    ESMA Answer
    23-05-2019

      ESMA considers that the field “contact info” of the register of administrators https://registers.esma.europa.eu/publication/searchRegister?core=esma_registers_bench_entities should, where available, include the website of the administrator and in particular, the link to the web page where the administrator publishes or will publish the benchmark statements pursuant to Article 27 of BMR.

      Indeed, according to Article 36 of BMR, the register does not include the EU benchmarks but only the administrators providing those benchmarks in the Union. The link to the webpage where the administrator publishes or will publish its benchmark statements would ease the search of benchmarks provided by that administrator for users of benchmarks. Further, this field should be updated regularly to ensure the accuracy of the information in the register
