Article 10 Unsolicited provision of information

Summary What does Article 10 of the ITS on competent authority information exchange say?

This article addresses the proactive, unsolicited sharing of information between competent authorities.

Unlike the preceding articles, which deal with formal requests for cooperation or exchange of information, Article 10 operates independently of any request — it places a duty on competent authorities to voluntarily transmit information to a peer authority whenever they believe that information would assist the other in carrying out its duties under Regulation (EU) 2023/1114.

Important points:

Competent authorities are required to proactively share information with another competent authority without waiting to be asked, where they believe it would assist that authority in fulfilling its duties.
Transmission must be made in writing, by post or electronic means, without undue delay, and using the form set out in Annex IV.
The transmitting competent authority must specify the legal basis for providing the information.

Springlex's summary of the article, a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.

Where a competent authority has information that it believes would assist another competent authority for the purposes of carrying out its duties under Regulation (EU) 2023/1114, it shall transmit that information in writing by post or electronic means to the other competent authority without undue delay, using the form set out in Annex IV, and specify the legal basis for the provision of the information.
