ESMA publishes updated Q&A document

On June 4, 2013, ESMA published the second edition of its Q & A document from March 2013 which provides responses to questions posed by the general public, market participants and competent authorities in relation to the practical application of EMIR. Certainly a very useful and widely appreciated document. The following areas are covered in detail with regard to both financial and non-financial counterparties (corporations) and their reporting obligations:

  • Reporting of outstanding positions following the entry into force of EMIR (backloading)
  • Reporting to Trade Repositories / avoidance of duplication / delegation
  • Interim Legal Entity Identifier (LEI)
  • More clarity regarding transaction scenarios (e.g. A trades with B, B trades with C, etc.)

Questions & Answers document related to EMIR, published by ESMA on June 4, 2013. Update of the first Q&A document published by ESMA on March 20, 2013.

EMIR reporting and UTC date/time format compliance

ESMA requires date and time information - as part of the forthcoming reporting requirements for derivatives - to be compliant with UTC standards.

EMIR: Indicative reporting timeline updated by ESMA

ESMA issued an updated timeline (indicative) on May 22, 2013. 
Emphasis is placed on the fact of the Trade Repository (TR) registration process and the impact on the earliest reporting start dates. ESMA itself doubts the indicative reporting start date due to the delayed registration process for trade repositories. Currently we are aware of seven trade repositories which have announced their interest in becoming authorized by ESMA!
