1.2 Scope of institutions for the gender pay gap data collection

Competent authorities should collect and submit to the EBA gender pay gap data on an individual basis from the institutions from which these competent authorities collect remuneration data, i.e. the institution responsible for the consolidation of data under Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 575/2013 or the individual institution included in the sample for remuneration benchmarking. Competent authorities should also collect gender pay gap data from institutions that do not qualify as small and non-complex in accordance with point (145) of Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EU) 575/2013 and adequately represent the variety of the different types of institutions in that Member State, including institutions with securities admitted to trading or privately held, cooperative and savings banks, state-owned banks and investment firms applying Directive 2013/36/EU. In any case, gender pay gap data should only be collected from institutions that have at least 50 staff on an individual basis, excluding the members of the management body in its supervisory function.

When applying paragraph 17, competent authorities should endeavour to collect gender pay gap data from at least 5 institutions (on an individual basis) in each of the following size categories in

11 their Member State, even if the collection of remuneration benchmarking data under section 1.1 concerns a lower number of institutions:

• a. total assets of up to EUR 5 bn;
• b. total assets of between EUR 5 bn and EUR 15 bn;
• c. total assets of EUR 15 bn or above.
