The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has published a template for central securities depository (CSD) notifications under the Regulation on improving securities settlement and regulating CSDs (CSDR). The template comprises of three tables:
- EU CSDs authorised under Article 16 or Article 54 of the CSDR: general information;
- EU CSDs authorised under Article 16 or Article 54 of the CSDR: additional information on each CSD;
- Entities allowed to record book entries into securities accounts maintained by CSDs (Article 31 of the CSDR);
National competent authorities must complete the template with the requested information, to enable ESMA to meet its CSD register publication obligations under Articles 21 and 58 of the CSDR.
