Question 5.1.7 Data Fields (12) Reason of Unavailability

In relation to data fields number 12 (Reason of Unavailability) and 13 (Remarks) as displayed in Annex VII to the Manual of Procedures on data reporting, is it required to translate values from native language into English?

Answer: In order to disseminate the inside information 'efficiently', the use of English is a best practice commonly used by stakeholders across Europe. Also, in line with the ACER Guidance on the application of REMIT (p. 42): “The information should be published in the official language(s) of the relevant Member State and in English or in English only’’.

Therefore, the Agency believes that the market participant should provide the web feeds in the official language(s) of the relevant Member State and in English or in English only.
