Operational resilience – The AMF applies the Joint Guidelines on the oversight cooperation and information exchange under the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA)

The Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) announces the application of the Joint Guidelines developed by the European supervisory authorities (ESAs) under DORA. These Joint Guidelines establish a framework for cooperation between national competent authorities (NCAs) on the oversight of critical ICT third-party service providers.

A framework to strengthen digital resilience

The DORA regulation (2022/2554), which will enter into application on 17 January 2025, establishes a European framework to strengthen the digital resilience of financial entities to risks associated with critical ICT third-party service providers. These providers play an essential role in the functioning of financial markets, and their rigorous oversight is crucial to ensuring the stability and security of the European Union’s financial system.

In this context, the Joint Guidelines established by the ESAs, in accordance with Article 32(7) of the DORA regulation, define the terms of cooperation between NCAs and the ESAs. In particular, they cover:

  • detailed procedures for allocating and carrying out tasks between NCAs and ESAs;
  • conditions and procedures for exchanging information necessary to monitor recommendations issued against critical ICT third-party service providers.

Harmonized cooperation and exchanges

These guidelines aim to ensure a harmonized and coordinated approach across all EU Member States. This includes:

  • improving the effectiveness of oversight and monitoring activities;
  • reducing duplication and overlap in measures taken against critical providers;
  • establishing a clear framework for information exchange between the players involved.

The AMF’s commitment and next steps

In accordance with its obligations, the AMF declares that it will comply with these guidelines within the two months following their publication in the official languages of the European Union (6 November 2024).

These Joint Guidelines will apply from 17 January 2025. On this date, the AMF will incorporate these new measures into its supervisory practices, working closely with the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) and the other NCAs.
