+Article 17 4.

Article 17 4.

The CCP’s competent authority shall, after duly considering the opinions of ESMA and of the college provided for in paragraphs 3 and 3a of this Article, including any conditions or recommendations contained therein, decide to grant authorisation as referred to in Article 14 and Article 15(1), second subparagraph, only where it is fully satisfied that the applicant CCP:

(a) 

complies with the requirements laid down in this Regulation, including, where applicable, for the provision of clearing services or activities for non-financial instruments; and

(b) 

is notified as a system pursuant to Directive 98/26/EC.

Where a CCP applies for an extension of an existing authorisation pursuant to Article 15, ESMA, the college referred to in Article 18 and the CCP’s competent authority may rely on part of the assessment previously made pursuant to this Article to the extent that the application for extension will not result in a change or otherwise affect the previous assessment for that part. The CCP shall confirm to the CCP’s competent authority that there is no change to the underlying facts of that part of the assessment.

The applicant CCP shall not be authorised where:

(a) 

the CCP’s competent authority has decided not to grant the authorisation; or

(b) 

all members of the college referred to in Article 18, excluding the authorities of the Member State where the applicant CCP is established, reach a joint opinion by mutual agreement, pursuant to Article 19(1), that the applicant CCP is not to be authorised.

The joint opinion referred to in the third subparagraph, point (b), of this paragraph, shall state in writing the full and detailed reasons why the college referred to in Article 18 considers that the requirements laid down in this Regulation or in other Union law are not met.

Where such a joint opinion has not been reached by mutual agreement and a majority of two-thirds of the members of the college referred to in Article 18 have expressed a negative opinion, any of the competent authorities concerned, based on that majority, may, within 30 calendar days of the adoption of that negative opinion, refer the matter to ESMA in accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010.

The decision to refer the matter to ESMA shall state in writing the full and detailed reasons for which the relevant members of the college referred to in Article 18 consider that the requirements laid down in this Regulation or other Union law are not met. In that case, the CCP’s competent authority shall defer its decision on authorisation and await any decision on authorisation that ESMA may take in accordance with Article 19(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010. The CCP’s competent authority shall take its decision in conformity with ESMA’s decision. The matter shall not be referred to ESMA after the end of the 30-day period referred to in the fifth subparagraph of this paragraph.

Where all members of the college referred to in Article 18, excluding the authorities of the Member State where the applicant CCP is established, reach a joint opinion by mutual agreement, pursuant to Article 19(1), that the applicant CCP is not to be authorised, the CCP’s competent authority may refer the matter to ESMA in accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010.

The competent authority of the Member State where the CCP is established shall transmit the decision to the other competent authorities concerned.

The competent authority shall, without undue delay after taking a decision whether to grant or refuse authorisation under paragraph 3c, inform the applicant CCP in writing of its decision via the central database, together with a fully reasoned explanation.
