Public consultation on the ECB’s draft decision on the procedure and conditions for exercise by a competent authority of certain powers in relation to the oversight of SIPS
This consultation gives interested parties the opportunity to comment on the ECB’s draft decision on the procedure and conditions for exercise by a competent authority of certain powers in relation to the oversight of systemically important payment systems (SIPS).
That decision has been drafted on the basis of Article 21(1) of Regulation (EU) No 795/2014 (“the SIPS Regulation”) as amended by Regulation (EU) 2017/2094, which empowers a competent authority to:
- obtain information and documents from a SIPS operator;
- require a SIPS operator to appoint an independent expert to perform an investigation or independent review on the operation of the SIPS;
- conduct on-site inspections or delegate the carrying-out thereof.
Article 21(2), in turn, requires the ECB to “adopt a decision on the procedure and conditions for exercising the powers referred to in paragraph 1”.
