Question

Are credit/financial institutions required to notify the NCA of the expected duration of the delay under Article 17(5) of MAR?

Answer

[ESMA70-145-111 MAR Q&A, Q&A 5.4] Yes. The credit/financial institutions notifying the NCA of their intention to resort to the financial stability delay are expected to provide their assessment on the expected length of the delay and the details of expected trigger events . If the NCA gives its consent to the delay further to its own assessment of the relevant conditions, credit/financial institutions should inform the NCA whenever they become aware of a new element or event that may affect the duration of the delay under Article 17(5) of MAR.
