(1) Regulation (EU) No 2024/2987 of the European Parliament and of the Council introduced into Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 changes to the functioning and management of CCP colleges. In particular, a new co-chair has been introduced, in addition to the CCP’s competent authority, as being any of the independent members of the CCP Supervisory Committee. It is therefore necessary to reflect those changes in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 876/2013. 

(2) Without prejudice to the ultimate responsibility of the CCP’s competent authority and to further enhance supervisory convergence and the consistent functioning of all CCP colleges, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) should coordinate the functioning of the colleges and should ensure that each college performs its tasks and achieves its objectives in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 648/2012. To that aim, and with the objective of converging supervisory best practices, the co-chairs of the CCP college should discuss the implementation of the annual supervisory priorities referred to in Article 24a(7), point (ba), of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012. 

(3) In light of the amendments to Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, the non-exhaustive list of information items to be shared with the college should be updated.

(4) To allow for an efficient and timely flow of information between members of the college, the CCP’s competent authority and members of the college should circulate information through the central database provided by Article 17c of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012. 

(5) Delegated Regulation (EU) No 876/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly. 

(6) This Regulation is based on draft regulatory technical standards submitted to the Commission by ESMA following consultation of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB). 

(7) Since the amendments are limited in scope and concern only CCP’s national competent authorities without imposing any additional requirements on market participants and to facilitate as soon as possible the adjustment of CCP colleges to the new provisions of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council, ESMA has considered that it is highly disproportionate to the scope and impact of the regulatory technical standards to conduct a public consultation. However, ESMA has consulted the Securities and Markets Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of that Regulation, the relevant CCP’s national competent authorities and the ESCB,
