ESMA to withdraw the recognition decisions of six Indian CCPs

Key Points: 
  • ESMA to withdraw the recognition decisions of six Indian CCPs
    The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EUs financial markets regulator and supervisor, today announces that six central counterparties (CCPs) established in India will have their recognition decisions withdrawn in accordance with the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR).
  • ESMA had to tier and review the recognition of all third country CCPs (TC-CCPs) that had been recognised prior to 21 September 2020, in accordance with EMIR (Article 89(3c)).
  • As a result, ESMA concludes that these TC-CCPs cannot continue to be recognised in the European Union under the currently applicable EMIR regime.
  • To mitigate the adverse impacts on EU market participants, ESMA will defer the application of the withdrawal decisions until 30 April 2023.
