Article 15 Collection and exchange of information

1. Panoramica

,
Article 15 1.
The ESRB shall provide the ESAs with the information on risks necessary for the achievement of their tasks.
Article 15 2.
The ESAs, the European System of Central Banks (ESCB), the Commission, the national supervisory authorities and national statistics authorities shall cooperate closely with the ESRB and shall provide it with all the information necessary for the fulfilment of its tasks in accordance with Union legislation.
Article 15 3.
Subject to Article 36(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010, of Regulation (EU) No 1094/2010 and of Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010, the ESRB may request information from the ESAs, as a rule in summary or aggregate form such that individual financial institutions cannot be identified.
Article 15 4.
Before requesting information in accordance with this Article, the ESRB shall first take account of the existing statistics produced, disseminated and developed by the European Statistical System and the ESCB.
Article 15 5.
If the requested information is not available or is not made available in a timely manner, the ESRB may request the information from the ESCB, the national supervisory authorities or the national statistics authorities. If the information remains unavailable, the ESRB may request it from the Member State concerned, without prejudice to the prerogatives conferred, respectively, on the Council, the Commission (Eurostat), the ECB, the Eurosystem and the ESCB in the field of statistics and data collection.
Article 15 6.
If the ESRB requests information that is not in summary or aggregate form, the reasoned request shall explain why data on the respective individual financial institution is deemed to be systemically relevant, and necessary, considering the prevailing market situation.
Article 15 7.
Before each request for information of a supervisory nature which is not in summary or aggregate form, the ESRB shall duly consult the relevant European Supervisory Authority in order to ensure that the request is justified and proportionate. If the relevant European Supervisory Authority does not consider the request to be justified and proportionate, it shall, without delay, send the request back to the ESRB and ask for additional justification. After the ESRB has provided the relevant European Supervisory Authority with such additional justification, the requested information shall be transmitted to the ESRB by the addressees of the request, provided that they have legal access to the relevant information.
Article 15 8.
The ESRB shall share, on a regular or case-by-case basis, information that it obtained from one of the other authorities when carrying out its duties and that stems from the application and implementation of Union law, with the other authorities upon request, provided that the requesting authority is entitled to obtain that information from financial institutions or the other authorities pursuant to Union law.
Article 15 9.
A request to exchange information pursuant to paragraph 8 of this Article shall indicate the legal basis under Union law that entitles the requesting authority to obtain the information from financial institutions or the other authorities.

The requesting authority and the ESRB shall be subject to the obligations of professional secrecy and data protection laid down in Article 8 and in sectoral legislation which apply to the sharing of information between the financial institution or the other authorities and the requesting authority, and between the other authorities and the ESRB.
Article 15 10.
Where the ESRB exchanges information pursuant to paragraph 8, it shall, without undue delay, inform each authority from which it obtained the information about the exchange. In the case of recurring or periodic exchanges of information, the ESRB shall be obliged to inform the authority from which it obtained the information only once.
Article 15 11.

By way of derogation from paragraph 10, the ESRB shall not be obliged to inform the authority about the exchange of information where either of the following conditions is met:

(a) 

the information has been anonymised in such a manner that it no longer relates to any identified or identifiable natural person and that the financial institution or other legal entities are no longer identifiable; or

(b) 

the information has been modified, aggregated or treated by any other method of disclosure control to protect confidential information, including trade secrets, and to protect personal data through appropriate technical and organisational measures in accordance with Regulations (EU) 2016/679 ( 7 ) and (EU) 2018/1725 ( 8 ) of the European Parliament and of the Council.
Article 15 12.
Paragraphs 8 to 11 shall also apply to information that the ESRB has received from the other authorities and upon which the ESRB has subsequently performed quality checks or which the ESRB has otherwise processed.
Article 15 13.
To facilitate exchanges of information as referred to in paragraphs 8 to 12, the ESRB and the other authorities may enter into memoranda of understanding regarding the arrangements for such exchanges. The memoranda of understanding may also specify arrangements for the sharing of resources for the collection and processing of shared information. The Commission may, after consulting the ESRB and the other authorities, develop guidance on the main elements of such memoranda of understanding.
Article 15 14.
Paragraphs 8 to 13 shall be without prejudice to the protection of intellectual property rights and shall not prevent or restrict the exchange of information between the ESRB and the other authorities in accordance with other provisions of this Regulation or with other Union legislation.

In the event of a conflict between paragraphs 8 to 13 and other provisions of this Regulation or other Union legislation that govern the exchange of information between the ESRB and the other authorities, such other provisions shall prevail.
Article 15 15.

The ESRB may, at its own discretion, grant access to information obtained when carrying out its duties for re-use by financial institutions, researchers and other entities that have a legitimate interest in that information for research and innovation purposes, provided that the ESRB has ensured that all of the following conditions have been complied with:

(a) 

the necessary measures have been taken to anonymise the information in a manner that prevents individual financial institutions, entities, data subjects and Member States from being identified;

(b) 

the information has been modified, aggregated or treated by any other method of disclosure control to protect confidential information, including trade secrets, or content covered by intellectual property rights.

Information received from any authority shall be shared pursuant to the first subparagraph only with the consent of the authority that initially obtained that information.
Article 15 16.
By 11 November 2027, the ESRB shall report to the Commission on all legal obstacles in sectoral legislation that prevent it, in any way, from exchanging information with the other authorities or with other entities. The report may also address non-material, obsolete, duplicative or otherwise irrelevant reporting requirements. It may also include suggestions for improving consistency between reporting requirements for financial and non-financial entities. The report shall be updated on a regular basis, where necessary.

Taking into account the report referred to in the first subparagraph, the protection of intellectual property rights and the obligations of professional secrecy and data protection, the Commission shall, where appropriate, submit to the European Parliament and to the Council a legislative proposal to remove such legal obstacles in sectoral legislation, to foster the exchange of information between authorities and with other entities.
