ESMA's Chair delegates to the heads of legal and enforcement the decision to close non-complex requests to investigate breaches of Union law (BUL) by national authorities. The decision defines what counts as non-complex, such as allegations contradicted by the evidence or repeated complaints.
Who is affected
Complainants filing BUL requests with ESMA and the national authorities concerned.
Deadlines
In force from the day after adoption (9 October 2026).
Plain-language version
ESMA, the EU's stock market watchdog, is speeding up how it handles complaints that national supervisors are not applying EU law properly. Simple cases, such as repeat complaints or claims contradicted by the evidence, can now be closed directly by its legal and enforcement heads without going to the chair. The change has applied since October 2026.
