What Article 118 changes operationally
EBA committee routing: ESMA's Interactive Single Rulebook title for Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 Article 118 is “EBA crypto-asset committee.” The Article 118 text states that EBA creates a permanent internal committee pursuant to Article 41 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 for preparing EBA decisions under Article 44 of that regulation, including decisions related to supervisory tasks conferred on EBA by MiCA.
The same public text says the crypto-asset committee may prepare decisions in relation to draft regulatory technical standards and draft implementing technical standards connected to EBA's MiCA supervisory tasks, and that EBA ensures the committee performs only those activities and necessary crypto-asset-related tasks.

Article 118 evidence matrix
Committee-scope notes
Separate crypto-asset committee records from ordinary CASP operating evidence so internal teams do not overstate what a committee process proves about a firm or token.
RTS and ITS handoffs
Track draft regulatory technical standards and draft implementing technical standards references, version dates, public source links, responsible team, and downstream control owners.
EBA supervision links
Connect Article 118 governance evidence to Article 117 significant-token supervision files and Article 96 EBA/ESMA cooperation records where the same matter appears in multiple authority routes.
Confidentiality boundaries
Tag professional-secrecy, personal-data, and authority-exchange assumptions before copying committee-related notes into Article 94, Article 95, Article 100, or Article 101 files.
Governance escalation
Preserve response owners, review dates, board or management-body notes where relevant, client or holder impact assumptions, and open qualified-review questions.

FAQ
What does MiCA Article 118 cover?
Article 118 is titled “EBA crypto-asset committee.” ESMA's public text describes a permanent internal EBA committee for preparing certain EBA decisions, including decisions related to MiCA supervisory tasks, and possible decisions on draft regulatory and implementing technical standards.
Why is Article 118 relevant to CASP diligence?
CASPs, issuers, counsel, auditors, and risk teams may need to distinguish operational evidence they control from EBA committee, supervision, cooperation, and technical-standard records they only track through public or authority-facing sources.
Does this page say what EBA will decide?
No. It only helps organize conservative, source-backed evidence and handoffs. EBA decisions, technical-standard status, supervisory responses, and issuer- or CASP-specific implications require qualified review.
