What Article 95 changes operationally

Cooperation between competent authorities: Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 Article 95 is titled “Cooperation between competent authorities” and addresses how competent authorities cooperate with each other for the purposes of MiCA.

Article 95 includes a cooperation frame where competent authorities supply each other with information and cooperate in investigations, supervisory activities, and enforcement activities, including without undue delay where the request concerns an investigation, inspection, or information request.

For CASP operating evidence, treat Article 95 as a reason to make cross-border supervisory context easy to verify: home and host Member State assumptions, competent-authority source URLs, request provenance, evidence owner, confidentiality or professional-secrecy notes, response status, and links to the original authorisation or cross-border-services route.

This page is a control-mapping checklist. It is not a legal interpretation, cross-border filing instruction, supervisory-response instruction, authorisation opinion, enforcement-risk determination, provider endorsement, broker recommendation, or assurance about any firm, authority, request, investigation, inspection, service, Member State, or fact pattern.

Article 95 cooperation evidence map

Cross-border request register

Track requesting authority, receiving authority, Member State, service or entity scope, source URL, retrieval date, request type, evidence owner, due-date assumptions, response status, and unresolved external-advice questions.

Information-sharing provenance

Keep source files, version history, document-production logs, confidentiality or professional-secrecy handling notes, redaction decisions, and sign-off ownership for any record shared across authorities.

Investigation or supervisory-activity handoffs

Connect Article 95 cooperation files to Article 94 response logs, Article 93 competent-authority routing, service-scope evidence, client-impact notes, incident records, and governance escalation minutes.

Cross-border services reconciliation

For firms providing services across Member States, reconcile Article 65 service maps, host Member State lists, starting-date records, other-activity boundaries, Article 109 register fields, and competent-authority correspondence.

FAQ

What does MiCA Article 95 cover?

Article 95 is titled “Cooperation between competent authorities” and addresses cooperation and information-sharing between competent authorities for MiCA-related supervisory, investigative, and enforcement work.

Why does Article 95 matter for CASP evidence packs?

Cross-border supervision can create multiple authority touchpoints. CASPs should keep request provenance, source URLs, evidence owners, response status, confidentiality notes, and links to authorisation, register, governance, and service-scope records easy to review.

How does Article 95 connect to insurance or partner diligence?

Cooperation records can expose operational-risk gaps around document retention, governance ownership, authority routing, cross-border service scope, confidentiality handling, incident response, and supervisory-response readiness. Those gaps can matter to partners, auditors, counsel, brokers, insurers, and internal-risk teams without turning this page into legal, supervisory, brokerage, underwriting, or insurance advice.
