Cooperation and stakeholder engagement
Who do we cooperate with?

ACER works closely with many bodies (including reporting parties, stakeholders and institutions) to ensure the effective implementation of REMIT.
Who do we cooperate with?
- National regulatory authorities (NRAs).
- Other relevant national authorities (e.g. competition authorities, financial regulators).
- European institutions and agencies (e.g. European Commission, European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA)).
- Reporting entities:
- Associations of energy market participants (AEMPs): Registered market participants that have established cooperation with ACER (via AEMP Open call).
- Inside information platforms (IIPs): Platforms that enable market participants to share inside information with the wider public (in accordance with minimum quality requirements listed in ACER's Guidance).
- Organised market places (OMPs): Electricity and gas exchanges, brokers, persons professionally arranging transactions and trading venues.
- Registered reporting mechanisms (RRMs): All registered reporting entities, including market participants, OMPs, European Networks of Transmission System Operators (ENTSOs) and third parties reporting data on behalf of other entities.
- REMIT subject matter experts (through dedicated Expert Groups).
- Academia and institutions.
- Other stakeholders.
ACER also engages in international cooperation.
Cooperation and stakeholder engagement
How do we cooperate?
ACER engages widely on REMIT implementation (e.g. on the revision of related guidance), including through:
- public workshops, webinars and events (e.g. annual REMIT workshop);
- roundtable meetings with data reporting parties;
- public and targeted consultations;
- bilateral exchanges (e.g. through the Market Surveillance Forum (MSF) and the Energy Trading Enforcement Forum (ETEF)); and
- Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) (e.g. with NRAs, ESMA, OMPs and the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)).
While the MoU with the NRAs is a multilateral one, MoUs with OMPs are bilateral. This allows OMPs to set out the content and procedures for the cooperation on more specific issues related to market monitoring under REMIT. ACER had signed MoUs with eight organised market places across the European Union.
