Dear European Central Bank,

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as set forth by Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information regarding all the equivalence decisions rendered by the European Commission and/or European Parliament within the European Central Bank’s remit:

- all technical reports and/or documents prepared by the European Central Bank and issued to support the decisions taken by the European Commission and/or European Parliament;
- all documents related to the equivalence decisions in which the European Central Bank has provided assistance, including minutes of meetings held by the ESFS regulators, the European Commission, and/or the European Parliament;
- the timeframes comprising the receipt of requests for technical analysis and the issuance of the respective technical reports to support the aforementioned decisions taken by the European Commission and/or European Parliament; and
- all correspondence and other kinds of communication, including attachments (such as emails, letters, and/or telephone call notes), between the regulators (including overseas regulators of the third countries for which the equivalence decisions were rendered), other organizations, and the European Commission/European Parliament with respect to the aforementioned equivalence decisions.

The aim is to better understand how the ESFS regulators have engaged with equivalence decisions; the procedural steps that have been taken prior to an equivalence decision being rendered; and, the time each step in the process to reach a decision takes.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any doubts or questions in regards to this request.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Pedro Carvalho
