The European Commission in order to foster sound governance and promote convergence of supervisory practices across Europe stipulated the requirement of supervisory disclosure (Article 144 of Directive of the European Parliament 2006/48/EC).
The purpose of the supervisory disclosure framework is to:
Enhancing the effectives of supervision, by facilitation interaction between institutions and competent authorities; addressing the legitimate expectations of institutions, in which need clarity and transparency of the rules they must comply with; and providing easy access to the disclosed information.
Helping to promote a level-playing field throughout Europe, by facilitation meaningful comparisons of supervisory approaches. Disclosure can be view as on tool among many for promoting convergence in supervisory practices across Europe.

Administrative rules. The term "administrative rules" is used in a variety of ways in different contexts. For the purposes of supervisory disclosure it refers to documents that instruct supervised entities on how to satisfy legislative and regulatory requirements.
General guidance. This includes explicit disclosure requirements from the Directive 2006/48/EC, and explanations deemed necessary to set out how the rules should be applied by institutions.
