Competent authorities shall verify that ECAIs' individual credit assessments are recognised in the market as credible and reliable by the users of such credit assessments. Credibility shall be assessed by competent authorities according to factors such as the following: market share of the ECAI; revenues generated by the ECAI, and more in general financial resources of the ECAI; whether there is any pricing on the basis of the rating; and at least two credit institutions use the ECAI's individual credit assessment for bond issuing and/or assessing credit risks. Competent authorities shall verify that individual credit assessments are accessible at equivalent terms at least to all credit institutions having a legitimate interest in these individual credit assessments. In particular, competent authorities shall verify that individual credit assessments are available to non-domestic parties on equivalent terms as to domestic credit institutions having a legitimate interest in these individual credit assessments.
