ISDA responds to the EC’s consultation on European financial legislation impact

When publishing its capital markets union proposal in September 2015, the European Commission (EC) launched a consultation on the cumulative impact assessment of European financial legislation in order to identify the areas where adjustments would help growth and jobs in the European Union. ISDA submitted a response to this cumulative impact assessment that predominantly focuses on the following three topics: a) capital rules; b) market transparency rules (pre-trade public transparency of derivatives markets under the Europe’s revised Markets in Financial Instruments Directive; and c) review of the European Market Infrastructure Regulation, which addresses reporting to trade repositories, central clearing and margining of derivatives. The introduction of this response aims to strongly support and demonstrate the benefits of derivatives markets for the economic growth. This response will serve as a reference for ISDA’s advocacy efforts in the coming months in Europe.
