EACH Responds To The European Commission Legislative Proposal On CSDR Refit

Date 26/05/2022

The European Association of CCP Clearing Houses (EACH) has today responded to the CSDR Refit-based legislative proposal from the European Commission. Overall, EACH does not have any major objections or issues with the legislative proposal published by the European Commission. Our main point is highlighting the gap left by the removal of Mandatory Buy-in (MBI) regime for the special case of CCP cleared share transactions. Where the proposal on delayed MBI regime is concerned, EACH supports that any potential provisions imposed by the Commission on mandatory buy-ins avoid the ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. Furthermore, we consider it important to account for how the settlement discipline-related post-trading picture interrelates with the trading picture (e.g., the effects of internalised settlement volumes).
