COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2022/1857

of 10 June 2022

amending the regulatory technical standards laid down in Delegated Regulation (EU) No 150/2013 as regards the details of the applications for registration as a trade repository and for applications for extension of registration as a trade repository

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2012 on OTC derivatives, central counterparties and trade repositories (1), and in particular Article 56(3), third subparagraph, thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 150/2013 (2) specifies the details of the application for registration as a trade repository.

(2)

Following the entry into force of Regulation (EU) 2019/834 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), trade repositories are required to have in place the procedures for the reconciliation of data between trade repositories and procedures to verify the compliance with the reporting requirements by the reporting counterparty or submitting entity and to verify the completeness and correctness of the data reported. To ensure that the European Securities and Markets Authority has the relevant information allowing it to verify that a trade repository complies with those requirements when assessing the application for registration of a trade repository, trade repositories should be required to provide information regarding the procedures they have put in place for the authentication of the identity of the users accessing the data, provision of feedback to relevant entities on the authorization of the report submitting entity, verification of the completeness and correctness of the data, reconciliation and the outcomes of the reconciliation process, for the provision of a warning feedback to submitting entities and for changing legal entity identifiers, in accordance with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1858 (4).

(3)

To ensure that the trade repositories meet the highest regulatory standards, additional rules need to be introduced with regard to the information to be provided on the procedures on portability, on the IT issues that impact the quality of the data and with regard to the reporting log.

(4)

Details of a simplified application for the extension of registration should be established to allow the trade repositories already registered under Regulation (EU) 2015/2365 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) to have their registration extended under Regulation (EU) No 648/2012. To avoid any duplication of requirements, the trade repositories applying for an extension of registration should only be required to provide information on the adaptations to their systems, processes and resources necessary to ensure they comply with the requirements of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012.

(5)

The payment of the applicable fees by trade repositories when submitting the application for registration or for extension of registration as a trade repository is essential to cover the expenses of European Securities and Markets Authority relating to that registration or extension of registration. The proof of payment should therefore be included in the application.

(6)

Delegated Regulation (EU) No 150/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(7)

This Regulation is based on the draft regulatory technical standards submitted to the Commission by the European Securities and Markets Authority.

(8)

The European Securities and Markets Authority has conducted open public consultations on the draft regulatory technical standards on which this Regulation is based, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the advice of the Securities and Markets Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6).

(9)

To enable trade repositories to take all necessary actions to adapt to the changes to the requirements regarding the information on verification of completeness and correctness of data introduced by this Regulation, the date of application of those provisions should be deferred,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Delegated Regulation (EU) No 150/2013 is amended as follows:
