Article 107 Approaches to credit risk 1. Institutions shall apply either the Standardised Approach provided for in Chapter 2 or, if where permitted by the competent authorities in accordance with Article 143, the Internal Ratings Based Approach provided for in Chapter 3 to calculate their risk-weighted exposure amounts for the purposes of Article 92(4), points (a) and (f) of Article 92(3). (g). 2. For trade exposures and for default fund contributions to a central counterparty, institutions shall apply the treatment set out in Chapter 6, Section 9 9, to calculate their risk-weighted exposure amounts for the purposes of Article 92(4), points (a) and (f) of Article 92(3). (g). For all other types of exposures to a central counterparty, institutions shall treat those exposures as follows: (a) as exposures to an institution for other types of exposures to a qualifying CCP; (b) as exposures to a corporate for other types of exposures to a non-qualifying CCP. 3. For the purposes of this Regulation, exposures to a third-country investment firm, a firms, third-country credit institution institutions and a third-country exchange exchanges, as well as exposures to third-country financial institutions authorised and supervised by third-country authorities and subject to prudential requirements comparable to those applied to institutions in terms of robustness, shall be treated as exposures to an institution only where if the third country applies prudential and supervisory requirements to that entity that are at least equivalent to those applied in the Union. 4. For the purposes of paragraph 3, the Commission may adopt, by way of implementing acts, and subject to the examination procedure referred to in Article 464(2), a decision as to whether a third country applies prudential supervisory and regulatory requirements at least equivalent to those applied in the Union. In the absence of such a decision, until 1 January 2015, institutions may continue to treat exposures to the entities referred to in paragraph 3 as exposures to institutions provided that the relevant competent authorities have approved the third country as eligible for that treatment before 1 January 2014.
