(9)In light of the principle of proportionality, national central banks (NCBs) should be able to grant derogations to reporting agents in respect of the statistical reporting requirements set out in this Regulation under specific conditions, where the granting of such derogations does not impede the ESCB from effectively fulfilling its tasks. In addition, NCBs should have the power to collect the necessary statistical information on payments via the relevant national competent authority (NCA) that already collects data from reporting agents, in accordance with local cooperation arrangements. Equally, it should be possible for the confidential statistical information on fraud collected under this Regulation to be transmitted to an NCA to facilitate the data collection under Directive (EU) 2015/2366, provided that the rules for the protection and use of confidential statistical information in Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 are met.
