Amendment 158 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 2
(2) The use of ICT has in the last decades gained a pivotal role in finance, assuming today critical relevance in the operation of typical daily functions of all financial entities. Digitalisation covers, for instance, payments, which have increasingly moved from cash and paper- based methods to the use of digital solutions, as well as securities clearing and settlement, electronic and algorithmic trading, lending and funding operations, peer-to-peer finance, credit rating, insurance underwriting, claim management and back-office operations. The insurance sector has also been transformed by the use of ICT technology, from the emergence of digital insurance intermediaries operating with InsurTech to digital insurance underwriting and contract distributions. Finance has not only become largely digital throughout the whole sector, but digitalisation has also deepened interconnections and dependencies within the financial sector and with third-party infrastructure and service providers.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 58
(58) The requirement of legal incorporationto establish a subsidiary in the Union ofor ICT third- party service providers which have been designated as critical does not amount to data localisation since this Regulation does not entail any further requirement on data storage or processing to be undertaken in Union. The requirement to have a subsidiary in the Union is intended to provide a contact point between the ICT third-party service provider, on the one hand, and the ESAs and Joint Oversight Executive Body, on the other, and to ensure that the Joint Oversight Executive Body is able to carry out its duties and exercise its powers of oversight and enforcement as foreseen under this Regulation.

Amendment 235 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 69 – point 1
Technical standards should ensure the consistent harmonisation of the requirements laid down in this Regulation. As bodies with highly specialised expertise, the ESAs should be mandated to develop draft regulatory technical standards which do not involve policy choices, for submission to the Commission. Regulatory technical standards should be developed in the areas of ICT risk management, reporting, testing and key requirements for a sound monitoring of ICT third-party risk. When developing draft regulatory technical standards, the ESAs should take due consideration of their mandate in relation to proportionality aspects, and seek advice from their respective Advisory Committees on Proportionality, in particular in relation to the application of the DORA framework to SMEs and mid-caps.
