On 19 February 2025, there was published an information note regarding the Council’s position in view of the adoption of the proposal for a Regulation amending Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 as regards the scope of the rules for benchmarks, the use in the Union of benchmarks provided by an administrator located in a third country, and certain reporting requirements.

Delegations were informed of a letter from the Chair of the European Parliament Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (Chair) which noted that at a meeting on December 2024 COREPER decided to accept the outcome of the interinstitutional negotiations and that should the Council formally transmit to the European Parliament the proposed Regulation in the form set out in the annex the Chair would recommend to the Plenary that the Council’s position be accepted without amendment, subject to legal-linguistic verification at the European Parliament’s second reading.
