The European Securities and Markets Authority has published
technical advice on revisions to Delegated Regulation (EU) 447/2012 and Annex I of the CRA Regulation. The proposed amendments are intended to ensure the better traceability on the incorporation of ESG factors in credit rating methodologies and better disclosure of the relevance of ESG factors to individual credit rating actions. The proposals address the need to update several provisions of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 447/2012 to reflect ESMA's supervisory observations. The technical advice includes ESMA's final proposals following the conclusion of the consultation conducted by ESMA and explains how this feedback has been considered in developing the final technical advice. In addition, Annex III provides ESMA's proposed amendments to Delegated Regulation (EU) No 447/2012 and Annex I of the CRA Regulation.
