Article 6 Information to be exchanged in relation to precautionary measures

Summary What does Article 6 of the RTS on competent authority information exchange say?

This article deals with the sharing of information between competent authorities specifically in the context of precautionary measures.

It connects directly to Article 102 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114, which governs the precautionary powers available to competent authorities, and establishes what information must be exchanged when those powers are being considered or exercised.

The article covers a broad range of regulated entities, from offerors and persons seeking admission to trading, through to issuers of asset-referenced tokens and e-money tokens, and crypto-asset service providers.

Important points:

Competent authorities are required to exchange information on suspected irregularities across the full spectrum of regulated crypto-asset entities when investigation, supervision, or enforcement makes it necessary.
Competent authorities are required to share details of any precautionary measures that are planned or already taken under Article 102(2) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114.
A catch-all provision requires the exchange of any other information needed to cooperate in the adoption of precautionary measures, ensuring the framework remains flexible.

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

Where necessary for the purpose of investigation, supervision and enforcement, competent authorities shall exchange information in relation to precautionary measures as referred to in Article 102 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114, including:
