The European Commission has adopted a delegated regulation amending Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/805 to establish supervisory fees for EU benchmark administrators that endorse third-country benchmarks. The amendment follows the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2025/914, which amended the Benchmarks Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/1011) by expanding the European Securities and Markets Authority’s (ESMA’s) supervisory mandate to include this new category of administrators. The updated rules align the fee framework for these administrators with that applicable to recognised third-country administrators, ensuring consistency and proportionality. They introduce fixed fees for administrators endorsing non-significant benchmarks, reducing reporting obligations for smaller entities. The regulation should apply urgently to prevent legal uncertainty before the 31 December 2025 transitional deadline and will enter into force the day after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
