List of credit rating agencies registered in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (CRA Regulation)

(2011/C 148/02)

According to Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 of 16 September 2009 (CRA Regulation), credit rating agencies are legal persons whose occupation includes the issuing of credit ratings on a professional basis. Credit rating agencies established in the Community have to apply for registration pursuant to Article 14(1) in conjunction with Article 2(1) of the CRA Regulation. Registration is granted by the competent authorities of the home Member State if all the requirements set out in the CRA Regulation are fulfilled. The registration shall be effective for the entire territory of the Community. According to Article 18(3) of the CRA Regulation, the Commission shall publish in the Official Journal of the European Union and on its website a list of credit rating agencies that have been registered. That list is updated within 30 days after the competent authority of the home Member State has notified the Commission of the registration. Credit rating agencies established in a third country that have been certified according to Article 5 of the CRA Regulation shall also be published in that list.

A registration/certification according to the CRA Regulation does not automatically include the recognition as External Credit Assessment Institution (ECAI) according to Part 2 of Annex VI to Directive 2006/48/EC.

JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

of 17 December 2010

in Case E-5/10

Dr Joachim Kottke v Präsidial Anstalt and Sweetyle Stiftung

(Security for costs before national courts — Discrimination — Article 4 EEA — Justification)

(2011/C 148/06)

In Case E-5/10 between Dr Joachim Kottke and Präsidial Anstalt and Sweetyle Stiftung — REQUEST to the Court under Article 34 of the Agreement between the EFTA States on the Establishment of a Surveillance Authority and a Court of Justice by the Fürstliches Obergericht (Princely Court of Appeal), Liechtenstein, concerning the interpretation of Article 4 of the Agreement on the European Economic Area, the Court, composed of Carl Baudenbacher, President, Thorgeir Örlygsson (Judge-Rapporteur) and Henrik Bull, Judges, gave judgment on 17 December 2010, the operative part of which is as follows:

| 1. | A provision of national law pursuant to which non-resident plaintiffs in civil litigation must provide security for costs of court proceedings, while resident plaintiffs are not obliged to provide such security, entails indirect discrimination within the meaning of Article 4 EEA. |
| --- | --- |

1.

A provision of national law pursuant to which non-resident plaintiffs in civil litigation must provide security for costs of court proceedings, while resident plaintiffs are not obliged to provide such security, entails indirect discrimination within the meaning of Article 4 EEA.

| 2. | In order for such a discrimination to be justified on the basis of public interest objectives, the provision of national law must be necessary and not excessive in attaining them. |
| --- | --- |

2.

In order for such a discrimination to be justified on the basis of public interest objectives, the provision of national law must be necessary and not excessive in attaining them.

| 3. | The latter condition is not met in cases where the State in which the plaintiff is resident allows for the enforcement of a costs award, whether on the basis of treaty obligations or unilaterally. |
| --- | --- |

3.

The latter condition is not met in cases where the State in which the plaintiff is resident allows for the enforcement of a costs award, whether on the basis of treaty obligations or unilaterally.

| 4. | In other cases, too, provision of security may not be required in a manner disproportionately affecting the interests of a non-resident plaintiff in being able to commence legal proceedings. This means in particular that security may not be required for an amount which is out of proportion to the costs likely to be incurred by the defendant or unreasonably high or which must be posted within a very short period of time. The form of security required, the situation giving rise to its imposition and whether or not the plaintiff is entitled to legal aid also constitute important factors. |
