1. Where a competent authority of a Member State considers that, in a particular matter, cross-border cooperation with competent authorities of another Member State as referred to in Articles 28 or 29 of this Regulation does not comply with the relevant conditions set out in those provisions, it may refer the matter to EBA and may request its assistance in accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010.
2. Where EBA has been requested to provide assistance pursuant to paragraph 1, it shall take a decision under Article 19(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 without undue delay. EBA may also, on its own initiative, assist the competent authorities in reaching an agreement in accordance with Article 19(1), second subparagraph of that Regulation. In either case, the competent authorities involved shall defer their decisions pending resolution of the disagreement pursuant to Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010.
