This consultation seeks stakeholders’ views on the application requirements for firms seeking to register with ESMA as securitisation repositories. It also includes draft Guidelines on the transfer of data between securitisation repositories.

The Consultation Paper may be of particular interest to securitisation market infrastructures, investors/potential investors, securitisation issuers, as well as public bodies involved in securitisations (market regulators, resolution authorities, supervisory authorities, and standard setters).

All contributions received will be published following the close of the consultation, unless you request otherwise. Please clearly indicate by ticking the appropriate checkbox on the website submission page if you do not wish your contribution to be publicly disclosed. A confidential response may be requested from us in accordance with ESMA’s rules on access to documents. We may consult you if we receive such a request. Any decision we make not to disclose the response is reviewable by ESMA’s Board of Appeal and the European Ombudsman.
