Statistical ESCB services are developed, run and maintained by one or more ESCB central banks and steered by the ESCB’s Statistics Committee. To ensure the smooth, effective and consistent functioning of the SSM the practical arrangements for the cooperation between the European Central Bank and the national competent authorities (NCAs) within the SSM should include arrangements for the use by those NCAs of certain statistical ESCB services in order to carry out their tasks under Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013. Therefore, the list of ESCB services to be made available to competent authorities and cooperating authorities should be extended to include AnaCredit, the Centralised Securities Database (CSDB), the Register of Institutions and Affiliates Database (RIAD), and the Securities Holdings Statistics Database (SHSDB). ---|--- (3) | Competent authorities that use ESCB services are to contribute to the costs of developing and operating the ESCB services according to a defined reimbursement framework based on a cost allocation key. In the light of the significant administrative burden of calculating the reimbursement by competent authorities for past costs in particular, competent authorities that use the SHSDB or the CSDB should only be required to contribute to the costs of developing and operating the respective ESCB service arisen on or after 1 July 2023 for the SHSDB and on or after 1 January 2024 for the CSDB. The existing financial arrangements should therefore be specified further. ---|--- (4) | The use of ESCB services may involve the processing of personal data. The data processing operations related to the different ESCB services may vary and may therefore require different qualifications of the entities involved in such processing. Decision (EU) 2022/1982 (ECB/2022/34) should be amended to allow for the different possible qualifications of controllership from a data protection perspective. ---|--- (5) | Therefore, Decision (EU) 2022/1982 (ECB/2022/34) should be amended accordingly, ---|--- HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION: Article 1 Amendments Decision (EU) 2022/1982 (ECB/2022/34) is amended as follows: 1) | Article 4 is replaced by the following: ‘Article 4 Financial arrangements 1\.
