Better Data Sharing Regulation published in OJ

The Better Data Sharing Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2025/2088) has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJ). The regulation introduces targeted amendments to certain reporting requirements in the fields of financial services and investment support. It amends seven foundational EU laws to streamline supervisory reporting and improve data sharing among EU financial authorities. Key features include: (i) a requirement for the European Supervisory Authorities, through the Joint Committee and in cooperation with other EU bodies, to deliver a feasibility report within five years on a cross-sectoral integrated reporting system. Based on its findings and a comprehensive impact assessment, the European Commission may, where appropriate, put forward a legislative proposal; (ii) calls for consistent application of the "report once" principle, whereby authorities should obtain information from other authorities that have already collected it, rather than requesting it again from reporting entities, provided this does not compromise the entities' ability to perform their tasks; (iii) a shift from biannual to annual reporting under the InvestEU Programme; (iv) clarification of the scope and conditions for both mandatory and voluntary data sharing; and (v) encouragement for authorities to enter into memoranda of understanding to support information exchange. The Regulation will enter into force on 10 November.
