    An applicant may submit for any non-significant benchmark that it provides the information required by paragraph 6 of Annex I or, where applicable, paragraph 6 of Annex II in the form of a summary.

  2. (2)

    Non-supervised entities providing critical and significant benchmarks shall submit the information listed in Annex I.

    Without prejudice to paragraphs 1 to 4, an applicant providing only regulated-data benchmarks shall not submit the information listed in points 5(c), 6(a)(iii) and 6(a)(iv) of Annex I and Annex II.

  6. (6)

    An applicant providing only interest rate benchmarks shall submit the information listed in the Annexes of this Regulation and shall specify how the specific requirements set out in Annex I of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 are implemented where the provisions in Annex I of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 apply in addition to, or as a substitute for, the requirements in Title II of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011, pursuant to Article 18 of that Regulation.

  7. (7)

    An applicant providing only commodity benchmarks shall provide the information listed in Annex I of this Regulation if it is a non-supervised entity or if it provides a critical benchmark.

The applicant shall specify how the requirements set out in Annex II of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 are implemented for any commodity benchmark subject to Annex II instead of Title II of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 pursuant to Article 19 of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011.
