Summary What does Article 2 of the ITS on cooperation for the purposes of direct supervision say?

This article establishes the infrastructure requirements for how information must flow between financial supervisors and the Authority.

It is the procedural backbone that supports the broader cooperation framework set out in Article 1, specifying that all relevant information — including that needed for the selection process, transfer of supervisory tasks and powers, and the periodic assessment — must travel through a secured channel.

Crucially, it is the Authority's responsibility to set up and provide this secured channel to financial supervisors, not the other way around.

Important points:

All information related to the selection process, transfer of supervisory tasks, and periodic assessment must be submitted to the Authority via a secured channel.
The Authority is required to establish and provide the secured channel to financial supervisors, as well as share the specific communication channel to be used for the periodic assessment under Article 12 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1620.
The obligation to build and maintain the communication infrastructure rests entirely with the Authority.
