What Article 107 changes operationally
Cooperation with third countries: ESMA's Interactive Single Rulebook publishes Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 Article 107 with the title “Cooperation with third countries”. The public text covers competent authorities of Member States concluding cooperation arrangements, where necessary, with supervisory authorities of third countries for information exchange and enforcement of obligations under MiCA in those third countries.
Public Article 107 text says those arrangements should ensure at least efficient information exchange so competent authorities can carry out their duties. It also says a competent authority should inform EBA, ESMA, and other competent authorities where it intends to conclude such an arrangement; ESMA, in close cooperation with EBA, facilitates and coordinates development of arrangements and exchange of information where possible; and information exchange with third-country supervisory authorities is tied to professional-secrecy guarantees at least equivalent to Article 100.

FAQ
What does MiCA Article 107 cover?
Article 107 is publicly titled “Cooperation with third countries”. Public text covers cooperation arrangements between Member State competent authorities and third-country supervisory authorities, plus ESMA/EBA coordination where possible.
Why does Article 107 matter for CASP evidence packs?
Cross-border operating models, third-country touchpoints, reverse-solicitation assumptions, and supervisory-response files can all depend on clean source records. A practical evidence pack should preserve authority identity, source URL, retrieval date, information-exchange scope, professional-secrecy handling, and unresolved external-advice questions.
Does this page decide whether a third-country cooperation arrangement applies?
No. This page does not decide applicability, authority competence, enforcement effect, secrecy equivalence, service permissions, reverse-solicitation status, or cross-border filing obligations. It helps teams preserve source-backed records for qualified legal, regulatory, competent-authority, partner, broker, insurer, auditor, or internal-risk review.
