Artikel 129 Tystnadsplikt

Summary What does Article 129 of the MiCA regulation say?

This brief article establishes the professional secrecy obligation as it applies to EBA in the context of its supervisory responsibilities under this regulation.

It extends the obligation broadly, covering not just current EBA staff but also former staff and any third parties to whom EBA has delegated tasks.

It sits within the wider framework governing EBA's supervisory powers over issuers of significant asset-referenced tokens and significant e-money tokens, complementing the confidentiality provisions found in Article 100 which applies to competent authorities more generally.

Important points:

EBA, all current and former EBA staff, and all persons to whom EBA has delegated tasks (including contracted auditors and experts) are bound by professional secrecy.
The scope of this obligation is notably wide, capturing the full chain of individuals involved in EBA's supervisory activities.
This obligation mirrors the confidentiality requirements placed on competent authorities elsewhere in the regulation, ensuring consistent standards across all supervisory actors.
