Summary

Key Points:

The European Securities and Markets Authority, the EUs securities markets regulator, today published its Final Report containing draft regulatory technical standards (RTS) relating to changes to central counterparty (CCP) services and activities, as well as models and parameters under the European Markets Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR).
Prior to making any significant change to its risk models or parameters, a CCP must also obtain validation from its competent authority and ESMA (Article 49).
The European System of Central Banks, the European Banking Authority and other relevant authorities have contributed to the drafting of the RTS.
ESMA submits the draft RTS to the European Commission for endorsement, following which the Commission Delegated Regulation will be subject to the non-objection of the European Parliament and the Council.
