European Market Infrastructure Regulation (“EMIR”)
EMIR came into force on 16 August 2012. As part of the regulation, the two principal concerns that regulators sought to address in respect to the protection of clients’ positions and collateral at an EEA central counterparty that has been authorised under EMIR (“EU CCP”) are:
EMIR requires that EU CCPs and their clearing members:
The Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation (”MiFIR”) and Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (“MiFID”) (together, “MiFID II”)
MiFID II places additional obligations on Clearing Members and their clients (“Direct Clients”) with respect to the indirect clearing of Exchange Traded Derivatives (“ETDs”) activity cleared at EU CCPs.
An indirect clearing arrangement arises when there are more than three participants in the transactional chain, for example: CCP, Clearing Member, Direct Client and Indirect Client.
When providing indirect clearing services, Clearing Members and Direct Clients must do so on reasonable commercial terms and publicly disclose the general terms and conditions under which it provides those services.
