26/02/2024 (Agence Europe) – On Thursday 22 February, the European Commission adopted two delegated acts on the ‘DORA’ Regulation on the operational resilience of the financial sector to online risks (see EUROPE 13061/6). The text lays down uniform requirements for the security of financial institutions’ networks and information systems. The delegated acts proposed by the Commission must specify certain criteria and fees relating to critical third-party service providers. On Thursday, the Commission also adopted four delegated acts on the MiCA Regulation governing the European crypto-asset market (see EUROPE 12984/3) in order to specify certain criteria for classifying referenced digital assets and to specify the supervisory measures and procedures of the European Banking Authority (EBA) in the event of penalty payments. The European Parliament and the EU Council have three months in which to raise objections to these delegated acts. (BD)
