2034.

Competent authorities should collect at an individual level gender pay gap data from investment firms which have at least 50 staff, excluding the members of the management body in its supervisory function. When applying this paragraph, competent authorities should endeavour to collect gender pay gap data from at least five investment firms to which Article 32(1), points (j) and (l), and Article 32(3), third subparagraph, of Directive (EU) 2019/2034 apply and at least five investment firms to which these provisions do not apply in accordance with the derogation in Article 32(4)(a) of that Directive.
