ESMA issues a Final Report proposing to replace Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1437 with new RTS aligned with the European Single Access Point (ESAP) legislation. The updated standards repeal the obsolete EEAP rules and cross-reference existing ESAP Implementing Technical Standards to ensure legal certainty and streamline compliance for Officially Appointed Mechanisms. Following a 2025 consultation where all respondents agreed with the amendments, the draft RTS is submitted to the European Commission for adoption.
