(20 On 12 May 2011, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) published International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 10 Consolidated Financial State- ments, IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, as well the amended Inter- national Accounting Standard (IAS) 27 Separate Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investment in Associates and Joint Ventures. The objective of IFRS 10 is to provide a single consolidation model that identifies control as the basis for consolidation for all types of entities. IFRS 10 replaces 1AS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and Interpretation 12 of the Standing Inter- pretations Committee (SIC) Consolidation—Special Purpose Entities (SIC-12). IFRS 11 establishes principles for the financial reporting by parties to a joint arrangement, () O] L 243, 11.9.2002, p. 1. () O] L 320, 29.11.2008, p. 1. and replaces IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13 Jointly Controlled Entities—Non-monetary Contributions by Venturers. IFRS 12 combines, enhances and replaces the disclosure requirements for subsidiaries, joint arrange- ments, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. As a consequence of these new IFRSs, the IASB also issued the amended IAS 27 and IAS 28. This Regulation endorses IFRS 10, IFRS 11, IFRS 12, and the amended IAS 27 and IAS 28, as well as the resulting amendments to other standards and interpretations. Those standards and amendments to existing standards or interpretations contain some references to IFRS 9 that at present cannot be applied as IFRS 9 has not been adopted by the Union yet. Therefore, any reference to IFRS 9 as laid down in the Annex to this Regulation should be read as a reference to IAS 39 Financial Instru- ments: Recognition and Measurement. Additionally, any consequential amendment to IFRS 9 resulting from the Annex to this Regulation cannot be applied. The consultation with the Technical Expert Group (TEG) of the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) confirms that IFRS 10, IFRS 11, IFRS 12, and the amended IAS 27 and IAS 28 meet the technical criteria for adoption set out in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002. Regulation (EC) No 1126/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly. The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Accounting Regu- latory Committee,
