CONTINUE READINGMany of FIA EPTA’s members are clients of direct clearing members, and therefore rely on clearing members for access to financial markets. In consequence, we are supportive of the overarching objective which the Delegated Regulation on FRANDT seeks to achieve, which is to increase access to client clearing services by ensuring that clearing members provide clearing services on fair, reasonable, non-discriminatory, and transparent terms.
CONTINUE READINGFIA and ISDA responded to the European Commission (EC)’s consultation on the draft Delegated Act and accompanying Annex to specify the conditions under which the commercial terms for clearing services for OTC derivatives are to be considered to be fair, reasonable, non-discriminatory and transparent (FRANDT).

CONTINUE READINGThe FIA European Principal Traders Association (FIA EPTA) appreciates the opportunity to respond to HM Treasury’s consultation on the Implementation of the Investment Firms Prudential Regime and Basel 3 standards. As MiFID II investment firms our members strongly support the more proportionate prudential regime contained in the Investment Firms Prudential Regime (IFPR). FIA EPTA members agree with the Government’s proposals. Specifically, in regard to the UK resolution regime, we would strongly urge the Government to exclude FCA authorised investment firms from its scope. We hope this feedback is useful and would be delighted to provide any further input as required.
CONTINUE READINGFIA EPTA appreciates the opportunity to provide feedback to the European Banking Authority (EBA) Consultation on its Guidelines on remuneration policies for investment firms. FIA EPTA members note that the Draft EBA Guidelines on sound remuneration policies are very similar to the Guidelines EBA/GL/2015/22 dated 21 December 2015 currently in effect and applicable to firms subject to CRD V and MiFID firms, with minimal changes.
CONTINUE READINGFIA EPTA appreciates the opportunity to provide feedback to the European Banking Authority (EBA) Consultation on its Guidelines on internal governance for investment firms. FIA EPTA members note that the Draft EBA Guidelines on Internal Governance are very similar to those currently in effect and applicable to CRD V and MiFID firms, with relatively few changes.
