ESMA launches a consultation on EMIR and announces an open hearing on 6 March

February 16, 2012--The Regulation of the European Parliament and Council on OTC Derivatives, CCPs and trade repositories (EMIR) introduces provisions to improve transparency and reduce the risks associated with the OTC derivatives market and establishes common rules for central counterparties (CCPs) and for trade repositories (TRs).

It has been identified that common rules are required in the case of CCPs in view of the shift of risk management from a bilateral to a central process for OTC derivatives and in the case of trade repositories because of the increase in information that needs to be reported to them. The Regulation delegates or confers powers to the Commission to adopt regulatory technical standards (RTS) and implementing technical standards (ITS) on a number of areas. This discussion paper covers the draft RTS and ITS which ESMA is required to develop.

ESMA is organising a public hearing on 6 March to give an opportunity to interested stakeholders to discuss the relevant sections of the discussion paper. Please sign up online.

Following this discussion paper and on the basis of the relevant input received, ESMA will prepare draft technical standards to be included in the consultation paper which will most likely be published around summer 2012.

Eurobonds and shorter-term solutions needed for Eurozone stability

February 15, 2012--Eurobonds will be a source of stability for the Eurozone in the medium term, but only when its remaining design issues are resolved, said Parliament in a resolution voted on Wednesday. At the same time, other financial instruments must be put in place rapidly to meet the bloc's short-term needs, such as the redemption pact proposed by the German Council of Economic Advisers, it added.

On Tuesday the Commission was questioned in plenary on the responses received so far to the green paper on introducing "stability bonds".

Questions still open on green paper

The resolution welcomes the Commission's green paper but also notes that further work is required on some issues. These would include specific ways of addressing potential moral hazard, making the system attractive for AAA countries as well as heavily indebted ones, increasing competitiveness, and introducing enforceable debt reduction systems.
