Article 9 Reporting for the purpose of ESMA supervision

1. As referred to in Article 21(4)(e) of Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009, credit rating agencies shall report data on all credit ratings and rating outlooks issued or endorsed, or issued in a third country and not endorsed as referred to in Article 1(5), including information on all entities or debt instruments submitted for their initial review or for preliminary rating, as referred to in point 6 of Part I of Section D of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009.

2. For those credit ratings and rating outlooks to which Article 8 does not apply, credit rating agencies shall report rating data relating to the preceding calendar month on a monthly basis.

3. A credit rating agency that has fewer than 50 employees and that is not part of a group of credit rating agencies may provide the rating data referred to in paragraph 2 every two months, unless ESMA requires monthly reporting in view of the nature, complexity and range of issues of its credit ratings. That rating data shall refer to the preceding two calendar months.
