EACH Calls For An SIU That Further Strengthens Capital Markets
Date 10/06/2025
The European Association of CCP Clearing Houses (EACH) calls for a EU Savings and Investment Union (SIU) that further strengthens capital markets. EACH Members would like to underline the following key messages included in the response to the European Commission’s consultation on the Savings and Investment Union (SIU):
- Supervision – EACH Members point out that the EMIR 3 supervisory system for CCPs came into force relatively recently in December 2024. It is therefore still being tested at this initial stage of application and it may be too early to objectively analyse its implications. Nevertheless, there is a majority support within the EACH Membership in favour of a more centralised supervision for CCPs in the EU to different degrees, although certain CCPs have expressed support towards the EMIR 3 status quo. EACH Members would also like to caution against models such as regional supervisory hubs or establishing supervisory colleges with enhanced powers.
- Recommendations on possible streamlining and simplification of EU law – EACH supports removing overlapping reporting requirements between different legislations such as EMIR, REMIT, MAR, MiFID and MiFIR, as well as ensuring a level playing field between EU and non-EU CCPs and non-centrally cleared markets, especially in the context of requirements concerning e.g. anti-procyclicality and margin transparency. EACH also calls for the implementation of the appropriate measures to incentivise clearing by fund managers, insurers and public entities, as well as a reflection on how the principle of proportionality is applied in the context of the DORA framework. Furthermore, Members put forward detailed proposals linked to the ESMA Draft RTS on EMIR 3 approval procedures, underlining the need for leaner and clearer processes.
- Lowering barriers in post-trading – EACH Members propose to create incentives for the missing Member States and market participants to migrate flows to T2S. Furthermore, we suggest a series of changes to the SFD and FCD legislations to address specific issues concerning the clearing sector such as need to ensure protection under the SFD for all CCPs/clearing houses for their default management rules and procedures, as well as the necessity to expand the list of collateral eligible under the FCD to cover all assets acceptable as collateral.
- Outsourcing and DLT – EACH calls for a clear guidance based on existing rules in the context of outsourcing, and provides an analysis of the advantages and drawbacks regarding the use of DLT in the clearing sector.

EBA Publishes No Action Letter On The Interplay Between Payment Services Directive (PSD2/3) And Markets In Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA)
Date 10/06/2025
The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today a No Action letter advising the EU Commission, EU Council and EU Parliament to ensure that, in the long term, EU law needs to avoid a dual authorisation under two pieces of EU law for the activity of transacting electronic money tokens (EMTs). While the existing Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2) still applies, the letter advises national competent authorities (NCAs) to enforce authorisation of PSD2 for a specified subset only of crypto asset service providers (CASPs) that transact EMTs, to do so only after a transition period that ends on 2 March 2026, and then to deprioritise specified PSD2 provisions.
