Technical standards: Template for third-country cooperation (Reg 596/2014)

This regulation establishes a standardized template for cooperation agreements between the European Union and non-EU countries. It aims to ensure consistent supervision of securities markets and financial instruments, facilitating smoother information exchange and regulatory oversight across borders.

This affects financial supervisory authorities and market regulators in the EU and third countries. It streamlines how these entities coordinate their efforts to monitor stock exchanges and investment activities.
