Details
The Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs adopted the report by Danuta Maria HÜBNER (EPP, PL) on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulations (EU) No 648/2012, (EU) No 575/2013 and (EU) 2017/1131 as regards measures to mitigate excessive exposures to third-country central counterparties and improve the efficiency of Union clearing markets.
The committee responsible recommended that the European Parliament's position adopted at first reading under the ordinary legislative procedure should amend the proposal as follows:
Active Account
The amended text set a solid active account requirement (AAR) that will require certain financial and non-financial counterparties to have an account at an EU CCP , which includes operational elements such as the ability to handle the counterparty’s transactions at short notice if need be and activity elements so that the account is effectively used. This is ensured by a number of requirements, which have to be fulfilled by these accounts, including requirements for counterparties above a certain threshold to clear trades in the most relevant sub-categories of derivatives of substantial systemic importance defined in terms of class of derivative, size and maturity.
Joint supervisory activities
Each authorised CCP authorised should be subject to joint supervisory activities. Those activities should be coordinated by ESMA and the college in the context of the annual review and evaluation process and should be open for the participation of each college member on a voluntary basis.
ESMA should be in charge of establishing and coordinating the joint supervisory activities.
Joint monitoring mechanism
To enhance the ability of relevant Union bodies to have a comprehensive overview of market developments relevant for clearing in the Union, monitor the implementation of certain clearing related requirements of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 and collectively discuss the potential risks arising from the interconnectedness of different financial actors and other issues related to the financial stability, the report noted the need to establish a cross-sectoral monitoring mechanism bringing together the relevant Union bodies involved in the supervision of Union CCPs, clearing members and clients.
Such Joint Monitoring Mechanism should be managed and chaired by ESMA as the Union authority supervising Union CCPs and supervising systemically important third-country CCPs. Other participants should include representatives from the Commission, the EBA, EIOPA, the ESRB, the ECB and the ECB in the framework of the tasks concerning the prudential supervision of credit institutions within the single supervisory mechanism.
To inform future policy decisions, ESMA, in cooperation with the other bodies participating in the Joint Monitoring Mechanism, should submit an annual report to the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on the results of their activities. This report should include recommendations for potential Union-level action to address identified horizontal risks.
Strengthening ESMA’s role in emergency situations
Members considered that ESMA should be provided with a coordination role in cross-border emergency situations. Therefore, ESMA should be able to convene meetings of the CCP Supervisory Committee, either on its own initiative or upon request, potentially with an enlarged composition, to coordinate effectively competent authorities’ responses in emergency situations. ESMA should also be able to ask, by simple request, information from market participants which is necessary for ESMA to perform its coordination function in those situations and to be able to issue recommendations to the competent authority.
Lastly, given that developments in financial markets could have direct implications for the banking system or for monetary policy decisions, representatives of relevant central banks of issue should always be invited to participate in the coordination meetings of the CCP Supervisory Committee in response to such emergency situations.

PURPOSE: to increase the safety and efficiency of Union central counterparties (CCPs) by improving their attractiveness, encouraging clearing in the Union and enhancing the cross-border consideration of risks.
PROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council.
ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European Parliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal footing with the Council.
BACKGROUND: Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 (the European Market Infrastructure Regulation or EMIR) regulates derivatives transactions, including measures to limit their risks through clearing in central counterparties (CCPs). CCPs take on the risks faced by the parties to a trade, becoming the buyer to every seller and the seller to every buyer. By doing so, they increase market transparency and efficiency and reduce the risks in financial markets, especially for derivatives.
Whilst EMIR has established a robust framework for central clearing, certain areas of the current supervisory framework have proven overly complex. This limits EU CCPs’ ability to attract business both within the EU and internationally.
A safe, robust, efficient and attractive clearing system in the EU is essential for a well-functioning Capital Markets Union. If clearing does not function properly, financial institutions, companies and investors face more risks and higher costs – as the 2008 financial crisis showed.
The proposal aims to mitigate these obstacles in order to foster modern and competitive CCPs in the EU that can attract business.
This proposal is complemented by a proposal for a Directive introducing a limited number of changes to Directive 2013/36/EU (Capital Requirements Directive or ‘CRD’), Directive (EU) 2019/2034 (Investment Firms Directive or ‘IFD’) and Directive 2009/65/EU (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities Directive or ‘UCITS Directive’) as regards the treatment of concentration risk towards CCPs and the counterparty risk on centrally cleared derivative transactions. These amendments are necessary to ensure that the objectives of this EMIR review are achieved as well as to assure coherence. The two proposals should therefore be read in conjunction.
This proposal is part of the initiative aimed at ensuring that the EU has a safe, robust and competitive central clearing ecosystem, thereby promoting the Capital Markets Union (CMU) and reinforcing the EU’s open strategic autonomy. Robust and safe central counterparties (CCPs) enhance the trust of the financial system and crucially support the liquidity of key markets.
CONTENT: the Commission proposal introduces targeted amendments to EMIR which aim to improve the central clearing system in the EU , making EU CCPs more efficient and attractive. It addresses the vulnerabilities that stem from the current excessive reliance on certain third-country CCPs deemed to be substantially systemic for the EU, ensuring that the EU has a competitive and efficient clearing system that is safe and resilient.
The proposed regulation will have a positive impact by:
- improving the attractiveness of EU CCPs by, for example, shortening the approval process for offering new services to 10 working days instead of up to 2 years in certain cases;
- enhancing the resilience of the clearing system considering recent developments on energy markets by further enhancing the existing supervisory framework;
- reducing excessive reliance on third-country CCPs , strengthening the EU’s open strategic autonomy, by requiring all relevant market participants to hold active accounts at EU CCPs for clearing at least a portion of certain derivative contracts.
More specifically, clearing members (mainly banks) will benefit from extended, faster clearing offers by CCPs, thereby providing more choices on where to clear.
As for the clients , such as non-financial corporates or financial market participants, they will benefit from:
- more transparency on margin models and collateral requirements;
- information on where to clear certain contracts that can be cleared both at a third-country CCP and at an EU CCP; and
- the possibility to use bank and public guarantees.
In addition, the proposal entails two different aspects related to the equivalence framework under EMIR.
First, the Commission simplifies the framework for intragroup transactions . It provides more legal certainty to market participants and international partners by deleting the condition of an equivalence decision to benefit from intragroup exemption and replacing it by a list of jurisdictions for which an exemption cannot be granted. In order to benefit from the intragroup exemption, entities located in third countries should be in a country that is not identified as having deficiencies in terrorist financing and anti-money laundering regulations or considered as a non-cooperative jurisdiction for tax purposes. The country should also not have been identified by the Commission based on legal, supervisory and enforcement arrangements with regard to risks, including legal and counterparty credit risks.
Second, the proposal introduces the possibility for the Commission to take a more proportionate approach when adopting an equivalence decision for a third country by waiving the requirement to have an effective equivalent system for recognising third-country CCPs. This will be possible only when it is deemed to be in the interests of the Union and particularly when the risks involved in clearing in that third country are low.

Amendment 197 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 3 a (new) (3a) The clearing system must benefit from more clearing options and alternatives to ensure banks and the real economy have continuous access to safe and efficient clearing solutions. The EU must make a significant contribution by developing and offering safe, efficient and innovative clearing infrastructures. The evolution of clearing markets brings with it new product offerings, risk profiles and approaches to risk management. This requires supervisory and regulatory approaches to be adapted and regulators and the industry to work closely together
Amendment 198 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 3 b (new) (3b) The clearing system is evolving quickly. New financial products that support hedging activities by market participants and the real economy are being made available for clearing. New market participants are entering the clearing space, seeking to benefit from efficient and resilient post-trade mechanisms.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 7 Amendment 203 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 9 Amendment 204 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 9 a (new) (9a) Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/174 of 8 February 2022 with respect to the equivalence of central counterparties in the United Kingdom (UK CCPs) expires on 30 June 2025. A clear roadmap for reducing Union market participants' exposures to UK CCPs is needed to mitigate financial stability risks associated with the current reliance on UK CCPs. Such a roadmap should foresee that the majority of risk exposure arising from the use of relevant clearing services is held in accounts with EU CCPs no longer than five years after entry into force of this Regulation. If the Joint Monitoring Mechanism comes to the conclusion, following this five-year period, that this goal has been achieved, it should recommend to the European Commission and ESMA to adopt equivalence and recognition decisions without any time limitations with regard to UK CCPs. Such recommendation presupposes that other applicable criteria for such decisions set out in this Regulation are met.
Amendment 205 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 9 a (new) (9a) Any PTRR exemption should not circumvent the clearing obligation, and should only become applicable for still outstanding positions that were already outstanding when the clearing obligation entered into force. It is further to be clarified which entities are to be allowed to provide PTRR services.
Amendment 206 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 10 Amendment 207 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 10 (10) It is necessary to address the financial stability risks associated with excessive exposures of Union clearing members and clients to systemically important third-country CCPs (Tier 2 CCPs) that provide clearing services that have been identified by ESMA as clearing services of substantial systemic importance pursuant to Article 25(2c) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012. In December 2021, ESMA concluded that the provision of certain clearing services provided by two Tier 2 CCPs, namely for interest rate derivatives denominated in euro and Polish zloty, Credit Default Swaps (CDS) denominated in euro and Short-Term Interest Rate Derivatives (STIR) denominated in euro, are of substantial systemic importance for the Union or one or more of its Member States. As noted by ESMA in its December 2021 assessment report, were those Tier 2 CCPs to face financial distress, changes to those CCPs’ eligible collateral, margins or haircuts may negatively impact the sovereign bond markets of one or more Member States, and more broadly the Union financial stability. Furthermore, disruptions in markets relevant for monetary policy implementation may hamper the transmission mechanism critical to central banks of issue. It is therefore appropriate to require any financial counterparties and non-financial counterparties that are subject to the clearing obligation to hold, directly or indirectly, accounts with a minimum level of

Amendment 212 #
Proposal for a regulation 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.

Amendment 214 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 11 a (new) (11a) It is necessary to explore additional means of enhancing the attractiveness of EU CCPs. This objective must be pursued while safeguarding the competitiveness of EU firms and upholding the freedom of choice for clearing market participants. To achieve a proportionate approach that bolsters EU capital markets, maintains financial stability, and strengthens the competitiveness of the Union's clearing system on a global scale, the implementation of an incentives regime is necessary to encourage businesses to move to EU CCPs.
Amendment 215 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 11 a (new) (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.
Amendment 216 #
Proposal for a regulation 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.
Amendment 217 #
Proposal for a regulation 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. However, this obligation to inform clients should be distinct from the active account requirement. Relevant clearing members should also systematically propose Union clearing alternatives to clients even for services that are not determined as being of substantial systemic importance by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA).
Amendment 218 #
Proposal for a regulation 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. Clearing members must respect the wishes of the clients on where to clear the clients' derivatives.
Amendment 219 #
Proposal for a regulation 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
Amendment 220 #
Proposal for a regulation 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 221 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 14 (14) Regulation (EU) 2019/834 of the European Parliament and of the Council34 amended Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 to introduce, inter alia, an exemption from reporting requirements for OTC derivative transactions between counterparties within a group, where at least one of the counterparties is a non-financial counterparty. That exemption has been introduced because intragroup transactions involving non-financial counterparties represent a relatively small fraction of all OTC derivative transactions and are used primarily for internal hedging within groups. As such, those transactions do not significantly contribute to systemic risk and interconnectedness with the rest of the financial system.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 14 (14) Regulation (EU) 2019/834 of the European Parliament and of the Council34 amended Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 to introduce, inter alia, an exemption from reporting requirements for OTC derivative transactions between counterparties within a group, where at least one of the counterparties is a non-financial counterparty. That exemption has been introduced because intragroup transactions involving non-financial counterparties represent a relatively small fraction of all OTC derivative transactions and are used primarily for internal hedging within groups. As such, those transactions do not significantly contribute to systemic risk and interconnectedness with the rest of the financial system. The exemption for those transactions from reporting requirements has, however, limited the ability of ESMA, the ESRB and other authorities to clearly identify and assess the risks taken by non- financial counterparties.
Amendment 223 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 14 (14) Macroprudential supervision is not restricted to transactions between financial counterparties, but also requires monitoring of exposures between financial and non-financial counterparties belonging to the same consolidation. Regulation (EU) 2019/834 of the European Parliament and of the Council34 amended Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 to introduce, inter alia, an exemption from reporting requirements for OTC derivative transactions between counterparties within a group, where at least one of the counterparties is a non- financial counterparty. That exemption has been introduced because intragroup transactions involving non-financial counterparties represent a relatively small fraction of all OTC derivative transactions and are used primarily for internal hedging within groups. As such, those transactions do not significantly contribute to systemic risk and interconnectedness with the rest of the financial system. The exemption for those transactions from reporting requirements has, however, limited the ability of ESMA, the ESRB and other authorities to clearly identify and assess the risks taken by non-
Amendment 224 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 18 a (new) (18a) To avoid market fragmentation and to ensure a global level playing field for counterparties established in the Union, international regulatory convergence should also be ensured with regard to risk-management procedures for classes of OTC derivatives that are not subject to equivalent margin requirements. In particular, acknowledging the fact that in some relevant jurisdictions single-stock equity options and index options are not subject to equivalent margin requirements, those products should be exempted from margin requirements. This exemption should be ended should these relevant jurisdictions become subject to equivalent margin requirements.
Amendment 225 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 20 (20) Union CCPs face challenges in expanding their product offer and experience difficulties in bringing new products to the market. Those challenges and difficulties can be explained by certain provisions of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 that render some authorisation procedures too long, complex and uncertain in their outcome. The process of authorising Union CCPs or extending their authorisation should therefore be simplified, while ensuring the appropriate involvement of ESMA and the college referred to in Article 18 of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012. First, to avoid significant, and potentially indefinite, delays when competent authorities assess the completeness of an application for an authorisation, the competent authority
Amendment 226 #
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
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.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 50 a (new) (50a) Efficient portability of client positions in the event of a clearing member default is key to ensuring a safe and competitive clearing system. However, the recent CPMI-IOSCO report on client clearing and portability identifies several regulatory barriers to efficient porting in certain jurisdictions. ESMA should therefore assess the regulatory barriers to porting in the Union and provide the Commission with a report, including recommendations for legislative amendments, if appropriate.
Amendment 243 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 50 a (new) (50a) (51) To further enhance the attractiveness of CCPs established in the Union, the opening hours of TARGET2 should be extended beyond the current constraints.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 50 b (new) (50b) The Report on the Functioning of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 with the related obligations under Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 jointly issued by the European Banking Authority (EBA) and the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) in January 2017 identifies multiple potentially duplicative and inconsistent requirements for CCPs holding a banking license. Consequently, the report recommends a number of clarifications to avoid increased regulatory risk, unnecessary burdens and costs for monitoring by the competent authorities. The duplication of capital requirements identified in this report has not yet been fully addressed. Therefore, as recommended in the report, it should be clarified that CCPs authorised in accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EU) 648/2012, are not required to set aside own funds for their activities where the incumbent risks are already covered through the CCP-specific financial resources referred to in Articles 41 to 44 of Regulation (EU) 648/2012. Whilst the Eurosystem is looking into the issue of convergent central bank access policies for Union CCPs, the central banks of issue of the Eurosystem under the lead of the ECB should on request of the European Parliament provide a report assessing the state of play and, if appropriate, provide recommendations how to ensure generalized central bank access for EMIR-authorized Union CCPs without the condition of maintaining a banking license.
