Decision to adopt a supervisory measure taking the form of a public notice in accordance with Articles 23e(5) and 24 of Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 on credit rating agencies The Board of Supervisors (“Board”), Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (“Treaty”) Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 establishing a European Supervisory Authority (European Securities and Markets Authority), amending Decision No 716/2009/EC and repealing Commission Decision 2009/77/EC (“ESMA Regulation”), and in particular Article 43(2) and Article 44(1) thereof Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 on credit rating agencies (“CRA Regulation”), in particular Articles 6(2), 23e, 24, 25 thereof Having regard to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 946/2012 of 12 July 2012 supplementing Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to rules of procedure on fines imposed to credit rating agencies by the European Securities and Markets Authority, including rules on the right of defence and temporal provisions (“Procedural Regulation”), in particular Article 3(4) thereof Whereas: (1) On the basis of the file containing the investigating officer’s findings and after examination of the submissions of Standard & Poor’s Credit Market Services France SAS and Standard & Poor’s Credit Market Services Europe Limited the Board finds that the registered credit rating agencies Standard & Poor’s Credit Market Services France SAS and Standard & Poor’s Credit Market Services Europe Limited have committed the infringements listed in paragraphs 12 and 18 of Annex III.I of the CRA Regulation.

(3) The Board thus decides to adopt a supervisory measure taking the form of a public notice in accordance with Article 24 of the CRA Regulation. Has adopted this decision: Article 1 The Board of Supervisors finds that the registered credit rating agencies Standard & Poor’s Credit Market Services France SAS and Standard & Poor’s Credit Market Services Europe Limited have committed the infringements listed in paragraphs 12 and 18 of Annex III.I of Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 on credit rating agencies.

| 22/12/2014 | 2014/1583 | Credit Rating Agencies’ 2014 market share calculations for the purposes of Article 8d of the CRA Regulation | Credit Rating Agencies | Reference | PDF 330 KB |
One of the objectives of the CRA Regulation is to increase competition in the markets for credit ratings by encouraging issuers to use smaller credit rating agencies. To this end, Article 8d(1) of the CRA Regulation states that where issuers or related third parties intend to appoint at least two CRAs to rate an issuance or entity, they shall consider appointing at least one CRA with no more than 10% of the total market share. They will consider this where the issuer or related third party finds that such a CRA is capable of rating the relevant issuance or entity and there is such a CRA available to rate the issuance or entity in question. Where it is not possible to appoint at least one CRA with no more than 10% of the total market share, the issuer or related third party shall document this. The obligations in Article 8d are supervised and enforced at national level by sectoral competent authorities. To help issuers and related third parties carry out this evaluation, Article 8d(2) of the CRA Regulation requires ESMA to publish a list of CRAs registered in the European Union (EU) on its website every year, indicating their total market share and the types of credit ratings issued. | |||
