Consultation on ESMA’s Technical Advice to the Commission on Fees for Trade Repositories

On 14 January 2013 ESMA received a formal request from the European Commission (the Commission) to provide technical advice to assist the Commission in formulating a Regulation on fees for Trade Repositories (TRs) by a delegated act. (Annex I)
In order to deliver its advice to the Commission, ESMA has considered possible fee structures for TRs applying for registration. In order to finalise its advice by the due deadline, ESMA considers it necessary to conduct a shortened consultation on the technical advice for fees structures in order to deliver robust advice to the Commission.
Respondents to this consultation are encouraged to provide the relevant data to support their arguments or proposals.
ESMA will consider the feedback it receives to this consultation until 6 March 2013 and will provide by 31 March 2013 its advice on technical aspects of delegated act which needs to be adopted by the Commission.
