Article 127 Communication d’informations en provenance de pays tiers


Summary What does Article 127 of the MiCA regulation say?

This article governs how EBA can handle and disclose information it has received from supervisory authorities outside the EU.

The core rule is that EBA cannot freely share such information — it must first have the express agreement of the third-country authority that originally provided it, and any disclosure must stay within the purposes for which that agreement was granted.

The article then carves out an important exception to this consent requirement, which applies when the information is being requested by other EU supervisory authorities for their own tasks, or by courts handling criminal proceedings.

Important points:

  • EBA may only disclose information received from third-country supervisory authorities if express agreement has been obtained from the authority that transmitted it.
  • Any disclosure must be limited to the purposes for which the third-country authority gave its agreement, unless the disclosure is necessary for judicial proceedings.
  • The express agreement requirement does not apply when other EU supervisory authorities need the information to fulfil their tasks, or when courts require it for investigations or proceedings related to criminal penalties.

Springlex's summary of the article, a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.

    1. L’ABE ne peut communiquer les informations qu’elle a reçues des autorités de surveillance d’un pays tiers que dans les cas où l’ABE ou l’autorité compétente qui a communiqué ces informations à l’ABE a obtenu le consentement exprès de l’autorité de surveillance du pays tiers qui a communiqué ces informations et, le cas échéant, si les informations ne sont communiquées qu’aux seules fins pour lesquelles cette autorité de surveillance a donné son accord, ou si cette communication est nécessaire dans le cadre de procédures judiciaires.

    1. L’exigence de consentement exprès visée au paragraphe 1 ne s’applique pas aux autres autorités de surveillance de l’Union lorsque les informations qu’elles demandent sont nécessaires à l’accomplissement de leurs tâches, ni aux juridictions lorsque les informations qu’elles demandent sont nécessaires aux fins d’enquêtes ou de procédures portant sur des infractions faisant l’objet de sanctions pénales.
