Proposal for a regulation
Recital 5
(5) Article 4(2) and Article 11(5) to (10) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 exempt intragroup transactions from the clearing obligation and the margin requirements. To provide more legal certainty and predictability concerning the framework for intragroup transactions, the equivalence decisions in Article 13 of that Regulation should be replaced by a simpler framework. Article 3 of that Regulation should therefore be amended to replace the need for an equivalence decision with a list of third countries for which an exemption should not be granted. Consequently, Article 13 of that Regulation should be deleted. Since Article 382 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council31 refers to intragroup transactions as provided for in Article 3 of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, that Article 382 should also be amended accordingly. __________________ 31 Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms and amending Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 (OJ L 176, 27.6.2013, p. 1).deleted

(6) Given the fact that entities that are established in countries that are listed as high-risk third countries that have strategic deficiencies in their regime on anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing, as referred to in Article 9 of Directive (EU) 2015/849 of the European Parliament and of the Council32 , or in third countries that are listed in Annex I to the Council conclusions on the revised EU list of non- cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes33 are subject to a less stringent regulatory environment, their operations may increase the risk, including due to increased counterparty credit risk and legal risk, for the Union financial stability. Consequently, such entities should not be eligible to be considered in the framework of intragroup transactions. __________________ 32 Directive (EU) 2015/849 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2015 on the prevention of the use of the financial system for the purposes of money laundering or terrorist financing, amending Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council, and repealing Directive 2005/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Directive 2006/70/EC (OJ L 141, 5.6.2015, p. 73). 33 Council conclusions on the revised EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes and the Annexes thereto (OJ C 413 I, 12.10.2021, p. 1).deleted

(7) Strategic deficiencies in the regime on anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing, or lack of cooperation for tax purposes are not necessarily the only factors that can influence risk, including counterparty credit risk and legal risk, associated with derivative contracts. Other factors, such as the supervisory framework, also play a role. The Commission should therefore be empowered to adopt delegated acts to identify the third countries whose entities may not benefit from those exemptions despite not being identified in those lists. Considering that intragroup transactions benefit from reduced regulatory requirements, regulators and supervisors should carefully monitor and assess the risks associated with transactions involving entities from third countries.deleted

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 9
(9) Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 promotes the use of central clearing as the main risk-mitigation technique for OTC derivatives. The risks associated with an OTC derivative contract are therefore best mitigated when that derivative contract is cleared by a CCP authorised under Article 14 or recognised under Article 25 of that Regulation. It follows that in the calculation of the position that is compared to the thresholds specified pursuant to Article 10(4), point (b), of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, only those derivative contracts that are not cleared by a CCP authorised under Article 14 or recognised under Article 25 of that Regulation should be included in that calculation.deleted

Recital 11
(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 systemic clearing services to be maintained in the active accounts in Union CCPs by financial and non-financial counterparties subject to the clearing obligation. Such calibration should not go beyond what is necessary 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 thatNonetheless, to be effective, the minimum level of clearing activity maintained in accounts at Union CCPs should not be lower than 15% of those costs are passed on to non-financial firmsunterparty total clearing activity. Furthermore, ESMA should also ensure that the envisaged reduction in clearing in those instruments, identified as of substantial systemic importance, results in them no longer being considered of substantial systemic importance when ESMA reviews the recognition of 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 should be foreseen.

(11a) To reflect the high risks posed by EU banks overreliance on third-country CCPs, it is also necessary to adapt the prudential framework and ensure that those risks are adequately taken into account to safeguard the financial stability of the Union and its Member States. Additional own funds requirements should therefore be imposed on banks’ large exposures to Tier 2 CCPs.

Recital 11 b (new)
(11b) A number of public entities, such as central government, local authorities or other public sector entities clear on a voluntary basis. When using clearing services, public entities should, as a principle, use EU CCPs clearing services. In its letter of 1st April 2022, ESMA stressed that the modalities of public entities participation to CCPs vary across Member States. In particular, ESMA identified diverging practices regarding the calculation of the exposures of public entities to EU CCPs and their contributions to the financial resources of the CCP. Therefore, ESMA should be invited to work on the further harmonisation and coordination regarding public entities’ clearing activities.

Recital 12
(12) To ensure that clients are aware of their options and can take an informed decision as where to clear their derivative contracts, clearing members and clients that provide clearing services in both Union and recognised third-country CCPs should inform their clients about the option to clear a derivative contract in a Union CCP so that clearing in those services identified as of substantial systemic importance is reduced in Tier 2 CCPs in order to ensure the financial stability of the Union. Such obligation to inform should be distinct from the active account requirement.

Recital 13 a (new)
(13a) Over the past years, the supervisory community has been raising concerns about the data quality of the reporting made by financial and non- financial counterparties in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 648/2012. Entities subject to the reporting obligation in accordance to this regulation should exercise due diligence by applying data quality checks before submitting their data. Competent authorities should be able to adopt appropriate sanctions in case of infringements of this due diligence requirement.

Amendment 227 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 21
(21) There is currently uncertainty as to when an additional service or activity is covered by a CCP’s existing authorisation. It is necessary to address that uncertainty and to ensure proportionality when the proposed additional service or activity does not increase the risks for the CCP. It is therefore necessary to lay down that applications in those cases should not undergo the full assessment procedure. For that reason, it should be specified which additional clearing services and activities are non-material, and thus do not increase the risks for a Union CCP, and should be approved through a non-objection procedure by that CCP’s competent authority. That non-objection procedure should be applied where the CCP intends to clear one or more financial instruments belonging to the same classes of financial instruments for which it has been authorised to clear, provided such financial instruments are traded on a trading venue for which the CCP already provides clearing services or performs activities and the proposed additional clearing service or activity does not involve a payment in a new currency. That non-objection procedure should also be applied where the CCP adds a new Union currency in a class of financial instruments already covered by the CCP’s authorisation, or where the CCP adds one or more additional tenors to a class of financial instruments already covered by the CCP’s authorisation provided that the maturity range is not significantly extended. In addition, a CCP should also be able to ask its competent authority for the non- objection procedure to apply where that CCP considers that the proposed additional service or activity would not increase its risks, in particular where the new clearing service or activity is similar to the services the CCP is already authorised to provide. The non-objection procedure should not require a separate opinion from ESMA and the college since such requirement would be disproportionate. Instead, ESMA and the college should be able to provide input to the CCP’s competent authority through the joint supervisory team established for that CCP.

Recital 22
(22) To fosthe clearing landscape in the Union has undergone major changes since 2019, when amending regulations to Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010 and Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 were a cooperative supervisiondopted. Contrary to initial expectations, clearing activities have not yet been relocated in the EU. However, the requirement for financial and non- financial counterparties to hold active accounts in EU CCPs, coupled with an improved attractiveness of EU CCPs on an ongoing basis, the college should issue an opinion where a competent authority considers withdrawing a CCP’s authorisation and when a competent authority conducts the annual review and evaluation of that, are expected to trigger a significant increase of clearing activities in EU CCPs. The increase of clearing activities in the EU makes necessary a more coordinated and integrated approach to the supervision of EU CCPs. ESMA should therefore be the direct supervisor of all EU CCPs, and enhanced cooperation and integration between all relevant authorities is necessary to ensure that risks concentrated in EU CCPs are adequately monitored and managed, in order to minimise systemic risk and spill-over effects across Member States. Empowering ESMA with a direct supervisory role vis-a-vis EU CCPs requires adapting the existing supervisory framework under Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 , providing ESMA with decision-making powers over EU CCPs, but also by clarifying how these new powers would interact with the supervisory role of the national competent authorities. Under a new and more integrated approach, relevant supervisory decisions should be drafted and adopted by ESMA, having taken into account the opinion of the college. The competent authority of the CCP may be requested by ESMA to assist with drafting decisions, the verification of activities of the CCP, and the day-to-day assessments. ESMA should be empowered to delegate specific supervisory tasks to competent authorities. ESMA should be in charge of coordinating the joint supervisory activities, including in relation to on-site inspections of EU CCPs. The change in the approach should also cover the annual reviews.

Recital 24
(24) ESMA should be able to contribute more effectively to ensuring that Union CCPs are safe, robust and competitive in providing their services throughout the Union. Therefore, ESMA should, in addition to the supervisory competences currently laid down in Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, also issue an opinion to the CCP’s competent authority about a CCP’s annual review and evaluation, the withdrawal of its authorisation and margin requirements. When issuing an opinion, ESMA should assess a CCP’s compliance with the applicable requirements, focusing in particular on identified cross-border risks or risks to the financial stability of the Union. It is also necessary to further enhance supervisory convergence and to ensure that all stakeholders are informed of ESMA’s and the college’s assessment of a CCP’s activities. ESMA should therefore disclose, taking into account the need to protect confidential information, the fact that a competent authority does not comply or does not intend to comply with its opinion or the opinion of the college and any conditions or recommendations included therein. ESMA should be able to decide, on a case by case basis, to publish the reasons provided by the competent authority for not complying with the ESMA opinion or the college opinion or any conditions or recommendations contained therein.deleted

(26) ESMA should have the means to identify potential risks to the Union’s financial stability. ESMA should therefore, in cooperation with the EBA, EIOPA, ESRB and the ECB in the framework of the tasks concerning the prudential supervision of credit institutions within the single supervisory mechanism conferred upon it in accordance with Council Regulation (EU) No 1024/201336 , identify the interconnections and interdependencies between different CCPs and legal persons, including shared clearing members, clients and indirect clients, shared material service providers, shared material liquidity providers, cross-collateral arrangements, cross-default provisions and cross-CCP netting, cross-guarantee agreements and risks transfers and back-to-back trading arrangements. __________________ 36 […]

(28) It is necessary to ensure a prompt exchange of information, knowledge sharing and effective cooperation between the authorities involved inWith ESMA becoming the supervisionor of authorisedEU CCPs, and in particular where a swift decision by a CCP’s competent authority is required. Iit is therefore appropriate to set up a joint supervisory team for each Union CCP to assist those supervisory authorities, including by providing input to the CCP’s competent authority within the context of the non-objection procedure for extending a CCP’s existing authorisation, assisting in establishing the frequency and depth of a CCP’s review and evaluation, and participating to on-site inspections. Considering that a CCP’s competent authorityESMA remains ultimately responsible for the final supervisory decisions, the joint supervisory teams should work under the auspices of the CCP’s competent authority for which the team is established and should be composed of staff members from the CCP’s competent authoritybe composed of staff members from the competent authority of the member State where the CCP is located, ESMA and certain members of the college. Other members of the college should also be able to request to participate justifying the request based on their assessment of the impact that the CCP's financial distress could have on the financial stability of their respective Member State.

(36) Where recognition is provided under Article 25(2b) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, considering that those CCPone or more of those CCPs clearing services are of systemic importance for the Union or one or more of its Member States, the cooperation arrangements between ESMA and the relevant third-country authorities should cover the exchange of information for a broader range of information and with increased frequency. In that case, the cooperation arrangements should also entail procedures to ensure such a Tier 2 CCP is supervised pursuant to Article 25 of that Regulation. ESMA should ensure it can obtain all information necessary to fulfil its duties under that Regulation, including information necessary to ensure compliance with Article 25(2b) of that Regulation and to ensure that information is shared where a CCP has been granted, partially or fully, comparable compliance. To enable ESMA to carry out full and effective supervision of Tier 2 CCPs, it should be clarified that those CCPs should provide ESMA with information periodically.
