Observadores

5.4 El supervisor principal deberá invitar a participar en el colegio de PBC/FT, en calidad de observadores, a los supervisores prudenciales de entidades que operan de forma transfronteriza, a los establecimientos transfronterizos y de terceros países en la UE y a las autoridades de PBC/FT de terceros países en los que operen los establecimientos transfronterizos. También podrá invitar a participar a los supervisores prudenciales de terceros países en los que operen establecimientos transfronterizos y a la Unidad de Inteligencia Financiera (UIF) del Estado miembro en el que esté ubicado el supervisor principal.

5.5 El supervisor principal será responsable de identificar a los observadores mencionados en la Directriz 5.4 y de registrar sus nombres y datos de contacto en la lista de contactos del colegio de PBC/FT correspondiente de conformidad con la Directriz 6. Para identificar a las autoridades pertinentes, el supervisor principal podrá consultar a las AES.

5.6 Al decidir si invitar a un observador determinado, el supervisor principal deberá elaborar una lista de posibles observadores de acuerdo con lo dispuesto en la Directriz 5.5. Para ello, deberá tener en cuenta todas las propuestas que los miembros permanentes le hayan presentado por escrito en un periodo razonable y su justificación para invitar a un observador determinado al colegio de PBC/FT. Para proponer un observador, el supervisor principal o el miembro permanente que proponga invitar al observador deberá llevar a cabo:

  • (a) Una evaluación de la equivalencia del régimen de confidencialidad aplicable a la autoridad de supervisión de PBC/FT o de supervisión prudencial de un tercer país. Como parte de esta evaluación, el supervisor principal o un miembro permanente podrá consultar la recomendación sobre equivalencia de autoridades de fuera de la UE para la participación en colegios de supervisión publicada en el sitio web de la ABE, que puede ser importante para la evaluación general de la equivalencia de la autoridad de un tercer país. Además, si procede, se podrán consultar las decisiones de la Comisión Europea en materia de equivalencia en el ámbito de la Directiva de Solvencia II4 y las decisiones sobre adecuación en materia de protección de datos5 .
  • (b) Una evaluación del impacto que pueda tener la asistencia del observador en el funcionamiento del colegio de PBC/FT.
  • (c) Una evaluación de la capacidad y la preparación del supervisor de PBC/FT o del supervisor prudencial de un tercer país para firmar acuerdos bilaterales de cooperación con todos los miembros permanentes de conformidad con el artículo 57 bis, apartado 5, de la Directiva (UE) 2015/849.

5.7 El supervisor principal deberá compartir con todos los miembros permanentes del colegio de PBC/FT y con los observadores existentes una lista de posibles observadores acompañada de los resultados de la evaluación realizada en virtud de la Directriz 5.6.

5.8 Los miembros permanentes formularán cualquier observación u objeción a los observadores invitados a participar en el colegio de PBC/FT dentro del plazo establecido por el supervisor principal. Estas observaciones y objeciones deberán ir acompañadas de un escrito en el que expliquen en qué se basan dichas observaciones u objeciones y cómo la propuesta de participación del observador en el colegio de PBC/FT podría afectar, en opinión del miembro permanente, a los procedimientos del colegio.

5.9 El supervisor principal solo podrá invitar a participar en el colegio de PBC/FT a un observador cuando ninguno de los miembros permanentes se oponga a ello y siempre que el observador potencial se comprometa a respetar las condiciones de participación, que deberán ser redactadas por el supervisor principal y acordadas con las autoridades pertinentes de forma individual para cada observador.

5.10 La ABE podrá ser consultada o actuar a iniciativa propia para conciliar o mediar en cualquier cuestión que surja respecto a la invitación y la participación de observadores.
