Technical and organisational requirements and responsibility for reporting data
Article 11
1. In order to ensure efficient, effective and safe exchange and handling of information, the Agency shall, after consulting relevant parties, develop technical and organisational requirements for submitting data. The Agency shall consult relevant parties on material updates of these requirements. The requirements shall: (a) ensure the security, confidentiality and completeness of information, (b) enable the identification and correction of errors in data reports, (c) enable the authentication of the source of information, (d) ensure business continuity. The Agency shall assess whether reporting parties comply with the requirements. Reporting parties who comply with the requirements shall be registered by the Agency. For entities listed under Article 6(4) the requirements listed in the second subparagraph shall be considered as fulfilled. 2. Persons required to report data referred to in Articles 6, 8 and 9 shall have responsibility for the completeness, accuracy and timely submission of data to the Agency and, where required so, to national regulatory authorities. Where a person referred to in the first subparagraph reports those data through a third party the person shall not be responsible for failures in the completeness, accuracy or timely submission of the data which are attributable to the third party. In those cases the third party shall be responsible for those failures, without prejudice to Articles 4 and 18 of Regulation (EC) No 543/2013 on submission of data in electricity markets. Persons referred to in the first subparagraph shall nevertheless take reasonable steps to verify the completeness, accuracy and timeliness of the data which they submit through third parties.
