EMIR Refit: FCs Reporting on Behalf of Both Itself and NFC- Clients: Operational Considerations

This document captures some of these operational considerations and potential steps FCs and NFCs may need to take (as identified by the ISDA Data and Reporting EMEA Working Group) in order to adhere to this EMIR Refit requirement.
