(2)The criteria that a competent authority is required to take into account should take into consideration the nature of the provisions under Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 that administrators of significant benchmarks may choose not to apply. Administrators of significant benchmarks may choose not to apply certain provisions that require them to put in place organisational measures to reduce the risk of conflicts of interest resulting from their employees' involvement in the provision of the benchmark. When taking into account the criteria specified in points (a), (c) and (i) of Article 25(3) of that Regulation, competent authorities should therefore also consider whether other adequate means are in place to protect the benchmark's integrity, instead of the organisational measures that are required by those provisions.
