THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Directive (EU) 2019/2034 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 November 2019 on the prudential supervision of investment firms and amending Directives 2002/87/EC, 2009/65/EC, 2011/61/EU, 2013/36/EU, 2014/59/EU and 2014/65/EU (1), and in particular Article 13(8), second subparagraph, thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | An efficient and timely cooperation between competent authorities of home and host Member States requires, within the respective supervisory competences of those authorities, an adequate two-way information exchange. To support this objective, standard forms, templates and operating procedures, including timelines, should be established for the exchange of information.

To ensure an efficient transmission of information to the relevant contact persons within the competent authorities as well as the confidentiality of the information, the competent authorities should establish, share and regularly update lists of contact persons.

| (3) | In order to ensure the effectiveness of the supervision of investment firms on a cross-border basis, an adequate protection of clients and markets as well as prompt corrective actions, competent authorities of home and host Member States should inform each other without undue delay about any potential situation affecting the financial stability or the functioning of a branch and provide all essential and relevant information regarding that situation. |

In order to ensure the effectiveness of the supervision of investment firms on a cross-border basis, an adequate protection of clients and markets as well as prompt corrective actions, competent authorities of home and host Member States should inform each other without undue delay about any potential situation affecting the financial stability or the functioning of a branch and provide all essential and relevant information regarding that situation.

| (4) | Requirements on the type and nature of the information to be exchanged by competent authorities of home and host Member States are set out in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/1117 (2). The establishment of standard forms, templates and procedures for such information sharing requirements should therefore follow the scope and approach set out by that Delegated Regulation and take account of the standard forms, templates and procedures that are already implemented through other mechanisms such as those set out in accordance with Articles 34 and 35 of Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), thereby avoiding duplication. |

While the latter provides the key elements that should be subject to an exchange of information between competent authorities, it does not aim to restrict the scope of such exchange of information in the context of promoting a broad cooperation between competent authorities on a cross-border basis. |
