III.7.22.

Assuming that a market participant uses the own company website as backup for the publication of inside information. What are the minimum data quality requirements for effective disclosure of inside information which apply in this case (for the backup solution)?

Answer: According to Article 4(1) of REMIT, market participants shall publicly disclose inside information which they possess in an effective and timely manner using inside information platforms.

ACER believes that in order to achieve effective disclosure according to Article 4 of REMIT, the information shall be disclosed using an inside information platform that complies with the minimum quality requirements listed in Chapter 4.2.2 of the ACER Guidance on the application of REMIT.

In case an inside information platform is temporarily unavailable, market participants shall refer to the backup solution provided by the IIP, as indicated in Chapter 4.2.2 of the ACER Guidance on the application of REMIT. Market participants using a backup solution shall provide information on the backup solution during registration, according to Article 9(5) of REMIT.

Market participants may, only in addition, use other channels, including market participants’ websites, to disclose inside information.

Please note that, by 8 May 2025, the Commission shall adopt a delegated act on the authorisation and supervision of inside information platforms which may affect the answer to this question.
