What Article 106 changes operationally

Coordination with ESMA or EBA: ESMA's Interactive Single Rulebook publishes Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 Article 106 with the title “Coordination with ESMA or EBA”. The public text says ESMA or, for asset-referenced tokens and e-money tokens, EBA, performs a facilitating and coordinating role for competent-authority measures under Article 105.

Public Article 106 text says ESMA or EBA should ensure that competent-authority measures are justified and proportionate and that a consistent approach is taken where appropriate. After Article 105(3) notification, ESMA or EBA issues an opinion on whether a prohibition or restriction is justified and proportionate, publishes that opinion, and a competent authority acting contrary to the opinion must publish a notice explaining its reasons.

This page is a record-preparation checklist. It is not a legal interpretation, supervisory-response instruction, market-access instruction, authorisation opinion, provider endorsement, broker recommendation, or assurance about any ESMA opinion, EBA opinion, competent-authority measure, notice, prohibition, restriction, timing, client impact, crypto-asset, service, activity, or fact pattern.

Does this page decide whether an ESMA or EBA opinion applies?
