Proposal for a regulation
Recital 25

(25) It is appropriate that financial institutions and financial market participants contribute to the financing of the activities of the ESAs, because the overall objective of the activities of the ESAs is to contribute to financial stability and, through the avoidance of distortions of competition, the proper operation of the single market. The activities of the ESAs benefit all financial institutions and financial market participants, whether or not they operate across borders. The ESAs contribute to them conducting their business in a stable environment and on a level playing field. Financial institutions and financial market participants that are not directly supervised by the ESA’s should therefore also contribute to the funding of those activities of the ESAs from which they benefit. In addition, the ESAs should however also receive fees paid by the financial institutions and financial market participants that are directly supervised by them. The fees paid by financial institutions that are intended as a contribution to the financing of the activities of the ESAs should be collected by competent authorities and redirected to the ESAs. This shall be done in a transparent manner and in accordance with specially developed methodologies which determine the contribution of each financial institution for this purpose.
