(6)In order to allow ESMA to react promptly in the case of actual or potential non-compliance with Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009, the rating information reported by registered and certified credit rating agencies should enable ESMA to closely supervise the conduct and activities of credit rating agencies. Rating data should therefore be reported to ESMA on a monthly basis. However, in order to ensure proportionality, credit rating agencies that have fewer than 50 employees and that are not part of a group should be able to submit rating data every two months. ESMA should still be able to require those credit ratings agencies to carry out reporting on a monthly basis, in the light of the number and type of their ratings, including the complexity of the credit analysis, the relevance of the rated instruments or issuers, and the eligibility of the ratings to be used for regulatory purposes.
