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.
