(6)For the purposes of the functioning of ESAP, collection bodies should be designated to collect information from entities that is of relevance to financial services, capital markets and sustainability. In the absence of a collection body already established under Union law, Member States should retain flexibility in organising the collection of information in their jurisdiction, should designate at least one collection body, as defined in Regulation (EU) 2023/2859, to collect and store information, and should notify ESMA accordingly. For the purpose of making information accessible on ESAP in a cost-efficient manner, the collection, transmission and storage of information should be based, to the extent possible, on existing collection, transmission and storage procedures and infrastructure in place at the national level as well as those in place for the transmission of information from the collection bodies to ESMA.
