Where two or more competent authorities of a collaboration platform disagree about the procedure or content of an action to be taken, or inaction, ESMA may, at the request of any relevant competent authority, assist the competent authorities in reaching an agreement in accordance with Article 19(1), first subparagraph, of Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010.
