126. A comparative overview of the reporting requirements proposed by these Guidelines is provided in Table 5. This table includes and compares the scheduled reporting requirements for each category of CRA, "category 1" and "category 2" with a view to illustrating the areas where ESMA is introducing a distinction between the reporting requirements for "category 1" and "category 2" CRAs.

127. These scheduled reporting requirements will be supplemented by the ad-hoc reporting requirements outlined in Table 6 that are equally applicable to both categories of CRA. For these reporting requirements any notification should be made on an "as soon as possible" basis.
