The two-letter country code shall correspond to the nationality of natural person.
2.
The national client identifier referred to in paragraph 1 shall be assigned in accordance with the priority levels provided in Annex II of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/590 using the highest priority identifier that a person has regardless of whether that identifier is already known to the crypto-asset service provider operating a trading platform for crypto-assets.
