COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) No 1003/2013
of 12 July 2013
supplementing Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to fees charged by the European Securities and Markets Authority to trade repositories
(Text with EEA relevance)
CHAPTER I
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Article 1
Subject matter
This Regulation lays down rules on the fees that the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) shall charge trade repositories for their registration, supervision and recognition.
Article 2
Recovery of supervisory costs in full
The fees charged to trade repositories shall cover:
(a) all costs relating to the registration and supervision of trade repositories by ESMA in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, including those costs resulting from the recognition of trade repositories;
(b) all costs for the reimbursement of competent authorities that have carried out work pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, in particular as a result of any delegation of tasks in accordance with Article 74 of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012.
Article 3
Applicable turnover
1. The applicable turnover of a trade repository for a given financial year (n) shall be the sum of one third of each of the following:
(a) the revenues generated from the core functions of centrally collecting and maintaining records of derivatives of the trade repository on the basis of the audited accounts of the previous year (n-1), divided by the total revenues generated from the core functions of centrally collecting and maintaining records of derivatives of all registered trade repositories during the previous year (n-1);
(b) the number of trades reported to the trade repository during the previous year (n-1), divided by the total number of trades reported to all registered trade repositories during the previous year (n-1);
(c) the number of recorded outstanding trades on 31 December of the previous year (n-1), divided by the total number of recorded outstanding trades on 31 December of the previous year (n-1) in all registered trade repositories.
The applicable turnover of a given trade repository (‘TRi’ in the formula below) as referred to in the first subparagraph shall be calculated as follows:
2. Where the trade repository did not operate during the full year (n-1), the applicable turnover shall be estimated according to the formula set out in paragraph 1 by extrapolating for the trade repository, and for each of the elements referred to in points (a), (b) and (c) of paragraph 1, the values calculated for the number of months during which the trade repository operated in year (n-1) to the whole year (n-1).
Article 4
Adjustment of fees
1. Fees charged to trade repositories shall be set at a level such as to avoid a significant accumulation of deficit or surplus.
Where there is a recurrent significant surplus or deficit, the Commission shall revise the level of fees.
2. Where the fees charged to trade repositories in year (n) are insufficient to cover ESMA’s total necessary expenditure for registration, supervision and recognition of trade repositories, ESMA shall increase in year (n+1) the supervisory fees to be charged to the trade repositories that were registered during the full year (n) and are still registered in year (n+1) by the necessary amount.
3. The adjustment of fees for deficits covered by paragraph 2 shall be calculated for each individual trade repository in proportion to its applicable turnover in year (n).
CHAPTER II
FEES Article 5
Types of fees
1. Trade repositories established in the Union that apply for registration in accordance with Article 55(1) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 shall be charged the following types of fees:
(a) registration fees according to Article 6;
(b) annual supervisory fees according to Article 7.
2. Trade repositories established in third countries that apply for recognition in accordance with Article 77(1) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 shall be charged the following types of fees:
(a) recognition fees according to Article 8(1);
(b) annual supervisory fees for recognised trade repositories according to Article 8(2).
Article 6
Registration fee
1. The registration fee to be paid by individual applicant trade repositories shall be calculated according to the supervisory effort necessary for the assessment and examination of the application, as well as the expected total turnover of the trade repository as specified in paragraphs 2 to 6.
2. For the calculation of the registration fee, the following activities shall be taken into consideration:
(a) the provision by the trade repository of ancillary services such as trade confirmation, trade matching, credit event servicing, portfolio confirmation or portfolio compression services;
(b) the provision of repository services in three or more classes of derivatives by the trade repository.
3. For the purposes of paragraph 2, a trade repository shall be deemed to offer ancillary services in any of the following situations:
(a) where it provides direct ancillary services;
(b) where an entity belonging to the same group as the trade repository provides indirect ancillary services;
(c) where an entity with which the trade repository has concluded an agreement in the context of the trading or post-trading chain or business line to cooperate in the provision of services provides the ancillary services.
4. Where a trade repository does not engage in either of the activities set out in paragraph 2, the trade repository concerned is deemed to have a low expected total turnover and shall pay a registration fee of EUR 45 000 .
5. Where a trade repository engages in one of the two activities set out in paragraph 2, the trade repository is deemed to have a medium expected total turnover and shall pay a registration fee of EUR 65 000 .
6. Where a trade repository engages in both activities set out in paragraph 2, the trade repository is deemed to have a high expected total turnover and shall pay a registration fee of EUR 100 000 .
7. In case of a material change in the provision of services, as a consequence of which the trade repository owes a higher registration fee pursuant to paragraphs 4, 5 and 6 than the registration fee paid initially, the trade repository shall be charged the difference between the initially paid registration fee and the higher applicable registration fee resulting from that material change.
Article 7
Annual supervisory fee for registered trade repositories
1. A registered trade repository shall be charged an annual supervisory fee.
2. The total annual supervisory fee for a given financial year (n) shall be calculated as follows:
(a) the basis for the calculation of the total annual supervisory fee for a given financial year (n) shall be the estimate of expenditure relating to the supervision of trade repositories as included in the ESMA’s budget for that year, set out and approved in accordance with Article 63 of Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010;
(b) the total annual supervisory fee for a given financial year (n) shall be calculated by deducting the following from the estimate of expenditure according to point (a):
(i) the total registration fees paid by trade repositories in accordance with Article 6 in a given financial year (n) and the additional registration fees paid in a given financial year (n) by already registered trade repositories in case a material change to their registration takes place as referred to in Article 6(7);
(ii) the total recognition fees paid by third country trade repositories in accordance with Article 8 that given financial year (n);
(iii)
the initial supervisory fee to be paid by trade repositories in a given financial year (n) pursuant to paragraph 4;
(c) a registered trade repository shall pay an annual supervisory fee resulting from dividing the total annual supervisory fee calculated pursuant to point (b) between all trade repositories registered in year n-1, in proportion to the ratio of the trade repository’s applicable turnover to the total applicable turnover of all registered trade repositories calculated pursuant to Article 3(1), and adjusted pursuant to paragraphs 2 and 3 of Article 4.
3. In no case shall the trade repository pay an annual supervisory fee of less than EUR 30 000 .
4. By way of derogation from paragraphs 2 and 3, a registered trade repository shall pay, in the year of its registration, an initial supervisory fee equal to the lower of the following:
(a) the registration fee due in accordance with Article 6;
(b) the registration fee due in accordance with Article 6 multiplied by the ratio between the working days from its date of registration until the end of the year and 60 working days.
This calculation shall be made as follows:
Article 8
Fee for recognition of third country trade repositories
1. A trade repository applying for recognition shall pay an application fee calculated as the sum of the following:
(a) EUR 20 000 ;
(b) the amount resulting from dividing EUR 35 000 among the total number of trade repositories from the same third country that are either recognised by ESMA, or that have applied for recognition but have not been yet recognised.
2. A trade repository recognised in accordance with Article 77(1) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 shall pay an annual supervisory fee of EUR 5 000 .
