The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has published two consultation papers (CP) proposing draft regulatory technical standards (RTS) mandated under the review of European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR 3).
- Draft RTS on EMIR 3 margin transparency requirements (under article 38 EMIR), regarding the information to be provided by central counterparties (CCPs) on their margin simulation tools and by clearing service providers (CSPs) on their margin simulation requirements; and by both on their margin models. The aim is to improve transparency for clearing participants and enable them to better predict margin calls.
- Draft RTS on clearing fees and associated costs (under article 7c(4) EMIR), specifying further details of the information to be disclosed by CSPs regarding clearing fees and associated costs, with the aim of increasing costs transparency.
The deadline for responses is 8 September. ESMA will submit the final draft technical standards to the European Commission by 25 December.
