ANNEX

General Assumptions

Title I - Staff Expenditure

The following specific assumptions have been applied in the calculation of the staff expenditure based upon the identified staff ing needs explained below:

Additional staff hired in 2022 are costed for 6 months given the assumed time needed to recruit the additional staff. The 3 additional staff required for 2023 (over and above the staff required for 2022) are costed for 6 months given the assumed time needed to recruit the additional staff. Full staffing will be achieved in 2024.

The average annual cost of a Temporary Agent is EUR 150 000, of a Contract Agent is EUR 85 000 and for a seconded national

expert is EUR 80 000, all of which including EUR 25 000 of ‘habillage’ costs (Buildings, IT, etc.);

The correction coefficients applicable to staff salaries in Paris (EBA and ESMA) is 11 7.7;

Employer’s pension contributions for Temporary Agents have been based upon the standard basic salaries included in the standard

average annual costs, i.e. EUR 95 660;

All additional Temporary Agents are AD5s.

Title II – Infrastructure

and operating expenditure

Costs are based upon multiplying the number of staff by the proportion of the year employed by the standard cost for ‘habillage’, i.e. EUR 25 000. Title III – Operational expenditure

EN

164

EN

Costs are estimated subject to the following assumptions:

Translation cost are set at EUR 350 000 per year for the EBA.

The one-off I T costs of EUR 500 000 for the EBA are assumed to be implemented over the two years 2022 and 2023 on the basis of a 50% - 50% split. Yearly maintenance costs for the EBA are esti mated at EUR 50 000.

On-site yearly supervision costs for the EBA are estimated at EUR 200.000.

The estimations presented here above result in the following costs per year:

SPECIFIC INFORMATION

Direct Supervisory powers

The European Banking Authority (EBA) is a special Union body, which was established to protect the public interest by contributing to the short, medium and long-term stability and effectiveness of the financial system for the Union economy, its citizens and businesses.

While the EBA will need to recruit specialist personnel, the duties and functions to be undertaken to implement the proposed legislation are in line with the remit and tasks of the EBA.

Specifically, the EBA will need to train and hire specialist to fulfil the duties of the direct supervision as envisaged in this proposal for the supervision of issuers of significant asset-referenced tokens.

Other proposals covered under this Legislative Financial Statement

This Legislative Financial Statement also covers the financial impact stemming from the Proposal for a Regulation which accounts for the increase in the funding for ESMA.
