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.
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.
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).
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).
