According to the ESMA, the trading obligation for derivatives only applies to interest rate swaps as specified in table 1-3 of the said Regulation that are traded at par.
Non-par swaps, including swaps traded at market-agreed-coupon (MAC), are currently not subject to the trading obligation for derivatives.
