ESMA launches data collection under the first phase of ESAP
The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU regulator and supervisor, has launched the collection of information from Officially Appointed Mechanisms (OAMs) and National Competent Authorities (NCAs) - “collection bodies” - for the first phase of implementation of the European Single Access Point (ESAP).
From today, OAMs and NCAs will start providing to ESAP the information and the metadata collected from entities. This marks the first milestone towards the go-live of the ESAP platform, which will become accessible to the public by July 2027 as required by the ESAP Regulation.
ESAP will provide free, easy and centralised access to financial and sustainability information about entities and their products.
Next steps
Over the next 12 months, ESAP will gather a meaningful set of EU-wide information ahead of the platform’s public opening.
Information in scope of the first phase of ESAP relates to the Transparency Directive, the Prospectus Regulation and the Short-selling Regulation. Further information will come in scope of the platform in the coming years as established by the applicable legislation.
