CONTINUE READINGFIA has jointly with ISDA, AFME, EBF and EFAMA written to Commissioner Mairead McGuinness requesting that the European Commission expedite the review of clearing arrangements in as many non-EU jurisdictions as possible.
CONTINUE READINGFIA EPTA members believe that the Commission should firstly focus on opportunities to incentivise clearing of new transactions on EU CCPs as moving legacy positions to another CCP will create issues around higher cost and increased risk of closing and re-opening the cleared position on the market.

CONTINUE READINGFIA recommends the European Commission takes into account international practices and continues the coordination of cross-border clearing and capital frameworks at an international level.
