European Commission - Market abuse: consultation on setting the scope of an order data exchange mechanism and clarifying market manipulation indicators

ESMA - Joint ESAs Report in response to the European Commission consultation pursuant to Article 58(3) of DORA

The report presents the joint response of the European Supervisory Authorities (EBA, EIOPA and ESMA) to the European Commission’s request under Article 58(3) of Regulation (EU) 2022/2554 (DORA) to assess whether statutory auditors and audit firms should be subject to strengthened digital operational resilience requirements by means of its inclusion in the scope of DORA or by means of amendments to Directive 2006/43/EC. The report concludes with the ESAs opinion that the identified implications of the application of DORA to the statutory auditors and audit firms appear to outweigh the potential benefits. The ESAs therefore consider that including statutory auditors and audit firms within DORA’s scope is not warranted at this stage

AMLA - Consultation Paper: Draft Implementing Technical Standards on cooperation within the AML/CFT supervisory system for the purposes of direct supervision

Article 15(3) of the AMLAR requires AMLA to develop implementing technical standards (‘ITS’) that specify how AMLA and financial supervisors cooperate in the context of the direct supervision. The draft ITS plays a pivotal role in ensuring continuity and consistency in AML/CFT supervision across the EU. It addresses the operational questions that arise when obliged entities transition between direct supervision by AMLA and their respective national financial supervisors. It also specifies how the selection process will be carried out, from data collection to publication of the list of selected obliged entities for direct supervision. By adopting a balanced approach that ensures legal certainty while allowing flexibility to ensure a proportionate approach, efficient processes and effective outcomes, the draft ITS aim to provide a clear and adaptable framework for the selection and supervision of obliged entities. The consultation runs until 27 January 2026

AMLA - Final Report - Draft Regulatory Technical Standards on the assessment of the inherent and residual risk profile of obliged entities

Article 40(2) of Directive (EU) 2024/1640 (AMLD) mandates AMLA to develop RTS to define a common methodology that supervisors will use to assess the level of money laundering and terrorist financing (ML/TF) risk to which obliged entities are exposed. This methodology defines how supervisors classify inherent and residual risk profiles and determines how often these risk profiles must be reviewed. Supervisory approaches to entity-level ML/TF risk assessment are currently fragmented.To address this, the draft RTS introduces a risk-based methodology that is fully harmonised. Once applied, this methodology will inform individual supervisors’ supervisory strategies and inspection plans and create a shared understanding of the impact different risk factors have on obliged entities’ overall risk exposure. The draft RTS will be submitted to the European Commission for adoption before being published in the Official Journal of the European Union

AMLA - Final Report - Draft Regulatory Technical Standards on the risk assessment for the purpose of selection of credit institutions, financial institutions and groups of credit and financial institutions for direct supervision

AMLA will determine which entities are eligible to be directly supervised based on geographic criteria. To this effect, the draft RTS introduces thresholds to establish whether an obliged entity’s operations under the freedom to provide services are material. The draft RTS also sets out the risk assessment methodology that AMLA will use to decide which eligible obliged entities it will supervise directly. This methodology is aligned with the methodology supervisors will use to assess entity-level money laundering and terrorist financing risk. Finally, this draft RTS includes a group-wide risk scoring method that is based on a weighted average of entity-level residual risk scores. This method ensures that high-risk entities and significant operations are appropriately reflected in the group’s risk score. The draft RTS will be submitted to the Commission for adoption before being published in the Official Journal of the European Union
