CCP-cleared trades terminated - not modified (in EMIR reports)

Category: EMIR
Published: 24 November 2015

 

Where an existing contract is subsequently cleared by a CCP, it mustn't be reported under EMIR to the trade repository as a modification of the existing contract, but the original contract should be flagged as terminated and the new contract resulting from clearing should be reported.

 

This is the essence of ESMA's recent draft amendments with respect to EMIR reporting of derivatives subject to clearing.

 

It will be also expressly stipulated by the law that when a contract is concluded in a trading venue and cleared on the day of execution, only its cleared form will be reported.

Brokers as reporting agents under REMIT

Category: REMIT
Published: 23 November 2015

 

Brokers role in the REMIT reporting framework appears somewhat complex. Let alone entirely different structuring of executing brokers and the clearing ones (where the clearing brokers have been placed - fundamentally - outside the REMIT market participants' scope), the reporting of life-cycle events with respect to trades executed with the broker's participation requires a careful reflection.

 

Another problematic case emerges when the firm has two different types of business - is an executing broker (exchange member) and is also an organised market place (it runs a broker platform). Recent updates to the ACER's reporting manuals offer some help while resolving these issues.

Client relationship brings bonuses under REMIT

Category: REMIT
Published: 28 October 2015

 

As the latest version of the ACER's reporting guidelines acknowledges, the client participation in the trading venue not involving a membership does not entail a reporting requirement for the client under REMIT.

Day-ahead contract is a "forward style"?

Category: REMIT
Published: 26 October 2015

 

Do you identify differences between "forward contract" and "forward style contract"? No? You should start doing this. Since "forward style contract" can equally be a spot and your REMIT transaction reports may occur flawed.

There are first regulatory interventions sanctioning improper disclosure of REMIT inside information, in particular, regarding the power plant unplanned unavailability. 

 

It shouldn't be a surprise since the necessary content of such disclosure is sometimes missing.

 

The key dates approaching are 7 April 2016 and 7 July 2016.

Risk-reducing transactions more transparent

Category: MiFID
Published: 19 October 2015

Procedures-urgently-needed

 

Non-financial companies are required to include in their internal policies "measures to ensure" that the risk-reducing transactions serve no other purpose than covering risks directly related to the commercial activities of the non-financial entity, and that any transaction serving a different purpose can be clearly identified.

 

If they still want to remain non-financials, obviously…

 MiFID-2-alarm-clock

Overall, when it comes to transitory issues, it is useful to note that for an anciliary activity exemption the clock has started ticking as from July 2015 i.e. well before 2017, which is is the date when MiFID II will enter into force.

 

It follows, the trading activity executed as from July 2015 must be assessed  against the relevant thresholds.

Hedging - tornado approaches

Category: EMIR
Published: 24 August 2015

Hedging-emir-review

 

Clearing thresholds' calculations are quite complicated - partially on account of requirement to classify all OTC derivatives transactions as hedging or non-hedging (which fatigue applies even to the smallest counterparties).

 

There is a chance, in the foreseeable future the companies' procedures setting the company's position versus clearing threshold may become simpler, but this novelty unnecessarily would mean less regulatory burden.
