FRP 2024/80 - Sign. - Benchmarks: Council agrees negotiating mandate on benchmarks regulation
Aflevering 1, gepubliceerd op 27-01-2024 On 20 December 2023 the European Council agreed its negotiating mandate on benchmarks regulation. The proposal concerns the scope of the rules for benchmarks, the use in the EU of benchmarks provided by an administrator located in a third country, and certain reporting requirements. The Council specified that only those benchmarks designated as critical, as significant (either by meeting a quantitative threshold, or by designation of the national competent authority concerned or by ESMA), EU Paris-aligned Benchmarks, EU Climate Transition Benchmarks, and certain commodity benchmarks (subject to Annex II) should remain under the scope of regulation. Administrators of those benchmarks that were authorised, registered, endorsed or recognised on the date of application of this amending regulation should not be obliged to re-apply for authorisation, registration, recognition, or endorsement.
