ISDA Urges Clarity Over Non-E.U. CCP Clearing

Further clarity is needed in respect to article 25 (1) of the European Market Infrastructure Regulation, according to the International Swaps and Derivatives Association. Article 25 (1) prohibits non-E.U. central counterparties from providing clearing in the E.U. unless recognized by the European Securities and Markets Association, and ISDA has warned European lawmakers that a number of issues still remain to be settled, such as whether non-E.U. CCPs will be able to obtain recognition from the regulatory body before the prohibition comes into effect.
