According to Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 of 16 September 2009 (CRA Regulation) amended by Regulation (EU) No 513/2011 of 11 May 2011, 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. Until 1 July 2011 and for applications submitted before 7 September 2010, competent authorities of the Member States are in charge of the registration process. From 1 July 2011, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) will decide on applications for registration. Registration is granted 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 a list of credit rating agencies that have been registered. 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.
