(11) It is necessary to ensure that the calibration of the level of the clearing activity to be maintained in accounts at Union CCPs can be adapted to changing circumstances. ESMA has an important role in the assessment of the substantial systemic importance of third-country CCPs and their clearing services. ESMA, in cooperation with the European Banking Authority (EBA), the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) and the ESRB, and after having consulted the European System of Central Banks (ESCB), should therefore develop draft regulatory technical standards specifying the details of the level of substantially systemicTo reduce financial stability risks and ensure that a sufficient level of clearing services to be maintainare cleared in the in active accounts in Union CCPs by, financial and non-financial counterparties subject to the clearing obligation. Such calibration should not go beyond what is necess should be required to cleary and proportionate to reduce clearing in the identified clearing services at Tier 2 CCPs concerned. In that regard, ESMA should consider the costs, risks and the burden such calibration entails for financial and non-financial counterparties, the impact on their competitiveness, and the risk that those costs are passed on to non-financial firms. Furthermore,t least 40 per cent in active accounts in Union CCPs. Two years after the entry into force of this Regulation, ESMA, in cooperation with the EBA, EIOPA and the ESRB and after consulting the ESMACB should also ensube required that the envisaged reduction in clearing in those instruments, identifieo undertake an assessment whether this quantitative threshold has of substantial systemic importance, results in them no longer being considered ofled to a sufficient reduction of excessive exposures in substantially systemic importance when ESMA reviews the recognition ofclearing services offered by the relevant CCPs which according to Article 25(5) of that Regulation and where such a review should be done at least every five years. In addition, suitable phase-in periods for the progressive implementation of the requirement to hold a certain level of the clearing activity in the accounts at Union CCPs Tier 2 CCPs to the extent necessary to safeguard financial stability. Following this assessment, the European Commission may be empowered to adopt a delegated act to increase this quantitative threshould be foreseen.
