The European Banking Authority (EBA) announced an extension of some consultation deadlines due to website maintenance. The EBA took its website offline on 21 October 2026 at 13:00 CEST and restored it on 22 October 2026 at 14:00 CEST after addressing critical security flaws identified by CERT-EU.
The EBA did not specify which consultations are affected by this extension. Firms engaged in regulatory consultations with the EBA should be aware of potential delays and adjust their timelines accordingly.
The EBA advises all regulated entities to monitor its communications for updates on consultation deadlines. Compliance teams should ensure they are prepared to respond within the revised timeframes.
