By contrast, Article 4 of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 requires trading venues to notify their competent authorities only once of details of financial instruments which are the subject of a request for admission to trading, admitted to trading or traded and once subsequently where a financial instrument ceases to be traded or admitted to trading. Subject to the foregoing difference in reporting obligations under Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 and the aforementioned Delegated Regulation, the reporting obligations under this Regulation should be aligned with the reporting obligations under the aforementioned Delegated Regulation so as to reduce the administrative burden for entities subject to such obligations.\n(2)\nIn order to enable effective and efficient use of the list of notifications of financial instruments, trading venues should provide complete and accurate notifications of financial instruments. For the same reasons, competent authorities should monitor and assess notifications of financial instruments received from trading venues for completeness and accuracy and promptly inform them of any incompleteness or inaccuracy identified. Likewise, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) should monitor and assess the completeness and accuracy of notifications received from competent authorities and promptly inform them of any incompleteness or inaccuracy identified.\n(3)\nThe list of notifications of financial instruments should be published by ESMA in an electronic, machine-readable and downloadable form in order to facilitate efficient use and exchange of the data.\n(4)\nThis Regulation is based on the draft regulatory technical standards submitted by the ESMA to the Commission. ESMA has conducted open public consultations on the draft regulatory technical standards on which this Regulation is based, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the opinion of the Securities and Markets Stakeholder Group established by Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council.\n(5)\nIn order to ensure the smooth functioning of the financial markets, it is necessary that this Regulation enters into force as a matter of urgency and that the provisions laid down in this Regulation apply from the same date as those laid down in Regulation (EU) No 596/2014,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
