The European Securities and Markets Authority issued this final report to establish Regulatory Technical Standards requiring third-country Central Securities Depositories to notify specific operational data when providing services for EU-constituted financial instruments. ESMA streamlined the notification requirements by removing rigid timing specifications and significantly reducing the reporting burden through aggregated data options for non-EU entities. The finalized standards mandate the disclosure of participant and issuer details for notary and maintenance services, alongside granular settlement instruction data, with the draft RTS now submitted to the European Commission for endorsement.
