Artikel 144 Ändring av förordning (EU) nr 1093/2010

This is a technical amendment article that modifies an existing piece of EU legislation rather than creating new standalone obligations.

Specifically, it amends the founding regulation of the European Banking Authority (EBA) — Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 — by updating the list of legal acts within which EBA is empowered to operate.

The key change is the addition of this regulation (MiCA, Regulation (EU) 2023/1114) to EBA's formal scope of action, ensuring that EBA has a clear legal basis to exercise its powers in relation to crypto-assets, particularly as they concern credit and financial institutions and their supervisors.

Important points:

• EBA's mandate is formally extended to cover MiCA, meaning EBA now has explicit authority to act within the scope of crypto-asset markets regulation.
• This amendment connects directly to the supervisory responsibilities assigned to EBA elsewhere in MiCA, such as oversight of issuers of significant asset-referenced tokens and significant e-money tokens.
• The scope of EBA's action under the updated provision applies to the extent that the listed acts concern credit and financial institutions and the competent authorities that supervise them.
