of 13 December 2018

supplementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2365 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to fees charged by the European Securities and Markets Authority to trade repositories

(Text with EEA relevance)



CHAPTER I

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Article 1

Recovery of supervisory costs in full

The fees charged to trade repositories shall cover:

(a) 

all costs relating to the registration and supervision of trade repositories by ESMA in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2015/2365, including those costs resulting from the recognition of trade repositories as well as costs resulting from the extension of registration or extension of recognition for trade repositories that have already been registered or recognised under Regulation (EU) No 648/2012;

(b) 

all costs for the reimbursement of competent authorities that have carried out work pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2365, and as a result of any delegation of tasks pursuant to Article 74 of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 and in accordance with Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 2015/2365 (EU).

Article 2

Applicable turnover

1.  

Trade repositories registered under Regulation (EU) 2015/2365 only shall keep audited accounts for the purposes of this Regulation which distinguish between at least the following:

(a) 

revenues generated from core functions of centrally collecting and maintaining records of SFTs under Regulation (EU) 2015/2365;

(b) 

revenues generated from ancillary services that are directly related to centrally collecting and maintaining records of SFTs under Regulation (EU) 2015/2365.

The applicable revenues from ancillary services of the trade repository for a given year (n) shall be the revenues from the services determined under point (b).

2.  

Trade repositories registered under both Regulation (EU) 2015/2365 and Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 shall keep audited accounts for the purposes of this Regulation which distinguish between at least the following:

(a) 

revenues generated from core functions of centrally collecting and maintaining records of SFTs under Regulation (EU) 2015/2365;

(b) 

revenues generated from core functions of centrally collecting and maintaining records of derivatives under Regulation (EU) No 648/2012;

(c) 

revenues generated from ancillary services that are directly related to centrally collecting and maintaining records of SFTs under Regulation (EU) 2015/2365;

(d) 

revenues generated from ancillary services that are directly related to both centrally collecting and maintaining records of SFTs under Regulation (EU) 2015/2365 and centrally collecting and maintaining records of derivatives under Regulation (EU) No 648/2012.

The applicable revenues from ancillary services of the trade repository for a given year (n) shall be the sum of

— 
the revenues referred to in point (c) and
— 
a share of the revenues referred to in point (d).

The share of the revenues referred to in point (d) shall be equal to the revenues referred to in point (a), divided by the sum of

— 
the revenues referred to in point (a) and
— 
the revenues referred to in point (b).
3.  

The applicable turnover of a trade repository for a given year (n) shall be the sum of

— 
its revenues generated from the core functions of centrally collecting and maintaining records of SFTs under Regulation (EU) 2015/2365 on the basis of the audited accounts of the previous year (n – 1) and
— 
its applicable revenues from ancillary services determined according to paragraphs 1 and 2, as applicable, on the basis of the audited accounts of the previous year (n – 1)

divided by the sum of

— 
the total revenues of all registered trade repositories generated from the core functions of centrally collecting and maintaining records of SFTs under Regulation (EU) 2015/2365 on the basis of the audited accounts of the previous year (n – 1) and
— 
the total applicable revenues from ancillary services of all registered trade repositories determined according to paragraphs 1 and 2, as applicable, on the basis of the audited accounts of the previous year (n – 1).

The applicable turnover of a given trade repository (‘TRi’ in the formula below) shall hence be calculated as follows:

image

where SFT revenue = revenue core SFT services + applicable revenue ancillary services.

4.  
Where the trade repository did not operate during the full previous year (n – 1), its applicable turnover shall be estimated according to the formula set out in paragraph 3 by extrapolating, for the trade repository, the value calculated for the number of months during which the trade repository operated in year (n – 1) to the whole year (n – 1).

Article 3

Adjustment of fees

Fees charged for ESMA's activities related to trade repositories shall be set at a level such as to avoid a significant accumulation of deficit or surplus.

Where there is a recurrent significant surplus or deficit, the Commission shall revise the level of fees.

2.  

The total annual supervisory fee and the annual supervisory fee for a given trade repository for a given year (n) shall be calculated as follows:

the revenues generated from the core functions of centrally collecting and maintaining records of SFTs during the period from 1 January to 30 June of the year during which the trade repository was registered and
— 
the applicable revenues from ancillary services of the trade repository in accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article 2 of the present Regulation, as applicable, during the period from 1 January to 30 June of the year during which the trade repository was registered
