[ESMA 33-128-563 Securitisation Q&A, Q&A 5.1.1.c]

ESMA began accepting applications for registration as Securitisation Repository on 23 September 2020. Entities wishing to become a registered securitisation repository, should consult  ESMA’s Guidance on registering securitisation repositories of 2 December 2019 (ESMA80-191-932).

Until at least one securitisation repository has been registered by ESMA, information that should normally be made available by reporting entities to securitisation repositories according to the Securitisation Regulation must instead be made available via a website that meets certain conditions (See the fourth sub-paragraph of Article 7(2) of the Securitisation Regulation). ESMA has no powers to supervise any website, nor is ESMA able to provide an assessment of whether any potential website meets the applicable requirements of the Securitisation Regulation.
