Proposal for a

REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

amending certain Regulations as regards the establishment and functioning of the European single access point

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 114 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee [3],

Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure,

Whereas:

(1) In the Capital Markets Union (CMU) Action Plan [4], the Commission proposed to improve public access to entities’ financial and non-financial information by building a European Single Access Point (ESAP). The Commission Digital Finance Strategy [5] sets out general lines on how Europe can support the digital transformation of finance in the coming years, and in particular to promote a data-driven finance. In the Strategy for Financing the Transition to a Sustainable Economy [6], the Commission placed sustainable finance at the heart of the financial system as a key means to achieve the green transition of the EU economy, as part of the Green Deal [7].

(2) ESAP is to be established in accordance with Regulation (EU) XXX/XXX of the European Parliament and of the Council [ESAP Regulation][8] in order to enable an easy access to data for decision makers in the economy and society to make sound decisions that serve the efficient functioning of the market. Rolling out common European data spaces in crucial sectors, including the financial sector, would serve that purpose. The financial world is expected to undergo a digital transformation in the coming years, and the Union should support this, in particular by promoting data-driven finance. Ensuring easier access to public information is also crucial in order to increase opportunities for the growth of small and medium-sized businesses and for visibility and innovation, including easier access to information provided on a voluntary basis. Furthermore, putting sustainable finance at the heart of the financial system is a key means to achieving a green transition of the Union economy. For the green transition to succeed through sustainable finance, it is essential that information related to the sustainability and social governance of businesses is easily accessible to investors so that they are better informed when making decisions about investments. For those purposes, public access to financial and non-financial and ESG-related information on natural or legal persons (‘entities’) required to make information public, or publicly disclosing such submitting financial and sustainability-related information about their economic activities to a collection body on a voluntary basis▌ needs to be improved. An efficient means to do so at Union level is to establish a centralised platform, ESAP, giving electronic access to all relevant information.

(3) ESAP should provide the public with an easy centralised access to information about entities and their products in relation to financial services, capital markets and sustainability that entities and authorities are required to publish in accordance with a number of Directives and Regulations in that field in accordance with a file-once principle and without entailing any additional reporting requirements beyond those specified by law. Nevertheless, any natural or legal person may submit information about its economic activities of relevance to financial services, or to capital markets or concerning sustainability to a collection body with a view to making that information accessible on ESAP in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EU) XXX/XXX [ESAP Regulation].

(4) A number of Regulations in the field of financial services, capital markets and sustainability should be amended in order to enable the functioning of ESAP. To allow for a sound and efficient functioning of ESAP in a proportionate manner, the scaling-up of the collection and submission of the information would need to be gradual.

(5) For the functioning of ESAP, collection bodies should be designated to collect from the relevant entities the information in relation to financial services, capital markets and sustainability. In the absence of a collection body already established under Union law, Member States shall designate at least one of the Officially Appointed Mechanisms established under Directive 2004/109/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council [9] to collect and store the information, and notify the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) accordingly. That Officially Appointed Mechanism should act as a collection body as defined in Article 2, point (2) of Regulation (EU) XXXX/XXX [ESAP Regulation] and should carry out the specific tasks set out in that Regulation. Where a European Supervisory Authority or a competent authority is required under Union law to draw-up and publish on its website information on the relevant entities and their financial products in relation to financial services, capital markets and sustainability, that authority should act as a collection body as defined in Article 2, point (2) of Regulation (EU) XXXX/XXX [ESAP Regulation]. That authority should publish information in a data extractable format, include the names and, where available, the legal entity identifier of the entity, and specify the type of information.

(6) To ensure that ESAP provides timely access to information that is relevant for financial services, capital markets and sustainability as set out in Regulation (EU) XXXX/XXX [ESAP Regulation], entities should submit their information to a collection body at the same time as they make that information public. In turn, collection bodies should make the information available to ESAP in automated ways and without undue delay, drawing to the extent possible upon the existing collection procedures and infrastructures in place, at Union and national level, for the transmission of information from collection bodies to ESMA.

(7) In order for the information to be digitally usable, entities should submit to the collection bodies the information in at least a data extractable format or, where required under Union law, in a machine-readable format. Entities should also accompany the information they submit to the collection bodies with the metadata requested by those collection bodies. The Commission should be empowered to adopt implementing technical standards developed by the relevant European Supervisory Authority specifying the metadata for each piece of information, the data structuring of the information and information for which a machine-readable format is required and which machine-readable format is to be used in that case. As regards implementing technical standards concerning sustainability information, the Joint Committee of the European Supervisory Authorities should consult the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) on the development of those draft standards. All such standards should seek to make ESAP future-proof and allow for the possibility of potential global interoperability in the future, and therefore should draw upon global standards and best practices, where relevant.

(8) Entities should be held responsible for the information and accompanying metadata they submit to the collection bodies. Ensuring data integrity and credibility of the source would ▌protect entities from undue alteration of their information, and build public trust in ESAP. To that purpose, documents submitted by entities to the collection bodies should be allowed to be accompanied by a qualified electronic seal included by the reporting entity on the information submitted to the collection bodies where such seal is required, in accordance with specifications set out in Regulation (EU) XXXX/XXX [ESAP Regulation].

(8a) Collection bodies should not be responsible for verifying the accuracy of the content of the information, unless mandated to do so in accordance with the applicable Union legislative acts listed in the Annex to the ESAP Regulation. Entities subject to mandatory reporting should be responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the information submitted pursuant to their legal obligations under the applicable Union legislative acts listed in the Annex to the ESAP Regulation or national law.

(9) The European Data Protection Supervisor was consulted in accordance with Article 42(1) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 [10] and delivered an opinion on 19 January 2022 [11].

(10) Since the objective of this Regulation, namely to harmonise the disclosure requirements for the public information that should be accessible through ESAP, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore, by reason its scale or effects, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.

(11) The following Regulations should therefore be amended accordingly:

– Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 on credit rating agencies [12];

– Regulation (EU) No 236/2012 on short selling and certain aspects of credit default swaps [13];

OPINION OF THE COMMITTEE ON LEGAL AFFAIRS (29.11.2022)

for the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs

on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending certain Regulations as regards the establishment and functioning of the European single access point

(COM(2021)0725 – C9-0436/2021 – 2021/0380(COD))

Rapporteur for opinion: Pascal Durand

SHORT JUSTIFICATION

The financial sectors as well as companies are undergoing an ever-faster digital transformation. The European Union intends to support this development by facilitating access to data and documents made mandatory by the creation of new reporting standards. It is essential that information on corporate sustainability be part of this transparency effort so that not only investors but also consumers are better informed when making investment or purchasing decisions. An effective way to achieve this is to create a 'European Single Access Point' or 'ESAP', which should facilitate access to financial and sustainability information, and should have the ability to process this data by machines, where possible.

The JURI Rapporteur for opinion proposes to amend the ESAP Regulation and the Omnibus Directives and Regulations by focusing first and foremost on the aspects relating to the format and transmission of sustainability data, in particular when the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) introduces new reporting obligations.

In order to ensure a smooth treatment of the information received or compiled by the collection bodies and made available on ESAP, the Regulation lays down certain requirements that specify the format of this information and a first list of metadata to be provided.

It is important that some sustainability information, for example climate transition plans or certain information on corporate governance, be not only available online within the digitised management reports but accessible through the ESAP search tool as metadata. Similarly, the level of assurance of sustainability audit engagements – limited or reasonable – is important for judging the robustness of the data provided by companies and the progress they make towards achieving a level of sustainability reporting that is equivalent to that of financial reporting. This information should therefore be integrated into the search tool by means of a specific metadata.

To facilitate timely retrieval and extraction of data, it will be necessary to design the features of the programming interface and to develop a list of digital tags and metadata to be implemented in addition to those already required by the proposed Regulation. To this end, the Joint Committee of the European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs, i.e., ESMA, EBA and EIOPA) will be responsible for developing draft technical standards. Given the central role of the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) in the development of sustainability reporting standards, it should be involved in the selection and development of these new features, in particular when it comes to defining the requirements for accessibility formats for sustainability information and the choice of machine-readable tags within management reports.

In addition, the European Commission is considering applying user fees above a certain volume and frequency of data use on ESAP. The rapporteur proposes that such charges also apply when the available data are (re)used for commercial purposes. Free access to information should apply in all other cases. In this respect, ESMA should make public the thresholds of data volume and frequency of downloading above which fees apply. It should also be able to identify the users which have involved a large volume of information or frequently updated information, or who intend to commercially re-use the data. An individual, digital declaration appears to be an adequate way for a reliable identification of those users.

AMENDMENTS

The Committee on Legal Affairs calls on the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, as the committee responsible, to take into account the following amendments:

Amendment 1

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 3


Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
(3) ESAP should provide the public with an easy centralised access to information about entities and their products in relation to financial services, capital markets and sustainability that entities and authorities are required to publish in accordance with a number of Directives in that field . In any case, any natural or legal person may submit information about its economic activities of relevance to financial services, or to capital markets or concerning sustainability to a collection body with a view to making that information accessible on ESAP in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EU) XXX/XXX [ESAP Regulation].	(3) ESAP should provide the public with an easy centralised access to information about entities and their products in relation to financial services, capital markets and sustainability that entities and authorities are required to publish in accordance with a number of Directives in that field. It should also allow for more consumer-oriented accessibility of relevant information in order to meet the growing demand for quality information, in particular when it comes to sustainability. That should translate into an interface that is as user-friendly as possible, with a high degree of data comparability, and search criteria that are relevant to investors, market participants, advisors, civil society and the public at large, including consumers. In any case, any natural or legal person may submit information about its economic activities of relevance to financial services, or to capital markets or concerning sustainability to a collection body with a view to making that information accessible on ESAP in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EU) XXX/XXX [ESAP Regulation].
