(1)Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/1645 ² aims to ensure that ESMA receives uniform and consistent information from third-country benchmark administrators that apply for recognition in the Union. Regulation (EU) 2019/2175 of the European Parliament and of the Council ³ deleted from Article 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 the reference to the Member State of reference, and transferred the competence of recognising and supervising third-country benchmark administrators from national competent authorities to the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA). To take into account those changes, it is necessary to amend Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/1645.
