Online Seminar „The Implementation of CRD VI in Germany“ on 14 October 2025
In June 2024, both CRD VI and CRR III were published in the EU Official Journal. This was also the official start of the implementation phase. Meanwhile, the German Ministry of Finance has published its draft CRD VI Implementing and Bureaucracy Reduction Act (the “BRUBEG”).
In this seminar, we analyse the implications for international banks that are active in Germany. After taking a look at the German draft implementing measures, we closely examine four key areas of the envisaged changes to the supervisory framework:
We look at the changes and effects regarding the possibilities of serving German customers across borders from non-EU countries. The regulation of third country branches (TCB) is also a major part of the draft and involves changes to the current system under the German Banking Act (KWG). Furthermore, significant amendments are planned with regard to the review of the qualifications of managing directors and key function holders. Finally, policy makers have chosen to include comprehensive ESG risk management requirements in CRD VI. We are taking this opportunity to present the current status of ESG regulation as a whole.
The seminar is designed for management, executive staff and experts in the fields of banking supervision, risk management, as well as controlling and auditing.
The following agenda is planned for the seminar day:
