COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2019/359

of 13 December 2018

supplementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2365 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards specifying the details of the application for registration and 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) 2015/2365 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2015 on transparency of securities financing transactions and of reuse and amending Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 (1), and in particular Article 5(7) thereof,

Whereas:

 

(1)

Rules should be laid down specifying the information to be provided to the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) as part of an application for registration or extension of registration as a trade repository.

 

(2)

Establishing a comprehensive and sound framework for registration and extension of registration of trade repositories is essential for the achievement of the objectives of Regulation (EU) 2015/2365 and for the efficient provision of repository functions.

 

(3)

The rules and standards for the registration and the extension of registration of trade repositories for the purposes of Regulation (EU) No 2365/2015 should build on pre-existing infrastructures, operational processes and formats which were introduced with regard to reporting derivative contracts to trade repositories, in order to minimise additional operational costs for market participants.

 

(4)

Experience in applying the provisions of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 150/2013 (2) supplementing Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council on OTC derivatives, central counterparties and trade repositories with regard to regulatory technical standards specifying the details of the application for registration as a trade repository has proved that the provisions for registration of trade repositories under Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 constitute a sound basis to build the framework for registration of trade repositories under Regulation (EU) 2015/2365. In order to further strengthen that framework, this Regulation should reflect the evolving nature of the industry.

 

(5)

Any application for registration as a trade repository should contain information on the structure of its internal controls and the independence of its governing bodies, in order to enable ESMA to assess whether the corporate governance structure ensures the independence of the trade repository and whether that structure and its reporting routines are sufficient to ensure compliance with the requirements for trade repositories set out in Regulation (EU) 2015/2365. Detailed information on the relevant internal control mechanisms and structures, the internal audit function as well as the audit work plan should be included in the application for registration in order to enable ESMA to assess the way in which those factors contribute to the efficient functioning of the trade repository.

 

(6)

Although trade repositories which operate through branches are not considered separate legal persons, separate information on branches should be provided in order to enable ESMA to clearly identify the position of the branches in the organisational structure of the trade repository, assess the fitness for duty and appropriateness of the senior management of the branches, and evaluate whether the control mechanisms, compliance and other functions in place are robust enough to identify, evaluate and manage the branches' risks in an effective manner.

 

(7)

For the purpose of enabling ESMA to assess the good repute,...
