Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Brian Quintenz On Staff No-Action Relief For Eurex Clearing AG

Date 20/12/2018

Shortly after the announcement of the CCP Agreement in February 2016, the EC found the CFTC regime equivalent, the CFTC granted substituted compliance to dually-registered EU-domiciled CCPs, and the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) made positive recognition decisions for several U.S. CCPs.
