EACT Comment on ESMA Call for Evidence

The EACT has commented on ESMA's call for evidence on competition, choice and conflicts of interest in the CRA industry. The EACT response highlights that we do not see a need to review the legislation currently in place, as the regulation on CRAs has gone through an extensive review in the recent years. We also underline that if reviewed, the requirements for mandatory rotation of CRAs should not be extended and that there should not be a forced change from the 'issuer pays' model.
