Description:
All CRAs will have to provide their data to the CEREP. The CRAs are responsible for the accuracy of
the data sent. CRAs affiliates might report separately to the CEREP; however, CESR strongly encourages CRAs
that act and apply as group of CRAs to report to the CEREP on an aggregated basis for their group of CRAs.
Otherwise, the statistics will be displayed in the public web site independently; the CEREP will NOT perform
aggregation of CRAs affiliate‘s data.
It is important to highlight that: CESR will collect the raw data containing the information related to
individual ratings, and calculate the statistics centrally. The CEREP statistics are based on a stock concept
model, so that intra-period rating activity is derived from a comparison of ratings at the beginning and the
end of a period. CESR will not disclose individual rating information to the public but statistics only.
