(31) A CSD operating a DLT SS should always remain subject to the provisions of Regulation (EU) No 909/2014, pursuant to which a CSD that outsources services or activities to a third party remains fully responsible for discharging all of its obligations under that Regulation and is required to ensure that any outsourcing does not result in the delegation of its responsibility. Regulation (EU) No 909/2014 only permits CSDs operating a DLT SS to outsource a core service or activity after receiving authorisation from the competent authority. A CSD operating a DLT SS should therefore be able to request an exemption from that authorisation requirement where the CSD demonstrates that the requirement is incompatible with the use of distributed ledger technology as envisaged in its business plan. The delegation of tasks pertaining to the functioning of a DLT SS, or to the use of distributed ledger technology, to perform settlement, should not be considered to be outsourcing within the meaning of Regulation (EU) No 909/2014.
