The AMF Highlights The Entry Into Force Of Certain Provisions Of The “EMIR” Regulation With Effect From 15 March 2013

European Commission delegated regulations 148/2013 to 153/2013 supplementing the European “EMIR” regulation 648/2012 on over-the-counter derivatives, central counterparties and trade repositories were published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 23 February 2013. They enter into force on 15 March 2013.

The AMF draws the attention of investment firms, credit institutions, insurance firms, portfolio management companies and non-financial firms to the fact that these directly implemented regulations are timetabled for implementation on a phased basis. Only three of the requirements laid down in EMIR are due to be implemented with effect from 15 March.
