COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2016/1437 of 19 May 2016 supplementing Directive 2004/109/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards on access to regulated information at Union level
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2004/109/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 December 2004 on the harmonisation of transparency requirements in relation to information about issuers whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market and amending Directive 2001/34/EC (1), and in particular Article 22 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In order to ensure fast access to regulated information on a non-discriminatory basis and make that information available to end users, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has an obligation to develop and operate a European Electronic Access Point (EEAP). The EEAP should be conceived as a web portal accessible through ESMA's website and, given its centralising role, should not assume the functions of official appointed mechanisms (OAMs) in respect of storage of regulated information. The EEAP should provide access to regulated information stored by all OAMs, avoid the duplication of data storage and minimise the risks to security of data exchange.
(2) In order to facilitate the search for regulated information and to ensure fast access to that information, the EEAP should offer end users the possibility to search by reference to the identity of an issuer, the home Member State or the type of regulated information. At the same time, the EEAP should enable end users to access the regulated information requested by them through hyperlinks to OAMs' websites where that information is stored.
(3) The proper functioning of the EEAP and its connection with OAMs depend on the security, effectiveness, efficiency and adaptability of the supporting communication technologies. The Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure should be used by the EEAP and OAMs to connect with each other. However, given the continuous developments in communication technologies and the need to ensure the integrity and security of the exchange of metadata on regulated information, ESMA and the OAMs should cooperate in identifying and implementing alternative communication technologies in the future. Furthermore, where ESMA considers, according to objective technical criteria, that cooperation required for that purpose is ineffective, ESMA should be able to indicate what alternative communication technologies are to be used by the EEAP and OAMs.
(4) In order to enable cross-border searches and accurate search results, an OAM should use a unique identifier for each issuer of securities admitted to trading on a regulated market. Harmonisation of the unique identifiers used by OAMs should enable end users of the EEAP to identify more readily the issuers in respect of whom the end users seek information. Moreover, given the integration of financial markets at international level, the unique
(1) OJ L 390, 31.12.2004, p. 38. L 234/2 EN Official Journal of the European Union 31.8.2016
identifiers to be used by OAMs should be accepted internationally, be suitable to be assigned to any issuer, be consistent in time, have a limited financial impact on issuers and OAMs, and take into account future developments in this area. Therefore, OAMs should use legal entity identifiers as the unique identifier for issuers of securities admitted to trading on a regulated market.
(5) Harmonisation of the format used to exchange information between the EEAP and the OAMs is necessary in order to ensure the effective functioning of the EEAP. Accordingly, the identification of the appropriate format for exchange of information should take into account the security exchange and validation attributes of the most common standard formats used on the market. As the EEAP should not assume the functions of OAMs in respect of storage of regulated information, the format for exchange of regulated information should determine the metadata on regulated information to be enabled by an OAM to ensure a focussed search and fast access to regulated information by end users.
(6) Setting out a common list of types of regulated information should enable investors to have a better understanding of the information which is subject to the requirements of accuracy, comprehensiveness and timely dissemination by issuers under Directive 2004/109/EC. The common labelling and classification of regulated information by OAMs for the purpose of end users seeking to access regulated information via the EEAP should enable the end users to focus their search requests on the types of information of interest to them and should give rise to efficiencies for investors in their decision making processes.
(7) Visualisation or downloading of documents containing regulated information by end users is subject to OAMs' pricing policies in accordance with national law of each Member State. However, OAMs should not charge the EEAP for the delivery of metadata on regulated information.
(8) It is necessary to provide OAMs and issuers with sufficient time to implement the legislative and technological changes required to ensure the use of legal entity identifiers as the unique identifier for issuers of securities admitted to trading on a regulated market. It is also necessary to provide OAMs and issuers with sufficient time to implement the legislative and technological changes that are necessary for the storage and tagging of information for the purposes of classification of regulated information.
(9) This Regulation is based on the draft regulatory technical standards submitted by ESMA to the Commission.
(10) In accordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010 of the European Parliament and the Council (1), in developing the draft regulatory technical standards on which this Regulation is based, ESMA has conducted open public consultations, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the opinion of the Securities and Markets Stakeholder Group established by Article 37 of that Regulation. At the same time, ESMA has taken into account the technical requirements for the system of interconnection of central, commercial and companies registers established by Directive 2012/17/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (2),
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The European Electronic Access Point
The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) shall set up as a web portal, the European Electronic Access Point (EEAP), to regulated information to enable end users to search for regulated information stored by official appointed mechanisms (OAMs). The web portal shall be accessible through the website of ESMA.
(1) Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010 of the European Parliament and the Council establishing a European Supervisory Authority (European Securities and Markets Authority), amending Decision No 716/2009/EC and repealing Commission Decision 2009/77/EC (OJ L 331, 15.12.2010, p. 84). (2) Directive 2012/17/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 June 2012 amending Council Directive 89/666/EEC and Directives 2005/56/EC and 2009/101/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the interconnection of central, commercial and companies registers (OJ L 156, 16.6.2012, p. 1). 31.8.2016 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 234/3

DECISIONS
COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2016/1441 of 30 August 2016 amending the Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU concerning animal health control measures relating to African swine fever in certain Member States (notified under document C(2016) 5670)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra- Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (2), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (3), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU (4) lays down animal health control measures in relation to African swine fever in certain Member States. The Annex to that Implementing Decision demarcates and lists certain areas of those Members States in Parts I, II, III and IV thereof differentiated by the level of risk based on the epidemiological situation. That list includes certain areas of Estonia.
(2) In August 2016, one outbreak of African swine fever in domestic pigs and one case in a feral pig occurred in the Saare County in Estonia in an area currently not listed in the Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU. The occurrence of this outbreak and the case in feral pigs constitute an increase in the level of risk that needs to be taken into account. Accordingly, certain areas of Estonia should now be listed in Parts I, II and III of the Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU.
(3) The evolution of the current epidemiological situation of African swine fever in the affected feral pig populations in the Union should be taken into account in the assessment of the animal health risk posed by to that situation as regards that disease in Estonia. In order to focus the animal health control measures provided for in Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU and to prevent the further spread of African swine fever, as well as to prevent any unnecessary disturbance to trade within the Union and to avoid unjustified barriers to trade by third countries, the Union list of areas subject to the animal health control measures set out in the Annex to that Implementing Decision should be amended to take into account the changes in the current epidemiological situation as regards that disease in Estonia.
(4) The Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.
